What do you think of my "show" that I'm writing for children?

[Anonymous]

To clarify, for now the "show" is almost completely text based, and I'm not sure if it'll ever be accepted by major companies to ever go into production. But it's still nice to fantasize about and partake in as a hobby if anything else.

In my mind it would be a cartoon, though it could possibly work in live action too.

But either way, first thing's first, the show's title would be "The Shaheed and Richard Show."

As you can probably guess, the two main characters would be Shaheed and Richard. Shaheed would be goofy and kind of wild (in a playful way). Richard would be serious and kind of the straight man.

The two characters are actually based on me and my friend, and my friend is also in on this writing the show with me. The names aren't exactly the same for privacy reasons, though they do give off the same vibes as our real names. My friend is Shaheed, I'm Richard. His name is much more unique, mine is much more common.

It would basically be a sort of educational kid's show where they go on adventures and learn about the world, and find solutions to everyday problems.

Shaheed would be the more important character of the two, and the one who pushes the plot forward with his crazy antics.

Richard would be there more to ground the viewer and explain things.

On a surface level Richard would seem more intelligent as he would be more neat and organized, but Shaheed would be more intelligent overall due to his creativity and thinking outside the box.

That kind of covers the most important parts, so I would like to share with you the "opening song" of the show. Neither me nor my friend can sing, though we wrote the lyrics. Another friend who could sing though sung it and it sounded kinda nice.

So here we go:

"Shaheed and Richard

Richard and Shaheed

Shaheed and Richard

Richard and Shaheed

Go on adventures, with Shaheed and Richard

Shaheed is goofy, Richard is serious

But they make a great team

The Shaheed and Richard show!"

I wouldn’t make any pitches without some baseline character design images

Thanks for your feedback!

Baseline character design images huh.

The thing is neither me nor my friend can draw, but we do have friends who know how to draw to help us out.

The character designs would be exceedingly simple though. Since they're based on me (Richard) and my friend (Shaheed), they would basically just be younger versions of us. Shaheed would be an average look Black boy, and Richard would be an average looking White boy.

They would be around 10 years old since this would be an educational kid's show. I'd say any age between like 8 and 11 works. So that way they're not in their teens (13+) and therefore still children but also still old enough to be someone the young viewers can look up to. It would be a TV-Y rated show, so aimed at like children under 7. So 8-11 would be older in comparison. But 10 would be my number 1 choice.

So while unfortunately I don't have any images to share (for now) I hope that helps somewhat, if at all, lol.

For the record, this show is supposed to give off the same vibe as the educational kid's programming I grew up with. So think like PBS Kids or Nick Jr or Disney Jr. Not really based on any SPECIFIC show, but just the same general educational kid's show vibe.

Thanks, lol. However successful it may or may not be, still a fun process.
