“So kids, like what your seeing?”

“Samantha, I noticed that your “fun-o-meter’ is stuck in the middle. Why is that?

“Well the robots are cool, but why aren’t there any girls?”

“Why couldn’t the long lost brother be a long lost sister?“

“And how are all their disparate technologies able to connect to each other?”

“Doesn’t like boys!”

“Doesn’t understand robots!”

“That’s”

“That’s not what I said!”

Damn.

Cartoon Network is getting too damn real

That’s pretty goddamn ironic from a network which cancelled a superhero show because it was watched by too many girls, due to belief that it’s impossible to market superhero merch to girls

I’m fairly sure that’s the joke.

(Also the network doesn’t make the show - people may not realize that Cartoon Network isn’t a giant conglomerate cartoon factory and actually consists of tens of thousands of individual creators, many of whom spend a significant portion of their day wondering what can we sneak past Cartoon Network?)

At least that’s what I’m like when I write for them. Zing!!

That’s certainly how we operated when writing for them when they were Hanna-Barbera, before they were Cartoon Network. Some things don’t change.

In fact we would sometimes put three or four things in a script that we knew they’d catch and insist on having removed, so we would get away with the one thing we really wanted to keep in…
