Well Northbros, it's official...

Our favourite cartoon is ending after 5 seasons and 97 episodes.

>>150326578 (OP)
Good, another shitty adult cartoon with shitty Family Guy-like animation bites the dust.

>>150326578 (OP)
>97 episodes
Dang, 1 episode less than Tiny Toon Adventures.

>>150326578 (OP)
I honestly cannot figure out how it made it to 5 seasons.

This is a literal show about nothing.

>>150326578 (OP)
awman..

>>150326578 (OP)
>we have Bobs Burgers at home
Good riddance.

>>150326788
97 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

>>150326578 (OP)
The 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.

>>150326578 (OP)
Who tf names their kid BEEF?

>>150326578 (OP)
And nothing of value was lost.

>>150329226
A shame she wasn't enough to keep me watching past early Season 2. Great North was just that boring

>>150326578 (OP)
Sad!

>>150326578 (OP)
>show set in ALASKA
>is boring
How is this even possible?

>>150326578 (OP)
What a waste of Ron Swanson...

>>150326578 (OP)
I watched a few episodes. It felt like Bob's Burgers without the conflict or interesting situations.

>>150333542
they hardly do anything with the setting
its 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.

>>150326578 (OP)
I love the show. Maybe it's more for chicks.

>>150326578 (OP)
Who the hell watched this for 5 years?

Who the hell watched this?? Canadians?

>>150337480
Not enough people to get it renewed alongside its FOX Animation contemporaries

Should'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.

>>150326578 (OP)
Does this mean Duncanville is coming back?

>>150338623
Hulu is a good contender. They saved Futurama and brought back King of the Hill, so The Great North is in play.

>>150338909
Why 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.

>>150338654
if ONLY

>>150326578 (OP)
>it's official
It is? And we are only missing 2 episodes? Damn...

>>150326578 (OP)
This show was close to hit 100 episodes.

>>150338654
Maybe someday it will come back.

>>150326655
Dude, 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.

>>150339923
I think Solar Opposites is just ending, not cancelled.

>>150338544

Explain Universal Basic Guys getting 3 seasons (yeah it's true)

>>150343757
UBG is Fox-exclusive, not owned by Disney. Fox needs every original program they can get.

>>150343795
Even if nobody watches them?

>>150326578 (OP)
He 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.

>>150343901
Well, no, because they dumped HouseBroken pretty quickly. Maybe UBG is really cheap to make.

>>150345983
Outside of writing, music, and post-production, UBG is produced overseas in Australia. It's definitely on the cheaper end of TV cartoons.

5 seasons and 96 episodes more than it deserved.

>>150348273
That's just the thing, though.

We DIDN'T watch it. No one understands how it got to five freaking seasons.

>>150348343
This needs an update

I love stuck culture!!

>>150348343
>>150349752
What is their endgame? I'm still delusional and hoping Bob's Burgers bows out with Season 20, but who even knows anymore...

>>150326578 (OP)
Still 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.

>>150334750
That's saying something, since Bob's Burgers has been equally toothless since season 5.

>>150348273
garbage, just... garbage

>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

>>150353391
The 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.

>>150352986
Will Forte was the only thing that kept me watching, but Wolf never quite reached the level of crazy he's best at portraying.

>>150356095
What 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.

>>150356869
I'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
>>150357330
There'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.

>>150353195
I liked this show, I wish more people had our opinions, cause we some fanart of these people.

>>150343757
Should have been Great North

>>150357906
You 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

>>150361113
As 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.

>>150353195
I agree with your question. There are too many black/gay people.

>>150357330
>>150356869
>>150357906
Also 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

>>150354485
Do 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.

>>150376709

She was the only reason I watched this sack of crap cartoon. Well, her and Bethany Bones but Bethany felt like an extremely underutilized character.

> "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
>>150336746
this 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

>>150326578 (OP)
I'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.

>>150326578 (OP)
IT 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.

>>150326578 (OP)
Imagine 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?

>>150326578 (OP)
Did this ever have a crossover with Bob’s Burgers?

>>150380962
>spin off

This was about as much of a spin off to Bob's Burgers as Parks and Rec was to The Office

>>150381007
Central Park at least was trying something different with its musical format. I wouldn't have been against getting more of that show

>>150381749

No wonder why it got canceled, this would fared better on Hulu

>>150377618
>every other line of hers being sexual
Why does /co/ like saying Bob's Burgers has become "a kid's show"? You still have characters drinking and swearing super casually. The show has toned itself down since those first two seasons, but it's every much an adult cartoon as the rest of the block

>>150382532
is he? it took 20+ years to get a simpsonsorama, and fg and ad still havent had a real crossover

>>150381037
Nope. Not even any easter eggs as far as I'm aware. It's especially disappointing since all three shows are under 20th Television, so it's not like "legal issues" can come as an excuse.

I don't care about crossovers or whatever, but Central Park throwing a nod to its sister shows would've been nice. Personally I would've thrown in Tina's outfit during this sequence as an easy one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohrQdsrUg1Y

30 minutes remain

This show's humor really is on the same level as Family Circus

>it's a moon episode

Does anyone like this kid? He annoys the fuck out of me. He's like the show's Lisa Simpson.

Ok I'm pretty sure this ending soldifies that the show is indeed cancelled.

>>150389338
Did everyone die?

>>150389355
The ending montage treated it like the whole family died

>And the rest of the meats are spread evenly around town.
>Awww, now I miss Mom...
okay that was good

is a shame, starting from Season 3 it had more early seasons of Bob's Burgers.
I guess I have to do a lot of Judy Tobin porn so people start watching it

>>150391794
Yes and don't forget Bethany Bones >>150376766

It's for the best. Moon sucks, Aunt Dirt sucks. The latter was getting a focus every other episode.
Lots of really generic "woke" writing but it's a cozy watch. I'd rather this continue than The Simpsons.

>>150392255
Aunt Dirt felt like a last ditch effort character if that makes sense. The kind of character that usually gets added to a sitcom that's on its last legs.

>>150392657
My issue with Dirt is that she shows up and suddenly all of Lone Moose is jampacked with single senior age lesbians.

I don't remember a single time she fails in her pursuit of one-night stands due to "Sorry, I don't lean that way".

>>150389338
Spoiler away, anon

>>150392255
>Moon sucks
I think Moon is mostly hit or miss.
I like the episodes where he fails, rather than those where he is portrayed as wise-beyond-his-age

>>150392255
>Lots of really generic "woke" writing
Elaborate? I didn't feel it turning woke until the crazy aunt showed up, before that, the gay son was pretty tame which I actually enjoyed.

>>150392696
The mayor and the rest of the town show up at the Tobin house to give Beef food related gifts for his efforts and then everyone is invited inside as Judy plays the pan flute. This leads to the episode ending on a montage of previous episodes, but with Alanis around, implying that Alanis was always there.

If all of that, plus the episode being a parody of A Wonderful Life, doesn't solidify the episode as the series finale, I don't know what does.

>>150392684
>>150392713
Dirt has a very punchable face. I don't know what it is.

>>150392720
Sounds... bland, which goes along the series overall. Thanks, anon.

One last question, is Beef still with the crazy hippie chick from the photo store?

It was a good run

What a time to be alive

Every fucking time I tried to tune in after season 1 to a new episode it was them all sitting around doing "What if?" scenarios which are the worst bob's burgers episodes and were even worse here. I don't even know how common they are in the show because I'd just stop watching for a stretch, then when I'd try a new episode it'd be one of those absolute ass anthologies.
I wonder if that contributed to losing viewership

I don't keep up. Did they ever show the mom and why she was such a trainwreck?

>>150394571
It's impressive how these Bouchard cartoons all struggle to make anthology episodes entertaining. Simpsons could at least do that well into its teen seasons. Also Family Guy occasionally.

>>150326655
Special Ed ripoff

This finale just made me hungry for moose.

This show hit a sweet spot of feeling sincere and earnest. I actually liked it for being milquetoast. I wish Nick Offerman was my dad. I'm a mid-westerner in an isolated town, so maybe a lot of the stupid little details while not 1:1 resonated with me. Or maybe it's that I romanticize Alaska since isolation and snow appeal to me. The characters felt wholesome in a dorky kind of way. Watching this morning when they did the it's a pretty ok life deal and the end credits I felt instinctively that the show was up for cancellation. It wasn't a 'laugh a minute' tight writing but it made me smile and for me, that's enough. Now to feel sad reading all the comments that boil down to: this show is boring and not as funny as edgier more topical shows that have been going for longer than some posters on this board have been alive. Thanks for the smiles Bouchard. I like this a little more than modern Bob's Burgers

>Paige draws very vorey scenes of herself getting eaten and canonically draws smut of herself and her crush/boyfriend
>Judy imagines huge tits on her script to memorize her lines, fantasizes about musclewomen, and gets wet at the thought of having a boy harem
>Everything about Tina

I think these three would get along. Form a kinky artist's collective.

>>150395447
You are not alone, anon.
I also like the show, even if it is milquetoast.
>The characters felt wholesome in a dorky kind of way
Honestly, this is what I liked the most about the show, the family, outside the occasional one-episode conflict, did look like they get along, which was very comfy for me.

My ideal finale would have been Wolf and Honeybee having a baby, but alas.

>>150395447
I liked it more than modern BB because it's willing to let characters be flawed and horny. It feels like all the horny energy of early BB went right into TGN, and they allow characters to act unethically a little bit and get away with it, like when Judy cheats to help Ham finish his homework, and in return, Ham cheats to win her the award she wants. BB wouldn't do that, but it still ended up being a cute family moment.

>>150350302
I'm not looking forward to American Dad going back to FCC and Fox S&P. Hopefully the writers can cope well with it and don't use the new episodes to whine that they can't say shit anymore etc. (even though I will whine about it).

>>150381749
This show and Big Mouth us the reason why the VA industry is so fucked

>>150395842

>>150395842
>>150395873
Thanks guys, that feels a little better. I knew it was never a ratings juggernaut and someday this would happen. Kinda just wish the ride had lasted a little longer. Now to pirate all 5 seasons for my plex server so even if they never make more, I'll never forget.

>>150397597
We're people who actually watched this show, and we're voicing our opinion.

>>150392788
I am really curious if there's more drama than I'm seeing reported about because it is strange to have this couple teased consistently over the seasons and then in the last season she has a different voice than Offerman's IRL wife that has always voiced her.

>>150397597
Nah bro, I'm like your mom. I do it for freeeee

>>150395792
Paige is the milf. Molly was the daughter's name. The show is just that forgettable...

It really is interesting this show had no impact I’ve seen. One season shows like Mission Hill and Clerks are still talked about fondly but I haven’t seen a single meme or clip from any of the 97 episodes in this show

>>150397934
Maybe it's just me but it always felt like they had no idea what they were gonna do with Beef's love life and just BSing it.

>>150398382
Yeah I think BSing it is a good way of putting it. He's the town bachelor in one episode and then in another he's spilling his spaghetti with photo store lady.
>>150398318
It has no identity. It's lower stakes Bob's Burgers filled with the same amount of fart, butt, and pun jokes you'd see in an episode of that but in Alaska. I'd say I was enjoying Great North more than current BB but yeah, they gave no incentive to watch this. At least you can tell Family Guy and American Dad are wildly different shows by looking at two pictures.

>>150398102
Oh yeeeeeah.

Central Park started off with a lot of promise, but just ran out of steam in season 2. They wanted to have their cake and eat it too in regards to having a show with an ongoing plot (since those shows always do better on streaming, where binging is the norm) AND have a sitcom that can run for twenty seasons.

The result is something that starts out strong but peters out because the story isn't allowed to evolve. The maid lady should have figured out by season 2 that she's not in the will and either make plans to bump Bitsy off, or quit and do something else. Bitsy should have either succeeded in her plot, or have her criminal empire crumble by mid season 2. Or at least get the feds involved.

It wanted everything and as a result ended at season 3.

>>150395792
>>150397202
Oh yeah Molly totally has a vore kink, even if she doesn't know it yet. This is like that meme of "You can always find a furry artist by the amount of detail".

>>150398318
Wolf and Honeybee are the cutest depiction of newlyweds I've ever seen. I love that they just have fun in life together.

Also I wished /co/ discussed it more because the episode where Judy and Honeybee almost drink drugged "milk" and are kidnapped into some lactation fetish guy's cult deserves more attention, it has POTENTIAL.

>my name is ribert

I don't know what you call this kind of humor or joke but this shit plus the constant overreliance on pop culture references really drove me over the edge.

There was one episode that I kept seeing commercials for because they couldn't shut up about the fact that Timothy Olyphant was a special guest star.


...is Timothy Olyphant even that popular to be bragging about?

>>150399642
Go to bed Timothy.

>>150399642
>...is Timothy Olyphant even that popular to be bragging about?
I'm not really that big on the TV shows he was on (and I've never watched them), but I guess people like him as an actor.
