Well..since the other thread was deleted..I will post this here.

May S&H live on in our memories, as one of the most creative shows [as] has bestowed upon us, great characters, great stories, and just overall great show. We will miss you.

[Jeffchao228]

Very nice Hoop you have there, and well also we all hope that this show will makes it's return, given we get the viewers to boost the ratings.

[leukoplast]

I hope so.

if only I had a neilson box...

[registerforcommunity]

Hey -- It's Casper and Jeff, the creators.

Thanks a ton to everyone who watched, laughed at, and fought for the show.

It means more to us than you know, and so we won't leave you hanging.

We had season 2 mapped out and here is how it was going to start:

Stroker & Hoop died in the crash. Double-Wide survived, and was hanging on by a thread in the burn ward and having visions of Stroker and Hoop in the afterlife. Sadly, Hoop was being sent to lettuce Hell on a technicality (long story about lettuce hell). With Keith and CARR's help (CARR's brain and a hubcap survived the crash), Doublewide built a flat-liner device and had Keith pack his body on ice while he attempted an afterlife rescue mission. Just as Double-Wide was about to succeed, the doctors burst in and revived him. So in a last-ditch attempt to save his buddies, Double-Wide shot himself and Coroner Rick. Once in the afterlife, DW and CR teamed up with Stroker's dead dad (who was a custodian in limbo) and a dead Ninja (the one Hoop shot in episode 6) to try and save Hoop. After Stroker put together a series of small clues that culminated with God getting killed. For 20 minutes (the time it takes God's soul to return to the afterlife), there was no God around. Which gave Stroker, Hoop, Double-Wide, Coroner Rick, Stroker's dead Dad -- and a ton of people who had been quite justifiably condemned to Hell -- just enough time to escape back to Earth.

Thanks again.

We'll be back.

[Jeffchao228]

Well welcome to the boards you 2, I better hope you have some good hints about this series, because we are badily in need of well some good discussion here, besides that some of the croweds have been uneasy, so I do hope you guys will return, just get the Admins to make you as a SwimInsider, that way we know you work for Willams Street.

[itsacoaster]

*dies*

[Jules-A-Rama]

hopefully stroker and hoop WILL be back.

if any williams street series should be nominated for an award,its stroker and hoop.

[Jeffchao228]

And certianlly one series that is truely adult like, besides with alot of bad language, bloody violance, and even sex, I figure that will work out very much here.

WOW, now THAT would've been fun to animate!!

Thanks for stopping in guys... truly class acts!

[Sweet_Mercury]

Ah, that bites. I thought S&H was one of the funnier new offerings. Maybe DVD sales will help yank it out of limbo one day?

A man can dream....

To the whiners: Shut up. Seriously, I'm sure that once you spend years building up a business, working hard to appease impossible to please customers, and then spend a few months running it into the ground with deficit spending just to please the folks over at Williams Street, they will be much obliged to return the favor.

Money talks, bull**bleep** walks.

That sounds geat.  Did you ever think of doing an animatic of that episode for the inevitable Stroker and Hoop DVD?

Hi gang, yer friendly neighborhood animator here and it saddens me to say that officially there will be no 2nd season for SnH.

Thats right, I repeat, NO 2nd season.

I wanted to post it here since I doubt there will be any official release regarding this.

It was a great show, and we had a great time working on it. Jeff and Chris were kind enough to deliver us the news in person today. My hat is definitely off to them for that.

Needless to say, we're all a lil bummed.

But fear not!! Jeff and Chris aren't going anywhere, they're still writing at WS and hopefully something even more amazing will be coming forth from their pens in the future.

It wasn't a case of the show not being funny or good enough, it was a financial decision... and a hard one to make at that. I don't think anyone at WS liked not picking it up for a 2nd season.

So to sum up, a big thanks to Jeff and Chris for an experience I'll never forget (nor will my crew) and best of luck to them with everything in the future. Its not an end, just a new beginning

Thats about it... over n out!

~Les

P.S. Feel free to swing by The Garage and post your fondest memories from season 1... I'll throw a pot of java on the hot-plate.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[HailBrak]

Maybe we should have a S&H palindromic comic. That way comic fans can read the comic in their way, and manga fans read it in their way. The end is in the middle so there's no danger of reading it the wrong way and spoiling the ending after one or two pages.

i havent read one all the way through but ive sat in a bookstore and read a FLCL one. i had time.

[SwimMod_Bast]

Really thanks for coming to the board to throw us a bone.

Man, just when I get hooked on a show, wouldn't ya know it.
I got into watching the show because of Speed Levitch. He had one of my favorite segments in Waking Life, so there was some cult curiosity when I saw he was voicing Hoop. It turned out to be a disgustingly funny show.

I sure hope we see some more. If you have another project that gets picked up, I hope you will stop by the board to let S&H fans know about it.

[lithium_green]

Wow, that's some funky stuff you had there.

Ah man, now it makes me wish I had given the show better praise.

Anyways, I wish you guys the best of luck for your next project.

[igotsmeakabob]

Holy crap, thats some amazing stuff. Maybe you'll get a chance to bring it back in a year or two.
