==Plot==
==Plot==
In the small, old-fashioned community of Old Town, the Goodman family and their innocent and dimwitted 6-year-old son Tommy have a satanic [[border collie]] dog named Mr. Pickles. The two spend their days romping around Old Town, while unknown to Tommy, the family or anyone except for Tommy's grandfather, Mr. Pickles secretly slips away to kill and mutilate his countless victims. Mr. Pickles will often reassemble and resurrect his victims which then reside in his underground lair and do his bidding. Through his evil, murderous rampage against those that threaten his boy, get in his way or annoy him, Mr. Pickles brings some order to Old Town, which is otherwise riddled with crime in the face of the dimwitted [[sheriff]].
The series revolves around the Goodman family and their six-year-old son named Tommy (Kaitlyn Robrock), who spends most of his time with his best friend and the family's Border Collie, Mr. Pickles (Will Carsola). The two enjoy commuting from their home to the center of Old Town, an old-fashioned community being taken over by modern appliances. Together, they embark on classic adventures, although he and the rest of the town are oblivious to Mr. Pickles' secret streak of wickedness—one that drives him to "kill, mutilate and hump his victims."<ref name="Milligan 2014" />

The series is created by Will Carsola and Dave Stewart (of ''[[Funny or Die Presents]]'' fame) and executively produced by Michael Rizzo.<ref name="Milligan 2014" /> The series was one of several shows pitched to Adult Swim, according to the creators, who also operate under the name "Day by Day". Stewart recalled promoting it as a "one-line sentence", while Carsola remembered that it derived from a "write-off" session, where the two present ideas to each other in the form of scribbles for their amusement. Carsola explained that ideas in this process are released from the pressure "of them being good", occasionally finding "one that sticks".<ref name="Kutner 2014" /> They later explained at the 2014 [[San Diego Comic-Con International]] that the idea was about based on ''[[Lassie (1954 TV series)|Lassie]]'', but became "more of its own thing since then".<ref name="Begley 2014" />

Elaborating on its 11-minute running time, Carsola described it as a 22-minute show "squished" into a quarter hour.{{sfn|Zargari|Brunty|Davis|2013|loc=6:45–6:55}} Among the voices for the characters include [[Brooke Shields]],<ref name="Kutner 2014" /> [[Frank Collison]], [[Jay Johnston]] and Carsola and Stewart themselves.<ref name="Milligan 2014" /> Shields's role in the series came after looking at the creator's work for ''Funny or Die'' and obtaining the script for ''Mr. Pickles''. According to Carsola, the two were dubious over her interest in the series, but after being cast she provided lines in a recording booth in New York City while the creators supervised over [[Skype]].<ref name="Kutner 2014" />

The series has received mixed critical reception. Writing for ''Strange Kids Club'', Mat Spitkovsky stated the series' extreme content matter left him at a loss for words as well as confused. Afterwards, he found it lacking in "class, creativity and goddammit, originality" in the vein of ''[[Superjail!]]'', although its "brazen approach at crass offense ... all in good fun" was "kind of cool."<ref name="Spitkovsky 2014" /> Aaron Simpson of ''Cold Hard Flash'' called the series an amalgamation of ''[[Lassie (1954 TV series)|Lassie]]'' and ''Superjail!'', while observing some social commentary "to ensure this is more than just a multi-episodic sketch."<ref name="Simpson 2014" /> Mike Hale of ''[[The New York Times]]'' labeled it "the less tasteful but more mainstream" counterpart to ''[[Tim & Eric's Bedtime Stories]]'', another addition to the network.<ref name="Hale 2014" /> He wrote that the show was "more grisly than funny," but predicted it to have a cult following and that Shields' voice would add "surreal-pop-culture cachet".<ref name="Hale 2014" />

Mr. Pickles is an American adult animated horror comedy slasher series created by Will Carsola and Dave Stewart for Adult Swim. The series revolves around the Goodman family, especially their 6-year-old son named Tommy and the family's border collie dog, the satanic Mr. Pickles. The series aired from September 21, 2014, to November 18, 2019.[1][2][3]

The first episode of season 4 was a surprise series finale, replacing the show with a new spin-off series titled Momma Named Me Sheriff.[4]

Plot

[edit]

In the small, old-fashioned community of Old Town, the Goodman family and their innocent and dimwitted 6-year-old son Tommy have a satanic border collie dog named Mr. Pickles. The two spend their days romping around Old Town, while unknown to Tommy, the family or anyone except for Tommy's grandfather, Mr. Pickles secretly slips away to kill and mutilate his countless victims. Mr. Pickles will often reassemble and resurrect his victims which then reside in his underground lair and do his bidding. Through his evil, murderous rampage against those that threaten his boy, get in his way or annoy him, Mr. Pickles brings some order to Old Town, which is otherwise riddled with crime in the face of the dimwitted sheriff.

Production

[edit]

The series, which is animated using Adobe Flash,[5] was created by Will Carsola and Dave Stewart – known for Funny or Die Presents – and executive-produced by Will Carsola, Dave Stewart, and Michael J. Rizzo.[6] The series was one of several shows pitched to Adult Swim, according to the creators, who also operate under the name "Day by Day". Stewart recalled promoting it as a "one-line sentence", while Carsola remembered that it derived from a "write-off" session, where the two present ideas to each other in the form of scribbles for their amusement. Carsola explained that ideas in this process are released from the pressure "of them being good", occasionally finding "one that sticks".[7] They later explained at the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con that the idea was based on Lassie, but has become "more of its own thing since then."[8]

Stewart's own female Australian Cattle Dog[9] served as inspiration for the animators on the character of Mr. Pickles.[8] Stewart even pointed out similarities between her and the main character, and jokingly called her "Ms. Pickles".[8] Animation director Mike L. Mayfield recorded Stewart's dog playing around on video, with animators using the resulting footage as a basis for the character's movements.[9] Its setting is roughly based on Richmond, Virginia, where the creators started out in entertainment before moving to Los Angeles.[7] The creators are given creative freedom by the network, with Stewart explaining the notes received by them as "minimal", much to their surprise.[7] The creators observed some inconsistencies as to what is considered unacceptable, but try not to question it and compromise instead.[8]

Elaborating on its 11-minute running time, Carsola described it as a 22-minute show "squished" into a quarter-hour.[10] Among the voices for the characters include Brooke Shields,[7] Frank Collison, Jay Johnston and Carsola and Stewart themselves.[6] Shields' role in the series came after looking at the creator's work for Funny or Die and obtaining the script for Mr. Pickles. According to Carsola, the two were dubious over her interest in the series, but after being cast she provided lines in a recording booth in New York City while the creators supervised over Skype.[7]

Broadcast and reception

[edit]

The series was picked up for ten quarter-hour episodes for its first season,[12] premiering on the network on September 21, 2014, following the ninth-season premiere of Squidbillies.[6] In July 2013, the pilot episode was released online as part of a presentation of in-development shows for the network, partnered with KFC; viewers could vote for their favorite pilot, with the winner being broadcast on August 26, 2013.[13][14] The series lost to Übermansion, a Stoopid Buddy Stoodios production, although the presentation as a whole won an Internet Advertising Campaign Award in 2014 for "Best TV Integrated Ad Campaign".[15][16] The pilot was later published on the network's website on January 23, 2014,[17] and on YouTube on March 10 of the same year, becoming viral with over 700,000 views after roughly a month later.[7] A second season was mentioned at the 2014 Comic-Con.[8]

Aaron Simpson of Cold Hard Flash called the series an amalgamation of Lassie and Superjail!, while observing some social commentary "to ensure this is more than just a multi-episodic sketch."[5] Mike Hale of The New York Times labeled it "the less tasteful but more mainstream" counterpart to Tim & Eric's Bedtime Stories, another addition to the network.[18] He wrote that the show was "more grisly than funny," but predicted it to have a cult following and that Shields' voice would add "surreal-pop-culture cachet".[18]

In Australia, the series premiered on August 3, 2015, on The Comedy Channel,[19] and then moved to the free to air Adult Swim block on 9Go!

In Canada, the series premiered on April 1, 2019, on Adult Swim.[20]

In April 2017, a trailer was released promoting the season 3 premiere to air in fall 2017;[21] however, this was later pushed back, for unknown reasons, to the following year. The first episode of season three premiered on February 26, 2018.[22] The show was renewed for a fourth season before the third one even premiered.[1]
