Gravity Falls: An Irregular Show

[Jahkaivah]

So this show is pretty great.



To summarise:

It's about this guy:

And his sister:

Who spend their summer with their great uncle Stan finding out about the spooky (or possibly just silly) stuff that goes on in this place:

Can we have one of them thread thingies about it?

[Jahkaivah]

Can we have one of them thread thingies about it?

Huh, apparently not.

Well ok, I'll just bump this with a four minute preview of the second episode and we can go back to not talking about it. (http://tv.disney.go.com/disneychannel/gravityfalls/videos/?video=1_7abwrhh5)

[kpenguin]

I've got two words for you, Jakhaivah, just two words.

GRAPPLING HOOK

[Tvtyrant]

I'm sorry, it looks interesting (and has great art) but I don't own a television.

[Fawkes]

I'm sorry, it looks interesting (and has great art) but I don't own a television.

But... but your name's TV Tyrant... :smallconfused:

[Tvtyrant]

But... but your name's TV Tyrant... :smallconfused:

It's actually from my home region, the Tualatin Valley in Oregon. It seemed clever when I made it up 12 years ago (I was 14) :smallwink:

[kpenguin]

I'm sorry, it looks interesting (and has great art) but I don't own a television.

The first episode is up for free on iTunes, if you'd like to check it out :smallbiggrin:

[irenicObserver]

I like it; it makes me feel nostalgic for all the old 90's(?) shows that were about kids and the random episodic supernatural. Also the idea of a story arc really piques my interest.

[kpenguin]

Jakhaivah, does the lack of attention to your thread and this show make you want to build a convoluted aquatic robot to terrrorize the forums?

[MCerberus]

Wow that does seem to evoke Quintel via Flapjack, I'll have to check this out. What I'm really wondering is if they're able to use the setting well enough while not being crushed by it.

[kpenguin]

As a side note, we would be remiss to link the awesometastic opening (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tctX771EQeA)here.

[Jahkaivah]

Jakhaivah, does the lack of attention to your thread and this show make you want to build a convoluted aquatic robot to terrrorize the forums?

It would explain why this site seemed to be down for me all day.

Though my reaction was more along the lines of:

[Starbuck_II]

Yes, there was So Weird, Eerie Indiana, etc.

This show is pretty great. I liked Mable after her plug in shirt of intro part. I like the uncle. The boy is okay.

[irenicObserver]

And the wax dummy episode debutted on the night of a waxing moon :smallbiggrin:

[Flickerdart]

Mabel is unsettlingly violent for no reason I consider adequate, and I'm not a fan of the fat guy in general, but otherwise it's a pretty nice show so far.

[smuchmuch]

It's not a bad show (and the intro is fantastic) and it has some pretty funny ideas but there's a weird gap between the character design and voices and personalities.
Mostly Pipper and Mabel, who sound a lot older than they look.

[Jahkaivah]

Mostly Pipper and Mabel, who sound a lot older than they look.

Dipper does sound very old for 12. But I think that works well with his role as the straight guy.

[StandardBC]

All I can say is that any "kid's" cartoon that has a reference to the assassination of Lincoln in the form of a light hearted joke is impressive. Also when they cut to Larry King and said "some sort of troll?" I almost died.

[Gez]

This show is adorable and hilarious. The main characters are all immediately likable, and the humor works on several levels so it's accessible to kids but still fun for older people. And the backgrounds are gorgeous and the animation super smooth. The main theme is very catchy, too.

Everything about it is great.

[Kindablue]

The boy is okay.
"You sneeze like a kitten."
Jakhaivah, does the lack of attention to your thread and this show make you want to build a convoluted aquatic robot to terrrorize the forums?
How... I read this post as that was being revealed...


Anyway! Thanks for the recommendation, Jak! Great show!

[Gez]

Anyone wants to speculate about the mysteries in the setting?

The numbered books have a six-fingered hand on their cover. That leads to looking at the number of fingers on the characters. As often with cartoons, the character have only four fingers (thumb included). Except... Some characters actually have five fingers. Stan, for example. As well as Soos. Or, outside of the more regular characters, Old Man McGucket or Manley Dan.

So it could be a child-vs.-adult thing, but... Li'l Gideon (a child) has five fingers. And some adults (such as Gossiper journalist Toby Determined).

On the other hand, some bit-characters like Deputy Durland have an inconsistent amount of fingers. [In the same scene, he has five during his dramatic entry (http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120704064732/gravityfalls/images/2/29/S1e3_blubs_and_durland_flashlights.png), and four when breaking a lamp (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120704064809/gravityfalls/images/6/62/S1e3_deputy_durland_searching.PNG).

[Kindablue]

On the gossip journalist, it just hit me who he's voiced by. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=NLYD2Jz2QXw) I love this show.

[Jayngfet]

Love this show. The writing is smart and quick witted, the art direction is concise and pleasing, and you can tell that Disney's animation department is stepping their game up and pulling new tricks. In a sea of cheaply done, flat, overly angular shows you can tell there was some real skill that goes into it.

I gotta say having such a smartly done, brilliantly voice acted, superbly crafted piece is a treat. While the overarching plotline hints are something I'm eager to get a good look at the day to day comedy stuff is good enough I'm not exactly chomping at the bit for something more as much as I could be. If things go well it'll hit that special mix of comedy and plot I haven't seen pulled off right YEARS.

This is definitley something that stole a spot in my top 5 from day one and will probably keep climbing if it keeps pace with what it's set up.

Apparently there is going to be an arcade character who comes to life in a future episode, animated by Paul Robertson.

To anyone who doesn't know who that is, I wouldn't recommend googling him in a work environment, lets just say it's bound to be very awesome.

[Nameless]

I intended to start watching this show when it came out, but couldn't find any decent uploads on the internet. Just caught up with episode 5. So far, so awesome! :smallbiggrin:

Worked out last time... (http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee468/WizardPony/75b99a0a.jpg)

I'll set my DVR for fun. Thanks for the heads up!
Kippy singing it's praises ain't nothin' to sneeze at, either...

This show is fun indeed. Its nice to have a good cartoon to watch.

How are you people getting an episode ahead of the rest, anyways?

[Kindablue]

With a yo ho ho and a bottle of rum, I'd guess.

[Jahkaivah]

There is a Disney on Demand service that has granted the common man access to new episodes of Gravity Falls a full week before they air on television.

But I would not envy those who have taken this path, but instead pity them, for they have chosen to first experience the episodes of this great show at a mere 480p resolution.

[Dr.Epic]

Show looks interesting. I almost watched an episode, but Batman came on, and I'd rather go with the thing I know is awesome than take a gamble. Is the girl the same girl that's the bunny girl from Bob's Burgers?

[Jahkaivah]

Oh hey, rap song!
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALstOqg0pig)


Is the girl the same girl that's the bunny girl from Bob's Burgers?

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c226/saxcsa/KristenSchaal-1.jpg



Yep, same voice actress.

[Dr.Epic]

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c226/saxcsa/KristenSchaal-1.jpg

Knew it! Also, that image should be in the show.

I also saw an episode earlier. It was awesome!:smallbiggrin:

[irenicObserver]

Backtracking can be awesome. (http://officerpapermouth.tumblr.com/post/26585761174/ok-the-gravity-falls-theme-is-cool-backwards)

[Dr.Epic]

This show is fun indeed. Its nice to have a good cartoon to watch.

You just made Finn the human cry.:smallfrown:

[ThePhantom]

Okay, adventure time has its good points, but its on a different channel. There should be more than one good thing on TV.

[Dr.Epic]

I'm trying to figure out if Adventure Time or Gravity Falls gets more crap past the radar.

If I were to ask Vegeta how much crap they get past the radar, he'd say it's 1,006. Then he'd turn his scooter right-side-up.

[irenicObserver]

Vegeta really should be wearing a helmet, and not riding motorized vehicles pasts two consecutive tv sets trying to get a reading on how much crap they get past the radar.



EDIT: So here's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X1KxUl2Pxo) an early animation clip. Would it be shallow of me to say I probably wouldn't have enjoyed the show so much if it was animated like this?
Early Concept Art (http://superpunch.blogspot.com/2012/06/gravity-falls-concept-art.html)
And apparently two unused themes (http://neilcicierega.tumblr.com/post/26581987556).

Anyone else amused by all the instances of getting crap past the radar?

"This coffee's from Columbia."
"Columbia? I did prison time there once."

:smallbiggrin:

I love Gruncle Stan. This show should either be called the Gruncle Stan Comedy Hour Divided by 2 or Getting Crap Past the Radar the Half Hour. Either is fine.

[Pokonic]

This show is...one of the better things on tv. I will admit it, I dont know how many shows have actualy made me drop what I was doing.

Now that Double Dipper is out (on the Disney on-demand thingamajig), I can tell you you'd better get him rocketing upward to the top of the list.

[Dr.Epic]

Well last night's episode was pretty cool. Also, was that one girl voiced by the same actress that voice BMO in Adventure Time?

YAY! The bunny girl from Bob's Burgers is friends with BMO. They will make an unstoppable team. Plus they got that one big guy that wears a shirt with "cool" on it too.

[Starbuck_II]

Will we ever see Mabel's new friend again?
I'm surprised Dipper never said, "Curse you inevitable betrayal". :smallbiggrin:

ADORABLEEEEE!!!

[Pokonic]

It's had a very good record for referencing past events so far, so there probably going to show up again. Also, it's a very small town. If you look at any crowd scene, the general group is usualy the same.

Also, is it going to be a running thing that creatures melt near that cool rooftop thing? :smalltongue:

[Jahkaivah]

Will we ever see Mabel's new friend again?

And are the three of them ever going to get their cutie marks?

[Gez]

It's had a very good record for referencing past events so far
Yep. In episode 8, there is even a cameo from Lil Gideon.

Speaking of which episode, it's another success. The first conspiracy revealed! :smallbiggrin:

Of course, any praises I sing are value-less. :(

Also, SiuiS, on the recommendation of Kindablue, I am going to read all your posts in the VOICE OF SOOS.

[kpenguin]

SiuiS sounds nothing like Soos, but I approve anyway

[Tectonic Robot]

I just saw the most recent episode, and this show continues to amaze me with how stinkin' awesome it is. Especially since it's Disney channel!

[Starbuck_II]

Yeah, but I feel sorry for Dipper, things never work out great for him. His sister got to be a honorary Congressmember before. What does Dipper get? Well, maybe that pink bear thing. :smalltongue:

[Pokonic]

I found a screenshot of the document from ep 8

The time travelers pig was pretty much awesome in every way.

[SiuiS]

Mabel=2nd best thing about the show
Gruncle Stan=best thing about the show

I disagree! Dipper is remarkably solid for a generic, fall-guy lnowitall protagonist. He's no Twilight Sparkle, sure, but thats because he's not a purple quadruped.

*waps with newspaper* No! No insecurities! You have value, Darn it.

Also, SiuiS, on the recommendation of Kindablue, I am going to read all your posts in the VOICE OF SOOS.

Aww, man. This is because I read all his posts in the voice of a dalek, isn't it?

SiuiS sounds nothing like Soos, but I approve anyway

Well, I mean it depends on how you pronoun-- oh, OOOHHHH. Okay. Yeah, cool. Thanks KP!

Whaaaaaaat

Dipper is pretty legit! Better than a lot of other leads, I think.

What he said! Except I think Dipper = Twilight Sparkle. Or maybe even more? >_> <_<

But, yeah. Grunkle Stan. He's fantastic.

[BiblioRook]

I was just thinking about the Presidential Key Dipper was given and couldn't help but wonder if it would actually ever be used again. Not just that really, but I could easily see the twins amassing a fair collection of otherwise useful objects and wondered if we would ever see any of them in action other then the episode they are first found. An example could be with Mable's grappling hook.
Similarly with new side characters I guess, while Mabel's new friends from the Double Dipper episode undouptably will show up again (I should hope) I wonder how such characters like, say, Mabel's new pet pig will continue to show up. After all, an item could be hand-waved away just by being lost in some proverbial closet, but it wouldn't be that easy to to explain away a living thing.

[Flickerdart]

The grappling hook is like a quarter of Mabel's size. It probably isn't very easy to carry around everywhere for her. The pig? The pig can walk.

Fixed it for you. :smallwink:

[Tectonic Robot]

I have a feeling that they are planning out the crap out of this show, and that there's going to be many call backs and Checkov's Guns (A term used by TV Tropes and Idioms for an item or plot point introduced early, and only becomes important later in the series) and generally just awesome things are going to happen.

*Is exciteeeed*

[Flickerdart]

Checkov's Guns (A term used by TV Tropes and Idioms for an item or plot point introduced early, and only becomes important later in the series)
That's Chekhov's gun, named for the writer Anton Chekhov. Checkov's gun is the phaser used by Pavel Checkov on Star Trek and has no literary properties.

[Fawkes]

That's Chekhov's gun, named for the writer Anton Chekhov. Checkov's gun is the phaser used by Pavel Checkov on Star Trek and has no literary properties.

Also, the phrase predates TVtropes, but now we're just being pedantic.

Also, a little silly! But not Mabel-silly. We are being a totally different sort of silly. One that might not be as amusing for other to watch!

[Kymme]

Only seen to episode 5, so I'm ignoring spoilers, but I digress.
I love this show. Very much. However, I am rather sure that the reasons why I like it have already been stated. So, anyways, subscribed to this thread.

[Tectonic Robot]

Gravity Falls marathon SCOOOREEEEE

[Pokonic]

It's like the writers are mocking us with that apperance of
a young Stan in the time-travel scenes.

[kpenguin]

I was pretty shocked about

How normal Youngkle Stan looked. No fez or anything

[Pokonic]

Hmm, but
How old was he in that scene? Mid-twenties? Admitly, he is probably in his mid-twenties in a small town, which is sort of odd in itself considering he has seemingly yet to convert his house into a tourist trap.Then again, would you expect a young twenty-somthing to be deep into importent secrets?

Also, just found this off the creators twitter feed.

http://p.twimg.com/A1Z6D0KCIAASrpV.jpg:large

To anyone following the american elections: yes, that's who you think it is.

[Tectonic Robot]

I totally can't tell who that is. >__>;;;

[Pokonic]

First off, new episode was great.

I totally can't tell who that is. >__>;;;

Secondly, a link to the Twitter post (http://twitter.com/_AlexHirsch/status/240513836061433856/photo/1). I wonder how they are going to handle it, and if Disney is going to let this air.

It's a joke, guys.

Fight Fighters was basically awesome. Parodies of old videogames done well, guys! Woooo!

New episode trailer, man. SO OMINOUS. So very ominous indeed.

Episode Tens cryptogram is the best so far:
SORRY, DIPPER, BUT YOUR WENDY IS IN ANOTHER CASTLE.

:smallbiggrin:

[Dr.Epic]

Man, I loved the video game episode, but it should have had some modern VG references, like Team Fortress 2.:smallwink:

Dipper could be the Scout, Mable could be the Pyro, Soos could be the Heavy, and Gruncle Stan could be the Spy. Think of the potential!:smalltongue:

I'm seeing Dipper as an engineer, personally. Manly Dan could be the heavy, if we're allowing non-main characters. Wendy is totes the Sniper, though.

[Dr.Epic]

But Manly Dan is a secondary character, and Dipper as the engineer isn't nearly as hilarious.

[Tectonic Robot]

Well, I mentioned if we're allowing secondary characters. How else are we supposed to get the full nine classes?

Blendin Blandon may be better suited for an Engineer, actually. 'Dunno. But Manly Dan is probs best Heavy. Soos could be the Demoman!

[Fiery Diamond]

Thank you thread. You introduced me to the show, which I watched all 10 episodes of in two days.

IT
IS
AWESOME

And it has super-catchy intro music. I love that intro.

The screenshot of the document mentioned the time-baby. Which then appeared in the future in the time-travel episode. :smallbiggrin:

Can't wait for the next episode.

[Candle Jack]

HA HA HA! This thread makes my shoulders bounce!

I haven't seen all of the episodes, but I've generally liked what I've seen. :smallbiggrin:

[Dr.Epic]

Well, I mentioned if we're allowing secondary characters. How else are we supposed to get the full nine classes?

Blendin Blandon may be better suited for an Engineer, actually. 'Dunno. But Manly Dan is probs best Heavy. Soos could be the Demoman!

I still see Soos as the Heavy: he has a similar build, in terms of facial features, I'd say he looks more alike, and I see Soos going the most crazy over a sandvich. Manly Dan I think would be better as the Soldier.

And speaking of Blandon, he needs to come back just so he can scream the word "UNACCEPTABLE!" and then throw someone in a dungeon for a million years. And then Manly Dan can turn into a magic dog and/or drunken robot.:smallwink:

Also, how many episodes can they get out of this show? I mean, Mable and Dipper are just there for the summer right? How many adventures can they go on in one summer? Or maybe I'm just over thinking this. Animated characters rarely seem to age or experience linear time. Look at how long Bart Simpson's been in the 4th grade.

Or maybe I'm just over thinking this. Animated characters rarely seem to age or experience linear time. Look at how long Bart Simpson's been in the 4th grade.

Apperently, the first two seasons are planned to last one summer. After that....

[Dr.Epic]

Apperently, the first two seasons are planned to last one summer. After that....

What? What happens? Are they moving to Gravity Falls or is the show ending? Do we switch protagonists? What?

[Pokonic]

They come back the next summer, probably. Or they move there. I dont know.:smallbiggrin:

[Dr.Epic]

Next summer? Like a time leap forward? So the kids will be old right? Will Dipper be sporting an awesome mustache?

As many adventures as Phineas and Ferb

[Tectonic Robot]

I still see Soos as the Heavy: he has a similar build, in terms of facial features, I'd say he looks more alike, and I see Soos going the most crazy over a sandvich. Manly Dan I think would be better as the Soldier.

Yeah, but the Heavy is tough, and Soos isn't tough. He's a gigantic marshmallow. And is Blandon played by the same dude who played Lemongrab?

Also, anyone else have ideas about who fits where?
As many adventures as Phineas and Ferb
Ehehehehehe true 'dat.

[Starbuck_II]

As many adventures as Phineas and Ferb

Will we get as many winning songs?
"Bow bow ow, it's what my baby said" is a great song.

[Dr.Epic]

You mean that one show with the two kids with horribly misshapen heads - one's a triangle and the other's an elongated rectangle with a square nose.

[Tectonic Robot]

You mean that one show with the two kids with horribly misshapen heads - one's a triangle and the other's an elongated rectangle with a square nose.

All cartoon characters have horribly mishappened heads! Just look at them in proportion to their bodies. Freakishly huge.

[Dr.Epic]

All cartoon characters have horribly mishappened heads! Just look at them in proportion to their bodies. Freakishly huge.

Yeah, but they at least resemble something that looks like the basic concept of a human skull. These kids have a TRIANGLE and an ELONGATED RECTANGLE for a head. Are they mutants or something? Because if they are that'd be pretty cool. They could go fight crime in a world that hates and fears them.

By that logic, Finn is a noseless mutant.:smalltongue:

Still looks far more human that those two.

Hate to bump this thread (I crack myself up sometimes!), but just thought the halloween episode was fantastic. Also, meet my new ringtone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2GxteX49d0).

[Dr.Epic]

YAY! BMO returns! And Soos ate the monster from Spirited Away.

[Tectonic Robot]

Summerween was pretty much great. So was Little Dipper. So cool...

[Dr.Epic]

Was that one kid that was dressed as a dummy voiced by the same guy who did Aang in Avatar? I know he only had like 4 lines, but that kid sounded just like Aang.

What's with this show and taking a long time to get new episodes out?

It's not the only show that keeps doing this. New season of Green Lantern TAS only just started, and episode 3 has been postponed until March. Tron: Uprising was postponed for months and is only starting up again at the end of month.

[Tectonic Robot]

When is the new episode coming out ahhhhhhhhhh

[Bryn]

Wikipedia says (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Gravity_Falls_episodes) November 2.

[Tectonic Robot]

Bryn, fancy seeing you here. :D

[CthulhuEatYou]

What's with this show and taking a long time to get new episodes out?

First season, and Disney hates cartoons.

[Dr.Epic]

First season, and Disney hates cartoons.

Well it is a shame for whatever the reason. The animation is really good, it's genuinely funny and entertaining, and it has half-hour episodes unlike most other current TV animated shows that are only 15 minutes.

[Tectonic Robot]

November 2nd... did... did the episode come out already? @.@

[kpenguin]

Nope. Programming issues are pushing back Boss Mabel to TBD

[Bryn]

Looking through its history, apparently that Wikipedia page has had unsourced information and badly-formatted rumours added repeatedly, and apparently it got me... I think the release date isn't known yet.

[Candle Jack]

Too bad.

Now, who wants to put on blindfolds and get into my car?

[kpenguin]

Looking through its history, apparently that Wikipedia page has had unsourced information and badly-formatted rumours added repeatedly, and apparently it got me... I think the release date isn't known yet.

Alex Hirsch's twitter seems to corroborate that the release date being up in the air is indeed the case.

[Dr.Epic]

Seriously? This stinks. The best (and only good show currently on) Disney Channel, and they make new episodes sporadic and few. Seriously! What the crap!?:smallannoyed:

[Tectonic Robot]

So water we going to do while we wait? I don't sea any option other then make ocean puns at Mable's level of skill. I'm really rather frond of this idea. I hope it doesn't make me any anenomies.

Yeah, but seriously. ;_;

Gravity Falls is way way better, but D w/ B is entertaining to some degree.

[SiuiS]

No idea what your guys' spoiler policy is but

watched the first episode again. It has the time traveler in it, behind the gnome golem.

Well, I'd say its far and away long enough that that's not much of spoiler in this thread. Also

Alex Hirsch has recently stated (https://twitter.com/_AlexHirsch/status/276383121883160576) that new episodes are coming in early 2013. I'm glad the show is still alive. I discovered it this Wednesday and have already watched every episode.

I'm pretty sure that show is called the Thundercats.

[BRC]

So...Boss Mabel. A Passable Episode, not spectacular.

[Jayngfet]

So...Boss Mabel. A Passable Episode, not spectacular.

It was hampered by the status quo more than anything.

I mean, Stan can't actually learn a passable lesson, and you knew the bet would fail as soon as the terms were set.

I'm kind of pissed to be honest, if only because it implies that Stan's dishonest, moneygrubbing ideals are the only way to run a buisness. Instead of Wendy being terrible, Dipper not settling for something small like gnomes, and Soos not having anything more to the costume than just the foam bits.

[BRC]

Not necessarily. The "Loser" Shirt was a SHIRT. Mabel characteristically wears Sweaters over her shirts. She could spend the rest of the season wearing the Loser shirt, and nobody would notice.

[Diego Havoc]

Well, I quite enjoyed it. Got some good laughs from me. Especially "You've become your father". :smallbiggrin:

[Dr.Epic]

I didn't watch the new episode. I am saddened by this.:smallfrown:

[Tectonic Robot]

It already came out???

Arglefargle I thought it was out on the fifteenth what is this

[Jahkaivah]

Is this a new show or something? I think I vaguely remember hearing something about it a while back. Anyhow I just watched the latest episode and I have to say it is pretty entertaining.

Yeah, I'm surprised Dipper could catch it but was scared of it after releasing it. Did he lose his courage?

I took it as that Stans dishonest, moneygrubbing ways are the only way to run the Mistery Shack.

[Flickerdart]

Yeah, I'm surprised Dipper could catch it but was scared of it after releasing it. Did he lose his courage?
He probably caught it with an elaborate trap that took hours to set up, and wasn't really an option in a pinch...or found it sleeping and threw a sack over it. Either way.

[Diego Havoc]

I saw Bottomless Pit. Was a good, fun episode. Plenty of good old-fashioned Gravity Falls weirdness. :smallbiggrin:

So... is this any good...?

Disclaimer - I tried to watch two episodes, but animation seems uneven, backgrounds though very nice don't fit characters, and the plots seemed trivial/clichéd.

Is it just me (and my currently bad) mood and series gets better later, or is it just not for me? :smallfrown:
