The First Moment

"The First Story" is the series premiere of the American animated television series Lakewood Boys, which was first broadcast on in the United States on October 29, 2011. The episode was directed by Sam Crossick and written by series creator Brian Lisbon, and revolves around Benny and Tristan's first week of middle school as they attempt to fit in with their peers, who have unattainable high standards for who is classified as a "hero" (popular) or a "zero" (unpopular).

The episode's story is loosely based on a pilot script Lisbon wrote sometime in the 2000s to pitch the show to, whose would co-produce a 14-minute pilot episode condensing its story (which was posted on the channel's official website in 2008). As with the finished product, the original pilot was also written by Lisbon and directed by Crossick.
