 * TV Kids: How did Total Drama Daycare come about?
 * Jennifer Pertsch: Cartoon Network wanted to keep it going. They said, it's ten years later, we're looking at a different generation of viewers, we want to age it down a little bit. So they came to us and said, think outside the box. We thought, we're always pushing logic out the back window, let's push it all the way out and make a prequel! We can age our cast down and put them all in daycare. We couldn't believe how many stories we had to work with. Who knew there was so much drama in daycare? [Laughs] We took 11 favorites from our original cast and aged them down to 4. And then we added Jude from 6teen [another Fresh TV production], just to be crazy! We were still able to draw on their central character traits and mine tons of ridiculous stories. We eliminated the contests and structured it more like a workplace comedy. We kept the confessional. Every episode stems from one of the kids' wants or needs.


 * 'let's push logic all the way out and make a prequel!' stop.

 * 'And then we added Jude from 6teen [another Fresh TV production], just to be crazy!' yikes.

Don't TV execs know by now that thinking outside the box like that is a huge risk? Most viewers like familiarity so they feel comfortable watching something, especially with reality tv and/or episodic shows like Total Drama with a continuing season-long storyline each time. To throw that all out the window is one thing. But then to decide to do it after the show hasn't had any update in two and a half years is way too big of a risk to be likely to get a reward. I knew Cartoon Network had to get their grubby hands involved

And how can you have a confessional in a workplace comedy like this? Unless you're going for some mockumentary approach like The Office, this is so extra and makes no sense to be doing for a toddler show. Why are they even marketing this towards younger audiences? The average Total Drama fan is older than that so if anything, they should be pointing to an older demographic. Urgh just tell us if there's going to be a new Total Drama or even Ridonculous Race season already.
