Well Northbros, it's official... Our favourite cartoon is ending after 5 seasons and 97 episodes.
>>150326578Good, another shitty adult cartoon with shitty Family Guy-like animation bites the dust.
>>150326578>97 episodesDang, 1 episode less than Tiny Toon Adventures.
>>150326578I honestly cannot figure out how it made it to 5 seasons. This is a literal show about nothing.
>>150326578awman..
>>150326578>we have Bobs Burgers at home Good riddance.
>>15032678897 episodes is a lot of episodes of a mediocre show. Despite being 97 episodes long, I hardly remember anything. No episodes that feel very iconic and something that I want to rewatch. I don't even really bother watching the show. I just use my computer and listen to the show.
I wanted to fuck the black girl
>>150326578The only way this show kept running was people like me who only left it on waiting for Bob's Burgers or something to come on after it. It looks like it made almost enough for rerun syndication.
>>150326578Who tf names their kid BEEF?
>>150326578And nothing of value was lost.
>>150329226A shame she wasn't enough to keep me watching past early Season 2. Great North was just that boring
>>150326578Sad!
>>150326578>show set in ALASKA >is boring How is this even possible?
>>150326578What a waste of Ron Swanson...
>>150326578I watched a few episodes. It felt like Bob's Burgers without the conflict or interesting situations.
>>150333542they hardly do anything with the settingits setting is pretty much only used to make it more distinct from other shows but all the characters pretty much talk like and act like media obsessed Californians
I couldn't even get past 1 season. This show was like the worst parts of an already declined Bob's Burgers amplified. Just talk talk talk to constantly fill air.
>>150326578I love the show. Maybe it's more for chicks.
>>150326578Who the hell watched this for 5 years?
Who the hell watched this?? Canadians?
>>150337480Not enough people to get it renewed alongside its FOX Animation contemporaries https://deadline.com/2025/04/the-simpsons-family-guy-bobs-burgers-american-dad-renewed-1236356360/ https://deadline.com/2025/05/grimsburg-krapopolis-universal-basic-guys-renewed-fox-1236392510/
>>150326578Should've been cancelled after the pilot.Just watch, another network or streaming service will pick this rancid turd up before it even gets cold just like with Brooklyn-Nine Nine.
>>150326578Does this mean Duncanville is coming back?
>>150338623Hulu is a good contender. They saved Futurama and brought back King of the Hill, so The Great North is in play.
>>150338909Why would Hulu have any need for it? They're already set with all their big hitters, from Simpsons to Family Guy/Futurama/American Dad to Bob's Burgers, and now King of the Hill. I wouldn't be surprised if that packed lineup is part of the reason they had no trouble cancelling Solar Opposites. If that show was affected, then Great North was always sure to be a goner.
>>150338654if ONLY
>>150326578>it's officialIt is? And we are only missing 2 episodes? Damn...
>>150326578This show was close to hit 100 episodes.>>150338654Maybe someday it will come back.
>>150326655Dude, imagine spamming an image from a webshow that's been jumping the shark for nearly a decade. I wouldn't be surprised if the SML crew actually browse here and Jeffyfag is literally Jeffy himself, hence the spam within the last 2 months.
>>150339923I think Solar Opposites is just ending, not cancelled.
>>150338544Explain Universal Basic Guys getting 3 seasons (yeah it's true)
>>150343757UBG is Fox-exclusive, not owned by Disney. Fox needs every original program they can get.
>>150343795Even if nobody watches them?
>>150326578He got nice boots
>>150343752>THE FINAL SEASON (For Now) I still believe this was a decision made out of their control. Hulu might've told the crew in advance, leading them to introduce that one surprise Shlorpion as the "final boss" to set the stage for an ending they had to compromise on.
>>150343901Well, no, because they dumped HouseBroken pretty quickly. Maybe UBG is really cheap to make.
>>150345983Outside of writing, music, and post-production, UBG is produced overseas in Australia. It's definitely on the cheaper end of TV cartoons.
>>150326655Based as always
>>150338654>>150340755
>>150340755cute feet
>>150326578You "people" watch this garbage and wonder why anime is winning in every metrichttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GK2IC8djsqc
>>1503265785 seasons and 96 episodes more than it deserved.
>>150348273That's just the thing, though. We DIDN'T watch it. No one understands how it got to five freaking seasons.
>>150348343This needs an update
>>150348343>>150349132>even King of the Hill's episode count needs an update now I love stuck culture!!
>>150348343>>150349752What is their endgame? I'm still delusional and hoping Bob's Burgers bows out with Season 20, but who even knows anymore...
>>150326578Still 5 seasons and 97 episodes to late. There are shows that lived and died, or never got past the pilot while this shit kept getting renewed.>>150334750That's saying something, since Bob's Burgers has been equally toothless since season 5.
>>150348273garbage, just... garbage
>>150331911Good lord
>>150352598Wolf won.
>>150326578>>150328644>Bob's Burgers but slightly nerdier and nicer because it's not built around Louise's "wacky" (toxic) narcissistic bullshit.I enjoyed it, glad it had it's run and didn't wear out its welcome. I'm surprised that tradfriends didn't jump on it since it's essentially an edgy adult comedy built for people who can't handle anything less wholesome than a boob joke. Too many black/gay people?
I've caught a few episodes here and there and every time I did, I wondered, "how the hell did this milquetoast nothingburger of a show get greenlit"If shows were food, The Great North would be a packet of stale, unsalted crackers
>>150353391The suits who picked up the series are probably the same who thought a Bob's Burgers movie would do well in theaters past 2015. But their biggest mistake was thinking Bob's amassed a following BECAUSE of its art style rather than DESPITE its art style.
>>150352986Will Forte was the only thing that kept me watching, but Wolf never quite reached the level of crazy he's best at portraying.
>>150356095What are some good Forte roles where he gets to dig into that 'level of crazy'? I'm only familiar with Clone High and Last Man on Earth.
>>150356869I'm in the same boat of not knowing many of his roles, but he played Stuart Proszakian in "Sit Down, Shut Up." (the animated version specifically, there's also a live action Australian version too but it's not anywhere near as good, and hard to find) It's been a while since I watched Clone High but the characters are "somewhat" similar, though Stuart is a lot crazier. I'll have to check out Last Man on Earth.
>>150356869>>150357330There's also Alien News Desk where Forte has the main role alongside with Heidi Gardner. It's only 12 episodes but despite being right now outdated the show can be hilarious.
>>150343757>Universal Basic Guys getting 3 seasons (yeah it's true)Holy fuck it IS true. I could understand them renewing it for season 2 before the first season had even started airing, like maybe they were confident about it being a surprise smash hit or something, but a third season before the second season begins airing? Fox are either insane or the show really is extremely cheap to make to the point where they're not really losing much by renewing it.Either way Mark Men win.
This is the first time I read about this show even existing.
>>150353195I liked this show, I wish more people had our opinions, cause we some fanart of these people.
>>150343757Should have been Great North
>>150357906You know what's funny? I've only ever seen the female anchor spammed on this board all this time. Didn't even know what the male anchor looked like, nor that he was voiced by Forte. Waifuism is a disease
>>150361113As a Tuva fan of myself, I also see that Drexx isn't as much popular as Tuva by the people, but I'm the only person that somehow like him.
>>150352986
I'll miss her.
>>150326578>>150327879>AlaskaOh with the Siberians (Asians)?
>>150361796what a view
>>150359249And it'll be the last.
>>150353195I agree with your question. There are too many black/gay people.
>>150357330>>150356869>>150357906Also Moonbeam City where he played not quite an antagonist, but a main cast member who antagonised the lead. Think… gosh, I don't think this kind of character is very common anymore. Pam from Martin, Newman from Seinfeld (even though he's not main cast), Myrtle from Lilo and Stitch (also not quite main cast), Red Herring from Pup Named Scooby Doo etc etc etc
>>150354485Do we know what Minty Lewis contributed to the show exactly? Because they went with an exact copy of the Bob's Burgers art style, I always forget Lewis is co-creator and just assume it's ALL Molyneux.
>>150361806me too
>>150354485>these two somehow were approached to write Deadpool 3 HOW??
>>150339923>animayhem Is this basically the new Animation Domination?
>>150370474
test
>>150373939ur good bruh
>>150361806Wish she got more art.I think the only artist who ever drew anything with her was nef, and he posts once every 5 years.
>>150376709>>150361806She was the only reason I watched this sack of crap cartoon. Well, her and Bethany Bones but Bethany felt like an extremely underutilized character.(not the artist)
>>150357330> "Sit Down, Shut Up." (the animated version specifically, there's also a live action Australian version too but it's not anywhere near as good, and hard to find)lol why they even bothered to get the rights for an obscure aussie show and make it a cartoon? Just change the name and call it an original idea.
>>150376831>Based on the Australian live-action sitcom of the same name, creator Mitchell Hurwitz came up with the idea for an animated version in 2000.[4] He wrote a script for a pilot episode, but "kept it in a drawer" until he pitched the show to different networks in 2008 when he needed money.[5] Hurwitz said that "it was just a wacky show, and nobody wanted it", but eventually Fox picked it up as a primetime animated series.[1]
>>150334750>>150336746this exactly. every once in a while (okay, more common these days) Bob's Burgers did one of those episodes where it's "Awwww... that was a sweet thing, the kids all got along. to do a noble thing. cute. Not really hilarious, but it was a good message and made me smile, at least."EVERY episode of The Great North was that.but they didn't "earn" those episodes by establishing characters. they went straight to the sweet aww-shucks good messages. and that's all they ever did.I wanted it to be funny, it just... wasn't
>>150338654american dad is coming back. I don't even know what other animations air on fox anymore besides the classics
>>150376844> He wrote a script in 2000> Sit Down, Shut Up is an Australian sitcom broadcast by Network Ten. It ran from 16 February 2001 until 28 June 2001Something doesn’t line up.
>>150348273most anime fans are autists and will watch literally anything as long as it was made in japan whether they like it or not.
>>150330983Beef'a parents were notoriously negligent druggies.
>>150369552The streaming equivalent.
>>150326578I'm honestly convinced an AI wrote this show. It was like someone took the dull, borderline irritating anti-humor of a Family Circus comic, added a bunch of random pop culture references and puns, and stretched it to 22 minutes.I'm fine with pop culture references when they're not being used as a crutch for writing but The Great North did that in spades. It's like they all came out of a coma and are catching up with the world. And most of the time they're referencing shit just to reference it. It doesn't even feel ham fisted. It feels like playing a bad version of Madlibs. Doesn't help that it sounds like all the VAs except for Jenny Slate and Will Forte are there against their will/needing a paycheck.
>>150326578IT ENDS TONIGHT
I liked it, myself. I thought it was cute. I’m actually gonna miss it, the show really endeared itself to me after awhile.
>>150379381I'm glad you were able to enjoy it somehow.
>>150377618Calvin knows what's up
>>150380622
>>150326578Imagine how many good shows could've gotten 5 seasons and instead FOX gives it to a fucking bob's burgers spin-off that nobody talks about.
As much as I love Bob's Burgers, and still kinda do. The world did not need more than one Bob's Burgers, how do these things last more than one season when there's practically zero demand for them?
>>150326578Did this ever have a crossover with Bob’s Burgers?
>>150380962>spin offThis was about as much of a spin off to Bob's Burgers as Parks and Rec was to The Office
>>150381007Central Park at least was trying something different with its musical format. I wouldn't have been against getting more of that show
>>150381749>AppleTV+No wonder why it got canceled, this would fared better on Hulu
>>150381037Bouchard is the only creator in the FOX Animation block that dosn't like crossovers
