Green Eggs and Ham

An inventive, headstrong inventor named Guy-Am-I and his tireless companion Sam-I-Am set off on a cross-country trip that pushes their friendship to new limits. What starts as a simple quest to prove a point turns into a long string of strange encounters, practical obstacles and oddball townsfolk, each challenge nudging them to try unfamiliar things. Along the way they pick up allies and rivals, and the trip becomes less about reaching a single destination and more about testing loyalties, learning flexibility and discovering what excitement and failure teach them about who they are. Sam's relentless cheer and Guy's skepticism fuel most scenes, and unexpected inventions complicate things, with plenty of jokes and action, and heart.

Released in 2019, the animated series was created by Jared Stern and adapted from Dr. Seuss's book. It features a high-profile voice cast including Adam Devine, Michael Douglas, Ilana Glazer, Diane Keaton and Keegan-Michael Key, aimed at families.

The series attracted industry notice and earned nominations from animation and children's television organizations for aspects like voice performance and design. It didn't dominate major awards, but several cast members and creative teams saw their work acknowledged. Industry groups noted the show's strong casting and technical craft.

By stretching a brief picture-book premise into an episodic adventure, the show reintroduced Dr. Seuss's playful ideas to older kids and families, prompting renewed interest in the source material. Its characters and visual style appeared in fan art and online conversations, helping it remain part of pop culture.

Critics generally responded favorably to the series' mix of comedy, action and heart, praising the vocal performances and vibrant animation. Viewers noted that the larger format lets episodes explore themes of openness, friendship and experimentation without losing the original's silliness. Audience scores average about 8.0 out of 10.
