This CGI-animated series is about a family of white lions who work as performers in the Las Vegas act of illusionists Siegfried & Roy.

The show stars Larry, a hard-working white lion in the revue with his wife Kate, a white lioness. Sarmoti, another white lion who is Kate's father - and Larry's father-in-law - clashes with Larry on every subject imaginable. Rounding out the group is Snack, a mischievous gopher and Larry's best friend.

It should be noted that the name Sarmoti is actually the acronym S.A.R.M.O.T.I., which stands for Siegfried and Roy: Masters of the Impossible.

The show was in jeopardy when in October 2003, Roy Horn was mauled by one of his tigers during a stage show that left Horn in critical condition. Executives at NBC and DreamWorks didn't know whether or not to go on with the show, but as Roy showed signs of improvement, both Siegfried and Roy urged the show to move forward in production.

When the show debuted in late August 2004, it got off to a good start with strong ratings. The ratings continued to show good promise for the show through early September 2004, until the ratings started to rapidly decline. The show faced more trouble when it was pulled from November 2004 sweeps, undoubtedly signaling the end was near. In early December 2004, Jeffrey Katzenberg, DreamWorks Animation CEO and show creator, announced that the show was cancelled. A few of the remaining episodes were burned off in late December 2004.

I'm surprised to see so little input for this series on metacritic. I remember watching this when it first aired and really enjoying it. Almost 10 years later as a 26 year old I figured I'd pick up the dvd and give it another go.... I'm so glad I did. Not only has this aged surprisingly wellI'm surprised to see so little input for this series on metacritic. I remember watching this when it first aired and really enjoying it. Almost 10 years later as a 26 year old I figured I'd pick up the dvd and give it another go.... I'm so glad I did. Not only has this aged surprisingly well but it is genuinely one of the best and funniest animated shows I have ever seen. If you like shows such as futurama that manage to keep the kids happy as well as throw in plenty of subtle adult jokes this is definitely for you. John Goodman was on fine form providing the voice acting and Siegfried and Roy will have you in stitches. Pick up the dvd now it's cheap and enjoy....… Expand
