Since Wikipedia is listless here, I was wondering if I was missing any animated shows made in the US that are under the Writers Guild of America. I know that the following are. Am I missing a few?

-American Dad!
-Baby Blues
-Class of 3000
-The Cleveland Show (upcoming)
-Dilbert
-Family Guy
-Futurama
-God, The Devil, and Bob
-The Goode Family (upcoming)
-King of the Hill
-Mission Hill
-The Oblongs
-The PJs
-Pocket Dragon Adventures
-Sammy
-The Simpsons

And if the writers manage to get their deal with Sony, Sit Down Shut Up will be added. I don't know if The Critic was WGA, or any of those short-lived shows around the mid-nineties like Capitol Critters. (edit: The Critic, Family Dog, Fish Police, and Capitol Critters were not WGA shows).

I'm not counting half-animated shows like Out of Jimmy's Head, which also has a WGA contract.

every current primetime animated series was under the WGA, and I bet a majority of the ones in the past 10 years have been too

Thanks.


You forgot Baby Blues.

I'm not sure if that was WGA.

I'm not sure if that was WGA.Among its writers were Jeff Martin (The Simpsons), Jill Soloway (Six Feet Under, Grey's Anatomy) Jeff Filgo & Jackie Behan (That 70's Show) and Leonard Dick (Lost)

Someone should add an entry to the TZ Wiki (http://wiki.toonzone.net/index.php/Main_Page) for this topic. It would make a useful reference.

The title is eluding me, but what about the short-lived prime-time show just a year or so back featuring animated versions of Siegfried & Roy's menagerie?

Dreamworks Animation is under contract with the IATSE and not the WGA, so that's an unknown.

answer: After a writers' walkout, the Pride writers got near-WGA minimums, but the show was still IATSE. So no, Father of the Pride was not WGA.
