James was later notified by the ABC staff that the episodes were already a huge success and the series, then still in its early form, had attracted a significantly large cult following by September of 1990. This meant that ABC could give James and his production company CJ2011 Pictures, got permission to start working on a full length series based on the episodes to be added to ABC's programming lineup. The series was originally set to premiere in March of 1991 on ABC with the original series pilot episode titled "Travis Goes to the Playground". But even after ABC executives previewed the episode with James watching in the foreground of the office, the executives said they wanted a different episode showing "how and why they even got to the playground in the first place" in order to make for better continuity. This meant that the original pilot episode had to be shelved from the network (until it was featured on the season 1 DVD in 2003). Nonetheless, James took ABC's advice and produced the new pilot episode, titled "Travis Reveals a Secret", which later premiered on ABC on Sunday, November 10, 1991.

The Travis Guy Show is a American animated television series created by CJ2011 for the American Broadcasting Company. It first premiered on November 10, 1991 as a sneak peak. The series officially premiered on December 8, 1991. The series is about a stick figure thing named Travis Guy, going on misadventures with his friends Dean, Travis Girl, and Keithy Guy. and destroying Troy the BlueMan's plans.

The show was first conceived by CJ2011 while he was serving his term at the Valencia, California based animation institute CalArts in late 1989. In early 1990, James created a test pilot for the show called "Travis Goes to the Playground" and pitched this to ABC.

James was later notified by the ABC staff that the episodes were already a huge success and the series, then still in its early form, had attracted a significantly large cult following by September of 1990. This meant that ABC could give James and his production company CJ2011 Pictures, got permission to start working on a full length series based on the episodes to be added to ABC's programming lineup. The series was originally set to premiere in March of 1991 on ABC with the original series pilot episode titled "Travis Goes to the Playground". But even after ABC executives previewed the episode with James watching in the foreground of the office, the executives said they wanted a different episode showing "how and why they even got to the playground in the first place" in order to make for better continuity. This meant that the original pilot episode had to be shelved from the network (until it was featured on the season 1 DVD in 2003). Nonetheless, James took ABC's advice and produced the new pilot episode, titled "Travis Reveals a Secret", which later premiered on ABC on Sunday, November 10, 1991.

Since its debut on November 10, 1991, 387 episodes of The Travis Guy Show have been broadcast. Its 27th season began on October 1, 2017. It is the second longest-running animated series in the U.S., behind The Simpsons, and it's currently the only cartoon that is airing on the ABC network.
