He spent five years as a writer and creative consultant for MTV, Include Rugrats for which (often in collaboration with Glenn Eichler) he conceived Clio-winning promo campaigns and wrote several years' worth of "The Video Music Awards." Since serving as a writer and senior story editor for the first five seasons of "Rugrats" (for which he won an Emmy and the Jewish Televimage Award), Gaffney has worked extensively in TV animation for both children and adults. He has also written for film, created video games, edited a book ("The Herodotus File") and developed concepts for new media -- both on his own and in partnership with Japhet Asher, the former vice-chairman of (Colossal) Pictures and creator of MTV's "Liquid Television."
  • The great-grandson of Irish immigrants, Gaffney was born and raised in the hardscrabble farm country of upstate New York near Binghamton, where his father, himself the grandson of Irish immigrants, eked out a living as an IBM engineer, dreaming of something better than an MIT degree for his only legitimate son. Gaffney attended a Northeastern liberal arts college, where he was an editor of The Harvard Lampoon and a roommate of Al Jean and Mike Reiss. Soon after graduation Peter Gaffney moved to Southern California, but he returned to New York after a year to work on National Lampoon Magazine. Following that job and a stint as a staff writer for MTV he came back out to L.A., where some say he remains to this day, doomed to haunt the bungalows and backlots of Hollywood forever in a vain search for his missing head.
