This show was pretty cool, making a musical show in general is pretty ambitious and the fact there's actually a handful of good ones is nothing short of a miracle but why the fuck did it end so abruptly? For a show with so many threads being strung along it's baffling the season finale didn't tie up any of them, especially when the ending song was like a run through of all the other songs and was showing recurring characters like we got an actual finale.
What the fuck happened?
>talk about a haunted hotel room for an entire goddamn episode
>build up to it
>Bitsy ends the episode staying in the room to shut everyone up
>episode abruptly ends
>no mention of it ever again, not even from Bitsy
>make a big deal over the narrator fucking up and losing his job
>spend the better part of two episodes on it
>narrator does something even more intrusive
>gets his job back???
>the whole narrator thing is never really brought up again
>drop the kite kid with no mention of him until the last two episodes after spending half the fucking season focusing on him
This show was a fucking mess.
Nobody has Apple TV+.
It feels like grounded self-contained stories to me, just like Bob's Burgers. I don't know why everyone wants this show to have some overarching huge plot or meta narrator story. I enjoy it for what it is- Simple wholesome characters, the occasional chuckle, and at least one pretty decent song each episode.
The season finale ended perfectly. Owen faced something that was big and daunting to him, as a park manager, that threatened the park, and he came out on top. Molly seeing him as a superhero summed it up great. He's just a normal dude- they're all just normal people doing their thing, but they're doing their best and that's all that counts.
I completely forgot about the haunted hotel room. It really is weird how they ended that B-plot. When I first saw episode 4, I assumed this would carry on into the next episode(s), but now it seems like it was just some silly joke for the episode to end on. Too bad it wasn't a good joke.
That's probably the best analysis I've seen anyone make for Central Park. I'm glad you and I are on the same page, user.
I think it's because the show does kind of set itself up to seem like it was going to have an overarching plot with Bitsy buying the park, and they do touch on it occasionally, but not enough to where it'd be the main focus for each episode. I do really enjoy this show for what it is though, I like the episodic stories too, and I really like the soundtrack, I've been using it for bedtime music. Can't wait for it come back
Yeah, I actually want to know what a narrator is. Do they exist outside the show. Does the show acknowledge it's a show or even a cartoon?
If I were to look at Birdie as an actual character, I get the feeling he's homeless. I don't feel like Birdie ever truly goes home and he lives at the park just making enough money to eat. I just feel he has nothing and he latched onto this job unhealthy (way too close song)
>I don't know why everyone wants this show to have some overarching huge plot or meta narrator story
Because the show itself sets up all of that throughout the whole thing and never really has it pay off.
Does Bob's Burgers even need more than 10 seasons? I rarely ever see anyone talking about the show. Najja Porter is probably the only industry artist who's still an active fan.
It needs more Tina fanservice.
That's not how you spell 'Linda.'
I recently picked it back up after I stopped watching it around season 5 or 6, and I'm surprised at how good it still is, I'm on season 9 now. As long as the quality doesn't take a dip, it should be fine, hopefully they know when to stop.
cool, hope you enjoy season 10
OP, why did you bother starting this thread if you didn't even want to talk about either of Loren's shows? Making a thread to just voice opinions in one fell swoop before running away really isn't worth it. You would've been better off just waiting another 1-2 months for somebody who actively wants to talk about CP and BB to start their own thread that you could then join in.
I knew this thread was a goner the moment I saw it.
Birdie's role is weird to me. He is a narrator but he's super attached to this family like he's an audience surrogate. Yet the family never really acknowledges him? Its weird to have Birdie saying stuff like "This family's my family" and Owen never even offers him inside for pizza
>so many threads
Not really
>Bitsy wants to buy CP because insecurity
>Family wants to stop Bitsy
I find it creepy he watches the family from the window. I mean he's able to jump into the show with a cut, he doesn't actually have to be there. I dunno on a list of things that are okay, and not okay watching a family outside the window is not okay.
>Its not creepy
>wants to buy CP
>What the fuck happened?
It was fucking shit is what happened
no it wasn't
Is anyone talking about Apple plus shows? I don't think that show with Chris Evans got much traction
Serious not bait question. How much shipping and romance shit is forced/exists? Based on Bob's Burgers and the promos for this cartoon I'm not sure I want bother. I really don't like romance in general but especially for no reason. Shit after like two seasons of Bob's Burgers that's what half the series became
Also why don't I see Zig Forums flipping their shit over the voice acting thing when for once it's justified (not their potential reaction but how ridiculous the whole thing is)
I forget is this 2 or CD?
It was complete shit. Characters had no personality, the jokes were all lame and nothing was ever allowed to sit and stew before they jumped to another scene to add in another shitty sub plot. The songs ended up just being padding.
There's a substantial romance subplot with Molly trying to date a boy who has connections to the antagonist
Just give the show a try
I'll try it if I get around to it, or just samefag complain about race mixing nonstop. Whichever
sorry the thread is pretty shitpost free and I keep shitting it up
It was pitched as a movie then spliced up into a show. Hence why it's all a fucking shambles.
I don't think anyone knows Apple is even making shows and movies. Same happens to Amazon.
>songs in a musical are padding
yeah no
>Characters had no personality
Owen is a nature lover who wants others to share his passion
Paige is eager to cover breaking news
Cole loves animals and fictional books
Molly is an artist that's into superheroes and boys flying kites
>the jokes were all lame
subjective
>nothing was ever allowed to sit and stew
Josh Gad pushed for 4 songs an episode. This does leave less room for dialogue but it is a musical, I want to hear singing over witty dialouge
Amazon is ubiquitous and tons of people already have access to prime, Apple products and services are for literal retards unless I'm really misunderstanding how Apple TV works but this doesn't invalidate my point about Apple users. I don't mean this in a "brand I don't like bad" way either
Amazon Prime has The Boys which is at least talked about in circles I'm familar
