Yo Aqui, you'll really get a kick out of this. You remember that one "Pat Allee was an expert on Native Americans and based the Wolf Pack on Eastern Native American tribes" tweet? Because, oh man, I fell down a rabbit hole of research after reading the follow-up tweets claiming that Ben Hurst and Pat Allee rewrote a "critically acclaimed" play based on Cherokee history, which the tweet claimed was called "Until These Hills." Just to get everyone up to speed, the tweet thread says: --- Did you know that Lupe and the Wolfpack were created by Pat Allee and patterned after Eastern Native American tribes? Pat Allee was an expert on Native Americans, and she decided to pattern the wolf pack after Eastern American tribes. The 2 had intended to develop Lupe and the Wolfpack further in the 3rd season, but it sadly never came to pass.

This wouldn't be Pat and Ben's last time working on such a project. They ended up being the lead writers, conceptual designers, and would provide voice overs for the Museum of the Cherokee Indian in Cherokee, North Carolina. They would also write a new script for the 2007 performance of "Until These Hills," a critically acclaimed play going over the history of the Cherokee of the Eastern region up until they were forcibly removed by US forces in 1838 via the Trail of Tears. Find out more about the works and lives of Ben Hurst and Pat Allee, along with the many works and people which influenced SatAM, in the upcoming book! --- Firstly, hilariously enough, wrong name; the play is called "Unto These Hills," which is easily found via Google search. While looking for sources describing the extent of Hurst and Allee's contribution, I found a thesis paper detailing the history of the play. Despite the tweet suggesting otherwise, the play was not "critically acclaimed" due to Hurst and Allee. Instead, credit goes to Kiowa playwright Hanay Geiogamah, and later Linda West, who is not Cherokee herself but who works directly with the Cherokee Nation. In fact, Hurst and Allee's version seemed to have bombed with critics. Unto These Hills has a long and storied history. It premiered in 1950 as a white pastiche of Cherokee history and culture, where white people would literally dress up in redface and act stereotypically Indian. Nonetheless, the Cherokee were interested in reappropriating the play to reflect their stories more accurately, while also appealing to the general public as a piece of performance art that generates revenue for the nation. In 2006, the Cherokee Historical Association hired Kiowa playwright Hanay Geiogamah to rewrite the original script written by white playwright Kermit Hunter, whose version was characterized as "schoolbook history," and whitewashed. Critics lauded Geiogamah's script for being literate and for reintroducing Native sensibilities, but general audiences found it difficult to relate to and follow. Due to this, as well as somewhat exaggerated issues with tardiness and plagiarism concerns (as in, he... somehow plagiarized his own work), the CHA wound up dropping his version. And in spite of their apparent goals of reappropriating the play for Cherokee sensibilities, they hired Ben Hurst and Pat Allee to punch up the script for the 2007 production. The pair basically got introduced as "Hollywood writers," despite the paper noting that neither Hurst nor Allee had had any writing credits to their names since 1999. Furthermore, the guy who vouched for them, John Tissue, claimed the two had had ten years' experience of writing Cherokee history, but conveniently neglected specifics.

Choice quotes include:

"The CHA replaced Geiogamah the following year with Pat Allee and Ben Hurst, who made their living writing cartoons." "Choosing Allee and Hurst to write the new script showed that the CHA sacrificed its desire for a fully Cherokee story, to use 'veteran Hollywood writers.'" "Their credits, however, consisted of mainly children's cartoons such as 'Tiny Toon Adventures' and two separate 'Sonic the Hedgehog' series. Neither one had any writing credits to their name since 1999." "Tissue, defending his choice, wrote [...] that 'Ben and Pat did write cartoons among many other things including the TV show Taxi but they also have [ten] years experience writing about Cherokee history. I needed that mix.' Tissue did not divulge the details of their work on the Cherokee [...] or strangely enough to newspapers." "Their background in cartoons showed in the very childlike script that played for laughs. The play is more a series of vignettes than a cohesive story with a unified thread running throughout." "Whereas [the original white playwright] Hunter denied the Indians any sense of humor, Allee and Hurst made the Indians cartoonish, filling the script with bad jokes in English." "Instead of using the Kanati and Selu [Cherokee sacred figures] as narrators, Allee and Hurst used a grandmother and grandfather telling bedtime stories to their grandsom and granddaughter, an idea more accessible to white audiences." "Allee and Hurst also added the Cherokee Sequoyah to the script. Though they do address his achievement of creating the Cherokee Syllabary, they also play the situation for laughs. In Sequoyah's first scene, Cherokee warriors mock him for his 'talking leaves': "Junaluska: And how go your efforts? Sequoyah: My writing system? (sighs) It is proving to be most difficult. Junaluska: Well, my friend, I have no doubt you will succeed with the talking leaves. Warrior #3: (laughs) Talking leaves? (picks up a leaf) Hello? (to Sequoyah) There must be something wrong with this one. It doesn't answer. (Warrior #3 shakes the leaf) Hello? Warriors: (laugh)" "After soldiers remove a family from their house, white men come in, bag Indian belongings and take over the property. The main focus of removal here, however, does not occur in Cherokee, but in Nashville, Tennessee. White citizens line the streets to watch the Indians pass through their town. Upset by the occurrences, they bring out blankets, food, and clothing, and some begin crying. Kamama, a small Indian child, mentions this to her grandmother, who responds 'never forget Kamama, there are always good people, no matter what color they are.' Throughout this scene, Cherokees sing the hymn Amazing Grace, and 'after a few stanzas, all the whites join in. The orchestrated score swells, filling the house, and the song is sung in full harmony to a huge dramatic finish. This picture of harmony between the races took the focus off of the impact removal had on the Cherokee people, and showed how the playwrights imagined whites and Indians interacted." "The Association believed that audiences would overwhelmingly enjoy the play."

"Very few newspaper articles or other sources exist detailing the success of the 2007 season, but the few that do discuss the show do not paint a positive picture. The reviewer that felt Geiogamah's piece literate felt that with the return of the traditional stories from the Hunter script present in Allee and Hurst's version brought with it 'the trite storytelling, static staging, and grade-school history lessons' of the original show." "In summation, he called the drama dull, and ended his review saying 'personally... I would rather have watched 'Sonic the Hedgehog.'"

Gee, it's almost like Ben Hurst and Pat Allee got off by being known by people. And I'm also not surprised that someone thinks they can edit history with those two.

Man, this year is so much different from the previous...

TIER - Actually Dislike

13 - Velma

I gave it a one shot and have not seen an episode since. But I have been following it via second hand sources and I do not like the direction it is going. Especially how crammed in the Scooby Doo references get. Basically, this is the bottom of the barrel of things I’ve seen this year.

TIER - Still only saw one episode

12 - Clone High

Eh, the Series didn’t really catch on with me. So I had no intention of seeing the rest of the original nor the continuation. Eh, just not for everyone.

11 - Shaggy and Scooby Get a Clue

With the Scooby/Courage episode, I really should have watched more of this series since it helped with that match. Sadly, I never got the drive to look at the rest like the others in the top tier.

10 - Kiff

I did enjoy what I saw. I enjoyed the clips I’ve seen of her and in Chibiverse. Sadly, never really saw a full episode again. Maybe one day in 2024.

TIER - Saw more than one episode

9 - Smurfs

You know how I said I was interested in seeing if Grouchy had a love interest. Well I saw the episode where that scene is from and it's basically your “we want to make a guy who does not smile smile and he totally did that one time but won’t again”. Not enough to put it below the Saw One Tier but DISAPPOINTED!!!

8 - Wacky Racers

Like the one above, I technically saw more than one episode. Granted, it was part of the One Shot review but it is still a technicality. Despite that, and seeing random clips and enjoying it, just never got around to see the rest.

7 - Fionna and Cake

Again, technically I saw more than one episode. But never got to see more of it outside clips. So I know what happens and I know Gary and Marshall are a thing and I’m so happy for them, but never got around to watching the rest.

6 - Hello Kitty Super Cute Adventures

The sad part is this was on the way to being in the Saw them all tier. The problem is new episodes came out and they were two partners. Them also coming out with Kuromi Solo Animations made it hard to follow the rest. Kind of sad when you think about it.

TIER - Saw them all at the time!

5 - Tiny Toons Looniversity

I enjoyed the reboot and saw all the episodes on the first day. It was definitely a fun experience and I do hope it gets the same treatment or better than the Animaniacs Reboot got. Looking forward to seeing my favorite Rabbit Twins in more action.

4 - Twisted Metal

Loved the game lore and I enjoyed what the TV Show producers did to make it their own thing. It seems to touch upon every aspect of the series including the terrible ones people don’t like and made them great. Rest in Peace Granny Dread.

3 - Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur

Originally it was not supposed to be here. I thought “there’s nothing I’m going to watch this year that would trump this.” Then a show came out that I also thought would have no competition. So I quickly added it. Then another show proved there was. So sadly Moon Girl gets third place. But still, I highly recommend it. 

2 - Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead

All this because of a song. While it took me a while to watch the rest, I did and thankfully I did before the next episode comes out in December. I doubt the series will continue after that, but still, it's definitely one I am so glad I gave it a shot.

1 - My Adventures with Superman

I did not want this to be in the only saw one episode tier. This needed to be in the Seen All Tier. So I did and I am so glad I have. This is the Superman we need and I look forward to seeing what the next season brings. As long as Warner Brothers keeps its ship together.
