felt like it had potential

Korgoth of Barbaria.
youtube.com
It's not even clear what happened to it, it looked like it was going to be made and then just wasn't. It's a shame too, because it feels like a niche in cartoons that has just never been properly filled since.
Caleb Diaz
Galactic KND
Samuel Peterson

Not a pilot but still looked fantastic and promising
Dylan Collins
Never Forget.
Leo Jones
Eh I'm kind of glad this never got made, the main character was annoying and the premise is already worn out after 1 episode
Aiden Price
Unrelated to OP but anytime I mention what a cartoon nobody remembers this. Granted I'm 24 and usually ask people a little younger than me, but given the airdate I shouldn't remember most of these yet I do. Goddamn autism.
Grayson Edwards

I only just found out about this pilot when someone made a thread about it a few weeks ago, and it's so fun and well drawn and interesting in every way. If only it got made.
Joshua Russell
This feels like if Don Bluth created a couple of animaniacs characters
Chase Clark

it's a safe pick, sorry
Levi Flores
It'll still get picked up somewhere, right?
Henry Hill
Bubsy
Julian Kelly
no idea if this would have been good, but the animation makes me insanely curious.
Nicholas Davis
Holy FUCKING shit! I have SEEN that when I was a wee lad, watching CN on one of the bonus cable channels!
Joshua Garcia
what was it? i forgot
Nicholas Perry
Amazing Screw On Head
Tyler Watson
Am certain I heard Adult Swim picked this up a while after this came out and then.....nothing. They just dropped it. Mother Mustang, what must I do.......ANSWER ME!

I really like this one, but as a short rather than a pilot. I have no idea how a show of this would've worked, but this pilot has a really neat animation style and nice music.

This would have made for a great late 90s show.

I remember liking this too

sorry but you just have the most punchable face

Felt like it would had the Courage Cowardly Dog level of creativity and quality to it episode by episode with a few god-tier ones in there.
youtube.com
Remind me of Tom & Jerry but not as dated to be honest. Even the new Tom & Jerry cartoon seem to stick with dated ideas for the most part.
Evan Butler
Does Mina and the Count...count? It never became a full series, but it had shorts on What a Cartoon and Oh Yeah Cartoons.
Ethan Smith
It counts imo but there is surprisingly a decent amount of cartoons for something that never got officially made. I can see why no one would pick it up though, kinda weird to have a cartoon telling kids that it is ok to hang out with older adult strangers. Like as a pure cartoon it was great but I realistically can see why it should never exist as one.
Andrew Myers
It's nothing like courage the cowardly dog, courage the cowardly dog's artstyle is pretty unique and its something that you can tell is by Dilworth. This is just slapstick using an artstyle that was pretty generic for the 90's.
Charles King
Yeah, What a Cartoon! birthed almost every popular 90's Cartoon Network show they had, so it's sad more people don't talk about how influential it was. Even the ones that didn't get picked up were original and weird enough they are still enjoyable. The only ones I remember being really snooze-tastic where the Flintstone ones.
Christopher Diaz

Dominic Brown
I think "it should never exist as one" is going too far, but I see what you mean. Reading the episode descriptions is reminding me of that guy on Sup Forums who was making a comic about a guy befriending a young girl who gives him relationship advice and goes on practice dates with him, and everyone started making fun of the guy, calling him a pedo.
Lincoln Cooper

Literally Mission Hill for furries.

Zachary Parker
I imagined this would've taken place during different time periods like ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, the Middle Ages, WW2, etc.
Jackson Reyes
Screw-On Head was so good. They really preserved the comic's feel.
Justin Brown
Wyatt Cox
Alexander Brown
apparently there was not enough budget and/or too costly to produce
Kevin Morgan
I found this cartoon quite disturbing because in the end he murdered the Eskimo couple and was likely going to get the death penalty.
Logan Flores

People like to think they aren't in the worst timeline until you realize Big Bang Theory got picked up and Eltingville Club didn't.
Levi Brooks
Christ I remember all of these. How often did cartoon network replay these? I know they weren't one-off plays because I recall seeing these repeat often.
Grayson Wilson
This is my favorite as well. I've seen this pilot so many times and it never stops being entertaining. I think a lot of that is owed to how great the voice cast is.
Dylan Lopez

as a side note, found of ralph bakshi made a cartoon pilot...and it feels nothing like a kid`s cartoon.

Sebastian Richardson
Eh, it kind of lacks the same bite that comics have.
John Sanchez
It makes more sense for the Eltingville Club to stand united against everyone else in their quest to make comics worse for the general population, anyway. Having them be actual (albeit still dysfunctional and self-destructive) friends is more entertaining than 4 guys that hate each other.
I still love the comics though desu
Cooper Thomas
Never even seen this and I've seen most of these pilots.
David Diaz
Very Important House. Disney/Titmouse.
Dylan Phillips
This is pretty much The Anime Club but expanded to cover every nerdy topic and I like it a lot.
Eli Ross
Wow I've seen nearly all of the what a cartoon pilots. Don't think I've ever seen a goddamn Bakshi cartoon. Holy crap.
Cameron Stewart
I feel like an Eltingville TV series wouldn't have worked that well. I think today a movie would work better, especially considering how normalized geek shit is nowadays.
Aaron Barnes
I`m honestly surprised Ralph Bakshi making a "tame, kid-friendly oriented" cartoon still ended up like this.
Loved the entire pilot, but definitely felt like i could have fit into more of an adult-swim lineup.
James Butler
Ralph is unable to produce anything family-friendly. Must have drugs and prostitutes. MUST.
Brayden Morgan
firedogs 2 is pretty family friendly
Ayden Gonzalez
youtube.com
i still wonder to this day if a cartoon with a silent protagonist would work with today`s kids?
Nicholas Moore
d'aw, this girl is really cute
Parker Russell
Huh, this is pretty nice. In a soothing kind of way.
It's easy to forget how goddamn TALKATIVE shows are these days.
Grayson Walker
this looks like a Futurama rip off
Samuel White

Apparently, this pilot was never intended to be greenlit. Which is a shame since it looks really interesting with it's past-future subplot gimmick.
Pic related is what the creator decided to work on instead.

Jason Rodriguez
i like this simplicity, its fantastically brilliant
Caleb Martinez

what i'm getting from this is that I should learn to pick up trumpet and get me some puss
Zachary Campbell
i thought it did get picked up? the creator has been saying it has.
Nicholas Stewart
Gorgeous. What happened to it?

>Read about Korgoth of Barbaria
>People go on and on about how "it's a shame it was never picked up"
>Finally decide to check it out
>mfw it's another lame "SERIOUS BUT TOTALLY NOT LE SERIOUS BECAUSE IT'S LE FUNNY" shitshow like Archer or Venture Bros or Rick & Morty
Is this honestly the best American animation can produce? Poop jokes and violence?
I'm glad this shit was never picked up, it's already bad enough dealing with fans of those aforementioned cancertoons, but this would have just been another annoying notch in Adult Swim's subpar offerings. This is the kind of joke I'd expect if the show had been picked up:
>>Korgoth has violent diarrhea, so he uses a giant monsters head as a toilet like he's Duke Nukem LMAO
Is this truly worth lamenting over?
Parker Cox
Shorts that were actually pitched to networks or just any animation that sets up a longer storyline?

3 Dog Band.
only for this scene.
Julian Green
Taken on its own as a half-hour parody of the "Conan" films, "Korgoth" is fine. But had "Korgoth" gotten the greenlight, it would have become a bore of constant shit, gore, and sex jokes chained together by a threadbare plot that maybe would've gotten "deeper" during the season finalé. The same thing literally happened to "Superjail" and "Metalocalypse" - although the latter had just enough of a compelling overall plot that gave some sense of worth to the constant stream of ultraviolence.
>Is this honestly the best American animation can produce? Poop jokes and violence?
Yes, it is. Seriously, the closest that American animation has come to producing a truly "adult" show is, believe it or not, "King of the Hill".
Noah Stewart

It still hurts.
Jose Edwards
I can see why this didn't get greenlit. It's pretty much just any slice of life/ "F.r.i.e.n.d.s" type show with furries.
Dominic Peterson

The project got dropped probably because of budget. Ankama is trying yet to get the rights of the cartoon to resume its development.

Is this Neo Yokio?
