S P O I L E R S

☺ the dust the witch uses is the same as Jason's

☺ gnarly says "I love you" to grim. (We're they lovers)

☺ Charlie claims to not know aliens exist while at the UFO Lookout meeting thing. In the fantasy episode he literally solved a long term conflict between the spiders and aliens

☺ Allan healed from the cruizifizion quickly.

☺ Filmore was in the background while the demon was getting destroyed

☺ Allan's tie is always crinkly

☺ Pim's cowboy hat gets wiggled in the rain

☺ the boss's bowtie looks like an untied tie instead of a bow when he's going crazy in the frowning friends episode

☺ Desmond puts the Dave land shirt on over the shirt he's wearing

☺ despite being able to drive, Allan takes a scooter to work.

☺ glep takes his hat off to pay respects to jason

☺ Allan and glep have the same gardening apron different sizes

☺ the building gets a Santa hat for Xmas so someone had to have put it on the building.

☺ even the devil is nice to fast food workers

☺ Britney dates men of huge influence. She went after Mr. Boss instead of Mr. Frog. We know Mr. Frog is rich and powerful as well. So who's richer?

☺ Jeremy has thing wings implying he could once fly

☺ if Charlie's grandma has a lollipop it implies that she ethier died with it or took it from someone in hell. Same with the rocking chair

☺ Biblies are in hell (thanks Desmond)

☺ in the after credits scene where the devil and Mr. Boss fight, hell is back to normal. Despite denying it, Charlie helped the devil

☺ the devil owns a keyboard (but not a fiddle?)

☺ the earth isn't flat when God sends Charlie back but is at the alien episode.

☺ glep gas a black hat for mourning

☺ if Alan is spraying gwimbly with DIRTY BROWN WATER the water where smiling friends takes place might be heavily polluted.

☺ Allan likely has PTSD from the Bible thing

☺ glep and Allan wear more clothes for vacation than work (they still don't wear shoes tho)

☺ the devil eats salty's

☺ they dine and dash

☺ it's mentioned by Charlie that the tv is broken (in the professor psychotic episode) which is likely the result of James ripping it off

☺ Charlie got the maid outfit quickly which means 1: he had it available 2: there's a shop on the street that sells it or 3: express shipping

☺ allan likes playing games

☺ shrimp are both members of society and food (does that imply cannibalism?)

☺ in America Presidents wear blue or red ties on their suits (red for Republican, blue for Democrat) but jimble wears yellow. Pim wears a red tie with a blue suit. William worm wears a blue suit and tie.

☺ Allan's one night stand wears big boots in bed.

☺ Allan jumped off a building without hesitation for paperclips

☺ idk what's more impressive in An Allan Adventure: the fact that Allan survived or that his stayed tied.

☺ Allan has anger issues

☺ Allan is more scared of a hole in the roof then nearly dying

☺ subway exists within the smiling friends universe

☺ Doug owns an iPhone

☺ Doug doesn't wear a hard hat on the job

☺ Allan and glep collapsed from Jason's dust

WRITER'S NOTES by Cheri Steinkellner | Book & Additional Lyrics

How do you begin to adapt a film like Summer Stock into a stage musical?

Close my eyes and remember what I loved about it when I was a little girl, watching it with my cousin Cathy on the Million Dollar Movie every night for a week and twice on the weekend so we could reenact it beat-for-beat at Sunday family dinner. Key memories include: Singing on a tractor, dancing on a newspaper, and a pink painted sky.

Open my eyes, dig out my Judy Garland boxed-set and watch the DVD.

Close my eyes and re-watch the story on an imagined stage, with a diverse cast, contemporary social values, and a fresh storyline to match.

Open my eyes and write that. Then rewrite it. Then re-re-write, until I hit my deadline and can re-re-re-rewrite no more.

About that deadline: I first got the call in October. They needed a designer draft by January, a workshop draft by March, and a rehearsal draft by June for a July opening. That's fast, even for me, and I started my career in TV where you write and produce a new episode every week. But Summer Stock is all about putting on a show in a barn—so we roll up our sleeves, get up early, stay up late, and get the work—and the play—done!

What has changed from the original and what are the challenges of updating a 1950 film for a modern audience? That feel-good feeling of the original movie is still intact, but story, songs, and characters have all changed to be here now.

STORY: When I first signed on, I was given one mandate: No tractor. Heavy farm machinery wouldn't fit on the Goodspeed stage, so there went the film's whole buy-a-tractor/wreck-a-tractor/fix-a-tractor plotline. This opened up space to answer some of my more burning questions:

Why is Falbury farm at risk?

Why can't Joe get his show to Broadway?

How does a farmgirl like Jane suddenly morph into a triple-threat superstar?

And why is she wearing nothing but a tux jacket and fedora in that pink-sky finale?

As I wrote, more questions popped up: What do you do with a wanna-be actress who doesn't wanna rehearse? Why is a Shakespearean matinee idol starring in a musical in a barn? And what happens when you make show-people wake up at sunrise to muck out the stalls? All of these questions are asked—and I hope answered—in song and dance.

SONGS: The film features nine songs. Most contemporary stage musicals have twenty or more. So building out the score was a task. Some of the film's original songs like "Howdy Neighbor" and "Dig for Your Dinner" are repositioned and repurposed to tell our story. "You Wonderful You" and "Get Happy" have gained back-stories. To fill out the rest of the score, I turned to the Public Domain, where old favorites like "The Best Things in Life are Free," "I'm Always Chasing Rainbows," "Some of These Days," "It Had to Be You," and more, could be tailored to sing in our character's voices. Production numbers like "Paper Moon," "Everybody Step," and "June Night" are newly built on tunes that are nearly a century old, but with Doug Besterman's jazzy, brassy, Woody Herman-inspired arrangements, and Donna Feore's dynamic direction and thrilling choreography, they sing and dance like never before.

CHARACTERS: Looking at 1950s characters through a contemporary lens meant making crucial changes, not only in motivation—but in the people we want to see onstage. One challenge was crafting a story to support a diverse cast of characters with intention, authenticity, and care. I found my way in through the U.S. miltary. Special Services began in WWII and was one of the few army units to be racially integrated. I could imagine an ace director/choreographer like Joe Ross working with a gifted writer like Phil Filmore, pulling together a talented troupe of marginalized soldiers, and putting on a show for the troops. But what happens after the war, when they come home and their show can't get a break on Broadway? Hit musicals in 1950—Brigadoon, Guys and Dolls, Call Me Madam—were distinctly homogenous—i.e., white. Historically, it would be nearly a decade before a Black director would helm a Broadway play (Lloyd Richards, A Raisin in the Sun). So now we know what Joe and Phil are up against, and why they need this barn in Connecticut to put on their show. The Falbury family—Jane, Gloria, and Pop—need this show—and these show people—just as much to save their beloved farm from being acquired by a rich and powerful land owner bent on creating her own family legacy. I won't give away how song-and-dance save the day—but in the end, everyone does Get Happy.

What has been your favorite part of writing this musical and what are you most excited about seeing come to life on stage? If I could spend the rest of my writing life putting old songs into new musicals, I'd be one happy writer. Summer Stock is the second musical I've crafted "with" legendary composers like Irving Berlin, Harold Arlen, and Shelton Brooks (the first was Hello! My Baby, Goodspeed 2011). Bringing in these songs my mom taught me and her mom taught her, so my kids and theirs can sing them again, is my dream job—and I can't wait to see this dream cast hit the notes, find the laughs, and take flight like I can't even begin to dream.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if instead of that Owl House cameo they showed a portal to, like, Doug? Or Filmore? Or Kim Possible?

[audible-smiles]

in retrospect, very weird that as kids we spent all week going to school and then spent half the weekend watching cartoons about kids going to school

Thoughts on the Disney TVA One Saturday Morning/ABC Kids era shows like: 101 Dalmatians The Series, Doug (Disney seasons), Recess, Pepper Ann, Jungle Cubs, Nightmare Ned, Hercules The Animated Series, Mickey Mouse Works, The Weekenders, Clerks the Animated Series, Teacher's Pet, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, House of Mouse, Lloyd in Space, Legend of Tarzan, Teamo Supreme, and Filmore?

101 Dalmatians The Series is fun, i still have the series finale VHS film, Doug is boring as hell and that includes the Nickelodeon run to, haven't seen Pepper Ann, The Weekenders and Lloyd In Space, Legend Of Tarzan and Fillmore since their avaliblity is well low quality.

Isn't Mickey Mouse Works and House Of Mouse the same thing? well i had more fun with House Of Mouse, i still have the Halloween and Christmas VHS films and im dying to add both shows on Disney+

Teamo Supremo is just Disney's Powerpuff Girls when i watched it on Netflix Latin America in 2019.

Nightmare Ned is very creative, sadly that the HD and SD rips are still on the Disney Vault

I rented as a kid a Jungle Cubs VHS and it was cute but i haven't revisited it yet, when i watched the intro, i thought i made it up this series

Just watched the Teacher's Pet film and i haven't binge watched the series yet.

Buzz Lightyear is god-tier and im mad that Pixar or in this case John Lasseter has made Disney execs to forget it's existense, i hope when Lightyear comes out, Disney+ adds the pilot film and series to celebrate the release.

Recess was my jam, i loved watching reruns, loved the films and specially the theatrical film, i hope Disney+ revisits this franchise and makes it a perfect reintroduction not only to this characters but also like DuckTales 2017 making a Cinematic Universe with Disney's 1 Saturday Morning characters
