maybe it was too ambitious at the time or maybe the character designs were too complicated ? i really cant think of why either :\ its so sad though because all the characters are so sick and i love the rat dudes expressions
How does a cartoon with such a FLAWLESSLY animated freaking PILOT, and a High class voice cast, all ready in the dam pilot, not get the green light?!?! For god sakes, it's a wonderful throw back to the cartoons of old on cartoon network style wise with a modern flair. The fact CN didn't okay this show is a bloody TRAVESTY!
that came after the turn down. ZTV made the video as a homage to the series...... DON'T FUCKING JUDGE ME FOR KNOWING THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS!!!!! good animation is good animation, even if it is, creepy ass smut
You know considering Nickelodeon in recent years is working a lot with nostalgic properties, I think the fact that this Pilot has a decent cult following and it wouldn't really cost them anything, it's like a reboot of an original property.
I feel sorry for the rat. He’s actually surprisingly capable. He stole the eye, uncovered the double agent, and even got the eye back to base while being pursued. If it wasn’t for how unhinged his boss was, the eye would’ve been secured. He gets abused by pretty much everybody. I think he should just quit working for the baron and start his own criminal organization. He’d probably surpass the baron’s achievements pretty quickly.
That’s the average boss and employee dynamic tbh. They act like the company couldn’t survive without them but when it comes down to it they don’t know how to do any work
I had a dream where this became a full-fledged movie, and I got tickets for it. I was so happy The Modifiers got adapted as a movie, and now I was ready to see what was gonna happen. Then I woke up.
Why is it that: A. People are still replying to this 10 YEAR OLD COMMENT, 1. Crap shows last forever, 2. Good shows last a short while, and 3. Amazing shows never make it past the pilot?!
Trash shows are cheap to make, good shows are expensive. And if you're a company that's profit focused you'll maximize your profit by cutting down as much on expenses as possible. And kids will really just watch anything, that's just how kids are including how you were.
This project is a great example of tremendous potencial loss, because of blind Nickelodeon executives. It really deserved a full length show. Rest in peace Chris Reccardi.
2007-2009, in general, was mostly the downfall for television animation. Like a bunch of cartoons (especially the classics) were either getting cancelled or just ended (like Space Goofs, Kids Next Door, Making Fiends, I Got A Rocket, Billy and Mandy, Foster's Home, Tutenstein, Atomic Betty, The Replacements, etc.) Not to mention that alot of cartoon fans noticed that 2007 was the start of networks pulling off a bunch of 20th century cartoons in favor of the "more recent" ones. Like Looney Tunes was officially pulled off the air in 2007 and wouldn't return to television until 2009.
Hah, if you've seen the track record Nick has had with cartoons you should know that proposing a pilot to them is a death sentence. Even giving them your show will kill it, just look at Making Fiends.
@@cooldud7071 Like I've said. This was made when alot of networks were having problems with the classics, which led them to be cancelled. Not to mention, killing off the hand drawn *thick-line* style by late 2009 (except for the Hartman cartoons). Remember CN Real? It led Cartoon Network kill off alot of their 2000s shows (with the exception of the Ben 10 franchise) in favor of more live-action.
@@kootunesscrewy Or they got 'rebooted' with lazy and cheap looking animation. It's not cheap but it certainly looks it. Such as Rugrats where they changed characters such as the grandfather being a hippy for no reason. Then they made one of the mothers into a lesbian because the newest writer saw her as one even through she merely spoke up for herself.
People are complaining about ZONE's parody of this but think of it like this, if it weren't for ZONE's parody, not as many people would know about this show. Hell, lots of cartoons now were pilots FOR YEARS before they got their own series.
Can I ask you mate, witch cartoon pilots got there show after years ? I want the name of the cartoon and when the pilot was shown and when did the show started. I await your reply.
Aight Newgrounds and other obvious stuff aside, this is a series that had a lot potential. It's really entertaining and the entire vibe of the show is very appealing.
AkemiTheTimeTraveler agreed. I would rather lacy shadows be a real character and not a persona, but all well. I liked it. I'm sad it didn't get picked up by anyone.
Flynt Coal Probably, but some of the artistic design reminds me a lot of Fairly Odd Parents, so if they did pick it up they might've been accused of stepping on their toes. Plus this pilot was made in 2007, so it would've been just before Cartoon Network started to get really good again, and most likely wasted as a result.
Nathan Howard I'm picking up design elements from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and Flapjack (terrible show) too, which leads me to believe that this would have fit in with the rest of their line up.
Why didn't this show get picked up!? The style, the music, everything is great. Sure, the jokes could use some work, but look how much promise is here! The excellent 60s mod music, the fantastic character designs, that wonderful homage in the style to the psychedelic period...everything about this was so original! We've been robbed!
It says that Nick thought that shows with females as the main characters wouldn't have a chance, they were not popular, they were failed etc. That's just dumb.
There is still hope,I sent a message to Chris Reccardi *the creator* and told me that a redeveloped version has been sent to 2 mayor feature studios and a third is in process.we still have HOPE
If this had existed 20 years ago, Nickelodeon would have picked it up in a heartbeat. The humor is enjoyable, the artwork has charmingly anachronistic, and the characters are very unique. But there is one option if none of the major networks like the Hub pick it up: Hulu. Make it a Hulu original series. House of Cards, Orange is the New Black, and RWBY have proved that Internet-only programming is profitable and high quality. If not Hulu, the Internet is a big place, and the comments section shows there would be no shortage of individuals who would pay to watch it.
Really, Nickelodeon? You passed this up because you were afraid that shows with female protagonists wouldn't be watched? Maybe if you had more shows with female protagonists, you'd get your audience back.
Yeah I don't get it, I thought they past shows with female protagonists are good, but I doubt it would make a difference, it's the quality of their shows that are the problem
That's probably not the reason why. It might be, because the animation style, it's not as colorfully as their other shows. And it's not the show type of story as the other shows, it actually has a plot and is not filled with dumb jokes.
No, that's been confirmed the case. Both Nick and Cartoon Network have had a history of canning shows that appealed to girls and had girl protags before.
Actually they canned it because they weren't getting the expected amount of money from it so they stopped so the could claim more tax on it or something ( basically they are greedy idiots)
Goodness, chris reccardi and Craig McCracken is just a perfect duo of creating such a masterpiece like THIS! Shame on Nickelodeon for not greenlighting this wonderful show!
This would've had the chance of being every 2000s kid (including my older sister) favorite childhood cartoon. Hopefully, this cartoon would be recognized by a good animation studio that's willing to greenlight this pilot cuz it's so wonderful

Ok,this should have been made into a genuine series. Shapeshifting spies? That stuffs genius. Also somehow the art style reminds me of Mad Magazine in parts.
I'm in love with this artstyle, but i don't like the MAD Magazines since they sometimes show gross stuff and the artstyle looks a bit inappropriate.. 😅 (My opinion)
Really, the creators should have made a internet series or something. I believe it is a crime to make such an beautiful and amazing show such as this, and only release the pilot.
+Greg Universe The creators (Lynne Naylor and Chris Reccardi) were geniuses. The worked on many cartoon shows of the 80's, including, but not limited to: Ren&Stimpy, the Powerpuff Girls, Samurai Jack, Animaniacs, Chowder, and Tiny Toons. They were writers, artists, designers,animators, and in Reccardi's case, a musician and composer(including the theme of Ren&Stimpy!). They truly deserve their own series. P.S., You're welcome for the biographies.
I love this concept and I can tell in the comments there's still a demand for this show to still become a full series, but sadly, that will likely never happen now. The show's creator Chris Reccardi tragically passed away from a heart attack in 2019.
I miss these style of shows. I know this one never aired but it had the same vibes of The cartoons from it's time. I feel like there aren't any cartoons coming out today that just speak Saturday morning cartoon. Shows perfect to watch before going to school and perfect for watching while eating cereal in your pajamas especially on the weekends. Feels like shows nowadays are being made to be binged and not watched episodically. And I get it this is a new era that's equally as good but I'll always have a soft spot for these cartoons due to my childhood. Wish this one got made, I would've watched it alot growing up.
8bitPuppy What is with that logic? Wouldn't more viewers (girls, boys, trans, whatever) work in their favor? There's sexism... and then there's stupidity. Wait, sexism is stupid already...
I love the villain, he's awesome, the girl is cute but the robot is annoying, I'd like to see a Billy and Mandy type duo for the protagonists, and capitalize on dark humor surrounding the main villain
+Trenton Bless (Wrestlemania489) Nick prefers Fanboy and Chum Chum. I wish Cartoon Network did something about it. They saved Adventure Time, and it is one of the main cartoons they have nowadays. The Modifyers could present itself as a huge success too.
To be honest, this show has really caught my eye. You could root for either end, and still be satisfied with the end result. To be fair, I was sided with the rat, and a satisfying conclusion was still achieved.
I’m an adult now and this looked like it could have been a decent show. It would of been a better fit for Cartoon Network. I be feeling sorry for these writers to put their all into these cartoons just for them to not make the cut.😭
Nick executive: "Hey! A pilot with great animation, story, humor, and characters! Should we give this a series?" Idiot in charge of programming: "Nah. Let's just make more cartoons about butt jokes and milk SpongeBob for the umpteenth time!"
Why has no one picked this up yet? It has interesting characters, the premise is interesting, the setting is interesting, and it even has some good humor.
Nickelodeon rejected this and Adventure Time, yet greenlights Breadwinners, a 4 1/2 minute long low-grade animation that has barely over 100k views on youtube and was only shown in a bar in New York. Nickelodeon needs to die, and take Viacom with it.
Now this could have made a really great show. I mean Agent Xero and Mole are very likable characters and to quote Mr Enter they actually have opposing goals which is very rare in any type of show. People, this needs to be a show.
Right when it was starting to get good the show was cancelled Her Ring is now in the villains clutches And there's no telling if she's ever going to get it back And that really sucks
This looks great. The animation, the humor, and I loved the villain, he looks like a mix between Voldemort and Dracula and he is very funny, he doesn't take anything seriously.
Honestly this show is for everyone, the British humor, the silly jokes, the music, the characters. Like holy shit the characters, I would buy all of the merchandise tbh like this speaks to me on a cosmic level.
***** True, but seeing the retarded decisions they've made so far I don't think they'll want to pick it up. I'd rather see it on the hub, cartoon network, I don't care where. I just want to see it.
***** Yes I know! It was fantastic. Personally my favorite was Lacey Shadows. Xero's persona. I love the accent. P.S. whoever made the porn parody is a disgrace to everything this show is.
Cartoon network: Adventure time and Regular show Disney channel: Gravity falls and Wonder over yonder Nick: TMNT (2012) and.....Nothing else Modifyers could compete with the likes of Adventure time and gravity falls but some drunken employees choosed fan boy and chum chum over this. there should be a reboot of this.
Sad this will mainly be known for Zone's flash of it. That said it seems like a show that a decent and unique artstyle but, I guess it didn't do enough for Nick.
@@Nutnutkunisaki Yeah Like Kim Possible Gravity Falls Pokemon Disney Dragon Ball Z Etc Etc The Lists Go On But However It Does Not Mean Those P0rn Made For Those Cartoons Killed It Including This One
How is it fair that this got rejected by Nickelodeon while Breadwinners got greenlit and got multiple seasons? If you ask me, Nickelodeon does not know what is a good show and what isn't, they just greenlight whatever the hell they feel is good for their channel, even if the show they greenlit actually had negative reviews! Keep in mind that this show is created by Chris Reccardi. Yeah, the Chris Reccardi that also created Meddlen Meadows, which, you guessed it, was also rejected! Only it wasn't Nickelodeon who rejected it, Cartoon Network did! In other words, Chris Reccardi created two shows, both on different networks, only to be given the middle finger by both networks, and have both shows rejected! R.I.P. Chris Reccardi, you will always be remembered.
Xeire Yeah but they would rather throw out a bunch of trashy reality shows then make a high quality animated show. It all comes down to money unfortunately.
A salute to the British 60s spy tv shows like Adam Adamant Lives! and The Avengers. Even though it's 17 years old, it's got the right vibe. The steampunk scenes nailed it just right! Love the art style. Boo to Nickelodeon for turning it down. Too bad The Modifyers wasn't made into a series--a wasted opportunity. Rest in Peace, Chris Reccardi 😊😸❤💜🇬🇧🇬🇧📺
Remember, in an alternate universe somewhere, this show is a core memory for legions of quirky 2000s kids.

+That someone not true or fair to accuse that but they were holes about it
I miss these style of shows. I know this one never aired but it had the same vibes of The cartoons from it's time. I feel like there aren't any cartoons coming out today that just speak Saturday morning cartoon. Shows perfect to watch before going to school and perfect for watching while eating cereal in your pajamas especially on the weekends. Feels like shows nowadays are being made to be binged and not watched episodically. And I get it this is a new era that's equally as good but I'll always have a soft spot for these cartoons due to my childhood. Wish this one got made, I would've watched it alot growing up.
Person one: im here because of zonetan.
Person two: am i the only one here not from porn?
Person three: pan pizza sent me.

This needs to become a thing....
Well, Adventure Time started out similarly...
Not to get too optimistic.
+matt0044 CN said they didn't want it because apparently it'd attract a girl audience...
8bitPuppy What is with that logic? Wouldn't more viewers (girls, boys, trans, whatever) work in their favor? There's sexism... and then there's stupidity.
Wait, sexism is stupid already...
@@matt0044 what's funny is that they did do a female-centered show and it was hot garbage... They should've token this when they had the chance.
Zamalie Nick not cn... yes ik this is 5 years later
This pilot deserves a show!
Whelp...that sucks. "To be continued..." NOT.
I love the villain, he's awesome, the girl is cute but the robot is annoying, I'd like to see a Billy and Mandy type duo for the protagonists, and capitalize on dark humor surrounding the main villain
He is even creepier in The Modifkrs haha
@@evanruiza7x lol
I can't believe they didn't make this a series. That girl could have turned out to be an awesome fighter!
Man they should have made this into a show
This should have been a series. I watch the pilot and wonder why it was never greenlit.
+Trenton Bless (Wrestlemania489) Nick prefers Fanboy and Chum Chum. I wish Cartoon Network did something about it. They saved Adventure Time, and it is one of the main cartoons they have nowadays. The Modifyers could present itself as a huge success too.
+Arthur Viana Guess what? Cartoon Network ACTUALLY picked up the Modifyers...only to drop it afterwards.
+imthinkinwacky wait waaaa no way....why they do this
Too much information, that's why?
i watch this from time to time and my god. this pilot has SO MUCH potential to become a show. 😭♡💕
To be honest, this show has really caught my eye. You could root for either end, and still be satisfied with the end result. To be fair, I was sided with the rat, and a satisfying conclusion was still achieved.
I’m an adult now and this looked like it could have been a decent show. It would of been a better fit for Cartoon Network. I be feeling sorry for these writers to put their all into these cartoons just for them to not make the cut.😭
I've seen this one before... Somewhere
This was just recommended to me, guess I'm lucky
Nick executive: "Hey! A pilot with great animation, story, humor, and characters! Should we give this a series?"
Idiot in charge of programming: "Nah. Let's just make more cartoons about butt jokes and milk SpongeBob for the umpteenth time!"
i love early 2000s animation style. its so peak
This show better make a comeback with the same exact amount of quality.
Same it caught my 19 year old attention
Never seen this till now and I love it.
Same with it got green lit
The studio thought Tuff Puppy had more potential, but to be honest this should've been green lit
Y’all remember that lost episode with the tentacles 😳
Thats what I thought this was gonna be, I was shook.
That’s not a lost episode… 😭
moar like adult episode 😏
Lost episode of what?
@@handsomerob1223 The animated porn version 😂
Why has no one picked this up yet? It has interesting characters, the premise is interesting, the setting is interesting, and it even has some good humor.
Nickelodeon rejected this and Adventure Time, yet greenlights Breadwinners, a 4 1/2 minute long low-grade animation that has barely over 100k views on youtube and was only shown in a bar in New York. Nickelodeon needs to die, and take Viacom with it.
Art like this is what fuels my conviction to build a self supporting community that doesn’t rely on out of touch exects with no foresight.
Now this could have made a really great show. I mean Agent Xero and Mole are very likable characters and to quote Mr Enter they actually have opposing goals which is very rare in any type of show. People, this needs to be a show.
Yep, AND...they had a plot that could have made countless seasons & It could have involved into something big...

ThtGuyYouKnow no not that,
anything but nick
ThtGuyYouKnow People might've taken this petition seriously if it weren't horribly misspelled and full of awful grammar.
We know why we're here...
Right when it was starting to get good the show was cancelled
Her Ring is now in the villains clutches
And there's no telling if she's ever going to get it back
And that really sucks
There’s just something about the art style that I just adore I wish this show never got cancelled
It reminds me of Evil Con Carne.
If there is a complete full episodes of the show I would love it.

@@PoggerBee something is wrong with the comment section
This could have been an awesome part of my childhood :(
This looks great. The animation, the humor, and I loved the villain, he looks like a mix between Voldemort and Dracula and he is very funny, he doesn't take anything seriously.
This pilot not getting a full series is what caused Chrises death.
I love Lacey's english accent!
yo también!
It's so cute!
+Malachite Toxic \
Reminds me of Tracer from Overwatch
PARAMOTH You're right omg
This will surprise some ppl. The voice actor for Lacey is the same voice actress that did kataras voice in avatar the last airbender.
Honestly this show is for everyone, the British humor, the silly jokes, the music, the characters. Like holy shit the characters, I would buy all of the merchandise tbh like this speaks to me on a cosmic level.
They REALLY should have picked up this one. Also lewd
Plot twist: Zone ends up with a good VA crew and ends up making a whole fan show from this.
This show looks sooo good. Why the hell wasn't it greenlit?
***** :'( well it's a damn shame.
***** I was really interested in the story. Hey you should sign the petition to bring it back on change.org
***** yeah. I wonder if any other network would want to pick this up.
***** True, but seeing the retarded decisions they've made so far I don't think they'll want to pick it up. I'd rather see it on the hub, cartoon network, I don't care where. I just want to see it.
***** Yes I know! It was fantastic. Personally my favorite was Lacey Shadows. Xero's persona. I love the accent.
P.S. whoever made the porn parody is a disgrace to everything this show is.
I was wondering what that Zone-Tan animation was parodying!
I really hate how the stupid porn parody of this is more popular than the actual thing.
for some reason that is so true its amazing how porn can make anything better lol NPI
***** lol came...
Joe Aguilera haha good one
The porn was awesome.
anthony15601 yes you right it was frincing hilarius
Cartoon network: Adventure time and Regular show
Disney channel: Gravity falls and Wonder over yonder
Nick: TMNT (2012) and.....Nothing else
Modifyers could compete with the likes of Adventure time and gravity falls but some drunken employees choosed fan boy and chum chum over this.
there should be a reboot of this.
or invader zim
smurfcatsLollies or hey Arnold
Hey Arnold was the shit I have the movie on tape
For cartoon network you forgot power puff girls now that was the shit back in the day I really hope they don't fuck up the remake
Just randomly got it in my recommended and I feel like I found a time capsule. A very cool one too, love the artstyle
This cartoon's style is phenomenal... It's a real shame it didn't continue.
Sad this will mainly be known for Zone's flash of it. That said it seems like a show that a decent and unique artstyle but, I guess it didn't do enough for Nick.
***** Well that's awfully lame.
Crazy how this video is how i found out there was an actual pilot for the Modifyers
Had to make sure I was on the right app for a min 😂😂😂
😂
You would think with all these streaming services that they would finally make a show like this, but they never really did
Really wish this became an actual show. I absolutely LOVE the animation on this one!
This needs to be given a second chance and made into a show!
NO chance. Not now that theres parody porn of it now. They woupdnt dare touch it now.

I really love the artstyle of this show
How is it fair that this got rejected by Nickelodeon while Breadwinners got greenlit and got multiple seasons? If you ask me, Nickelodeon does not know what is a good show and what isn't, they just greenlight whatever the hell they feel is good for their channel, even if the show they greenlit actually had negative reviews!
Keep in mind that this show is created by Chris Reccardi. Yeah, the Chris Reccardi that also created Meddlen Meadows, which, you guessed it, was also rejected! Only it wasn't Nickelodeon who rejected it, Cartoon Network did! In other words, Chris Reccardi created two shows, both on different networks, only to be given the middle finger by both networks, and have both shows rejected!
R.I.P. Chris Reccardi, you will always be remembered.
I've seen the alternative version of this pilot and it's quite different.
Why!
Wasn't!
This!
Made!
Into!
A!
Show?!
i think of many reasons but i'll let you decide that with nick and there constant need of reality shows
Xeire Unfortunately reality shows cost less money.
But it isn't really going anywhere for them
Xeire Yeah but they would rather throw out a bunch of trashy reality shows then make a high quality animated show. It all comes down to money unfortunately.
It's because it had a female protagonist. Not of outright sexism, but other shows with female leads didn't do very well at the time.
A salute to the British 60s spy tv shows like Adam Adamant Lives! and The Avengers.
Even though it's 17 years old, it's got the right vibe.
The steampunk scenes nailed it just right! Love the art style. Boo to Nickelodeon for turning it down. Too bad The Modifyers wasn't made into a series--a wasted opportunity.
Rest in Peace, Chris Reccardi
