Colbert wasn't very famous when he first did the Venture Bros (or Harvey Birdman). But allegedly when they wanted him back he had gotten famous and his agent told the show "No" even though he was willing to keep doing the voice. He came back to voice Prof. Impossible again in the 6th season. He has also done other voice work over the years, before and after Colbert Report took off, including American Dad, Simpsons, and Rick and Morty.

Based on the reviews it seems like it really hates every Scooby Doo character that isn't Velma. I'm not sure why anybody would be interested in a really mean-spirited takedown of the Scooby-Doo franchise, but which also refuses to have the character the franchise is named after in it. Also for how progressive it tries to present itself as, it has a line like this in it ""she was the rare slut that did not deserve to be murdered."

I remember from the look of the trailer that it seemed like it wanted to lean more into the horror genre, with apparently an emphasis on slasher movies, which is actually really far from anything that the entire Scooby Doo franchise was about. Monster movies might have some kind of relation, but Scooby Doo is rarely supposed to be scary to the audience, and definitely not supposed to about murders. Some kind of pseudo-self-aware murder comedy does sound like the sort of thing that a lot of crass adult animation aspires to, so maybe it was an unrelated idea that somebody just decided to grab the Scooby IP to slam it into to get more viewers, and then preemptively pissing all over the franchise was some kind of defensive measure to avoid criticism.

i'm honestly surprised it got that one extra season, after every other in-house project got killed. it must have just done that well enough based on netflix's obfuscated analytics but i mean, that said, it was a second episode order, and we know what happens to Netflix shows after their second episode order. it's not even a joke at this point because they just do it so often

I assume that we'll hear Alex Hersch yelling about this at some point. He does not like being yanked around by networks.Fezz posted:Tax write downs of IP should become property of the US government and available free of charge on some IRS website.. I think we still don't really know what if any excuse Zaslav has for ditching all this content, people are just guessing that it's some tax thing. Some of them there's been theories that he's been dodging royalties, but there's definitely no royalties on old Looney Tunes.

There's no evidence of it being profitable, and by accounts the stockholders are very upset as well.

Aaand it's now confirmed from the show's creator. https://twitter.com/shhhhhionn/status/1612257517165514753 Cancelled my sub. Might as well I hardly watch anything on it. Legit bummed about this one. It was the only show that I felt gave off a Futurama vibe in a good way.

I know this is some dumbass late-stage capitalism bullshit, but why don't companies like Netflix just do a Kickstarter-esque campaign stating "Hey, we are cancelling this show, but if you donate this amount of money then it gets another season!" Seems like a cheap and easy way for these assholes not to reach into their pockets to renew a show.
