Cartoon Network is an American pay television channel owned by Warner Bros. Entertainment, a subsidiary of AT&T's WarnerMedia. The channel was launched on October 1, 1992, and primarily broadcasts animated television series, mostly children's programming, ranging from action to animated comedy. It operates usually from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM (ET/PT) and is targeted at children in between 7-15. Its overnight daypart block Adult Swim is aimed at adults and is treated as a separate entity for promotional purposes and as a separate channel by Nielsen for ratings purposes.

<i>Adventure Time</i> American animated television series

Adventure Time is an American fantasy animated television series created by Pendleton Ward for Cartoon Network. Produced by Frederator Studios and Cartoon Network Studios, the series follows the adventures of a boy named Finn and his best friend and adoptive brother Jake —a dog with the magical power to change shape and size at will. Finn and Jake live in the post-apocalyptic Land of Ooo, where they interact with Princess Bubblegum, the Ice King, Marceline the Vampire Queen, BMO, and others. The series is based on a 2007 short produced for Nicktoons and Frederator Studios' animation incubator series Random! Cartoons. After the short became a viral hit on the Internet, Cartoon Network commissioned a full-length series, which previewed on March 11, 2010, and officially premiered on April 5, 2010.

Characters

The main characters, from left to right: Sumo, Jeff, and Clarence

A nice guy is an informal term for an adult male who portrays himself with characteristics such as being gentle, compassionate, sensitive and vulnerable. The term is used both positively and negatively. When used positively, and particularly when used as a preference or description by someone else, it is intended to imply a male who puts the needs of others before his own, avoids confrontations, does favors, gives emotional support, tries to stay out of trouble, and generally acts nicely towards others. In the context of a relationship, it may also refer to traits of honesty, loyalty, romanticism, courtesy, and respect. When used negatively, a nice guy implies a male who is unassertive, does not express his true feelings and, in the context of dating, dishonestly uses acts of ostensible friendship and basic social etiquette with the unstated aim of progressing to a romantic or sexual relationship.

Others

Production

At their 2013 upfront, Clarence was announced along with various other series. [4] The show was created by Page, a former storyboard artist for Adventure Time and revisionist for Secret Mountain Fort Awesome . [5] He is the fourth creator on the network who graduated from the California Institute of the Arts, [6] and at age 24, he is also the youngest. [7] As part of their shorts development program in 2012, the show was developed at Cartoon Network Studios; four others, Steven Universe , Over the Garden Wall , We Bare Bears and Long Live the Royals also came from this initiative. [8]

Page, together with creative director Nelson Boles, conceived the show at CalArts. It was further considered when Page became hired at Cartoon Network Studios. A crew of two or three polished the pilot episode; after it had been picked up, a crew of 30 to 35 writers, storyboard artists, revisionists, colorists and designers were employed. Meanwhile, animation is outsourced to South Korea through the Saerom Animation. [9] :20 Page explained that the hardest part of production was keeping pace, especially where once an episode is completed, one must start over. He called this "exciting", but "very challenging". [9] :21

According to writer Spencer Rothbell, the show was created with a naturalistic tone, similar to cartoons of the 1990s, combined with a more modern feeling. Given this naturalism, writers can reference works that have inspired for them or fit the genre of an episode. He ultimately felt that it was about "empowering kids and having fun". [10] Rothbell also avoids "pigeonholing" into one type of story, and that while some plots are mostly character-driven, others are "based on one idea that we think is really funny". [11] Inspiration also came from the shows Page watched as a child, which invoked more poignant and relatable situations. Despite this, elements of fantasy are allowed, and that conveying both incongruous to one another was one technique he particularly enjoyed. Boles noted that the art direction called for inconsistent character design to avoid having to fit model sheet with the universe perfectly—a result of what he dubs the Simpsons effect. [9] :20 Attention is also paid to background characters in order to expand variety in its plot and universe. [9] :20–21

Crossover

Clarence, Jeff, Sumo, and Belson appeared in "The Grampies", the short accompanying the Uncle Grandpa episode "Pizza Eve", along with other Cartoon Network characters from currently running and ended cartoons. Belson had a speaking role in that short. [12]

In the Amazing World of Gumball episode "The Boredom", Clarence and Mary make an appearance, alongside Uncle Grandpa and Regular Show characters.

In the end of the Steven Universe/Uncle Grandpa crossover episode, Say Uncle , UG looks over the list of characters from former and current Cartoon Network shows and saw Clarence is the last on his list.

Page's firing

In July 2014, Skyler Page was fired from Cartoon Network Studios due to cases of sexual harassment. [13] [14] [15] A Cartoon Network spokesperson confirmed that the series would continue despite his absence. [16] Spencer Rothbell later became head of story and the voice of Clarence. [17]

Showrunners

After Page was fired from the show, Nelson Boles, who was previously the series creative director, served as series showrunner for the remainder of the first season. Stephen P. Neary, one of the storyboard artists for the show, took over as showrunner for the second season and onward after Boles left the series early in the second season. [18]

Broadcast and reception

Clarence was originally previewed at the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con International. [19] Cartoon Network had commissioned twelve quarter-hour episodes, with the pilot episode airing after the Hall of Game Awards show on February 17, 2014. [8] The pilot was nominated for an "Outstanding Short-format Animated Program" at the 65th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards in 2013. [20] [lower-alpha 1] The first episode, broadcast April 14, 2014, was met with an estimated 2.3 million viewers, outperforming shows in its same demographic in the time slot by double and triple digit percentages. Meanwhile, preliminary data identified it as the most watched series premiere for the network that year. [21]

In Canada, Clarence premiered on Cartoon Network on April 14 [22] and on Teletoon on September 4, but it was later moved exclusively to Cartoon Network. [23] [24] The series premiered on October 6 on Cartoon Network in Australia and New Zealand [25] [26] and on November 3 on Cartoon Network in the United Kingdom and Ireland. [27] In India, the series debuted on June 1, 2015 on Cartoon Network. [28] . The last 13 episodes of the show aired first in Germany before airing in the United States. [29]

In a three-star review, Emily Ashby of Common Sense Media alerted parents of "a similar brand of absurdity and crudeness" as Adventure Time—though less severe—but praised the cast as "oddly likable". [30] Nancy Basile of About.com applauded the dialogue for its lengthiness, and considered the relationships between the characters to be dynamic and genuine, with some comedy thrown in. [31] Whitney Matheson of USA Today found Clarence to blend optimism and surreal humor in "just the right amount", and encouraged children and parents alike to watch its premiere. [32] In Animation Magazine , Mercedes Milligan described it as "a breath of fresh suburban air" and a celebration of childhood. [9] :20 Nivea Serrao of TV Guide contrasted the show with most fantasy animated series. [10] Brian Lowry of Variety called it "so quirky and idiosyncratic as to feel fresh", although it sometimes tread in "well-worn territory", but found the character designs unattractive. [33]

The show gained considerable press after featuring a gay couple in the Season One episode "Neighborhood Grill", with coverage in various tabloid and entertainment news sites, [lower-alpha 2] and in LGBT-oriented sites as well. [lower-alpha 3] The scene involves two male characters greeting each other with kisses on the cheek while at a restaurant. Rothbell originally had the couple kiss on the lips after receiving flowers from the other, but this went unapproved by the network. He added that the scene was a "minor throwaway moment", albeit "better than nothing", and anticipated that "one day the main character can be gay and it won't be a big deal". [37] Joe Morgan of Gay Star News called the buildup to the scene "an old joke", [42] a notion shared by Dan Tracer of Queerty , although he praised their portrayal "just as normal people". [43]
