>>104925929I do know that the show apparently changed a lot during development according to a board artist who worked on it early on (saw the quote in an older thread, wasn't more specific beyond "the stuff I'm seeing now is a lot different from what the show was when I worked on it").
I think a combination of TBS's animation block being scrapped and a management switchup last year (three of their top original programming executives got their positions within the past 10 months) mean that the network's staff and plans are different than when the show got greenlit, which almost always results in either neglect and cancellation or a major retooling, and I think the latter happened, or was at least attempted up to the point of the project being scrapped.
It reminds me of the Pinky Malinky situation, which was given two seasons right out of the gate at Nick in 2015 (!) but it's been delayed over and over again (even getting an announced release date for this September that ended up being abruptly pulled a couple days beforehand without a word from Nick or Netflix). Nick's president got fired shortly after Dan Schnieder was, and now three years after season one wrapped production the show's finally getting dumped on Netflix on New Year's Day. Shows how much executives can vary on their confidence in a product, although in PM's case it seems the show itself is likely a pile of shit.
Turner could be sitting on a full season of Close Enough right now they don't want to air, and in that case we may not see it until Warner's streaming service launches a whole year from now. I'm sure Adult Swim would air it if the show were offered to Williams Street, but I get the distinct impression that Turner and the executives at TBS see [as] as a rinky-dink operation which leads to them getting passed over and snubbed in these sorts of deals (like being forced to simulcast Final Space as an ad for the other channel).
