Jeffrey and John is an American animated sitcom created by Brent Schooley, the show revolves around a 12 (later 13 and then 14) year old boy named John Surname, who goes on misadventures with his conspicuous imaginary friend named Jeffrey, a cynical and sarcastic imaginary friend who gets John into trouble.

The show premiered on FunNet on December 4, 1998 as a part of FunNet's "Night of New" night, however, the program attracted controversy from the Parents Television Council due to strong coarse language ("hell" and "damn" being used the most), in a 2000 interview, Brent said that while they were allowed to use some swearing, they weren't allowed to show anything "too cartoonish-ly violent", the controversy lead to FunNet creating a new block for the 18-34 demographic known as FunNet@Night, which premiered on January 23, 1999 with the premiere of the second episode of Jeffrey and John, despite the controversy, the first episode received positive reviews for it's writing, characters, and animation.

As time went on, Jeffrey and John became commercially and critically popular, it has spawned merchandise, home media, and a 2006 feature-length TV-to-movie film, the show has also garnered high ratings, and became the flagship program of FunNet@Night.

However, on January 23, 2011, the 12th anniversary of the show's premiere on FunNet@Night, it was announced that the show would end after 13 seasons due to Brent wanting to pursue other projects, the show had it's finale on TBD, 2011 ("Future"), despite the show ending, the show continues to be a legacy among the block, rerunning episodes everyday, being streamed on Hulu, and being talked about everyday in conversations and having new fans for years to come, after the show ended, Brent went on to work for a FunNet animated show, known as The Council, which shared some of the staff behind Jeffrey and John.
