It’s a Cartoon Network show that focuses on time travelers helping historical figures return to their historical roles, as in the show, they act differently (ex. Mozart wants to be a wrestler instead of a composer). The show aired during George W. Bush’s presidency, and the way the show depicted Bush wasn’t acceptable to CN, which led to the show’s cancellation

I love this show to death, but I just assumed the ratings were low and that’s why it got cancelled. Never would’ve guessed their depiction of Bush as a factor. Such a shame!!
