bocquelet conceived "the amazing world of gumball" in 2007 while working as a development artist for cartoon network studios europe. having been asked by the network to pitch an idea for a new series for adult swim, he took sketches of several unused characters he had created for commercials and started developing a concept for a new series based on them. as cartoon network was heavily interested in "family and school shows" at the time, bocquelet decided to make the series a kid series called "the amazing world of gumball" which was a combination of both. he pitched the series to daniel lennard, vice president of original series and development at turner broadcasting, who was impressed by the series' premise and ultimately greenlit its production. the first series to be greenlit by cartoon network studios europe, "the amazing world of gumball" premiered on may 3, 2011 with the episode "the dvd", which was watched by 2.120 million viewers in the united states.
