It was one of my favorite series growing up.

Huh, apparently, Patrick from, SpongeBob squarepants is getting his own spinoff series: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/spongebob-squarepants-spinoff-the-patrick-star-show-in-the-works-nickelodeon-1234730755/amp/&ved=0ahUKEwie8qTGuqLrAhWUa8AKHZKaC6QQyM8BCDYwAg&usg=AOvVaw26og-gAh5lvU-0VnRuaeMs&ampcf=1

After 20+ years? Feels like it’s a little late for that doesn’t it?

[Anyponedrawn]

Oh no.  This sounds like a horrible idea.  You never take a side character and make a series out of them.  Especially one you can only tolerate for small spurts. 

Nick has been on a downward trend for awhile though, so I sort of expect bad decisions like this from them.

[MasterXtreme]

I hadn't hear or read that yet, but boy by golly, that sounds atrocious.  Something Mr. Hillenburg would probably never have allowed, but since he is gone, Nick will wring this series out till there is nothing left unfortunately. 

It was similar how Nick made a jimmy Neutron spinoff with Sheen... and boy... wasn't that a disaster.  In small doses he can be fine, but when he is the main star... wow. Bad.

[Depressed edge lord]

Eh, I hear the show has gotten better, so I think it could be good.

[Anyponedrawn]

I highly doubt it will be good.

Have they learned nothing from The Ropers....Grady...Plucky Duck...Cleveland Brown? How many more ill-conceived spin-offs must litter the vast TV wasteland before entertainment execs learn their lesson?  I've said it before; I'll say it again: Mad Max is right--more available channels =/= a smaller turd ratio when it comes to what to watch.

You can see the writing on the wall.  It's going to be absolutely terrible and fade off within a season or two.  They will be hung-ho, order a ton of episodes right away then quickly pull back.

Rule of thumb.  Never make the comic relief side character the main star of a show. 

This will be awful.

There is also another Spongebob spinoff that was supposed to premier in July 2020, but never did.  It's outcome is unknown at this point.  It is being made in CGI....

Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years

The CG-animated prequel series will bring back the original series' cast of voice actors, including Tom Kenny (SpongeBob), Bill Fagerbakke (Patrick), Rodger Bumpass (Squidward), Clancy Brown (Mr. Krabs), Carolyn Lawrence (Sandy),Mr. Lawrence (Plankton), Mary Jo Catlett (Mrs. Puff), Jill Talley (Karen) and Lori Alan (Pearl). Carlos Alazraqui and Kate Higgins will also voice new characters for the show.

Nickelodeon Orders Season 2 of 'It's Pony'

Article

ViacomCBS' Nickelodeon has ordered a 20-episode second season of animated hit series It’s Pony.

The show follows the comedic adventures of Annie and her best friend, who just so happens to be an enthusiastic, impulsive, and carefree pony. Season 2 will premiere in the U.S. in early 2021, shortly followed by a rollout across Nickelodeon’s international markets.

It's Pony is currently one of the top three animated series with kids 2-11 across all TV, only behind Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants and The Loud House, according to the network. The premiere of the series in January was Nickelodeon’s highest-rated animation launch with kids 2-11 since 2018. Created by Ant Blades, the show is inspired by a short from Nickelodeon's 2015 International Animated Shorts Program.

"The overwhelming reaction to the first season of It's Pony has been phenomenal, and fans have been champing at the bit for a second season," said Nina Hahn, senior vp of development and production at Nickelodeon. "We are thrilled to green light season 2 of a show where no matter what happens, everything’s always better when Annie and Pony are together."

In season two, Annie and Pony take their city by storm. "Whether they are crashing a comic convention or battling a swarm of revenge-seeking flies, Annie and Pony’s adventures test the limits of their friendship like never before," according to a plot description....

^ Which makes me more curious about that show.  I've never really watched it.

[MasterXtreme]

The positive with Nick re-ordered "It's Pony" is that is shows they haven't given up on animation yet.  They didn't make the show pure filler it seems.

Let's spice things up with some John Kricfalusi.

I bring this up because reportedly Ran and Stimpy may be coming to Comedy Central?  But it is unknown if John K. is leading it or not.

He has a blog here...

I highly doubt they would hire a child-predator and true-to-life jerk such as him to lead the new series, especially in the day and age of #MeToo.  He's a sexual predator and hasn't had his time yet for his actions.  He blames everyone else for his problems, has a superiority complex, and is really a horrible man.
