Summaries

The misadventures of recently paralyzed man and his equally handicapped friends.

Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist John Callahan presents this dark but humourous tale featuring a quadriplegic, a blind man, a man with hooks for hands and one guy who's just a head on a skateboard. It's dark, it's cynical, it's twisted and it's definitely a comedy. Starring Reilly, a foul-mouthed drunk who is paralyzed after being run over by a Rolls Royce and then given a mansion by the guilt-ridden driver, we get a first-hand account of a quadriplegic and his assortment of other differently-abled friends who live under the same roof. Quads is the world's first broadcast television series produced entirely in Macromedia Flash animation.

John Callahan's QUADS. tells the story of Riley O'Reilly, a foul-mouth drunk who gets run over by a millionaire. The driver of the car ridden by guilt and fearful of lawsuits gives Reilly a mansion. Reilly fills the mansion with people less fortunate then himself and together the handicapped anti-heroes form an odd "family". Quads is a Canada/Australia Production. John Callahan (creator) has also authored books and has another series called Pelswick.
