Growing Around Growing Around: A slow moving trainwreck. (General Thread)

[Piga Dgrifm]

Imagine it, Enter's show somehow gets greenlit, he is told that he's getting a new cowriter. Light filters into the room as the door swings open. Enter's eyes widen in terror as he realizes that this man is... Casey Alexander.

@Piga Dgrifm: A twist worthy of the Twilight Zone...

Here it is, in all its spoilered glory.

Post your script, trombonista! Or link the original post.

I was thinking about this today while waiting for a bus, and I was just floored by how much Enter's preconceptions limit the possibilities of this idea. Nobody can be stupid, nobody can be an asshole, nobody can be humiliated even for a second, nobody can have a significant conflict with anyone they're close to, nobody can be in love...

Sounds like what the SJWs want Tumblr to be.

Some guy wrote great criticism there.

Something I've wanted to point out for a while is the names of the adults: Robert and Linda.

A common shortening of Robert is Bob. Isn't there an animated series about a family with parents named Bob and Linda?

I wonder what Enter thinks of this show.

I wonder what Enter thinks of this show.

Here's your answer according to his Tumblr blog:

I can tell he seemed kinda mixed on the show at the time but where he got the names for his characters seems really suspicious to me or just a really uncanny coincidence.

 

[KFC]

He picked all around generic names, so I doubt that he used them purposely.

 

[chimpburgers]

Robert I can believe he didn't use on purpose or steal from Bob's Burgers, but the Linda thing still rubs me the wrong way.

The cast:

Didn't he say that he hated Timmy Turner's character? Then why in the hell did he use it as inspiration??? Timmy in GA is so bland that he barely has a character, though.

 

[The Jumping Dwarf]

I don't think the GA Timmy was inspired by the FOP Timmy. He might as well have been inspired by a piece of cardboard.

 

[Piga Dgrifm]

Actually, he liked the early FOP seasons.

I agree. It's still kinda off-putting that his young boy character has the same name as the main character in one of the cartoons he talks about a lot. He had so many names to choose from.

That's asking too much of Enter to come up with something that stands out.

That was the best thing I ever read related to Growing Around. One may as well try and write their own that could be bette than what Enter has.

Me an' Piga are welcoming new hands.

Also, has anybody gleaned what kind of rating they're going for here?

I think Enter wants this to appeal to all ages- maybe TV-13 or whatever. It seems that way from what I can tell.

Whatever age Enter and Kyle are, seeing as that's their intended audience.
