The first episode, - ''"Who's That Guy?!''", was launched in November 2005, followed by "The Landord" and "Jailtime for Jerry!". Audiences responded immediately to the intimately produced shorts. Since then, the unconventional, animated internetInternet films made mainly by only the two brothers have drawn worldwide attention with an internet audience in the millions.
 
Four months into the series, the National Television Academy selected their work as one of six nominees for the first Emmy Award for programming produced for broadband entertainment. The no-budget website narrowly lost to the multimillion-dollar production of [[AOL]]/[[Time Warner]] for ''[[Live 8]]''.<ref>{{cite web
