i have few questions. When will this show get released? It's been almost 3 years ever since it was announced. Is first season complete? Why is it taking so long? What does J. G. Quintel think about show being delayed?

Season 1 is expected to premiere in May on HBO Max.

The delays occur when there was slight production delays, as well as the decisions from the higher ups that had the show being shifted off from airing on TBS onto HBO Max, this also explains about the same thing for Tig N Seek, which have been around the same year since.

According to Steve Hulett, Close Enough is already on its 2nd season and awaiting possible pickup for a 3rd.

Take anything Hulett says with a grain of salt. Most of the info he posts on his blog is inaccurate or outdated.

Is it? I can't think of a single piece of info he provided regarding renewals that was ever refuted. Not as far as I recall.

(edited to fix poor wording)

I recall he said at one point that Infinity Train would be an Adult Swim show. And I’m sure there’s some other stuff that I can’t remember right now.

Ok yeah I remember that. He also did the same with Tiggle Winks and Close Enough (tho this one's understandable) multiple times, but still, those slipups were relatively minor, and I'm pretty sure he's never been wrong about pickups, renewals, cancellations, and series endings, CMIIW. I'm fully aware that the info is subject to change and I do agree that we should take it with a grain of salt, but saying most of his info is outdated and inaccurate isn't exactly right either.

Then he mentioned about two years back, that originally COTC, Tig N Seek or The Fungies was supposed to be featured on the now-debunked digital network "Bite Size", which it never happened at all

See the details: Tomb Of The Cartoon Monkey Skeleton

Keyword: originally. He later clarified in the next Work Around Town post that the digital network was closed down. The info may have been true at the time of writing the previous post but networks change up their plans all the time.

Plus, no one has pointed out a single piece of info regarding renewals that was proven false so I still stand by what I said.

Is this Warner Bros. animated sitcom gonna be a regular show clone?
I wouldn't personally refer it as a "Regular Show clone", despite JG previously worked on it. And no, it is not a WB animated because it's not animated by them.

Okay, you’re right about WB not animating. They do however own the show. I saw more into it sounds more sitcom and grounded, something I appreciate. The Prince is also coming to HBO Max from Bento Box and 20th Century Fox Television and I cannot wait to see that as well.

And here's rock solid proof that the show is on its 2nd season: Storyboard artist Nora Meek's resume which you can see on their website.

Doctor's referrals are the new bane of my existence.
Aiko's outfit is the biggest reason she's the first character I've gone with for my celebration of Magical Doremi. It's something I would totally wear, and it would be super easy to cosplay.

also, I don't know if can ever look at any of the shows connected to Dan Schneider in a good light ever again. some of the actors are ok with us still enjoying them but I don't know if I can get past it.
as a survivor of childhood trauma, I I wish everyone would leave Amanda Bynes alone. she owes us nothing, and I hope she's doing as well as she can possibly be right now.
I think most people are very upset and lamenting the fact that Nickelodeon (NOT including preschool shows nor nick@nite) aren't having regular new episodes since after Transformers: EarthSpark finished the season.

Let's hope we get new promos during watching Sonic the Hedgehog 2 tomorrow night.
