It wasn't really a pilot, but that doesn't mean I can't be massively upset it didn't go anywhere. That trailer was so good.

Maybe someday.

Billy & Mandy, Powerpuff Girls, Dexter Lab and a ton of other stuff came from What a Cartoon!/ Oh Yeah! Cartoons/Cartoon Cartoons/whatever millions of other ways they had called it over the years.

I wish they would start that up again as I feel the best cartoons came from that. I personally felt Mina and the Count had a ton of potential and have like three existing episodes you can find on Youtube quite easily.

All the DC Nation shorts, especially Amethyst not being made into a series which still hurts so much.

But not as much as Teen Titans Go being chosen over it.

Why the hell didn't it get picked up?

Indeed. I wish this was picked up.

Five.

They do. CN aired a bunch of pilots years ago, which is where the new crop of CN shows like We Bare Bears, Steven Universe, Lakewood Plaza Turbo, came from.

What-a-Cartoon/Oh Yeah Cartoons/etc were just collections of pilots that they already had on hand and decided to air because they already owned them.

It was back when Adult Swim was new. At the time they could only afford cheap flash animated shows.

No. They had Mission Hill and The Oblongs before that which was two of their more expensive original shows. They were able to afford it but it just took up too much of the budget, and they didn't want to take the financial risk despite that apparently even most of the AS staff really liked it.

Seeing his artstyle in motion was surprisingly satisfying. Scratched an itch I didn't even know was there.

And the casting, Christ. Immaculate, but probably the reason it never got picked up. talent like that couldn'tve been cheap at the time.

It hurts me so bad that this show was never picked up.

Sucks. Thats one of the reasons I liked it. None of that rounded noodle armed AT shit.

I disagree its because of Tartrotsky or whatever. Different generations produce different things. Generation X was more aggressive and was more into radical-ness and badditude. Generation Y, being sissies, is more sensitive, hence less threatning angular shapes and more rounded ones. Fuck you generation y, ya bunch of faggots.

Frankly, I don't mourn this because the chances of the whole series maintaining the quality of the pilot was just too low. It set the bar too high.

>>78293131
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia doesn't attack a specific group of people. There is no real-life analog of Charlie to attribute his behavior to. The nerds in Eltingville are specifically identified as iconic, meant to represent all nerds of a given type. It always came across as really mean-spirited and shitty to me.

It was meant to be cathartic though; because anyone who's deeply invested in nerdy shit has met people just like those characters. They were meant to represent the worst.
