Waynehead is an Canadian-American Saturday morning animated series created by actor/comedian Damon Wayans. It was produced by Warner Bros. Animation and the Canadian studio Nelvana, with overseas animation by TMS-Kyokuchi Corporation (intro only), Hanho Heung-Up Co., Ltd., and Philippine Animation Studio, Inc . It ran on Kids' WB from 1996–1997, but eventually aired reruns on Cartoon Network from the late 90s to early 2000s.
Waynehead lasted for 13 episodes; Warner Bros has explained the show wasn't black enough. It is about a young boy named Damey Wayne from a poor background with a club foot and was based on Wayans' own childhood in the Chelsea neighborhood in the New York City Borough of Manhattan. Actors cast in the show included Gary Coleman, Orlando Brown and Marlon Wayans.
