Here it is: the first OFFICIAL posting of Pilot Crossing. As I already explained the rating system before, I'll just go over each of the pilots in a bit more detail:

Magic Trixie: I understand that some of the Cons I listed seem a bit harsh but I wanted to remain unbiased and the biggest issue with this is ultimately going to be really good pilots are gonna be hard to find negative things to talk about, and really bad pilots are gonna be even harder to find positives to say about them. I still think this particular short is wonderful and very cute but it'd need a bit of extra polish to really work as a series. Pilot: www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3XJiq…

The Modifyers: Amazing, funny, creative, unique, beautiful, and just easily the strongest pilot that I'll be reviewing for quite a while. The story behind why it was never officially greenlit: Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network were afraid of how a female main character would affect toy sales. I'm serious. That's the most bullshit reason I've ever heard to completely deep six an idea this amazing! That'd be like reading the script for the Dark Knight and then tossing the whole thing out the window because of the paper stock it was written on. Pilot: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2KBF3…

Carmen Got Expelled!: I really wish we could've gotten more from this series, or at least give us a show about the Baron because he's literally the best thing to ever...just ever. I know that doesn't say much, but I thought I'd point that out. Anyway, while the main antagonists are a bit flat, I feel like a full series could add more interesting characters and maybe even a few other allies for Carmen outside of the Baron. Pilot: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwuxS6…

Ridin' With Burgess: I'm still sad that Twelve Forever isn't gonna be on Cartoon Network, but I don't think anyone's crying over Ridin' With Burgess not getting a full series of its own. From the generic look to everything, to the annoying characters (especially the character with the high-pitched voice who only speaks Spanish; cuz, y'know, having a high-pitched voice wouldn't be obnoxious enough and having a character that's only understood in-universe still isn't a dead trope yet), to the fact the series seems to have the shelf life of a fungal infection, I can only see this appealing to a very small demographic, if anyone at all. I was conflicted on whether I should do this or Mars Safari, but I figured at least this had something that could resemble appealing to someone. Pilot: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhXtrp…
