Short-lived show that got no publicity whatsoever. Only source is a press release. Extensive searching found only a couple of PR bits when the show was launched, an interview, and user-submitted content like IMDb and TV.com. Seems to have been too short-lived and unnoticed to get any attention.

Per WP:NTV: "the presence or absence of reliable sources is more definitive than the geographic range of the program's audience alone...a national television program might not be notable if it was cancelled too quickly to have garnered any media coverage."

Keep per "Generally, an individual radio or television program is likely to be notable if it airs on a network of radio or television stations (either national or regional in scope), or on a cable television channel with a broad regional or national audience. It is far less likely to be notable if it airs in only one local media market." WP:TVSHOW - Kolma8 (talk) 23:26, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Kolma8: I love how you blatantly ignored the passage from the same freaking policy that I just quoted. There are zero sources out there on this show, meaning it was "cancelled too quickly to have garnered any media coverage".

The show had 11 or 12 episodes ran for about a month, had a nomination on 37th Annie Awards, had a few mentioning: [1], [2], The Hollywood Reporter, Volumes 408-409, an entry in 'The Year in Television, 2009: A Catalog of New and Continuing Series', even FoxNews had an article [3], there is a review [4], Variety had an article about Popzilla (yet I can't find it now). So here ya go Kolma8 (talk) 09:18, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Boston.com and Fox News sources are just interviews, and the Popdust link is just a listicle in the context of MTV shows. I have found no proof of the Annie Awards nomination. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 17:24, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the Annies: [5], also 37th Annie Awards article. Popzilla was surely trash, but made some ripples. IMO. Thanks Kolma8 (talk) 15:56, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of programs broadcast by MTV#Animated Yet another MTV failure that was in and out of the world in four weeks which has all the appeal of a GoAnimate grounded video made by an eleven year-old (here's a bit from YouTube that proves my comparison). There's no point to keep this here; TVSHOW encourages keeps for most television shows, but if the series was on a cable network and barely got public notice, a List of link is the best result.

Redirect to List of programs broadcast by MTV#Animated I'd second that redirect to the list of programs broadcast by MTV. Pahiy (talk) 00:45, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep I don't know this show, but I think it should at least have a page. I think Kolma8 has a valid point on this topic. I see what Mrschimpf and Pahiy are saying, but have to respectfully disagree with them.Historyday01 (talk) 18:36, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
