Thread 149996082

Man, I love hags so fucking much. Why did Baby Blues (2002) fail? Was it because it was too generic?
You can actually watch the entre show on YouTube now, it's completely forgotten.

We should do something like a storytime but watching shows together. Like a weekly "let's watch"
Would that be allowed?

Fun fact: In the original comics there were multiple comics were she literally had her tit out to breast feed.

>>149996927
If you're not being intentionally dense, this used to be the normal way things operated here when a new show aired on TV
And now I am sad

>>149997098
Not even new things. I remember here and in some other chans people would host streams of random stuff like some crappy movie or My 600 Lb Life or whatever. It was fun to be in chat just talking and joking around with some booze. Much better than the level of conversation here.

>Why did Baby Blues (2002) fail?
They focused on being like Family Guy, but not enough. They even invented a crude next door couple.
Should have fo used on the McPersons with a 4 year old Zoe and a baby brother. Tiny babies don't work for sitcoms because they lack agency.

>>149997526
Their biggest mistake was probably being an adult cartoon on the WB Channel and thinking they'd get more than 1 season.

>>149997579
They were actually going to release a second season, it was finished but WB decided to cancel it. A coyote vs Acme situation.

Can somebody post the strip where she projectile lactates, please?

Erotic!

>>149997526
>Family Guy
It was almost nothing like Family Guy, if anything it was parodying off of actual classic sitcoms from the 80's and early 90's. Whereas FG was just mocking those sitcoms.

Stoner humor was(and still is) the big thing at the time. The Baby Blues cartoon appealed to people who drink wine from a wine glass on the couch at night. Basically too old fashioned for adult cartoons as it was taking a lot from classic adult sitcoms. Some adult and sex jokes thrown here or there but not ranchy enough to show or do anything. Still would pick it over something like Bob's Burgers any day of the week.

Also WB just didn't give 2 shits about their cartoons.

>>149997955
She's a Purdue graduate?
Does Baby Blues take place in Indiana?

>>149997776
And who do I email to get this 2nd season uploaded? I know it must be sitting forgotten on someone's desk somewhere.

>>149999811
I wish we could actually do that. I don't think a change.org petition would work either, like, how many people would even care about this?
We can only hope someone working there leaks it anonymously for some reason. The other option is to wait for Adult Swim to randomly release it (that's how we got the last 5 episodes from the first season)

They tried making an “adult comedy” out of a fluffy newspaper comic and it didn’t work. Basically every channel wanted their ‘Simpsons’ and for a while it didn’t seem like anything would stick around for a season or two due to bad ratings, but then Comedy Central struck gold with South Park and FOX struck again with Family Guy leading to, again, every channel trying to find their hit adult animated comedy. Baby Blues was another example among the endless tries. The show just oozes desperation. They even name drop South Park and talk about how funny it is. They gave Wanda the 7 year itch and Darrell is pathetic. This place throws around “humiliation ritual” a lot, but I don’t know how else to describe what Darrell is. This show is a mess and it’s interesting given the history behind it, but still pretty crap and has nothing to do with the comic.

>>149996082 (OP)
Maybe cause at the time the newspaper comic it was based on was more focused on the wacky antics of the kids and just family life in general. You had Zoey and Ham being older in that series.
The cartoon show as really just about the parents and Zoey was just a baby. So most likely didn't appeal to the comic fans.

How popular would you say Baby Blues was compared to other Sunday Funnies during its heyday? Getting a TV cartoon is a good sign, but MANY many other strips got the same treatment in the '80s and '90s

Threesome with Cathy and Wanda who are absolutely hungry for cock.
Cathy the AAAAAAAACK! Cathy...
Fat bitch.

>>149996082 (OP)
Odd, I saw a video from a Simpson youtuber on this show quite recently on my recommendations.

Is this related to you seeing it too or what?

It was a cartoon on The WB. Ask Mission Hill or The Oblongs how that goes.

I was looking for Wanda art and found this.
Is it weird or am I just paranoid for all the shit I've seen on the internet?

>>150002817
Doesn't even seem like they had much faith in the original source material since a huge percentage of every episode ends up being about the next door neighbors who don't seem to have even existed in the original comics.

People called Peter Griffin a rip off of Homer but this guy's design is way more of a rip-off. I mean just look at him. He even has a bratty little troublemaker son akin to Bart so there's a lot of that Simpsons "*Homer getting mad at Bart* WHY YOU LITTLE!..." dynamic between the two.

>>150003078
>>150003189
UPN at least gave Dilbert 2 seasons unlike any of the WB adult cartoons >>149997579
. Though Dilbert was WAY more popular at the time than Baby Blues. And at least it was doing something different besides the standard "cartoon about your average family" theme everyone was trying to imitate after the Simpsons.

Even Matt Groening knew not to just copy himself and make Futurama "the Simpsons but in the future" show.

>>149996082 (OP)
I just don't like how half of the characters are drawn in that boomer cartoonist style.

>>150003309

Welp.

He looks like Matt Groening homer character. How come he’s not in Homer Simpson fan art?

>>150002817
Sunday comic strips were read by very few people, like stamp collecting niche by the late 90's. The ones that did get a cartoon, 90% of the audience never knew they were based on something. And we're talking about the 90's here where everything had a cartoon so it was nothing to gasp at.

I was happy it got a cartoon as I was the soul few reading the comic strips long before then but somehow even I knew the comic wasn't that popular. It was competing with some heavy hitters. Wish I could remember what though. I know Peanuts and Garfield were running at one point and I remember both eventually being replaced at some point but that's all.

>>149997244
I remember the finale for Star vs. it came on three hours before the finale for Game of Thrones. Two of my favorite shows, murdered on the same night. Imagine the live watching.

It's surprisingly rare to find a good adult animated show that doesn't rely on shock humor or stoner humor. Most of the shows that try it (Baby Blues, Dilbert, Mission Hill) just hit a uncanny valley where they're too slow and unexciting to appeal to kids, but too tame to appeal to adults (especially compared to their edgier competitors). If your average normie accidentally caught an episode of Mission Hill or Baby Blues without knowing anything about either, they'd probably just assume it was a kid's show and turn it off, which is probably why so many shows that tried this failed miserably. It seems the only way to succeed with a less graphic adult cartoon is to either become a kid's show in everything but name (modern Bob's Burgers) or be carried by exceptionally good comedic writing (Home Movies, Dr Katz, King of the Hill).

>>149997579
If Adult Swim never got Family Guy, do you think they might’ve revived any of those shows?

>>150010766
Family Guy didn't come back from cancellation just because of [adult swim], it also got a ton of DVD sales which showed FOX there was still a huge market for it:
>The complete first and second seasons were released on DVD the same week the show premiered on Adult Swim, and the show became a cult phenomenon, selling 400,000 copies within one month.[98] Sales of the DVD set reached 2.2 million copies,[107] becoming the best-selling television DVD of 2003[108] and the second-highest-selling television DVD ever, behind the first season of Comedy Central's Chappelle's Show.

Plus FOX in general has a way better track record with their animated shows than the likes of WB and UPN did. "Animation Domination" is kind of an apt name for their Sunday cartoon block since it's like the other networks don't even try anymore.

Regarding the specific shows, the PJ's did get 3 seasons in total but 2 of them were on FOX before it switched to the WB. It was notable enough it at least got a cameo in the Simpsons. But with it's claymation style and having Eddie Murphy involved it had a high budget which gave it all the more reason to get cancelled.

>>150011119
>Sales of the DVD set reached 2.2 million copies
Damn, it was a big thing back in the day

>>150012505
and they still tried to kill it so some clown execs could take personal credit for whatever shows replaced it. fox became so notorious for this that they overcompensated and now they're too reluctant to kill bad shows which is why the simpsons is old enough to be president.

Don't let this thread die, I like it

Melinda what

>>149996082 (OP)
Aired a lot on Cartoon Network UK. The show was fine, I felt it was too tame to catch on during the same period where Family Guy and Futurama were coming out. The show has an entirely complete second season that was a tax writeoff and will never see the light of day. Isn't that sad? Oh well..

More importantly than all of that: the babysitter was hot, and also the birthday lady from episode 6 was hot. Lots of fappable girls sprinkled throughout, really.

Are there any memorable episodes or jokes from this show? I can only recall the characters and their voices

>>150020553

Used to read this in the Sunday comics as a kid. It was alright but mostly just reading comics because it's comics.

Now reading it as a parent it's crazy accurate. I guess that's how it's been around for decades.

The show was decent enough if unremarkable

there's a notable amount of her getting foot rubs, although I still don't see how that counts?
I assume it's not like a him and hers description where his likes are "Wanda, Wren, wife's feet" although that has way different tone

I gotta imagine one of the most painful things as a creator is to have your hard work stored away for no good reason. the feeling of "little old me?" when you approach them probably means a lot, who knows

not exactly royalty, but a big enough deal that there's already a built-in audience for it

I watched it back in the day when nothing else was on. It felt about 5 years out of date when it aired. I can't stand the theme song, and the Hollywood-studio opening sequence was weird and disconnected. For me it killed time until the shows I really wanted to watch came on. I liked Bizzy though and still read the comic strip in the paper. It's longevity is noted.

you read my mind, I feel like that was a case of the comic translating very well to the medium

The fact Guisewite was so closely involved + the full circle of the Peanuts animation team working on her Peanuts inspired cartoon helped a lot

I bet. considering he only illustrates the ideas the writer provides, he's not as likely to be overly protective. I could be wrong about that, not sure how it is from artist to artist
