3 Greeny Friends is an American animated TV show and Greeny Phatom spin-off created by Robert Stainton and co-created by Ulises Tobar. Unlike Greeny Phatom, it wasn't part of any Fox blocks from 1996-2001, as well as 2002-2005 just like Greeny Phatom. It then moved to Fox's Animation Domination block from 2005-2014, then it moved to Fox's Sunday Funday block from 2014-2016, and finally, it moved to the children's Saturday morning Fox Kids block owned by Stainton Enterprises on FOX from 2016-Present, all just like Greeny Phatom.
Plot[]
This show is about three greeny friends (as the title suggests) named Doctor, Doctor Beanson, and Gree Guy. They go on adventures as they explore places, fight villains, and more.

History[]
Robert Stainton and Ulises Tobar (despite their "rivalry") always wanted to make a show together. Something related to Greeny Phatom, but with major changes, new characters, and interesting and eye-catching storylines. So in June 7th, 1996, Robert (with his team) and Ulises (with his team) met up in Chicago, Illinois to make that show. A few days later (on June 11th 1996), their show has been made. This show is called "3 Greeny Friends", and it's about Doctor, Doctor Beanson, and Gree Guy going on adventures as they explore places, fight villains, and more. The first episode was already made! Robert and Ulises liked what they made, so they showed it to FOX to try and get it on TV. FOX really liked what they saw, so they greenlighted it and set the release of the first episode for June 14th, 1996. The show got very positive feedback, so they decided to continue it.
The show got so popular and well-liked, that in June 14th, 2010 (after the 15th season), The 3 Greeny Friends Movie was released. The movie got mostly positive reviews from critics, and the movie was so well-liked and popular that Robert and Ulises were thinking about making a sequel.
In an interview in 2014 with Robert and Ulises over 3 Greeny Friends, they were asked when the show would end soon. Robert said this: "I don't know when it would cancel yet, but if I had to choose when, it would probably be when Greeny Phatom ends."
This show currently has 22 seasons and 345 episodes as of June 17th, 2017. The next episode will come June 28th, 2017.
Controversy[]
Sadly, a good show can't be free from controversy.
In the UK, Little Guy 4 is cut entirely because BBC One and CBBC thinks Little Guy 4 represents British stereotypes, and they don't really want that on TV for obvious reasons. So, they cut the character entirely.
In Germany, Sergente Beanson is cut entirely because Super RTL thinks Sergente Beanson represents German stereotypes, so they removed the character. This controversy is similar to the Little Guy 4 controversy in the UK.
In Season 17 Episode 13: Little Brother: Over the Top, there is a scene with flashing colored lights. Many people with epilepsy suffered major seizures, and the scene had to be removed for re-runs. However, the full episode is available in the Season 17 DVD, but with a warning below the episode saying, "WARNING: If you have epilepsy, don't watch this episode because there is a scene with flashing colored lights on it. If you still want to watch the episode, then under this version is another version with the scene removed. Stay safe!" It then has the version without the scene below it.
