Production notes
This series was preceded on May 25, 2008 by "China, IL: The Funeral," an 11-minute Adult Swim special which was streamed on the Super Deluxe website. It combined Brad Neely's "Professor Brothers" and "Baby Cakes" webseries, which were also streamed at Super Deluxe.
Frank and Steve Smith are brothers who teach in the history department of a state university in China, Illinois. They also happen to be legends in their own minds who will often sacrifice facts, lessons and syllabi for the sake of being awesome.
