Bear in mind, not all those nine months are spent on animation. At any given moment, one episode could be in sound design, the next could be in character animation, the next could be in storyboards, the next could be in concept design and insert however many other steps here. Even with only one studio, there's overlap between different departments. I've seen shows that work with only one studio release 3-6 episodes a year, depending on complexity. So instead of 131 fucking years, Growing Around would take... 30 to 60 fucking years. Of course, this runs on the assumption that Enter has the brainpower to delegate several episodes at once.
Funny you should mention that. A long while back (like, late summer 2019), I combed through some of Enter's scripts in a real script editor to find the runtime for each of them (Lord forbid I time myself reading those things.) After reformatting all the dialogue, here are my results for Season 1a.

The common theme I've noticed is "Too much content for 11 minutes, but not enough to fill 22."
At least it’s mostly honest theft instead of pretending it didn’t steal the idea from Flip Flopped... even if he hasn’t mentioned that pilot in years.I always found it really confusing that this whole thing came from him saying that he could make a better execution of a shitty cartoon pilot. Why that of all things? It just seems so weird in a way that I'm not sure I can articulate.

Wait, I thought the kids are the 'adults' in this world? Shouldn't the adult be asking 'are we there yet? '. Why are the kids dressed like kids, wouldn't you want the 'funny' imagery of the adults dressing like kids, and kids in bussines suits? Why is the car shaped like a butterfly? Wwwwwhhhhhyyyyyy? How the fuck can kids run heavy industrial machinery to make those cars? Why is the traffic girl helping kids cross the street, shouldn't it be adults? Unless they're special needs kids, which just raises more questions...
that’s actually exactly what the original pilot was, and Enter thought that was the problem. Be believes the central gimmick only works if the kids use kid stuff and treat the adult stuff like adults treat kid stuff. Which is a sad outlook on life because that implies he thinks adults only look down in childhood instead of encouraging it and engaging with the child...you know, like most parents do, probably including his judging by how much tv they let him watch.
