So, this is happening in a little over a week. I gotta say it was unexpected, being so close to Stakes. The pilot was meh (pretty derivative of Regular Show both aesthetically and with the protagonist), but I think CN's pretty good about bringing fresh stuff to the table, especially with this being a miniseries, so I'm cautiously optimistic.
The only footage of the show available:

What are the chances that they'll advertise this properly
>synopsis and cast
Long Live THE ROYALS is a sitcom thatfocuses on a modern royal family living in an old-fashioned world. They oversee matters of the State while managing typical family dynamics, and they balance current technologies with medieval traditions. Join them as they try to keep it together while navigating the week-long Yule Hare Festival where there will be delicious food, exciting frights, singing forest men and most importantly, much laughter.
Filled with all the humor and heart that is core to a Cartoon Network show, Long Live THE ROYALS features a voice cast of some of comedy's brightest talents, with Jon Daly as blowhard King Rufus, Wendi McLendon-Covey as image-focused Queen Eleanor, Gillian Jacobs as punk rock Princess Rosalind, Kieran Culkin as shy Prince Peter and Nicki Rapp as royal pain Prince Alex. Peter Serafinawicz, Horatio Sanz, Fred Armisen, Alfred Molina, Ellie Kemper, Ken Marino and more also lend their voices to the fun.

>Alfred Molina
Remember when he was a respected actor?
wow it's only an hour long
>>77583287
>mini series
>it's a goofy sit com with no plot
What's the point again?
Wow, I had no idea this was happening.
I gaurentee it's gonna end up forgotten immediately after airing.
So are they trying to ride the waves of Over the Garden Wall's success as a mini series?
>>77584192
it's a good investment
I remember seeing something like a pilot of this a while back
I kinda like the idea of a feudal monarchy existing in in the modern day, but other than that I didn't much care for it
But we will never be royals

CN is shit, and show will be shit, but at least I'll have something "fresh" to post in our animation group.
Also, fuck CN for only announcing airdates now

>that pic
>that entire post

>>77585700
I forgot to say pic unrelated - I just love incest
>>77585809
Is this a part of the puzzle
>>77584695

He is one the best parts of Penn Zero Part Time Hero
>>77585590
What the fuck are you talking about?
>>77583287
I am pessimistic. The pilot sucked major donkey balls.
>>77588407
CN is nothing but tumblr shit and TTG nowadays. Long live the royals looks pretty bad already, and that's just the previews
>>77583878
>there's no plot, what's the point
everything doesn't need to be Adventure Time you bitch
>>77589825
>Adventure Time
>Plot
>>77589825
>Watching adventure time for the plot.
>>77583723
That's a little disappointing, but we'll see how it turns out.
the pilot felt like dave the barbarian and regular show
kinda meh but i love the intro
>>77589825
>>77583878
There is a plot though, in the video Wallace Wells explicitly says
>It's miniseries, that means there's a beginning, middle, and end
>>77589751
CN is even partnering up with Tumblr to make new shows.
>>77583287
"Pig in a vent" was the only thing I enjoyed from the pilot, and it really doesn't seem like the kind of show which would support a miniseries. I don't have high hopes for this, AJ's Infinite Summer seems like a better show.
