Downtown is the story of nerdy, toy-boy Alex, and his adventures while living in his first apartment in downtown New York. While having a rather unexciting job in a copy store, his life is frequently made more exciting by his wild partying sister Chaka, who often takes advantage of Alex's apartment to crash after clubbing. Also wandering in and out of his life is his despondent best friend Jen, his dream goth-girl Serena, disgusting ladies-man Goat, and Chaka's squad of high school friends - dreamy Mecca, tagger Matt, and wannabe Casanova Fruity.
A truly one-of-a-kind show, Downtown has been overlooked and under-appreciated since it's creation. As usual, MTV cancelled one of it's best shows after only one season, so it has sadly faded into obscurity. I'd advise you to grab any opportunities to see this show that come up.

Great show about a group of twenty-something friends living in New York City and the adventures they endure.
Watched this show when I was fifteen and I hadn't seen it since until one day I remembered the title and searched for the torrent. Now I have all 13 episodes and watch them all the time.
I wish there was a way to petition MTV for the show, but I doubt many people still remember.

i watched it a couple of days ago on mtv2.i can't believe such a creative,intriguing and addictive piece of work got cancelled.it's a rarity to come across a show that has not had at least ONE bad episode.well here it was.it's any wonder how shows like daria and beavis and butthead managed to out live this.
downtown uses the abstract imagery to emphasis the stories and thoughts being had.this unique style just added more to it's appeal.it's a shame that mtv did not put as much advertising into this as they do other shows.given half the chance i'm sure it would of secured a strong and devoted following.
"downtown definitely a 10/10!"

Well, I occasionally watched this at nights, where I live- when there was nothing better on. It's a very enjoyable television show... which- I know this might come to some as a shock- doesn't need the F word or disgusting humor to get laughs. Hear that Beavis & Butthead and all you South Park kids?! Shame it didn't win as much popularity as the other two mentioned. Likable-humorous characters, strange but unique animating style, plus good humorous look at The Big Apple. One of the better adult-intended animated TV shows out there.
The way I see things, "Downtown" is a beautiful rare gem. I gotten into this show earlier this morning & I enjoyed watching it so much that I would wanna watch it forever. I especially like how realistic the dialogue amongst the characters sound, the animation style is beautiful, the episodes are interesting & above all else, it's really underrated due to the fact that MTV cancelled it after 13 episodes for unknown reasons. It is also a shame I was NEVER alive to watch the show back when MTV used to air it but I can honestly say that I am so happy I got a chance to try "Downtown" during this Easter & I regret absolutely nothing when it comes to watching it.
