@@altaccount844 thanks I don't watch this show that much

[@TW-us2pj]

I love these testing episodes. Even the ones from regular show. There is something so nostalgic about them.

[@mrvespuccia.k.ameganite1747]

Same, it feels so special watching them bc it feels like a glimpse back to the past to when we first met these characters as kids. However I also feel sad as well, because imagine if these shows were never picked up, that would mean that these pilots would be all that we’d have of their greatness, and all the sweet memories we have of them would’ve never happened

[@taaheedward2283]

Errors: In the shot where Gumball smiles at Darwin, the other characters in the background are missing. If you look very closely in the scene where Tina is catching the steak, Leslie's petals change from blue to pink. When Gumball and Darwin are launched at Hector's butt, Gumball disappears for a couple of split seconds.

[@kitsuujujitsuu4025]

I like that they made it so that Alan was with Carmen instead of Masami. The irony of that relationship makes it way better. I also wonder if they were referencing their original idea of Alan being with Masami in the episode where Masami created a plan to bring Carmen and Alan apart so she could be with him.

Ok..first for all..Teri was originally a man.. Second.. Darwin was originally a 3d fish..

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

Darwin was originally going to be 3D but guess what? 3D animation for Darwin is time consuming, so he have to make him 2D.

If you look on the Wikipedia page you can find out more about the original Teri character, his name was meant to be Paper Boy originally

[@savanna6243]

It's insane how something like this can turn into one of the most loved cartoons ever

[@ciscotheinkboi]

I always felt that Chowder and The Amazing World of Gumball had a kinship with each other. They're 2D animated shows that segways into and/or incorporate 3D animation (stop motion and/or computer animation) and they have mostly meta/4th wall humor and the main characters were once voiced by the same person! And both shows are funny af.

Coincidentally they’re my favorite CN shows lol
