Millions of shows
at the click of a button,
and here we are watching
reruns of '90s sitcoms.
I thought this was supposed
to be the golden age of TV.
Indeed. The savage wars
between the media giants
have spoiled us
with the abundance
of new television content.
But the faster they makes it,
the faster we watches it.
We can binge a full season
of a new show in a single day.
Then we have to wait months
for the next season to drop.
I'm just gonna come out
and say it,
the world needs more TV shows!
Then perhaps,
we should make the TV show.
Whoo-hoo!
Great idea, Star.
But if we're going to make
an awesome TV show,
we need to come up with an idea.
It's gotta be so imaginative,
it literally boggles the brain.
And it's got to be hilarious, yo.
With them clever jokes.
But also it must be filled
with the hearts
and the warm emotions.
And action!
It's got to have a lot
of action, baby!
Well, there's only
one type of show
that can do
all of those things
Animated shows!
Get ready, because today
we're heading to Hollywood
to pitch our very own show.
Titans go!
There it is.
The one magical place
that can make
our TV show a reality.
That dumpy-looking
office building?
All TV shows get their start
in dumpy-looking
office buildings.
We've come to make an animated
show for television.
Who's in charge here?
That would be me.
Toy Master.
That's right, Titans.
I'm the boss.
I control the cartoons.
After all,
cartoons help sell toys.
That's where the real money is.
We wish to make the awesome show
so that there is even more
to watch on the TV.
Fine. I'll give you a shot,
but you'll have
to make it through
the dreaded process of
TV development!
Now the first step
is pitching an idea.
Not the problem.
Each of us
has prepared the pitch
in the proper 12-point
courier font,
double-spaced, one page format.
Great!
Now crumple them up
and pitch them at these bottles.
What? We spent a lot of time
on these pitches.
Don't you at least
want to hear them first?
Look, I'm very busy,
and I don't have time
to listen to you
go on and on about your ideas.
I just want to see
if any of them hit.
Uh, fine, then I'll pitch first.
Ooh, that pitch was way off.
Boring! Not interested.
Just not enough meat
to that pitch.
We get that pitch all the time.
You are our last shot,
Beast Boy.
Bring all of the energy
to the pitch.
And don't let him throw you off
with his trash talk.
Can you speed this up?
My next meeting's
in five minutes.
All right, Beast Boy,
you've got this.
Pitch it. Pitch it good!
But don't come off too strong.
Hooah!
Okay, not the best pitch ever,
but not the worst either.
Needs some work
but has potential.
Congratulations!
You just won
a TV development deal.
I suppose I should take a look
at what you just pitched.
Gets ready for
the most original idea
you's ever seen.
A video game cartoon?
Yeah, it's like, what if
video game characters
came to life in the real world?
Hey, that's what I pitched.
Me too.
The I as well.
We all pitched the same idea.
That's because a cartoon
about video game characters
is the most over-pitched idea
in Hollywood.
But you did pitch it well,
so you'll get to move on
to the next step
of the development process,
making a pilot.
Here's your cheque.
Wow!
That's a lot of money.
Check out all them zeroes, yo.
Woot, woot, woot, whoo!
Just to be clear,
you need to use this money
to make the pilot.
We understand.
We'll make sure
to spend this money wisely.
Look, Titans, I bought
this expensive standing desk
to strengthen my core
while I work.
And I bought
this new designer office chair
to cushion my booty during
long, unnecessary meetings.
I hired a full-time assistant
in case we need someone
to order us lunch.
Word!
And I have hired the assistant
to the assistant.
Howdy?
In case we need someone
to order us the desserts.
Yo, Beastie, what'd you spend
your money on?
These video games
for research and development.
- Aah!
- Ooh.
I want to do some R&D.
We've all done a great job
on spending our money wisely.
Now, how much do we have left
to make the pilot?
I'm on it, El Jefe.
The 12 cents.
Hmm, that doesn't leave much
to hire animators.
It's cool, yo.
Cartoons these days
is computer-generated.
So let's just put our ideas
into the computer
and see what it generates.
Great idea, Beast Boy.
Everyone, type in your ideas.
Action.
Sci-fi.
Talking animals.
Need to run fast.
Super cool.
Explosions.
And now we just press Enter.
Power up!
The video game characters
That makes them cool
Video game action
Super cool, dude! ♪
It's spiky time!
So what do you think?
I think it's hot garbage!
Whoa!
But I could make it into toys,
so it works for me.
However, there's still
one final step
in the TV development process.
The show must get
officially green lit.
By the president of the studio?
No, no, no.
The final decision is made
by spinning the wheel.
Land on green light,
and we'll make a full season
of your show.
So this whole process just
comes down to dumb luck?
Of course. That's how
all of Hollywood works.
Now you get three spins.
Good luck.
Round and round and round we go.
Will the wheel reject the show?
Sorry. your shows off-brand.
Two more tries
for the green light prize.
Sorry, your show tested poorly.
One more spin
for a chance to win.
Come on, Star, spin, spin, spin.
- You can do it.
- Put your back into it.
Oh, I am feeling the lucky.
I am feeling the lucky.
Congratulations.
Your show has officially
been green lit.
Uh, don't get too excited.
The show is so bad,
it probably won't last
more than a season.
I was wrong. Your show's a hit,
and the toys have been
selling like crazy.
Oh yeah, we's going to be rich.
No, no, no, no.
That's not how Hollywood works.
You don't get the money, I do.
Aw!
And I've made so much money
off your show
that I can finally build
my toy army
and take over the world!
Oh, no! Our success
is coming back to bite us.
Ugh, so Hollywood.
We won't let you
get away with this, Toy Master.
Try and stop me.
Or better yet,
try and stop them.
It's spiky time.
This won't be easy, we made
these guys super cool.
Titans, go!
Uh. Oh.
Hyah.
Why did we give them
so many weapons?
Because it's super cool.
Aah!
Oh, the no.
We have made their powers
more super than our own.
You're going down, Spikes.
Need to run fast!
Aah.
Too cool.
You're finished, Titans!
Destroyed by your own
damn creations.
It's good to be the boss.
Wait. Did you hear that?
He said he's the boss.
That's right. I am.
I'm the big boss.
Well, there's only one thing
a video game character
can't resist fighting,
and that's the boss.
What are you doing? Stay back.
No! No!
Looks like all that research
and development
really paid off, Beast Boy.
What can I say? I knows
my video games.
Who would have thought
creating a new show
would be so difficult
and dangerous.
Indeed.
Well, who wants to go home
and watch some reruns
of '90s sitcoms?
