Adventure Time and Two Witch Sisters are both very enjoyable w/ great design, etc. However, Hornswiggle?!? Alright!!

Hooray! Only three years late.

So is it going to be similar to Oh Yeah! Cartoons? Either way my interest is peaked.

Argh it’s has to be on NickToons network. I’ve been waiting to see some of these since two years ago, but now I don’t think I’ll get to.

*Ahem* typointhetitle.

Will they be airing Adventure Time, or does Cartoon Network own the pilot now?

09/12/08  1:32pm

Oh wow!! That’s really great news!

I can’t wait to see “Hornswiggle” :)

09/12/08  1:48pm

Good things come to those who wait.

I agree with Earl. WHY did it take this long?! I once talked to one of the creators in this showcase and I know that short was completed back in 2005!

09/12/08  6:01pm

Hey, Kyle Carozza’s Moobeard will be premiering too..

Congradution, Jerry. I am looking forward to seeing Hornswiggle. I hope that Nick make it a series for you.

I’m glad they’re finally airing Hornswiggle, Jerry. I’ve never caught the channel, but I’d advise everyone who has it to see Jerry’s cartoon.

Wow its finally coming to tv? AND the large hadron collider is functioning?

The world is truly ending.

By the way, Jerry, if your cartoon does great,

ask Paramount Pictures if they could release it as a series of theatrical cartoons….

Who knows? Maybe it could have Famous Studios/Terrytoons style titles, and for the cartoons themeselves, make it have Famous/Terrytoons sound effects, like the overused “Gold Swing” (that quick “swish” sound).

And if it does well, maybe Paramount/Lionsgate can think twice before marketing new stuff, so that Paramount/Viacom’s classic cartoon library can be on DVD and/or Blu-ray, or that new channel they are partnering with MGM can air the oldies.

YAAAAAAAAAY time to find someone who has cable!

Eric says:

An Anti-climax.

Fanboy gets 26 episodes on Nick. (It pays to know the development dept.)

Adventure Time gets 13 on Cartoon Network.

And 37 Cartoons get blown to the wind with no respect from Nick or Frederator.

How many of these show creators were able to pitch their short and bibles to Nick?

Answer - 0

They already made their decisions way before any airings.

09/15/08  9:29am

Hey, Eric. You’re wrong.

Every creator had (and still has) the opportunity to pitch his or her cartoon as a series to Nick. Most have. And I don’t why you say Frederator gave the shorts no respect.

Traditionally, airings have played a small - if any - part in the decision to pick up a short for series. This is true from Dexter’s Lab to Fairly OddParents to Fanboy.

Finally, we’re continuing to talk with networks about other series and long-form projects to be spun off from Random. I’m sorry none of them is yours.

09/15/08  12:14pm
Eric says:

I’m sorry Eric.

I heard these creators were supposed to meet with Nick a year ago to pitch their shorts.

It never happened. Do you dispute that?

It’s Algabreic!

09/15/08  12:44pm

Yes, I dispute that. Nick’s door has been open to all the creators to show how their shorts would translate to series. The majority of filmmakers have met with the network to pitch their ideas.

TV's Kyle says:

*raises hand* I pitched to the network, Erics.

Moobeard will finally be on television! YAAAY!!!
