Summary

Starting June 2007, CBS planned to broadcast seven episodes of an Americanized version of the show, featuring ordinary American people providing the voices, in the same vein as the British original. The series was titled Creature Comforts and was seen Monday nights at 8PM ET/PT from 4 June to 18 June 2007 (only three episodes were broadcast due to low ratings, and was replaced with reruns of The New Adventures Of Old Christine); the series was also simulcast in Canada on the CH system. CBS also created a web presence with the help of the Creature Comforts staff. A behind-the-scenes collaborative account/blog of each episode was posted in conjunction with the 3 short-lived airings. The American version was co-produced by Aardman Animations and The Gotham Group. Seven episodes of this series were produced. However, the series ran for only three episodes before being cancelled by CBS due to low ratings. It's remaining episodes were later premiered on Animal Planet in 2008.
