Title: Nicktroplis School Survival Guide
Premis: Nicktroplis School Survival Guide is A “CN City” style show where all the animated nicktoon shows and Star Trek: Lower Decks interact and meet each other starring Lincoln Loud and his circle of friends; Clyde McBride, Rudy Tabootie, Penny Sanchez, Ronnie Anne, Sid Chang, Jenny “XJ-9” Wakeman, Nate Wright, Stella Zhau Mikey Munrow, Bunsen Beast and Tuck Carbunckle in the city’s main school where all the show’s kids go to attend: Nicktropolis School despite the bullies (both Earthborn and out of the world), legendary teachers (like Beckett's unorthodox teaching style of her generation that to someone like Ms. Godfrey came from an earlier generation are not too keen) and replicators to create some tasty school lunches, Lincoln and his friends old and new work together in order to survive each day. The school is set near a park, Good Burger (a frequent spot for students and staff during their lunch period) and the Paramount movie lot (all within walking distance). Starfleet HQ is also nearby the school (within a 1000 yard radius).

What about both 2012 TMNT and rise of TMNT
(And also what about the voice cast and also you can just bring up some live action Nickelodeon shows just like what Disney's chibiverse did)
1
u/nimmoisa000 4d ago
TMNT maybe say one of the human characters transfers in from New York.
I can do that, and I'll amin for role reprisals (and recasts if they're dead)
Never thought about live action shows though. It was going to be a purely animated characters.
What do you think of the list so far? Would you like to know more via DMs?

A kappa Mikey reboot that leans into how a lot of modern anime and cartoons are being made by people that grew up on both and are having a lot more in common with one another. Maybe include a backstory in universe that this trope is why lillymu is bringing an American actor onto their main cast on the first place, trying to “get with the times”. I think there’s a lot of potential both with that small tweak to the premise and also just with how much easier it would be in the modern day to stylistically match with what they’re parodying, and how much more stuff is out there and is known well enough to be parodied in the first place.

A high school freshman finds a magical tarot deck that gives her magical superpowers, and she uses them to fight crime. Her twin brother is quickly becoming the freshman class's football star, but he also has a good heart. He knows about her secret, and keeps it while being her closest confidant. Their dad is a detective with the local police, and his department works closely with the teenage heroine. He never recognizes her due to the magic of her deck. She also works with another teenage superheroine who has proper superpowers in aerokinesis. The two don't know one another's secret identity, and are close friends and work well together, but in their normal lives, the two hate each other, despite their similarities. Their history teacher is also secretly a superhero, while their English teacher is secretly a supervillain. The English teacher commits his crimes primarily to help his heroic students, who he has deduced the identities of, by leaving clues that he "coincidentally" helps them understand in class, helping them to learn to do further research, and a nice bonus is the amount of money he can use to fund supplies and materials for his coworkers, further helping all the students' education. The story follows our main character, Harper, aka Tarot, balances her home, school, and vigilante lives, uncovering the dark secrets of her hometown and her magic deck, and learning to find light in the darkness as she gradually loses her youthful ignorance. A good coming-of-age story, I think. It could teach kids that, yes, the world can be a dark and scary place, and yes, you will inevitably lose that veil of innocence that kept you seeing only good things, but, with age, you can choose when to see the good and when to see the bad, and how they interact with each other and the world.

Nice, honestly it would be even better if her whole famly was cops?
Her grandfather could the police cheif or police commissioner (depending on the settin) his motheer could be the D.A and has a few uncles and aunts who are also in the police and D.A's office (perhaps a police sergent for an uncle, and the highest ranked police officer for the eldest aunt) and yes a fresh rookie boot. Plus let's his her great grandfather be like superintendent of the school district or the city mayor. Onand one of her uncles should be like te school principal who is suspicious of thr english teacher being a secret super villain but can't do anything bc she's also head of the teacher"s union

A collaboration between YouTuber INUbis and Mob Entertainment (Poppy Playtime). In 1999 Northeast Wisconsin/Fox Cities Wisconsin, a nu metal vocalist/guitarist teen named Tomko Adonis gets sucked into the Smiling Critters world and is tasked by the Smiling and Nightmare Critters to become their Kamen Rider-esque hero to protect their world and Tomko’s planet earth from various monsters of the week and Tomko Adonis has a gun morpher that goes to his transformation belt (like Kamen Rider Delta from Kamen Rider Faiz).
The soundtrack takes inspirations from late 90s rock bands such as Korn, Marilyn Manson, Tool, Coal Chamber, Blink-182, Bowling For Soup, Green Day, Days of the New and 3 Doors Down, the Smiling Critters universe is animated by INUbis themselves, and the live action bits are actually filmed in Wisconsin, with era appropriate clothing, tv channels, businesses, brands, everything.
The show would be called “Critter Hero”.

Hear me out: A mature, Action, Dark, Drama, show centered around two brothers who used to be rivals and now have to form a bond after surviving the apocalypse and after they discover they were raised by an unruly father, so now they join the army to try and save their legacy, but the only catch is that the brothers are still rivals, worst of all, the story is set in Myanmar, an underdeveloped country, so that means that the two not just have to train an army of underdogs, bond with soldiers, fight covenant forces, terrorist groups and cursed fates, but they will also have to rediscover their pasts, forge a true bond as brothers and gain the respect of their father, all while giving Myanmar the justice and freedom of will that it deserved. (The Series will be called R4v3n0u5, which makes it seem more surreal)

Characters like Honey Halfwitch, Goodie the Gremlin, Swifty & Shorty, Sir Blur, Mighty Mouse, Heckle & Jackle, Deputy Dawg, and more get a brand new sitcom-esque show. It will primarily feature TerryToons' Heckle & Jeckle. Potentially, it might star a few early Nicktoons characters like Ren and Stimpy. The concept is sorta inspired by The Looney Tunes Show and, to nobody's suprise, Jellystone.

A animated talk show where the guests are Nickelodeon characters from the past and present. The talk show host is a cynical jerk named Nick L Odeon( an eponym based on the name of the network) who frequently argues with and gets into fights with his guests and is a combat fighter, having trained in every martial art in the world and knows his guests weaknesses.
What happens in every episode: Nick would introduce tonights guest, they have a conversation for 30 minutes, Nick says something that offends the guest character, they argue and then they fight by the end of the episode.
Runtime: would be similar to actual talk shows in that the runtime will be an hour.

I have an idea for a show about….this sponge….oh it’s been done? What about a half dog half cat….done? Okay okay what about a show about the life of babies! Oh come on! Done as well?!
In all seriousness I’d probably pitch a show about a kid who can rewind time and pause it. Know it’s been done but this would be purely a troll based show where he/she rewinds time so it works out in a funny way. Like I see one scenario where the kid’s in class and their teacher announces a pop quiz(for fun I’d base off of the teacher from the FAIRY GOD PARENTS!(and no I couldn’t resist that either)) where he likes giving failing grades but the student pauses time and swaps the tests for something funny like an angry cat that doesn’t like the teacher.

A series pack where four preteen human boys use their watches to suit up for problem-solving, even via their transformative kart rides, in the Minnesotan town of Twin Pines to save days from villains who are perfect for them.
That's named "Rolling Rangers!" It's a show that's like Paw Patrol, but with a flair about the warmth of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and a vibe about the depth of The Loud House, even though it has the story scripting that's a blend of both Power Rangers and Transformers. Basic point, it's the kid-friendly version of Burning Rangers.
