Nightmare Ned

Nightmare Ned is an animated television series which ran from April 19, 1997, to August 9, 1997, on ABC. The show focuses on the life of Ned Needlemeyer, a 10-year-old boy that deals with his daily problems through dark, quirky nightmares. The show was canceled after only 12 episodes were produced due to production difficulties. The show ran over budget and there were creative differences among Donovan Cook, the producer and director of the show, and Walt Dohrn, the creator of the character and also a director of the show. Unlike most Disney animated series, reruns were never aired on Disney Channel or Toon Disney, and the series was never commercially released on home video.
