Welcome to Eltingville

I just saw "Welcome to Eltingville" last night on Cartoon Network's AdultSwim.com. It is the funniest stuff this side of Robot Chicken the network has ever offered! Why they never picked it up is beyond me. I was so able to identify with this show because I was the same way those kids were in junior high. Now I can not only laugh at myself,I can also laugh at the others who still do this well into their 20s and 30s, and not be considered mean! It's a great play on the nerd stereotypes, such as knowledge of completely useless(to the rest of us) trivia facts, bootleg just about everything, and using outrageously trivial possessions as status symbols. A great salute to the guys who keep the comic book industry and the internet running!

Awesome and hellaciously funny. And has spawned a show on Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim" just as equally funny. I love watching the antics of the very nerdy and quirky characters (whom kinda remind me alot of myself and people I know) The satyre of the show is very good. And when they do a Trivia Off, look out! Of course most people who have seen the show may have been un able to catch all the in jokes and sci-fi refferences (Unless you're a huge trekkie or Star Wars buff, I myself am more into Knight Rider )

Josh reminds me alot of my friend John whom is majorly into Pax Draconis, DnD, and anthropomorphic animal role playing games such as "Werewolf: The Apocolypse." and also Furry comics. Its funny to watch the characters beat the living crap out of each other over collectors items. This is a REALLY funny show. But it is mainly made to appeal to nerds like me and John. Which is kinda what Adult Swim is geared towards, just us nutball anime /sci-fi buffs. I don't know of many football jocks who watch Outlaw Star or Cowboy Bebop. Or Space Ghost Coast to Coast, or Home Movies for that matter.

I saw the pilot of this show on Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim" last night, and I have to say that it has a lot of potential if it gets a shot at having a run of its own. It's a very funny show, and I think the characters are HILARIOUS (Especially Bill, and Josh)!! Willoughby (the dorky wannabe who's always getting injured) was a riot too. I hope this show gets a shot on a network, or Cartoon Network because this is worthy of having a run.

This gets a perfect 10!

It Was A Great Show Just Like South Park & The Show Would Be On Comedy Central With The Same Voice Cast & They Would Have Crossover Episode Between South Park & Welcome To Eltingville Bill & Josh Fight Just Like Kyle & Cartman & They Hate Willoughby & They Hate Pip & That's Entertainment For Welcome To Eltingville & South Park & Cartman Stan Kenny & Kyle Would Have Their Own Club in South Park Just Josh Pete Jerry & Bill On Welcome To Eltingville & Kyle Cartman Would Have Trivia-Off For Darth Vader & Boba Fett & Han Solo & Luke Skywalker & The Would Watch Loony Tunes insead Of Xena On The TV .

One of the best pilots that never got picked up. Cartoon Network in the 2000s was one of the best in the animation industry. Even the projects that were canceled were incredibly good.

I've watched this pilot five or six times, and it still entertains me and makes me have a great time every single watch. The pilot has excellent pacing and a solid plot (thanks in large part to Dorkin's great comic book story).

In this version, unlike the comic, Pete and Jerry are more laid-back and seem calmer than their comic counterparts. Bill and Josh are still despicable, horrible human beings, but their behavior is toned down compared to the source material.

I can see why CN decided to shelve the project. Even though Dorkin's comic book was amazing, it was hard to adapt into a PG-13 TV show. If Adult Swim had been as big back then as it is now, this show might have actually been greenlit. It's also a challenging concept to adapt because there's only so much you can do with a group of nerds to keep an audience entertained. Some jokes and tropes can get old quickly, much like what happened with The Big Bang Theory.

P.s.: shoutout to Evan Dorkin, one of the greatest of independent comic books. I got a tattoo a few years ago of the Eltingville Club and showed it to him and he said I made his day. Great guy.
