The Wheezer Bros. is an animated series supposenly aimed for young adults created by animator Jon H. Rexel. It was about Hungarian-born Wenger Doufybutox (Skoota as he likes to be called) immigrating to America to live with his cousins, quiet, troubled Ralf and estranged, idiotic Stinky (real name Jeremy) Wheezer, in which the bizarre and nonsensical occurs. The animation was produced by Mystic Pieces and the voices were provided by Mike Jennings. The series aired from November 1995 to September 2004.
Created as a short animation project by Jon H. Rexel, NBC Studios and Mystic Pieces turned the short film into a major animated TV series in 1995. Not only was the show a hit with teens, but also delighted young viewers as well, even though most episodes has mature adult humour in it (i.e. "They Ate Ralf's Brain", "Home Sweet Home", "Down with Wheezers"). All the shows were directed by Rexel until late 1997, when he (and a few members of the crew) quit the series after an incredible violent episode ("War: A Story") was pitched in front of NBC executives. The series was temporarily cancelled until NBC decided to give Mystic another chance in the summer of 1999. The series went back in production without Rexel, so assistant director Bill Stott (the person responsible for the calamity) was asked to be in charge. The final series aired in 2000 (with the completed "War: A Story" airing before the premiere) and the show officialy ended in 2001, but with four episodes remaining to air. In 2004, the remaining episodes (except one, which was banned from NBC because it had subliminal messages saying that the show was going to end) finally aired.
