Story Series Idea

[Colin]

Been thinking about this a lot for the last few days, and I think it's something that could work VERY well, especially doing it by folks around here...

What do you guys think about creating parodies of "Behind the Music" (like the Simpsons did) for both the characters and the shows itself?

It works for any show, so we could all have lots of fun writing it. Imagine how much fun it would be to create scandals for your favorite toons! I've already got some ideas floating around for several TTA characters... Buster the alcoholic, Plucky's Hollywood life... I'm gonna get started on these when I get my computer set back up.

My biggest problem is I'm not sure what exactly I want to call it. Can't use Behind the Laughter, cuz the simpsons did that... I've gotten some suggestions from Craig & Brian... and am open to lots more... I'd love to see Toon Zone become the home for the "Behind The..." of the WB Toons =)

...."Behind the Wackiness"?

Re: "Buster the Alcoholic": heh....though it reminds me of that preachy "One Beer" episode of TTA....


Guess this could be pretty fun...as long as a certain network run by a certain Australian in cahoots with a certain football-head-shaped infant isn't involved, of course ;-) I'm sure this would be right up Craig's alley (as soon as he gets back from Switzerland)....

Hmm...possible profiles:

"You know him as the FLASH----the *Fastest Man Alive*. But what happens when the Scarlet Speedster's revealed to be the fastest man alive---*figuratively*?!"

[Cut to some woman whose head is obscured, but whose body clearly reveals her to be Lois Lane]

"ANONYMOUS" WOMAN: (Cynically) Oh, yeah, he's the "fastest man alive", all right----saw him getting three other women's phone numbers each time I went to the restroom during our so-called "date".

ANNOUNCER: "We'll also take a look at *Aquaman*: You know him as 'that guy who swims really fast and talks to fish'--- [cut to a picture of the King of the Seven Seas himself, from that S:TAS episode] but did you know how he started his Aqua-career?! Two words: *SEA WORLD*!" [Cut to footage of him as a teen, wearing a humiliating "I Love Sea World" t-shirt/cap, and another shot of him in a stupid-looking dolphin costume, trying to jump through a flaming hoop, which catches his costume on fire and causes him to yelp in pain]

ANNOUNCER: And of course, the Life Story of Pinky: you think of him as the humorous, silly-willy sidekick of Brain...but we'll take a look at how during a low point in his career, he resorted to pushing "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis" videos on late-night TV, and of course, his lowest point: battling his five-year to *GOVERNMENT CHEESE*!

PINKY: (Wearing a sweater and sitting in front of a fake-looking "home" type of set) Well, it was so yummy in a low-grade sort of way at first---but then---(sob)---oh, it was *horrible*! (Sobs) Three boxes a *day*! And it all went to my *thighs*! TROZ!! (Sobs)

Well, I guess that's a *start*.... :-)

Hmm, that would be a perfect idea, I mean, since all our favorite toons are out of work, what else would they have to do except have their lives profiled extensively? It would give us something to do, with no chainlinks in the works and "Spaced Out Warners" still on hiatis while Caps is on vacation. The Encyclopedia Histeria Board has had one of those Behind the Music parodies too, BTW, but that was a very dark piece called "After the Laughter" in which all the cast members had terrible futures after the show ended. But I'm sure we can do better for the other toons than that.
Oh, and off topic, the reason this is my first post in over a week is because my notorious computer hasn't been able to get me on here until today, everytime I try it says the server cannot be found, but that's the fault of the computer because everything's apperantly been going smoothly around here.
