All Grown Up

no no, he has a point, the show was titled ALL grown up, being a teen is definitely not grown up.

Felt like they were acting as if they were in junior or senior year of high school some times.

I mean would you rather see them having their midlife crisis? It would be funny as hell but then the demographic for this was aimed at teenagers anIt would be funny as hell but then the demographic for this was aimed at teenagersd tweens who loved The show where Stu fucks up inventions and Dede reads Dr Shitlips advice to raise kids

I actually kinda liked that series.

I feel like that's what they wanted. It's like one of those dumb trailer lines when cartoons get live-action film adaptations where it's like "They've slayed countless hordes of enemies and conquered entire solar systems, but this summer they face their greatest challenge: HIGH SCHOOL."
Somebody pitched "Rugrats in high school" and greenlit it before they realized they couldn't actually put them in a high school setting without futzing everything up.

Wait, you mean to fucking tell me they weren't in middle school?

Chuckie gained massive balls

I think they were in junior high, which is basically the same as middle school.
The issue is that the stories and characters in the series would feel more at place in an actual high school setting.

a lot of cartoons got characters acting like teens even if they are all just starting grade school

you try and be a normal pre-teen while being called DILL PICKLES

Then why didnt they just age them up to be in high school?

This show fucked up Chucky. They made him an edgy faggot, Kimmy was a bitch, and Dill was a pothead. He was 10.

Back on Kimmy she was a rebel going after a 16 year old looking guy ND going out at night, she was fucking 10.

probably executive decision saying high schoolers was not the target, the few who watched forgot they were all like 10 anyway

Why do people keep thinking that the characters on this show act older than they are? And why is that a problem here and not the countless cartoons with 8-year olds that act like teens?

Kimi's 12 in the show.

It was a problem in Hey Arnold as well. All the kids were 9 but acted like 12/13 year olds.

>this whole thread

all of you should be ashamed of yourselves. go to bed right now and rethink your lives when you wake up

For me, it felt out of place because the show had the kids doing relatively outlandish things like sneaking out at night, hitchhiking, and experiencing romantic yet unreciprocated feelings for others, while also making a constant effort to remind the audience that the characters were, in fact, children.

I think that in Hey Arnold's case, it managed to find a more evened balance between the two extremes. It didn't force over and over that you were watching kids, but it knew its limits and stayed relatively grounded.

No.

OP, are you MrEnter, or just as autistic as MrEnter?

huh? this has been a complaint well before he ever arrived on the scene

As Told by Ginger did everything this show tried to do but better

>Dil was 10

I thought he debuted in one of their movies? Was it Paris? I cant remember but when the movies came out it was like six years or so after the show premiered. So there would have to be an age gap there.
