I'm currently pitching a show to Nickelodeon, the show would centre around a character named Myrtle, an purple alien from a planet where aliens have no eyes but their antenas are a way to see thorough stuff on the planet (ala Wildmuff from Ben 10). One day a meteor strikes killing all the aliens but Myrtle who escapes and rides on the meteor which crashes onto earth. Myrtle wakes up finding herself in a wacky surreal world where anything can happen but still keeps it grounded in a sense (kinda like Courage The Cowardly Dog or early Regular Show), the world has super human kids that are a homage/parody to the Justice League/Avengers, a computer as Mayor, special crayons that can take you to anywhere you wish or make things come to life. Myrtle finds out that the antenas can only work on her home planet and finds it hard to to adapt to earth, vampire koala bears that try to suck Myrtle's soul for world domination and characters of all shapes and sizes such as buses and trains as drivers themselves (inspirations from Busy Buses and Thomas and Friends), a real mouse being used as an actual mouse to the computer, a book as teacher, fruits, vegetables, furniture and all sorts as characters. A supervillian (who's a homage to Mulan and Carmen Sandiego) finds Myrtle in the alley wanting to destroy her since she caught her in the act of villiany, but when she sees Myrtle being all innocent not wanting to get killed, it reminds her of her own childhood and hints on why she became evil, so she takes Myrtle in as somewhat of a daughter of her own.
>>
So the whole series is basically about Myrtle trying to overcome her blindness with her other senses and her new step mother who is trying to do less good with the help of Myrtle, whilst also in a wacky surreal world. The episodes can lend themselves to many creative plots ala Courage The Cowardly Dog, an episode can be a new surreal adventure, an episode can be a parody/satire of the superhero genre whilst still trying to do it's own thing, and episode can focus on the emotions/psychology of a character and what makes them tick, but still keep it lighthearted, an episode can be a parody of a nior movie or any other movie genere, there can be episoes than be a metaphor for trends and stuff (similar vein to South Park), there can be a villian of the week like episode but still be unique, and there are episodes that can start out mundane but have a surreal factor that comes in during act 2, basically slice of life gone wrong. The type of humor is more like early SpongeBob like humor (Seasons 1-3) but a little bit more meta.

Sounds interesting the whole courage angle could work

Little surprised at the whole blind thing kids would have a hard time relating to that so I can see that changing in the future if you actually get picked up
>>
Nice, can't wait
>>
>>92037866
I don't think this is going to fly if this is all you have. Do you even have designs for this stuff? Also, quick likening it to other shows, no one is going to like that. Or worse, they'll literally have no idea what you're talking about and they'll shoot it down based on that.

Also, remove any traces of death from it, and don't pitch it as both heartwarming and childish, but strange and surreal, no one is going to get what you're going for there. Too high concept, but I feel like it's also not thought out enough.
>>
Let's hope this is better than that generic waifubait show
>>
How do you intend to pitch it?
>>
I work for Nickelodeon. Your idea sucks and you should feel bad.
>>
>>92037878
>>92037866
They'll never pick it up if all you have is those 2 paragraphs and that one pic.
>>
>>92038691
What's wrong with the idea
>>
>>92038753
If the OP has common sense, he/she isn't going to post the entire pitch bible on an anonymous imageboard.

I do believe he already posted all he has.
Not that it matters anyways, the pitch isn't NDA'd until someone picks it up.
>>
>>92038906
>>92039089
Not to mention, once a show is picked up, the pitch will almost always change dramatically, anyway.
>>
>>92039089
>I do believe he already posted all he has.
What makes you believe that? They've made no indication of whether this is the full pitch or not.
>>
>>92037866
Do you have anything else to show?

This show will be Nickelodeon's true answer t Adventure Time without directly ripping off Adventure Time
>>
>>92040210
just because they make your cartoon doesnt mean they're going to air it
>>
>>92039249
Well there are some easy tells
-The fact that he has the one pic with one character and no bg, supporting chars, or even the same character doing anything interesting only him posing against a white background.
-The fact that the other characters are only vaguely explained and their relations barely introduced, and they don't even have names.
-The plot isn't really a plot but actually a bunch of ideas thrown in there with references to other shows.

If he actually had a bible, or had been at least involved in the making of it, which he being the creator he should have been, he would know these are a bunch of No-No's in a network pitch, and he would have something more concrete even if he doesn't actually post the pitch.
>>

Nickelodeon Animation Studios is a great place to be I don't understand why the network wouldn't air the show

Sadly, this isn't the first time this has come up. People on /co/ really do unironically think they're entitled to private information about unpitched shows.

This looks more of a pitch than what OP has, and it took all of 15 minutes.

Concept art for the asian girl named Tulip Amythest, a supervillian (who's a homage to Mulan and Carmen Sandiego). The show employs many different animation styles, much like Drawn Together. I'm wanting to refine her style in more of a Bruce Timm style
>>
>>92040887
Maybe it's kept vague on purpose. Considering this is the board where leaks are commonly posted, I wouldn't blame someone for being secretive with information.
>>
>>92041095
Are you mugdays or did you just literally take this from the deviantart page?
>>
I have an idea for a cartoon about three gay-acting 10 year old boys. They believe walking to the toilet is a waste of time, so they just pee their pants whenever they need to go.
>>
>>92041219
Ha ha what a delightful pitch, mind if I save it?
>>
>>92041196
Given that he has nothing that remotely looks like what OP posted, I'm gonna say he just lifted it.
>>
>>92041318
When a thread like this starts to rot, it's common for people to post their own random pitches.

Don't worry guys that's not me I'm currently drwing the characters right now

Thanks for the support.

Since this thread will die soon, OP take this as a lesson. You need to get a nice concise plan on what exactly you are going to do, don't just have a scramble of ideas piled into one. You can always add to the show later, but keep it short and simple. Presentation is key.
