slightly late for the east coast, but tonight you can watch the very first episode that i ever boarded on OK K.O.! Let’s Be Heroes with the incredible stevie borbolla!!!

keep your TV tuned to Cartoon Network and catch all of the million episodes of OK K.O.! that are airing this week!

We Messed Up! This is a great episode where we take a sitcommy premise and infuse it with lots of OK KO!-ness. Of course, when we first came up with this concept we didn’t fully know what OK KO!-ness was. The episode was conceived as a way to spend some time fleshing out how the characters see Gar, as well as give us some more time with Carol. The storyboard pitch took things to a whole new level, stunning us with just how cartoony and wacky and genuine it was. I remember seeing Stevie’s section with the aliens and just being like… can we do this? Can the show go this far? (yes). And then on the other end of the spectrum, Danny did some incredibly warm and sweet sections with Carol and the very melancholy and mysterious flashback. Seeing that we could do both of these tones in one episode really opened things up and helped us define what the show could be moving forward.
