What are some of the most batshit and dumbest executive stories you've heard of?Mike Lazzo is usually praised within the CN and Adult Swim cycle, but made some really retarded claims early on. >couldn't understand I Am Weasel because weasels and baboons didn’t interact in the wild.>sabotaged Johnny Bravo because he personally didn't like Kirk Tingblad and his crew, despite it doing really well>changed the voice of Robot Jones to a little kid instead of the text to speech one., must to the dismay of creator Greg Millerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4NErpCXFh0&t=1990sHe did worse things later on when he Adult Swim president, liking cancelling ATHF despite it still doing good in the ratings.
>cancelling ATHF despite it still doing good in the ratings.Yet most of us here complain about The Simpsons, Family Guy and SpongeBob not ending
>>150251487>couldn't understand I Am Weasel because weasels and baboons didn’t interact in the wild.Did his dumbass ever consider that Timon and Pumbaa were hugely popular at the time? The masses doesn't give a shit about accurate animal pairings.
Regarding adaptationsAmelia Rules!>Creator of Amelia Rules! is approached by an exec to make a tv show to which he agrees to>She backs off at the last second because she didn't actually read the series and when she finally did she found out it tackled more serious topics than expected>They changed their mind because Amelia Rules had too much "content" and "content" is bad for the female demographic who just needed a cute icon to latch onto to buy stuff and having "content" is damaging for a girls property>This exec was a womanFranny K. Stein>Creator was approached to get Franny K. Stein adapted for a cartoon series>Network execs wanted to age up the character, make her envious of popular girls, have her focus on crushes, etc>Basically the series in name only to which he heavily disagreed withBone>In 1998 Nickelodeon wanted to adapt Bone for the big screen and signed a deal with Jeff Smith>They wanted the Bones to be played by children, Fone Bone to have magic gloves, have the focus move to Thorn, the ending to be changed, and have music from Nsync and Britney Spears>The meddling got so bad Smith walked out of the project
>>150251487>changed the voice of Robot Jones to a little kid instead of the text to speech one., must to the dismay of creator Greg Millerwasn't that one partially for legal reasons, I remember hearing somewhere the company that made the digitizer they used for Robot Jones original voice threatened to sue CN for using it without their permission
>>150251487ENTER
>>150251487Lazzo sabotaged Superjail by progressively limiting what they could depict as well to the point of "no cigarettes ever" (why the anti-smoking episode happened), and then only greenlighting them for 6 episodes in season 4.More importantly, the Moral Orel mess was uh, something.
>>150251487In season 2 of Gravity Falls, there is a scene in the Golf War episode where the executives wanted Pacifica and her parents to have a seatbelt on, despite being inside a parked limousine. They seemly argued with the crew over it. I don't remember who won, but it feels retarded either way. Just draw the 2 lines. It doesn't obstruct the scene at all.
>>150251592>They wanted the Bones to be played by children, Fone Bone to have magic gloves, have the focus move to Thorn, the ending to be changed, and have music from Nsync and Britney Spears.Its funny how this retarded studio trend following is so common that even comics in 70's like Fat Freddy's Cat poked fun at it.
>>150251487Nickpedos are even worse
Ted Turner killing Swat Kats was the worst executive meddlingButthurt Indians whining about Ghandi in Clone High was the worst general public meddling.The Boston Police Department going full retard over some LED lights was the worst government meddling.
>>150251592
>>150252634>Ted Turner killing Swat Kats was the worst executive meddlingThis didn't happen
>>150251619It was actually because they wanted him to sound “more Hollywood”Fuck Lazzo for that pathetic excuse.
>>150252960Yes it did. He explicitly cancelled it himself because he thought it was too violent
>>150253200You would fail to provide proof of that.
>>150253278>The way I heard it was that Ted Turner himself simply thought the show was too violent for kidsThat's from Lance Falk, one of the creators.https://swatkats.info/exclusives/lance-falk-interviews/
>>150251487Mike Lazzo literally got better at his job as time went on so people often think about the good at the tail end of his career and not the shitty start. I guess we can scratch OUR heads about when ML thought a show could not work because the anthropomorphic animal cast would never be able to interact in the wild, but eventually he seemed to come around on more off the wall shit working and we actually got a decent era of animation on CN/AS out of it. One of the weird things about the corporate world is the job of "find the right people for the job" is harder then one might think and it makes sense to me somebody would take a while to really hit the groove on it. It also would track that once the people person who can find the hits is gone, shit would also start to stink. Hollywood was a lot better before the best "people finder" went to jail for sexual assault, for better or worse.
>>150251635for what its worth, i can't hate Dan if only cause he believed in ReBoot during the ABC days and was always championing for it and jumped ship to Mainframe once it was cancelled the first time.
>>150251487Nick greenlighting a show from a creator previously known for his insanely deranged works like Johnny the Homicidal Maniac and proceeding to butt heads with him at every step, getting mad at the budget because they were directing money and animators towards CatDog which they were still convinced was going to be a smash hit, and then finally cancelling the show because even though it did great with teens and young adults that wasn't the specific demographic they wanted it to do well in, despite it up-front clearly aiming for an older audience.
>>150252960>>150253278The Ted Turner violence thing is well-known but it was more like the final straw, the show also had some legal trouble with the characters and Hanna-Barbera didn't like how expensive it was to produce. The questionable bullshit that I've never seen a real source for is that Ted Turner wanted to cancel the series because Callie gave him a stiffy.
>>150251487The one that comes to mind at the moment was when they canceled Young Justice because too many girls liked it and some corpofuck didn't want to make toys for girls.And the way they sabotaged the non-beanmouth Thundercats reboot by sticking it in the death sentence time slot
don't look up Glitch Techs.
>>150251789Wasn't the entirety of Gravity Falls full of insane demands?
>>150251487According to a Q&A with SpongeBob writer Dani Michaeli, Nick are the ones that forces the writers to make those 22-44 minute specials, which explains why many of them are shit.
Rich people need to be sent to a mental asylum.
>>150251487Disney wanted Jake Long to wear a helmet and knee pads while flying in his dragon form
>>150251487Hasbro with every new generation of product of Horse Show forcing to add G4 references
>>150253407The budget thing was Steve Ressel's fault while Vasquez just wanted to make a funny show.Ricky Simmons always hated Ressel's retarded ideas
>>150253427>The questionable bullshit that I've never seen a real source for is that Ted Turner wanted to cancel the series because Callie gave him a stiffy.That’s just something /co/ made up and drawfags ran with because it’s a funnier explanation. Fucking hilarious if people are actually taking it seriously now.
>>150253869>And the way they sabotaged the non-beanmouth Thundercats reboot by sticking it in the death sentence time slotAnd even then it did well enough to warrant a second season. They canceled it because legends of chima had a similar looking protagonist and premise and CN decided to kill all their plot driven half hour action shows in favor of 11 minute comedy driven shows like Adventure Time and Regular show. Funny enough according to recent reports CN's ratings went into a free fall a little after this purge, around 2014 when they canceled Ben 10 Omniverse their last action driven show, and has never recovered. Looking back Thundercats and Young Justice's cancelations were canary in a coal miner situations of what was coming
>>150252919Chad move jeff
>>150253869>The one that comes to mind at the moment was when they canceled Young Justice because too many girls liked it and some corpofuck didn't want to make toys for girls.And then they made season 3 try too hard to appeal to women.
>>150251487Fox screwing over Family Guy, American Dad, Futurama and King of the Hill, before they eventually returned
>>150251487the Bye Bye Beavers situation, Nick really screwed Angry Beavers crew and its creator Mitch Schauer
Look up Glitch Techs.
>>150253384>so people often think about the good at the tail end of his careerNah his entire career is mixed. He still has some brilliant stuff early on, but even late in his career he's making bizarre personal decisions because of his diehard hipster idea of being unable to coast and wanting to not dwell on the past
>>150256094Didn't he kill C Martin Croker?
>>150253407The problem with examples like this was it wasn't "Nickelodeon" as some singular entity, it was executive A, who left, and then executive B comes along and hates the show and wants it gone so they can replace it with a cartoon they are currently pitching. Right hand vs left hand.
>>150251487I didn’t know that about Johnny Bravo. Now I can see why they hired Van Partible back.
>>150251789Wasnt that the same Ep that had the graphic scene of a sentient golfball having a very tragic fate befall upon him as a one off gag and then mabel and pacifica just move on with the game? Thats OK but a seatbelt in a fully parked limo is out of the question?
>>150256102Croker probably could've made better financial decisions, but allegedly Adult Swim was flaky with payments. Either way, Lazlo should've helped out the guys he came up with better. Croker was the one animating all the new work for Space ghost and working on countless AS shows and CN bumpers; they weren't just reusing assets, Croker was drawing them based off the old model sheets because they didn't just have access to all the old cels and needed some new scenes as well. It's a testament to how good an artist Croker is that many don't realize there's a lot of original assets in SGC2C
>>150251680>Lazzo sabotaged SuperjailMaybe he's not as bad as I thought...
>>150251487>Mike Lazzo is usually praised within the CN and Adult Swim cycle, but made some really retarded claims early on.Dude is just lucky thats all right place right time fucked everyone else over the get the highest spot job the boss of everyone.He has way more blunders than wins dude also hated anime with a passion canceled every good show to promote """new""" garbage because people get bored of old shows Fucking cancled ATHF which cost nothing to make but let squidbillies go on for longer than 3 seasons the show which hardly anyone liked and was rarely funny(but at least when it was funny shit was beyond hilarious)
>>150251487Lazzo is actual living proof that someone can be a worthless, uneducated, lazy piece of shit in Modern day USA and still somehow bumblefuck into a high paying decent job while giving absolutely zero effort into any aspect of their lives. Any other country in any other time period he would have starved to death by 22.
>>150251635I never really have understood the whole concept of the guy in charge deciding>Fuck all these selling titles that are making money right now>I want everything wound back to MY CHILDHOOD only!! Who cares if I cancel books that are selling and kill the company in the process, what pleases me is the most important thing ever!!!Which is kind of why you should never ever allow a fanboy reach any heights in a company. They are going to cancel everything they do not personally like and promote only what they want to personally read. Somehow it's what they want and not what the customer wants.
>>150251680Superjail was just 8 minutes of gore porn, who the fuck cares?
>>150251487Adult Swim screwing over Venture Bros., Superjail, Metalocalypse, and Boondocks
>>150256282Carly Means, Frylock's VA refused to leave the state of New Jersey to look for voice acting work and both Dana and Dave are both dedicated members to the VA guild so they get royalties with Dana getting the highest royalties especially in merch. Carly continues to voice frylock because he literally due to travel reasons cant better market himself so he was basically voicing frylock for almost nothing compared to the pay everyone else was making on the show.
>>150256394Mike is also a massive shill for MacFarlene slop and Rick and Morty.
>>150252960Then why the fuck does Mega Babies exist?
>>150255066>Watching anything before or after G4
>>150253869That one make perfect sense to anyone that has dealt with broadcast tv. It's not even executive meddling, it's the paid advertisers that own those timeslots that cause the problems.Timeslots are paid for by advertisers, the advertisers are the ones who actually control a show living or dying, and all they want is something to bring in a very specific demographic that aligns with the product they are advertising, since they spent millions on that ad space. A company that makes and sells products for boys 9-12 only want a show that draws in boys ages 9-12 in their 11AM timeslot. The studio has to ensure that the show they have there only draws in boys ages 9-12. Ratings do not matter in this, they want the demo first!The show brings in a different demographic, pisses off the advertisers who will pull their ad revenue if a show fails to grab the demo they demand. The network has to make a fast change now, and they can only axe the show or move it to another timeslot since the Advertisers are the paypigs in charge of all of this and they want instant results. 90% of the time that means the show is buried for something else immediately. The Advertisers cannot care what else goes in that slot, as long as it aligns with their ad demo.
>>150256632It always fascinates me when actors make retarded decisions like this.>I'm not going to change my lifestyle to suit my career, even if it bites me in the ass, because [something something racism]
>>150256674Bronies, this is your mindset.
>>150256685No one really knows what role the ad guys play in broadcast stuff. A show can have amazing ratings and still be cancelled because the ad companies didn't like it or it somehow didn't match their brand...during the commercials. The part no one ever wants to pay attention to or flips channels when they're on. But ad companies controlled what remained on tv or what was cancelled throughout most of tv history.The only times a network was capable of being in charge is the very few and far between times a show was such a huge breakout hit that the channel could now be the ones who dictated who gets to buy the ad space, and advertisers were massively competing with each other who got to have that golden timeslot space.
>>150251487>>changed the voice of Robot Jones to a little kid instead of the text to speech one., must to the dismay of creator Greg MillerThis one will always baffle me because I have never met a single person who didn't like the robot voice better.
>>150256685This is why you make sure the show has its own merch
>>150256645>MacFarlene sloponly American Dad is kino
>>150256755To be fair, it was a fartful hate cartoon.
>>150257119shut the fuck up Mr. Enter
>>150256755His show was responsible for a mass shooting. He deserved much worse.
>>150257154that was Danny Phantom, you retard
>>150257168No, it was Evil Con Carne and it killed 12 people.
>>150257183Wait, was it recent?
>>150256282He made good shit
>>150257203>Both Crocker and Lowe are dead now
>>150257255Show started 31 years ago, it's been a long damn time now.
>>150257334Watching this clip makes me mad that they never attempted a live action moviehttps://youtu.be/1-cHCBg6zs4
>>150251487Mike's another boomer who was in the right place at the right time. Got sucked up the ladder by the power vacuum and made things worse the more he was allowed to act on his own.
based executives removing hateful fart cartoons from the air and protecting the minds of children (while giving them what they really want thanks to the miracle of focus groups)
The reason why Freakazoid abandoned most of their characters and focused on half hour stories, as opposed to the sketch format, was because WB wanted to focus on more stories that made sense.
>>150255196>canary in a coal minerThat's disgusting
>>150257183Loco. You cant say shit like that and expected that people to know what happened.
>>150257489That sucks. Season 2 was still great, but I loved those shorts and missed them.
>>150257183When the fuck that happened?

>>150251487>>changed the voice of Robot Jones to a little kid instead of the text to speech one., must to the dismay of creator Greg MillerWasn't this because of copyright issues?
>>150256576Boondocks i can understand because aaron really didn't set himself up for success production wise. Obviously something that good takes time to make but that doesn't feel like meaningless corporate dickery as much as the rest of these.
>>150259404No, read the thread and watch the creator video faggot.
>>150251789Most Standard and Practices for kids networks are very anal about seatbelts. Ok Ko had an issue where rad was sitting on top of a car hood and the animators never gave him a seatbelt cause it wouldn’t make sense where he was. The network cleared the scene on the grounds that they give him a seatbelt and they never let rad be animated on top of a car again.
>>150256674>Nooo this IP needs only one generation to be relevant and not allowed to have multiple incarnations like Transformers and TMNT This is the mindset that Hasbro has with MLP btw
>>150253869>And the way they sabotaged the non-beanmouth Thundercats reboot by sticking it in the death sentence time slotThey did it to all their non-spammed shows
>Genndy Tartakovsky: We drew a dog's butt. Just like a circle, little asterisks, very innocent, we didn't think anything of it. We got it back, they're like, "No dog anuses on Adult Swim."
>>150256465>I never really have understood the whole concept of the guy in charge decidingFanboys running the asylum, see Infinite Crisis for the peak of their hypocrisy
Meanwhile I'm wondering how the fuck did Danny Antonucci get such a good deal from CN
>>150251552Timon and Pumbaa are a meerkat and warthog pairingnot only are they found together in the wild, they even mimic each others' calls
>>150259981they aren't jungle animals stupid, meerkats live in dry burrows.
>>150251592The bone one hurts so much
>>150259482That note just makes the scene way funnier lol
>>150259482It's because it is an "imitative act" and they don't want to be sued.Standards and Practices is just a legal department. They're not moral police.
>>150259568>nick at nite were somehow more lax in this area
>>150257404Stfu fag
>Baby boomers may well recall the semi-infamous Sing Along With Mitch, which aired on NBC from 1961-64 and featured sing-along musical performances conducted by Columbia Records pop division head Mitch Miller, and whose accompanying records are notorious for being found in thrift store bins in huge stacks. The show did well in the ratings but was cancelled after just three seasons because its audience was mostly over the age of 40 and did not capture the desired young adult audience.
>>150260152Network censors have always been retarded as fuck and their rules can change every other week.
There are shows like Owl House that had the plug pulled because they didn't get the desired child viewership.
>>150255770Shit up!
>>150260380Because they're not "rules", they're concerns that they might be sued.
>>150260380Bob Camp said they were idiots and always were.>one week you can say the word "butt">next week you can't>one week you can show a character smoking>the next week you can't>one week you can show a character's bare butt>next week you can'tAnd so forth.
>Fox executives almost stroked out because they thought Tony Dow would sue them for libel for suggesting he was gay
>>150260348>The show did well in the ratings but was cancelled after just three seasons because its audience was mostly over the age of 40 andmy mother said she was sure the audience for this show was over the age 70
>>150260434Hearkens back to what >>150256859 said about advertisers. If a show that had paid advertising space for girls ages 8-11 only attracts adults age 20+ then it's a failure to attract the core target demo and they have to make a change or drop it.
When they force a character nobody likes. Elmyra.
>>150260434Owl House got the plug pulled because the showrunners lied to Disney executives about it being episodic instead of plot driven.
>>150255042Jake Long was forced to talk like a rapper all the time per executive request when originally it was only meant to be a gag when he was nervous or trying to hype himself up
Blame this one on both executives AND feminist cunts who were full of themselves to make this happen.
>>150262243So by "women" they meant troons, right?
>>150253388So? It doesn't outweigh all the bad he did, including ruining Beast Wars.
>>150251487Jeffrey Katzenberg’s desire to see “Winnie the Pooh in the hood”, hanging out with two kids named “Flip” and “Rinky-dink.”
>>150263137I think he’s referring them as soccer moms
>>150251635Good, all those shows are garbage
>>150259568Thus began a years long dog anus crusade culminating in a feature length film. If only those executives could have known the long term impact their decision would have.
P&F songs
>>150251487>sabotaged Johnny Bravo because he personally didn't like Kirk Tingblad and his crew, despite it doing really wellGood. Tingblad didn't understand Johnny Bravo.
If someone has it, please post the comic about them cancelling GLtAS, it always infuriates me. Also the last episode of Batman BatB was definitely about exec meddling.
>>150264701Tingblad made the only good episodes of JB
>>150264125Those are kino
>>150251487Look at how they massacred my girl.
>>150253869>The one that comes to mind at the moment was when they canceled Young Justice because too many girls liked it and some corpofuck didn't want to make toys for girls.This didn't happen. What happened was someone asked Dini (who did not work on Young Justice about it) and he tangented into why he believed his own show (Tower Prep, a live action series) had been cancelled. This was then spun around into Dini (again, not invovled with YJ) saying it was cancelled because too many girls watched it. That wasn't true, YJ's audiencew as almost entirely male.What killed it was a combination of three things: cost, ratings and toys. The Green Lantern movie flopped so Mattel decided to cancel their DC toy lines. No toys meant no additional money coming in which isn't good for a show that was expensive to produce. On top of that, the ratings weren't really any better than shit that was way cheaper. So the show was a money pit and the ratings weren't there to justify keeping it around and so it got axed.
>>150265396Post the model sheets.
Voltron Legendary Defenders showrunners hated that Dreamworks and WEP excs told them to keep Shiro alive.Their original plan was killing him and having Keith becoming the actual mc but they told the "no that's stupid" beacuse he became a fan favorite for toy sales only for wave 1 to flop in merchandise.
>>150251552Oh the irony, considering the Timon and Pumbaa TV show got the shaft alongside it's fellow Saturday morning toons not just because of the competition eating up CBS' Saturday Morning ratings and Disney acquiring their competitor ABC, but because of the executives of the FCC. To be fair, CBS also attempted a similar block to compete with TNBC and pretty much the budget of some shows were cut, leading to Garfield and Friends not only getting shitcanned, but did an entire US Acres segment mocking said budget cuts.
>>150251552Maxwell Atoms mentioned that Lazzo was always jealous of Disney Channel's sucess in the 2000s with their live action sitcoms and movies so maybe
>>150263538It's about comics you fag
>>150266262See the issue is that the TV series wasnt exactly making a return investment the way the movie did since Lion King being a huge financial success was an accident. That budget went into pocohontas which was a mild be it mid micro success compared to how much of a merchandising gold mine Lion King was. And on top of that, what is the point of a Lion King spin off with almost none of their original cast from the Lion King. I get Timone and Pumba are on all the merchandising but like they arent the face of the brand.
>>150266156Shiro's arc peaked when it was revealed the Galra were so desperate to reclaim from all their massive failures during the war they reached a point where after Zarkon was finally killed they were out of ideas and thought "fuck it put a clone of Shiro in one of the Lions so his Galra psyop programming would bring it to us. Its time to see if Lotor really is as smart as his father."
>>150261395>Sir Jake has literally one black best friend and he's fucking chinese with chinese heirtage. The chinese dont even fucking like rap>He lives in an urban part of town right?>That is not the point.
>>150260594See here is the issue with this, Ren and Stimpy is marketed to children and the problem is while there are smoking laws that forbid children from smoking especially long after those ep's were aired since lung cancer awareness was becoming more common they were feeling how on a subconscious level a child might want a cigarette or imitate wanting to smoke one. Also, cigarette companies and their contracts on what is and isnt their product are total fucking bullshit get royalty checks for every depiction of a cigarette on TV even if that cigarette isnt directly referenced as their brand. See that famous Flintstones cigarette commercial was different because cigarettes were marketed to everyone. There was no shame back then for a 13 year old to buy a cigarette from the 1 cent machines. Even Anti Smoking ads they get royalty checks from those as well.
>>150255770>>150260466and also the fact that Nick didn't even bother to release Angry Beavers commercially on VHS during its initial run unlike Hey Arnold nor CatDog, despite having good ratings
>>150258730>a Franny cartoon.you mean THIS Franny?

>>150268000no I'm gonna keep fighting because I'm getting horny from this faggot
>>150263364>No. Women who flat out HATED cartoons. And one of them was an abuse victim of John K. Who even started a witch hunt making people think the reboot would make him relevant again. Except nickelodeon stated John k was nowhere near it, and everything went silent when she somehow got on board as a producer. Doesn't that strike you odd?
>>150251487>couldn't understand I Am Weasel because weasels and baboons didn’t interact in the wildIt's a fucking joke on the nursery rhyme Pop Goes The Weasel. Hell, they literally set the show's own theme song to it. It doesn't get much more clear than that.
>>150258730Around 15:30https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS6esBvNCkk
>>150251487Someone needs to come up with a book or documentary about all the behind-the-scenes drama about Johnny Bravo.
Postan to keep this thread alive:https://youtube.com/watch?v=PpsWirQt6AMRegular Show's 2nd halloween special had its original ending re-done because S&P thought it was too dark. Later halloween episodes also made it so that even the stories within the episodes couldn't end on a bad note, they all had to make it out alive.In general CN has gotten way over-protective since the 2000s and early 2010's, that ben 10 reboot couldn't even show Ben's grandpa drinking coffee and they changed stinkfly because kids in focus groups thought his original design was too scary.
>>150256576Stuperduperjail was just 8 minutes of gore porn, who the fuck cares?
>>150262243Why do they keep hiring people who hate the source material for reboots? This is the 3rd time its happened to a 90s show
