      • Men in Black: The Series (also known as MIB: The Series, MIB: The Animated Series, and Men in Black: The Animated Series) is an American animated television series that originally aired on Kids' WB from October 11, 1997, to June 30, 2001.
      The show features characters from the science fiction film Men in Black, which was based on the comic book series The Men in Black written by Lowell Cunningham and drawn by Sandy Carruthers, originally published by Marvel / Malibu Comics. The series was produced by Adelaide Productions, a division of Columbia TriStar Television, and Amblin Entertainment as a half-hour series originally airing on Saturday mornings, and later moving to weekdays during its final run.


      Plot


      The show is set after the first Men in Black film in an alternate timeline. The most significant differences in the series are that Agent K did not retire, and Agent J is still regarded as a rookie. Agent L, on the other hand, is depicted as a senior staff of the organization, a radical change from the first film. Some episodes do incorporate aspects of the film franchise. While the series offers internal continuity and extended plot arcs, it is primarily presented in standalone episodes. Some recurring themes include the exploration of K's origins, as well as J encountering individuals from his life prior to joining MIB. Unlike the film series, the MIB headquarters is located at what looks like a disused area under LaGuardia airport instead of 504 Battery Drive in New York City.

      In the United Kingdom, the first season was released by Columbia TriStar Home Video on two bumper-edition VHS tapes in 1998 and 1999, alongside a tape containing the first two episodes of the season. The first volume contained the first seven episodes with the first episode included as a bonus "Pilot" episode. The second volume contained the other six episodes.

      On July 12, 2004, UCA released a single-disc DVD containing the first three episodes of the first season. Further releases were planned, but sales were not strong enough to warrant any other DVD releases from UCA.
      The entire first season was issued on DVD for the first time on July 4, 2007, in Australia, via Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. The set contained two discs, one containing seven episodes and the other containing the remaining six. On July 16, 2007, the set was made available in the United Kingdom but was split up into two separate volumes instead of a whole box set.
