Growing Around Growing Around: A slow moving trainwreck. (General Thread)

Speaking of stupid shit Enter would rather do than create a series bible, he has created an extended family tree for the Dunns:

What's the point of introducing the extended family if you don't recommend the writers using them?

I guess only the Almighty Enter is allowed to use those characters.

I guess that explains "I know EVERYTHING about these characters. Mwahahaha!".
NOT STUPID AND NOT AN ASSHOLE counts as everything.

Sheesh. That's pretty bad. I am inspired to write my own pitch bible now. Give it another chance, this time going for a cartoon. Maybe I can show how it's supposed to be done. Ten seconds of googling "how to write a pitch bible", and I get dozens of examples to follow, and several logical answers as to why they are necessary.

Edited to add:
So, Lisa and Frank?

Spoiler

 

[chimpburgers]

Of course he'd name one of the characters Patrick. Lol.

And yet, there is a curious lack of teenagers.

 

[Johnny Bravo]

Why is Sally a homemaker? Are you fucking serious, Enter?

Nothing about Sally suggests she would want to be a homemaker. She's a hyperactive, cocky little bitch. If anything she should be the business owner and Timmy should be... I dunno... not boring as tar.

Speaking of stupid shit Enter would rather do than create a series bible, he has created an extended family tree for the Dunns:

Well, Enter was reading this thread and made a family with 3 children, but, one of them is a three year old that already works
this must be a joke that Enter thinks is hilarious, but it really isn't
And how they don't know they have cousins?
Robert told them about his brothers, so it would be a logical conclusion in a world where having a kid is necessary to live
And by "know everything" he means that he went to TV tropes and based them around some stereotypical characters
and, I actually think he will make one of the cousins an asshole, because this troupe isn't overused as hell.
Also, there are twins, I don't know if I want Enter to do the "creepy twins" thing, or if he'll mess it up
This family is also needless gigantic, kill off Robert's uncles and aunts, they aren't that important
what kind of name is Meadow?

 

[Piga Dgrifm]

Why make these characters if no one's allowed to write about them?

 

[MrsFrizzle]

What a horrorshow of a world, where three-year-olds have jobs, sisters are housewives for their brothers, and everyone has children in their late teens or early twenties.

 

[Toy_Bon-Bon]

Why make these characters if no one's allowed to write about them?

Maybe Mr.Enter just wants to set up a personality for them first in his own script first so that the other writers can know them better?

 

[Anchuent Dictata]

Enter actually almost reminds me of Spongebob in the episode where he has to write an essay, and spends most of the night doing anything BUT the essay.

Except with doing inane, extraneous shit that shouldn't be given emphasis at this stage of creating the show, instead of the bible.

Then why share it?
He could have kept these character a secret, and after a good chunk of them is already shown, then do this chart.

But I think it is obvious what is coming:
A family reunion episode

That, or there will be family drama by Robert's side, because the self inserting must not end(and doesn't Enter have 4 siblings as well?)

Anyone want to bet that it will be a knock-off of the MLP Family Reunion episode?

 

[The Perplexing Ms. Escape]

Wow that's a nice tree of characters that we'll never hear about. What's the point of having such a thing? What's the point of it when you haven't even finished the fucking bible?

Speaking of stupid shit Enter would rather do than create a series bible, he has created an extended family tree for the Dunns:

Pointless family tree is pointless. Why bother if you won't use em?

 

[Piga Dgrifm]

Of course he needs to have a "Patrick."

 

[Anchuent Dictata]

Pointless family tree is pointless. Why bother if you won't use em?

To be fair, when I'm doing hobby writing every now and then I often include details that aren't relevant to anyone but me.

But when I'm doing that, it's just for me. Not released as "official" material for a project that is intended for the televised audiences of what could be thousands to *pffft* millions of people.

Now that I think about it, I may know why:
Headcannon material
Enter is already creating characters that aren't relevant at all so his fans can sperg over then, just like bronies do with background characters

 

[Johnny Bravo]

I'm still irritated that he thinks making Sally a homemaker in this show that's supposed to teach kids moral values is okay. I mean just look at that chart. Timmy is a business owner, Matthew is a chef, Patrick works in business, and Lucas is a farmer. What kinds of jobs do the girls have? Well Sally is a homemaker, Amber is a girl scout (shouldn't she be den mother?), Jenny is a teacher, and Alice is an interior decorator. Whatever could it mean!?

I'm not trying to sperge about feminism or anything, but if Enter wants to make a show starring good role models he needs to pull his head out of the 1950s' ass.
