Original theme and score by John Clifford White

Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist John Callahan presents this dark but humourous tale featuring a quadriplegic, a blind man, a man with hooks for hands and one guy who's just a head on a skateboard. It's dark, it's cynical, it's twisted and it's definitely a comedy. Starring Reilly, a foul-mouthed drunk who is paralyzed after being run over by a Rolls Royce and then given a mansion by the guilt-ridden driver, we get a first-hand account of a quadriplegic and his assortment of other differently-abled friends who live under the same roof. Quads is the world's first broadcast television series produced entirely in Macromedia Flash animation
