I guess Cartoon Network didn't want another SpongeBob-like show since this was made around the time Camp Lazlo ended production. With that being said, I really wish this was greenlit too, it would've been so amazing seeing this air with Chowder and Flapjack
Very nice sound design by Spongebob's Jeff Hutchins! This includes, of course, many of his signature sound effects he designed for that show; this pilot's facility is both Sabre Media and Hacienda Post, which are next door to each other. #soundmatters

Stephen Hillenburg the Writer, Director, Producer for Rocko’s Modern Life And Creator of SpongeBob SquarePants also work on this pilot as a writer, so the humor of SpongeBob definitely shows here.
To be honest, I found this pilot too fast paced and obnoxious, even if the masterminds behind the old spongebob episodes worked on this. Honestly, I just think that we should have been spent more time with character interactions in this pilot, the most we got was wagger annoying the commander with his general incompetence, which comes of as more of a lazy choice to add some kind of forced conflict and makes me think each episode would just be a tired repeat of this pilot's plot. I found the main character just as annoying as the commander did, which is NEVER a good thing if you want me to root for the protagonist, and his fast way of speaking didn't do him any favors either. I think a good pilot gives you a great sense of who you'll spend the most time with in each episode, giving each character a moment to shine so we get a broad idea of the kind of fun interactions we'll get, and deliver each moment in the pilot with thoughtful delivery and pacing. In my opinion, this story failed on all fronts, because we mostly focuse on wagger and everyone else save for the commander feel like a minor interaction with no clever jokes or gags to play off their personalities, and we end up getting something incredibly stale and tired feeling as a result. I could not tell you how much I wanted to like this pilot, based soley on writing credits alone, but in the end, the whole thing failed to make me crack a smile, only many deep sighs of wondering when it would end.
I guess it's supposed to be a subversion of the chosen one/perfect main character trope but I don't see a lot of perfect chosen ones so it's not usually funny or interesting on it's own
@ecrivonlunyx Agreed, without a Good Twist, the Subversion itself just ISN'T that Funny or Clever! In Fact, Diggs himself is a Good Example as to why a Twist is needed, cause while him getting a Job on the Ship was an Obvious Mistake, he still gains a place in it by being Passionate & Pretty Good at serving the Galactic Rovers Coffee. It just that Diggs also wants to do more than just that Singular Job, which is easy to root for.
Hard agree. A shame that this didn’t get the greenlight, would’ve fared better if some other networks picked it up if given the chance though. (also hi from one bee to another!! o/)
Same, I wish we knew why Cartoon Network rejected it. I mean come on, it was made by one of the most pivotal people on SpongeBob's crew, how could you possibly pass it up???? Would've been so great seeing this air with Chowder and Flapjack
I’ll do anything to have this pilot picked up I couldn’t stop watching this pilot when I fully watched it and Alex Kirwan does a great job at designs as always Also #RIPStephenHillenburg
I mean if you really think about it, all of the crew for this pilot for the most part, with the exception of Hillenburg, worked on Phineas & Ferb and Camp Lazlo for Disney and Cartoon Network respectively as well. Also Nickelodeon Studios is credited here as where it was recorded so it’s possible that this was pitched at Nickelodeon which is why so many SpongeBob alumni worked on it.
Why are there three voice actors credited for Diggs? If there were actually three different people doing different lines, they must have done a really good job, because I didn't notice at all. Also, it's so cool that Tom Wilson is in this!
(Gasped) Stephen Hillenburg the creator of SpongeBob SquarePants Writter,Storyboard,Director,Creative Producer and Creative Director of Rocko’s Modern Life 🥺😭😭😭😭😭🤧 RIP 🪦 Stephen Hillenburg

So apparently Nick is going to pick this up...I don't really want that; I want to use Diggs in my crossover, and if Nick gets it, that means Viacom gets it...

Was this picked up by anyone? Because if I like it now, I think I would've a kid... If this was on Cartoon Network I don't remember it, which sucks. Also loove the voice acting :)
THE Berrby Well, the pilot was first originally pitched to Nickelodeon and has been given the greenlit as well at that time (with Super Scout, another cartoon pilot for The Mighty B!), but unfortunately this one never came to fruition without any reason given before passing it to CN.
I think it was pitched to CN first, but CN rejected it in 2007. Then a few years later, Nickelodeon saw the pilot around 2009 and greenlit it beside the Mighty B. However, that did never come to fruition. I could see why, they probably chose CN first because this pilot just screams "Spongebob ripoff". A lot of the production crew came from Spongebob, too, so they knew the craft. Since CN didn't have a show like it, this would have been an interesting choice for them. However, with Nick, they already have, well, Spongebob itself. I assume thats why DT got greenlit but then got stuck in indefinite limbo. The Nick execs figured it out, lol.
@@likeanyonecaresabouthandles idk Nickelodeon has greenlit tons of SpongeBob knockoffs I doubt that's why this failed. It's just a project that didn't happen to go anywhere. Happens sometimes.
Man, I have anhedonia and I haven't enjoyed an episode of a series for a long time, but I found this pilot really entertaining. WHY didn't Cartoon Network greenlit this 😭😭😭, this pilot is MUCH better than most of Cartoon Network's today cartoons 😮💨. What a terrible decision on the part of the channel, smh. We need to sign a petition or something.
If this had became a full series, Spongebob would've been cancelled, because Paul Tibbit and Kent Osborne wouldn't have had time to work on Spongebob if they worked on Diggs Tailwagger
@@iidragonflyiiAnimations To me, it feels like a whole conversion that I can't even explain for myself. There is much of the SpongeBob team in this, so that might be true.
I kinda won an actual show with this. Cartoon Network but I don’t think it will happen since Cartoon Network is mainly focusing more on Teen Titans go nowadays
I wish that this show had a second chance today, the humor and the timing is too good
R.I.P. Stephen Hillenburg. The real Comedy King 😢
This could’ve been a real fun show. A shame most pilots like these didn’t get picked up
I love it when some spongebob crews make their own show using music from spongebobs
Damn it's a shame that this didn't get picked up. It would have been awesome to grow up with this.

merriwether williams, kaz AND drymon?! thats the dream team right there
_ Dude I know right? Drymon was the mastermind behind old spongebob humor and it really shows in the pilot.

Craig McCraken was also an executive creative consult for this pilot.
The coffee lap gag actually got Me lol
It seems that for some reason it is common for these pilots to have the main character only be important because of a mistake.
I guess it's supposed to be a subversion of the chosen one/perfect main character trope but I don't see a lot of perfect chosen ones so it's not usually funny or interesting on it's own
@ecrivonlunyx Agreed, without a Good Twist, the Subversion itself just ISN'T that Funny or Clever!

I can see a lot of Spongebob's influence
Definitely with the goofiness of the main character and some of the stock music used
Kaz, one of the main creators, wrote for SpongeBob and Phineas and Ferb
Also Derek Drymon did too
And the sound director from SpongeBob was on here too
I see a lot of mighty B in this too!
This needs to be a real show
On nick
@@simtrainertoyslayerextras4811Nick already have a show in space

R.I.P. Stephen.
This is honestly one of the best pilots for a show I've ever seen. I would have 100% watched this if it got picked up back then
Hard agree. A shame that this didn’t get the greenlight, would’ve fared better if some other networks picked it up if given the chance though.
(also hi from one bee to another!! o/)
@@saad1996sa Have you ever seen "Dogs in Space"?
Same, I wish we knew why Cartoon Network rejected it. I mean come on, it was made by one of the most pivotal people on SpongeBob's crew, how could you possibly pass it up???? Would've been so great seeing this air with Chowder and Flapjack
holy shit, right after the title card, the music is the exact same as that late for meeting video that was viral like 10 years ago
I lost my shit when that robot suddenly started dribbling the garbage 🤣🤣🤣
The music in the coffee scene is from No Weenies Allowed
Cartoon World 2.0 Actually some of Jean Jaques work
I meant on the scene when the commander was giving Diggs his backpack, the music is from No Weenies Allowed.
Nacho Bear Well of course, the pilot was made by Derek Drymon who was the head writer for spongebob from Season 1-3.
It is actually from the UA-cam video named “late for meeting.”
I’ll do anything to have this pilot picked up
I couldn’t stop watching this pilot when I fully watched it
and Alex Kirwan does a great job at designs as always
Also #RIPStephenHillenburg
Well,this was pretty good.
this actually looks nice
you can tell it’s the same makers as spongebob. same humour.
At 27 years old, I wanna watch more of this
It reminds me of,
-Family Guy (Peter)
-SpongeBob
-Ren & Stimpy
It’s odd seeing the Spongebob team create something for Cartoon Network.
I mean if you really think about it, all of the crew for this pilot for the most part, with the exception of Hillenburg, worked on Phineas & Ferb and Camp Lazlo for Disney and Cartoon Network respectively as well. Also Nickelodeon Studios is credited here as where it was recorded so it’s possible that this was pitched at Nickelodeon which is why so many SpongeBob alumni worked on it.
Fun Fact: Most of those people worked for SpongeBob, previously worked for Ren and Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life and CatDog. That includes the creator.
If you grew up with Camp Lazlo, it's not that odd. Lots of the SpongeBob crew from the pre-movie era worked on that show
So, THIS is what the OG SpongeBob Crew were making after the 1st SB Movie...
Overall, GOOD Cartoon Pilot! Got that SpongeBob/Rocko Charm.
I appreciate the use of Jean-Jacques' music.
Way before spongebob used it
That was so good! Why this never got picked up is beyond me.
How did this not become a series; we were robbed.
Considering how this was made around the time Camp Lazlo was ending production, I guess Cartoon Network didn't want another SpongeBob-like show
0:29 Finally, this music is now from Spongebob.
@@ionymartins754 yeah is also playing in The Mighty B and SpongeBob SquarePants
@@regeansdubois6160Cuddles E. Hugs and Hairy Situation.
I would have loved it if this was an actull show
That mean captain dude sounds like the assassin fish from the Spongebob movie
Diamond Miner Animaniac Sounds more like the tattle tale strangler to me
Actually it’s “reg” from “no wieners allowed”
All four characters have the same voice actor.
RIP Stephen Hillenburg
I wish Nickelodeon followed through on giving this a full series. It’s so cute!
Thanks From Writer Of Rocko's Modern Life!
I want this show to come back so bad 😭
fr bruh why is it so funny 😭😭😭 this would have been such a cute niche show even if it was one season
This doesn't feel like a CN pilot, it's clearly more of a Nick pilot because of Derek Drymon!!!
I like how supportive Goody is towards Diggs, kinda makes me want to ship them.
This show look like it had some potential
Seems that this was originally for Nickelodeon but it got dropped and was completed in Cartoon Network but got rejected anyways
Why are there three voice actors credited for Diggs? If there were actually three different people doing different lines, they must have done a really good job, because I didn't notice at all. Also, it's so cool that Tom Wilson is in this!
Hillenburg and McCracken in the same credits. I’m on drugs, ain’t I?
Dogs in Space reminds me of this short. The main char parallels the character Garbage in DIS.
Really good. It’s a shame it was never made to an actual show
I don't know why i'm being recommended cartoon pilots all of a sudden but this is the rare occasion where UA-cam Algorithm understands my tastes.
It Sounded Like Dizzy Birds From Spongebob and The Patrick Star Show 11:11
(Gasped) Stephen Hillenburg the creator of SpongeBob SquarePants
Writter,Storyboard,Director,Creative Producer and
Creative Director of Rocko’s Modern Life 🥺😭😭😭😭😭🤧
RIP 🪦 Stephen Hillenburg
The commander sounds like hes going to scream “CHOCOLATE” in the beginning
The coffee laser scene is actually funny
That little dog fear
I really wish this became a full cartoon
There's certain things about this that make me think of Dogs in Space:
Pun-filled, funny space adventure-comedy with dogs, where everything that can go wrong does so, and the characters do take their jobs seriously but still are funny as heck
Startrek - inspired space adventures with dogs and canine-themed equipment
a smaller, intelligent, scrawny loyal friend dog sticking up for the incompetent hero (Goody/Chonies),
funny, hammy villains and his dime-a-dozen henchmen
the chubby, clumsy, starry-eyed, impulsive, overreactive, disasterprone, funloving mutt dreamer protagonist (Diggs Tailwagger/Captain Garbage) who often runs away most of the time but is a surprisingly capable fighter when really needed
and a senior authority who hates his guts and wants him put in his place (Commander Duke/Captain Happy)
So apparently Nick is going to pick this up...I don't really want that; I want to use Diggs in my crossover, and if Nick gets it, that means Viacom gets it...
But then again, if nick gets it, then at least they have an ok show on their channel for once
True, but...I dunno...it really feels like it'll be more at home with Disney XD.
Graphite Tail Grace True, nick doesn't deserve any good shows that they didn't make themselves
+Diamond Miner Animaniac so now there like stealing other pilots
then again it did say there name in the credits
Now we need the 2007 project gilroy pilot to leaked
it's weird to see something made by the spongebob crew that isn't spongebob
You know, i never understood why Frank Caliendo and Bill Chott are credited as part of the voice cast but without characters.
