Would you like a Housepets TV Show?

Post by JackeyAmmy21 »

Hey there! I decided to read Housepets at the beggining of January and i finished it last week (i was truly hooked by it). During reading i always thought of it on how would it look if it was a TV animated show and i wanted to know your opinion if you guys would like to see a Housepets! show.

Honestly i wouldn't like it because in order to be good it would need the same artstyle and that would mean Rick Griffin in the project and realistically speaking i think it's impossible + I think that a comic can't be made into a series and viceversa (Into the Spider-Verse is an exception tho)

If it was a series though, i made the math, and it would have aproximately 6 seasons with each arc being an episode
P.D: Since i'm new to this forums... Nice to meet yall!

On behalf of all the Housepets fanfiction writers(myself included) welcome to the forums!

Oh, and I'm also not sure if it would work as a show. Personally, I like it better as a comic.

There'd need to be some changes compared to the original arcs in order to make a better transition, but a fully animated housepets series? Sign me up!

I'm sure it is something Rick wouldn't mind doing if he had the right opportunity come his way. So it probably isn't that bad of an idea. I also would like to see one of it could be created!

Maybe a few animations, but a full blown TV show...well it wouldn't be a bad idea. A lot is possible there, so I suppose it would have to be a sort of experimental thing.

You might be surprised to learn there have been multiple attempts by fans to do something like this. Unfortunately, I don't think any got much farther than the proof of concept phase. To those people who would like a Housepets TV Show, you could try reviving one of those.
The cape comes with the promotion.

Yeah I saw like one or two youtube channels that made a bit of progress and then just died out. I figure it was like a casting issue or something like that.

It would be neat to see the series done as a voiced over motion comic. Sort of like was done with Watchmen a few years back.

Question is, what music/genre thereof would be appropriate for a TV show?

I'm assuming it would be pop music if it was to be done with very audience friendly lyrics.

The animation - if true to Rick's comic style - would have to be pretty high quality. Old style two-dimensional might work best to capture his workmanship.

Yeah, I always like to imagine the facial transitions when like Kevin is asked why he can't host Sasha, or Grape when asked if she'd risk a 1% chance of Baileys wrath

Why would Grape risk a 1% chance of Bailey's wrath? Also, why is this in spoilers? :?:

The whole "how many kids do they have" thing when Grape & Peanut were babysitters. Also idk I suppose pretty much everyone here has read the whole comic so yeah it's kinda pointless.

I don’t know if Housepets as a show would work, but it would all be worth it if this happened:
Cold Open:
Joel: Hello sir, I’m from PETA-
Jeff rears back to punch him
Title sequence begins

So then we wouldn't see Joel get a knuckle sandwich? But that was my favorite part of the strip! :(

Ok so I think this would fit perfectly in this topic:

A few years ago, may 2018, twitter user Andrew G. Zapata (AGZ19971) made this re-imagining of the HP logo if it would be a Cartoon Network show, I think it's fantastic

It woult’d also work if he got hit and the title sequence started immediately afterwards.

Nice, I wonder if future projects may take inspiration from that. Perhaps the youtube series that is still "ongoing" (though I don't think an update on it has been made in months)

This looks amazing! Maybe CN would be the right studio for it

That really does look very cool! I hope that Cartoon Network if they do agree to air it won't cancel it for something else though.
