What Went Wrong? | Hailey's On It!

- So, Hailey's On It just had its' Season 1 finale, and with no news of a renewal, it's looking like that may be the last episode. And it ended on a cliffhanger!
So, how did a show with a great premise and some pretty serious star power end up in this situation? In this video, I discuss some of the issues with the show that I think probably hindered its' popularity.
Sunnyland Productions Discord: / discord - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Hinging a show on a plot device that we are told in the first episode will inevitably be solved immediately turned me off it. Sure, obviously all DTVA shows will solve their conflicts but it just felt so dumb and blatant. It also had the same issue SVTFOE did where there is a plot device that means the two main characters will end up together but then still tries to act like there’s a possibility they won’t. (And for the record with Kim Possible, there are zero hints of them ending up together in the show and the creators admitted they threw it in the movie to ‘give nerds a win’ lol. They then were forced to work around it in the renewal season.)
Yeah, Kim and Ron really didn’t have *that* kind of chemistry at all as them dating felt very uncomfortable and forced to me
And why was Kim and Ron’s relationship bad?
ok the no hints thing is a lie XD
@@samflood5631 it's not. everyone feels different about but the top commentor is lying about the 'no hints' thing, there were hints.
@@nickgadson266yeah, no.
As someone who watched and love the fourth season of Kim Possible, I never got the feeling that Kim and Ron's relationship felt "forced" like you make it out to be. Their relationship was one of the best parts about the show.
I just realized, if the show doesn’t get renewed, the series ends with Hailey dooming all of humanity because of teenage hormones and a dating app. 10/10 main character, gold star, best in the city
And I’ve seen people say that the season finale makes her unlikeable, I don’t agree with that, much like Molly in “I Wanna Dance With Some-Ollie”, I think that Hailey is finally doing something for herself for once. The whole thing with the app is stupid, but so is making such a huge deal out of kissing Scott in the first place.
Here’s how I would have end this series. Some guy comes from the future and use some sort of love drug to make Hayley and Scott fall in love.
ZAGAT! (I understood that JonTron reference at the end there)
Yeah, the worst case scenario is that this is going to be another Accidental Downer Ending.
@@SunnylandProdsThe finale was my introduction to the series.
Ya know something, I think it should honestly be ILLEGAL to end a show on a cliffhanger
It did happened with Milo Murphy's Law where we're left with a S2 cliffhanger, and I already call bullshit on that.
Yeah, for real! Why did Disney let them do this??
@@RealGilbertGan I don't see the ending of Milo Murphy's Law as a cliffhanger. I see it as an open-ended ending. They saved the alien planet from bad luck which was their main objective. The ship crashing at the end of the episode felt more like a "here we go again" gag. Because Milo will always have bad luck. They probably did find a way back to earth and all the loose ends of the season were tied up.
@SunnylandProds Shock value sells, I imagine. A lot of shows these days like to focus on interpersonal drama and plot twists.
Um no. The cliffhanger is a sign that the crew were expecting more seasons to come. It would not have ended that way if they knew it was cancelled 😅 clearly they weren’t told anything when they had finished production of these episodes, mate.
I remember being so annoyed by the ads for this show, and the two times I tried watching an episode, I just fell asleep. Not gonna miss this show, but as a Wander Over Yonder fan, my heart goes out to its fans - it’s never fun when your favorite show ends up being the least popular one.
WOY was such a great show. Maybe we'll get at least a movie one day
My gripe with the show is that it keeps dragging its heels regarding the actual crucial parts of the plot; taking too much time to dive into the questions that have been looming in the background since episode 1, like "Why does her list determine the fate of the world?", "Who is sending all of the robots?", "What is the time-traveling scientist keep from Hailey", or even "Is there some connection with Hailey and the scientist?"
Yeah, the actual potential of discussions and theories but they didn’t gave breadcrumbs to work with
Fan debates are really popular. It might be part of the appeal.
@@ThePrincessCH Yeah, but the problem is the show hardly touches upon this
Better question, why does Hayley keep on cucking her friend, who the robots say that it’s important for her to start dating?
It has a really interesting premise that it refuses to do anything with in favor of mundane shenanigans, and the most will they won't they bullshit there has ever been.
I don't want Hailey's on It to end like this. I really hope they greenlit it for a second season.
Same
That’s why I wanted Hailey to kiss Scott at the end.
1. Like mentioned the show has not been green lit to a season 2
2. It wouldn’t make sense to continue the story into season 2 since it would make sense to focus on the bigger story of Hailey saving the world
3. The story of Hailey kissing Scott might end up growing stale throughout (if it will happen) season 2.
Disney would have to pay their employees to do that - and their taxes, too - if they're going to do a second season. They do not see their workers as valuable people, or equals for that matter. In fact, it would take a miracle for them to make a second season possible. But to have hope for such trivial matters is the same as to believe in something that doesn't exist. Happiness is but a mere illusion in a world as cynical and decrepit as ours.
Yeah me to
They didn’t needed the sci fi plot but since they decided to put it, they should have tapped into it, giving us Lore and mysteries to theorize about. And making all the lost items challenging and related to it
I wouldn’t mind it being a simple slice of life series about Hailey simply competing a list. It could be interesting without the whole sci fi stuff.
That's something I saw people talking about on Reddit, they left us no breadcrumbs to theorize on. The one thing they gave us was that reveal of the chaos bots' battery being Hailey's invention and literally in the same episode they told us ''Nope, she just created a power source that the creator of the chaos bots used on their inventions''. Like imagine if future Hailey had regretted completing the list and created the chaos bots to try and stop her past self from completing it? But no, they outright tell us that's not it and ruin any fun and mystery behind it.
@@NobodyUndefined yeah that’s the problem with Hailey. They do bait and switches when it’s not needed.
To be honest, the theories that the fans come up with would’ve been way better than what the actual show does
@@kmmk5022 I agree, the theories are way better
I feel like the show would've worked if they subverted expectations by having Hailey kissing Scott at the end of episode one, and then she realizes it wasn't as bad as she thought it would be, Scott's still her friend, etc. Only for it to be revealed that there's a much more embarrassing thing on the to-do list, which wouldn't be touched upon until the end of the season.
Yes, Exactly!
@@maxpaschke2297Yeah, that way, the kiss thing won’t overstay its welcome. To be honest, I think the show would work better if Hailey and Scott just had a friendship with no romantic interest in one another for the duration of the entire series and have reoccurring characters be love interests for them.
I hope for the fans’ sake, the show gets a second season, because this was a REALLY bad way to end off season one.
I cannot for the life of me understand why you’d end your first season on a cliffhanger if you don’t KNOW you’re getting another season.
I agree they should make a second season, I like the series, but I hope the show gets at least 4 seasons, but we would need lots of support in order to do that
I just really hope it does have a chance of getting a season 2. I mean, the views and ratings are high and it got so many awards. It can’t just end on a cliffhanger.
Exactly. I love haileys on it and I thought it would be my next new favorite that had episodes coming out but now this is just over? Ughhh
Seriously, whoever had the idea to end the season on an insane cliffhanger not knowing if they were getting another season or not was either really evil or really stupid.
@@SunnylandProds real
Yeah…ending on a cliffhanger is the worst feeling. Remember Alf?
@@ultimatedisneycruiselinefa5112 duckman also ended on a cliffhanger
Hayley’s On It is one of those shows that had too many cooks in the kitchen, if you know what I mean, as the story seems to be a mess. And the characters are all mediocre and sometimes forgettable. And the romance was just embarrassing. It’s another, will they won’t they, bullcrap with Hayley and Scott. And people saying that the will they won’t they crap in Inuyasha was bad. At leas that show had some interesting characters and a satisfying conclusion. Plus the humor is trying way too hard to be like the 2017 Duck Tales Show, Owl House or even Rick and Morty with the characters trying way too hard to look cool while telling jokes and snarky remarks.
You’re mean all the characters are not mediocre ! If you hate this show do not insult it !!!
the whole sanjay thing feels like when randy cunningham randomly said his name was Reginald beagle to throw off a villain only for that to actually be a person who goes to his school there it was funny because randy didn't know the guy even existed so he's just as flabbergasted as the audience is plus it was only necessary for a random non plot relevant episode
Yeah I feel like Hailey was way too lucky for a Sanjay Singh to actually exist. Unless he’s some chaos bot from the future.
"The algorithm is like, never wrong."
**cries in CZcamsr**
I was predicting that she would just kiss Scott platonically in the end. You can kiss someone without it meaning anything. And it would also help them stay just friends. (I would love a solely platonic male/female relationship, between two same-aged humans, that lasts a whole series. I can't think of any animated show where that happens.)
Well, I headcanon that Darryl and June in TGAMM are queerplatonic life partners, but June was introduced in Season 2
inside job with brett and reagan solidly does this . the creator said that if the show continued , they would never be a couple whatsoever despite how some of the fandom feel about them
@@sadisticmaxwell Thank you, yes. .... I miss Inside Job. Just one of the many things it did right for me.
Honestly I would rather have Hailey and Scott just be friends with no romantic feelings whatsoever for the whole series. Not too many shows so that.
Take Summer Camp Island with Oscar and Hedgehog. Theyre a guy girl best friend duo and neither showed any signs of feelings for one another. That’s honestly what Hailey and Scott should’ve been
My Main Issues are
● Animation is sometimes lazy
● Beating around the bush like Starco
● Took wayyy too long to air
● Lack of promotion
● Overshadowed by Moon Girl
Don’t forget unsatisfying usage of the bait and switch trope where it just wasn’t needed
Not to be jakass here, but some of the characters LITERALLY looks like bitmojis, especially Scott!
The 2 issues that came up with me in particular were:
- i didn’t even know the show started airing
- they raised the price of D+ and cant afford 35 - 50$ a month for 1-3 shows who’s fates isnt even confirmed
It started airing after Disney played all 4 of the Toy Story movies on Disney channel.
@@karmore17076 you do realize that it costs EXTRA to even have said channels? Especially in canada? “Ooo fancy pants rich mcgee over here, fk u!”
If they don’t get another season, this will easily be the craziest cliffhanger I’ve ever seen a cartoon be left on.
It bothered me that Becker was never treated as a serious romantic rival to Scott, her crush was introduced at the end of one episode, and then dismissed the next time she appeared. The whole "dating your sibling's love interest" plotline had potential, and it was never used for anything.
Imagine if at the end of season 1, Becker went to the dance with Hailey instead of Sanjay, that would've felt a lot more dramatic than it being some guy we've never seen before.
Especially after The Owl House was cancelled, I'm getting the impression that Disney just doesn't want to have gay/bi main characters again, only side characters.
I dunno, I feel like Hailey going out with Becker instead of Scott would’ve felt kinda strange. But I absolutely love how sweet and casual the LGBTQ+ rep in the show is.
Owl House had a series finale. It wasn’t cancelled.
I can kinda see what you mean, but why Becker? The two of them barely hang out, and Hailey doesn't even like her all that much. It would make as much sense as Sanjay does.
@@alexjewett7455 I think that Sanjay being real could’ve actually been a great bit of setup and payoff, but they totally botched the execution of it.
Nevertheless, I’m really glad that Karan Brar can actually use his real voice on a Disney Channel show instead of being a walking stereotype
@@SunnylandProds I believe because Becker was introduced early on and made a physical appearance early on, and had more episodes to establish her character and relevance to the story, it would feel less out of place and make a lot more sense for the show to have it be Becker rather than Sanjay
Please let Chucky,Monsters At Work and Hailey's on it get renewed.
The world needs more Jennifer Tilly!!
Monsters at Work has been doing well and should be fine. If the Chucky series is done, it’s probably because they’re gonna make new Chucky movies.
“I will not kiss Scott Denoga” is imo a better title for this series, and proof that it probably would have been better as a movie. There’s no point in dragging a premise like this along. They could have easily told the whole story in one season. If the kiss was always the focal point, they would have needed to jump through several hoops to keep that interesting in long-form format. Idk. It’s a shame because I thought it was a sweet show but it totally failed to take off.
I think sorta like Milo Murphy’s Law, it was way too convoluted for its’ own good.
While I still don't mind the concept of Hailey completing the list to save the world, I agree with you that it isn't 100% clear as to how completing her list will do that. If her saving the world starts with winning the young person of the year award and being noticed by the mayor, then maybe there's one item on her list that might lead to that, but it wouldn't be because of completing the entire list. Also, I wouldn't really mind if the sci-fi/saving the world plot wasn't there, as I mainly appreciate the show for how fun it is, for the characters, and the friendship/romance. Hailey's On It would still be a pretty fun show if it was about Hailey completing her list items just because she finally wants to or if, as you mentioned, some personal thing motivates her to do so.
Also, I don't completely agree on Hailey being a passive character, but to make her a more active character, I think it would've been better if rather than completing list items she wrote down in the past, that she has to decide on one new thing she wants to do each week. There was one episode where she wrote down something new in the list and Beta freaked out, saying she couldn't add new stuff to the list, but then it turns out that nothing bad happened from her adding a new list item. Someone I've been talking to about the show thought it would've been a better idea to have Hailey start out with a blank list/journal that she adds stuff to throughout the show and I agree with them. Hailey could've been a person who just doesn't know what she wants to do with her life, so she tries a bunch of new things until she's finally found her true passion/purpose. It also would've better if, rather than Hailey having a crush on Scott from the beginning and writing down that she wants to kiss him, Hailey could've developed feelings for him during the show and THEN decided to write that she wants to tell him that she likes him someday.
Speaking of Hailey and Scott, I have a lot of thoughts about the finale, too many to write in one comment, but the main thing that was frustrating about it is (SPOILERS) how they were so many unnecessary things stopping Hailey and Scott from finally being together - the problem is not the romance, the problem is that it seems like they're going to overcomplicate the romance now when Hailey and Scott should have a simple love story. While I liked the moment when Scott finally realized he likes Hailey in the finale, it would've been better if he started liking Hailey earlier in the season, as well as realizing he likes Hailey because of a moment the two have together rather than because the phone app said they're a perfect match. Then, if Scott knows that he likes Hailey earlier in the season, both of them would be secretly crushing on each other until Hailey finally tells Scott how she feels at the dance. That would've been a great way to conclude the "hiding their feelings" part of their romance and get to the part where they're a couple. Of course, I don't think much will change once they're together, they're just going to continue having fun completing list items together and their relationship will be stronger because they no longer have to keep secrets from each other. I absolutely want a season 2, but I don't want them to drag out the romance storyline until the very end of the season. I hope that within the first few episodes of season 2, they have Hailey and Scott finally discover that they both like each other instead of waiting until the very end. Thank you for making this video! I've became a big Hailey's On It fan as of recently, but I'm absolutely fine with you talking about the problems you believe the show has. I don't think the show is perfect either, but I still really enjoy it and I hope the show gets a chance to prove that it can be even better in season 2. Anyways, I hope you're having a great week so far😊
It’s not clear because if we knew it all it wouldn’t be a STORY
My problem with Hailey’s character is more about how she initially was too skilled in her first episode. Her doing those flips and tricks and stuff. To me, Hailey seems like the type of person who lacked any sort of skills let alone athleticism. I’d rather have start out from square one and have her build up her skills over time. This would give her character more room to show
I really hope they give it a second season,I hate that cartoons end on a permanent cliffhanger,ending things on a cliffhanger should be illegal,come on disney pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssssssssssssssssse give us a season 2,don't let it end like this :'( I'm begging here disney ;-; give this show a chance to live,stop screwing cartoons over for once ;-;
I like how in that montage you said right off the bat that Hailey just gives Scott a peck on the cheek. If all the other work arounds on the list worked why wouldn't this? Though I would've included Kristine becoming a hat fashion designer and becoming bigger than the one who first made the baseball cap.
I think the fact Beta constantly prodding her is annoying. He wasn’t even supposed to be an important character, but they enjoyed his voice actor so much they expanded his role. I think it would’ve been better if he stayed a minor character.
Why is kissing Scott the one item on her list that’s super time sensitive for some reason? I said in my original video that I like how Beta actually respects her enough to not force her to do it, but he’s basically trying to force her to do it in the finale.
Moreover, if they started from the same point, what motivated future Hailey to start on the list, and how did she end up kissing Scott?
@@SunnylandProds I hate time travel and really wished they just had Hailey completing the list of her choice. The sci-fi elements really aren’t mixing well with the show.
And like you said the climate change thing feels shoehorned in. The show doesn’t care about the environment and thinking we need to depend on one singular person to swoop in and fix it on her own shows a fundamental misunderstanding about the issue.
@@mediaknight it’s “Circle of Life: An Environmental Fable” all over again!
I think a lot would've been changed if the Professor took Beta's role, but then people would compare her and Hailey to Rick and Morty, especially since the Professor is voiced by Beth. Plus, it would've been way harder to hide a human being from the future from the general public, including Hailey's family, than disguising a super advanced smartphone as a sassy teddy bear.
3:46 Thats the whole joke of the show. Hailey's On It is basically one giant joke poking fun at the Butterfly effect. The Butterfly effect is a theory that says even the most small changes can have a giant impact on the future. One example of the Butterfly effect is the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror V segment Time and Punishment. In that segment, Homer goes back in time to the prehistoric era and kills a mosquito. Homer killing a mosquito somehow caused Ned Flanders to take over the earth in the present. Hailey cleaning the couch should have nothing to do with stoping climate change in the future and its ridiculous that such a small action would effect climate change. Thats part of what makes the show funny. Something as small as cleaning out the couch some how had an effect on the future. Another reason why the list has mundane activities in it is because Hailey is only 14 and a lot of the list items are things a 14 year old could actually do.
I see where you're coming from but it's stated in the show she creates an energy source in the future. One which ironically powers the very robots sent back in time to stop her.
@@dennisduncan7561The Season 1 finale kind of hints that A.C. is probably the one who ends up creating the robots that are sent back in time to stop Hailey and her friends. I could honestly see that being the case given how petty of a person A.C. actually is.
@@dennisduncan7561 Nothing you said contradicts my statement. In the Future, she will become a famous inventor. Since she grew up to be a famous inventor it makes sense that she discovered a power source. The seemingly random stuff she is doing now will help her get attention for being Young Person of the Year.
@@theluigifan1eh, seems a little too obvious for my taste.
Personally I’m wondering if either
A. The future depends on only a select few items on the list but they don’t know which ones specifically so they’re just saying it’s best to do them all to prevent any potential butterfly effects.
Or B. The scientist is completely making this up and is trying to get Hailey to do something specific on the list to change the future for some reason. Remember that she looked like she was never going to do that list until the scientist basically told her the world depends on it. Ergo, this might mean Haily didn’t do the list in the future originally. Meaning this isn’t about maintaining the future, it’s about changing it.
Heck, maybe Haily was right about her future self making the bots and that future self recording the scientist gave was some AI deepfake or something.
This show feels like a disney live action show turned into a cartoon. it checks all the marks
It feels like they were going to do the same thing they did with Star Vs Evil, drag out the romance as long as possible, until the ending of the show where they then hook up and yeah, no. If that was the direction they were going to go with this show, then I think we dodged a bullet.
Owl House just did this plotline much better, where they have Luz and Amity get together in the middle of Season 2. They didn't drag out their crush on each other all the way to the end, which I think was the better choice, since we get to see them together as a couple more, compared to Scott and Hailey, where it's clear they would've had this dragged on across many Seasons and it would've worn out its welcome fast.
They’re not gonna drag it out. At least it happened in season 1. The comparison to star vs is getting on my Nerves you know 🤦♀️😊
@@gracekim25 Honestly, same
Show me by hey did Sophia ended around the same time overshadowing the ending to star
14:50 same. Me and my little sister, who is in the show's main demographic but is even more of a DTVA fan than her peers, got bored. The Ghost and Molly McGee kept us excited. We were eager to see what would happen next with the ghost council in season 1 and the Chens in season 2. HOI felt like it was dragging on, though. We watched them do mundane tasks while just bugging us about that kiss for forever, at least that's what it felt like. It felt like "Hey look! We're begging you, ship them!"
I really liked the premise of HOI, and I supported it and even defended it at the start, but it just couldn't keep my interest. The first episode for me was very interesting. But after that it progressed into the way I previously described.
15:48 also yeah I totally relate to MML ending. I still love that show; I like it more than HOI
I love that you gave it a satisfying conclusion. A true enhappifier at work
The show isn't the best and definitely has plot issues, but I really do enjoy the show as a little comfort thing. I enjoy watching the characters and I found a lot of the jokes and bits pretty funny. Gonna be really sad if it gets cancelled...so much potential :(
I hope Hailey’s On It gets a season two.
Well If the primos show gets one season and with Disney focusing on Disney Junior shows , if they desperate they might
Disney simply continues to screw with it viewers. So many great shows were dropped in the past, and now Molly is going too. Hailey though is one I won't grieve over. I struggled to watch it but gave up halfway through the sandcastle episode because I was just too bored.
I think it's hard to compete following shows like Gravity Falls, Ducktales, Amphibia, and The Owl House. I guess the dark undertones made those four so much more interesting.
@@cyanartsy9477Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur seemed like it was ready to head in a way darker direction if the S1 finale and S2 premiere are any indication. Unfortunately that show isn't getting a third season, so they're just gonna have to wrap up what they have now
We don’t know that. They haven’t announced anything.
I wish Disney would stop recycling the same female protagonist in there cartoons, the sweet, culpable, naive, innocent, and always cheerful. At least in anime they have a reason why those characters are always cheerful, tragic backstory.
I feel like a lot of the plots for episodes just felt like unoriginal and over used plots from Disney Chanel original shows. It’s not that the plots are bad it’s just that they’re not unique.
After that finale, I am certain Sanjay Singh is not what he seems. The fact that he just happened to show up around the same time as the dance where Hailey planned to confess to Scott just as the two were told by that popular app that they weren't a perfect fit for each other shouldn't be a huge coincidence. Also, they shouldn't have spent a tentpole episode on a Christmas special, they should've had it be about Hailey, Scott and Beta going to the future with the Professor to find whoever created the Chaos Bots and try to stop them in the present. And it turns out the creator is actually a future version of Sanjay.
And one more thing, recently there were some HOI scripts for what might be/could've been a second season that were leaked, which opens right where the first season ended with Beta about to tell Scott that Hailey has feelings for him, but Beta can't because there's some kind of protocol in place that forces him to play disco music whenever he tries to reveal the kiss. If season 2 does happen, I'm suspecting a major plotpoint will be Beta trying to get around this.
Or Sanjay is a robot himself, sent from the future
Sanjay being a robot would be a twist straight out of Kim Possible, but it wouldn’t explain how they met at Botany camp, and how his family is a military family.
@@SunnylandProdsMaybe he was sent from the future or something
Maybe Sanjay was created or is a robot in disguise sent to infiltrate the school!
@@SunnylandProds I mean, Hailey and Scott are supposed to be inspired by Kim and Ron. As for everything else, I’m guessing fake memories.
i watch a few episodes and dont like it :/ but im sad for the fans of the show
like i dont know if i watch a bad episode or something but its look like its writting by a old people 😭 the tik tok like girl need to left her phone for an escape game and its terrible because you know its a teen 😭
Yeah, I’ve had a handful of people I’ve talked to mention that the humor feels very outdated. (I mean, they literally reference “2000 and late” in the finale, even though these kids were all born around the time 2000 and late was actually relevant.)
Bill Motz and Bob Roth are 10 years older than Devin Bunje and Nick Stanton, and yet TGAMM felt like it always had a solid grasp on youth culture and social media.
@@SunnylandProds about the list i think its like a butterfly effect like she need to make x tasks and bim consequence in the futur but its not explained
we have a show in france about a guy who come from the futur to save the wolrd like in the show, but the butterfly effect is explained and clear (like if you dont a soda canet in a bean its gonna make a big moutain of trash or something)
@@MouetteRoquefort but the list doesn’t even have to be completed in a specific order, and the butterfly effect was already a thing the second the chaos bots got sent back in time
I really think that the time travel stuff could've been avoided. Like, Beta really is the worst part of the show, but if they REALLY wanted to keep him, maybe it could've been... Something else.
Oh, what if Beta was actually a list item that went accidentally too well. Like, she wanted to build an actual android and she succeeded perfectly, but was half asleep while doing it so she can't recreate it without killing him to reverse engineering him. And the chaos bots are actually made by "Alpha". Hailey's first attempt to make an android that went wrong and she discarded it, thinking it was broken. So it ran away and started to build its own little minions just to mess with her. Alpha is trying to make Hailey fail, Beta is the voice of encouragement and Scott is the voice of fun.
Because the time travel stuff is really a second thought in this show. I think it's relevant in, like, 3 episodes tops. And if it's not important it should be removed.
Literally any version of the show that doesn’t include saving the world would be better.
I hope it gets a season 2 indeed
Yeah they can they can salvage at the ending for now we have talking car from
I stopped watching this series halfway, but the cliffhanger caught my interest.
And this is exactly why DuckTales was smart. They expected to be cancelled every season so they purposefully ended the episode in a way that would conclude the whole show. Buut if they got renewed, they had this little clip at the end that could segue into another. This just goes to show you, never get too comfortable with your show - you never know when the network might pull the plug.
I do think a second season is off the table at this point. But I hope they at least get a special or something to wrap things up. Instead of… this!
Yeah, unfortunately I doubt they’ll get anything else. The show wasn’t even popular enough to get picked up for a second season in spite of the star power attached to it, so it would take A LOT to convince Disney to do anything else.
People Have Been Calling Hailey X Scott The New Starco,I'm Just Gonna Leave It At That.
Ignore them.
Oh please, no ship will ever be as straight up Joker and Harley Quinn as Starco was.
Yeah this show was basically busy work the TV show
This show should’ve just been called shipping melodrama with terminators to me Haley’s on it never need to exist whenever I watch this show. I always figure why is this a thing?
I really hope that it gets a season 2 because come on the ending of season one Sanjay is real
We need to get season 2 happening!
Well I still believe we can get a season 2.
Ratings showed it, there is no confirmation, and rewatching it on Disney+ will increase it's numbers especially if we all watch the lastest batch once it comes out.
There is still hope if we all come together and watch it once it comes out and keep rewatching it.
If we keep raising those numbers we can save the show. That is our only hope.
Auli’i’s Spotify bio literally still says that the show was “short-lived”
@@SunnylandProds With all due respect, there is some grey area in short-lived. Meaning that they're deciding whether or not to cancel the series or give in one more season before calling it in.
Now with what your saying is true, if we do get a second season it will either be the same amount as season 1 or shorter. Therefore still being short-lived.
@@heroscentral9380 absolutely nobody talks like that about shows that are still running.
@@SunnylandProds Well even so, it is still true that viewing numbers increase on streaming do lead to better chances of more seasons, you told us about it during talk about The Ghost and Molly McGee.
@@SunnylandProds Actually, from what I read, a crew member debunked that bit. Whoever put that on her bio was clearly being vindictive.
The outro is a banger tho
My feelings on the show are complicated. Like what was said here I agree the science-fiction angle was completely unneeded. I never liked Beta and I would’ve liked it better if Hailey solved the list items of her own choice. Having someone poking her the back constantly was irritating.
A constant will they, won’t they can work, but I wished they had resolved it at the first season finale instead of dragging it out. Then, i would be more optimistic for second season stories. Like here I would like Hailey and Scott to realize they work better as friends.
I think it’ll get a Season 2 but it’ll probably only have 20 episodes (or less) to solve all the loose ends.
You make good points. The show wasn't all that in my opinion. The viewership wasn't that good and the show itself wasn't very entertaining. Everything seemed rushed and outta place. Hailey's personality was way too inconsistent throughout the show. The kiss plot was a drag and most of the characters were pretty boring so as much as I don't Ike shows being canned early, this is one of the few shows that I wouldn't mind not coming back. However, if it does somehow get another season, then they better fix EVERYTHING and I do mean EVERYTHING in order to make people watch and enjoy Hailey's On It more.
It's starco all over again
8:35
Literally my reaction too
While I do find the show a bit boring, I’m still invested in it. (Okay that might sound weird but I don’t know, that’s just how I feel about the show) and I do actually want a second season. This show has potential
14:40 I had that very feeling with “Lilo & Stich: The Series” and “Glitch Techs”, two shows that, despite being jam packed with action, failed to pique my interest. I think the problem was that the dialogue and characters from both were just not funny or something.
Disney Channel did Molly Mcgee and The Owl House wrong when it came to their season 3 which was either reduced to a few episodes or didn't happen at all.
Love the Doc Brown quote at the end! Personally, I never got very into the show. It felt like a very heavy handed attempt at making another Phineas and Ferb but without the whimsical nature to it. Almost like the characters weren't really trying to do something interesting. Hailey as a passive character isn't so bad, but she needs to have skin in the game apart from "Stopping the Terminator". In fact, if there was an actual Terminator hunting her, it would be more interesting. The two kids being forced to be together for the sake of the plot never works out in the end. Either their dynamic doesn't work or they do it for reasons that have no logic. I much prefer your version of what the show could be about, having Hailey be forced to move by the end of the summer and deciding to do the items on her list as a way to remember her time in the one home she ever knew. I will say that I liked Hailey actually standing up for herself and saying that she'll make those choices because she wants to and not because someone else tells her to.
I gave the show a chance, but after a while, I just got bored. Like you said, Hailey just isn't a strong protagonist. She's too passive and uninteresting to lead her own show. During every episode I've seen, I thought to myself; "If this show is just going to be a worse version of Phineas And Ferb, why should I not instead watch Phineas And Ferb?".
I literally loves this show and if they end it on a cliff hanger ima cry 😭 also I think AC creates the robots, because the robots recognized him in the last episode but I could be wrong but Disney pleaseeeee please add a new season!
In my opinion. The show just has a boring plot and the cast is kinda mid.
The show needs an entirely different premise. It doesn't even need a supernatural element. It really would've been better as a Lizzie Mcguire teen problem of the week show.
I think the cast does a good job with what they’re given, Auli’i is obviously wonderful. The whole idea of a teen girl doing a whole bunch of things she’s always been too scared to try is great! But it just didn’t need a sci-fi plot.
I didn’t know this show existed tbh
Not surprised, tbh
THIS SHOWS SO UNDERRATED THO BESIDES THE SHIP I'M ACTUALLY REALLY INTERESTED IN THE PLOT LIKE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN WHEN'S SHE'S DONE WITH THE LIST??? PPL NEED TO WATCH THIS THO IT'S ACTUALLY GOOD😭
Honestly, I didn’t really enjoy the show. I feel like it’s a sign where Disney channel shows start to get more clip shows animated in flash with the chibi shorts and theme song takeovers right when it’s about to end. Just look at the ghost and Molly mcgee for example and now this show which had a few clip shows, takeovers and chibi tiny tales for I assume to get more hype up around the series.
I love haileys on it
Those are usually planned for and budgeted regardless, though.
I don't think that's the case. As Chandler brings up, they are planned and budgeted way, WAY in advance.
We can’t end on a cliffhanger! 😢
I could take it or leave it. It was fun in concept, but execution was kind of lacking. Most of the time the list items were either too mundane or Hailey completed them way to easily or on an obvious technicality. And while the humor could be clever, a lot of the time it was way too cringe for my tastes.
Honestly I’m more annoyed because the Time glitch shows giant robots as well as fire. I was hoping that the Professor and the Chaos bots constant tampering with time would play a part in the later half of the season.
That’s pretty much the whole show in a nutshell. Fun in concept, but the execution left A LOT to be desired.
Your channel has inspired me to enhappify everyone around me
This feels like star & the forces evil
5:21 The point of the whole show is that it is contrived. A list a young girl made shouldn't have world-ending stakes. Also the moral of the episode is not to take a personality quiz too seriously. I think Hailey's fake boyfriend being real is part of a trick and we have to wait until next season to figure out who he really is if we get one.
Id say the moral would work better if they didn't have scott retake the quiz and actually GET butter- if the two decided "screw the quiz, i like you no matter what some dumb app says" it'd be a better moral bc it still kinda paints the algorithm as in the right the way it is now ngl
@@axolotlfairy2473 Yeah I agree with that. But a broken clock is correct twice a day.
It shouldn't but then we get these "time glitch" visions to an apocalyptic future.
You know what is shocked the most is that the creators not wanted that Hailey finish all her list and they even wrote this episode for(in which i believe) proove it
Honestly, I think this story ending like this is one of the most interesting ways it could go out. the actual predicable ending is just... so much less interesting.
It would have been nice if there was ANY advancement of the overall plot.
I think that at least some of the issues with the show could have been resolved in this episode was a mid season finale, not the season finale. At least then, the second half of the season could more meaningfully explore Hailey and Scott's relationship.
I think that the show is going to do a Gravity Falls-level twist: The source of the Chaos Bots was actually Hailey Banks herself.
Call me crazy but the ChaosBots look suspiciously like crabs... Hailey IS the Co-Crab Queen...and past episodes have shown that while Hailey seems to struggle with future technology Scott on the other hand seems to find the tech really simple and user-friendly...perhaps because it was actually his designs.
I'm starting to suspect that Scott is actually the true "Great Inventor" who positively impacts the future with Climate-control reversing technology and wasn't actually Hailey...And she doesn't like that truth.
After all, The Professor never seemed to question why Scott knew about her, the list, and the future...Because she knows that Hailey isn't actually that important...Scott is.
Heck, Haley's own father Kai even stated that she hit Scott with a flying Horseshoe 3 times in a row in the past...which may have led to head trauma that he is just now recovering from...unleashing bursts of surprising intelligence throughout the show that seemed to appear as a gag but were actually hints of Scott's latent potential.
Nobody else can see the Time Glitches but Hailey, Beta, and Him. Scott might be more than the love interest now...He might be the key to everything...
Well, this comment was more entertaining than anything that happened in the real show.
That sounds like a better show a better promise
That would genuinely be a better plot twist than anything that's in the show. But unfortunately, the Pitch Bible confirmed it was A.C. and the show itself heavily hints at that.
I like that you ended with a very meaningful Doctor Emmet Brown quote.🙂
plus The Ghost and Molly McGee was a much better Disney cartoon with much better character dymamics much funnier jokes and had a Great ending to it's second season
Also it is weird that Chaos Bot creator was AC
I mean, that totally checks out
@@SunnylandProds yeah since it took me a Film theory idea in Reddit before it happen and I think the Christmas special should have show the villain shadow but sadly it cheesy
I am honestly still hoping that’s a bit of a red herring, but that’s probably asking too much
They keep making their twists more predictable than usual... Like Todd and scratch being the same person @@Doze1202
Not surprising really 😂
Plus how is the guy real ? During the kissy Cards beta had to pretend he was Sanjay Singh( sorry if I spelled it wrong) he has to be a chaos bot in disguise
4:16
I thought it wa s pretty obvious, i mean to be fair i could be wrong but were probably jsut gonna have to wait and see if it gets a seocnd season but think about it, the list item itself is usually some result of her doing the list item, like its not her riding that one thing at the theme park its her saving everyone in the ride
Sure, but a lot of the list items *aren’t that*
So uh yeah I DO NOT CARE if this show gets canceled on a cliffhanger. I will not miss it whatsoever. The ending you made up is fine by me
Compare that with Monsters at Work season 2, where the characters drive the plot by themselves
Still need to watch Monsters at Work!
@@SunnylandProds I want Hailey's On It to have season 2 too! It's extremely wrong to end the season with a cliffhanger!!!!
Monsters at work is a different premise about ADULTS!🤦♀️ this is terrible comparison to even consider making 😣
@@gracekim25 It’s still a valid complaint that it feels like the plot is driving Hailey instead of Hailey driving the plot.
We all want the show to continue if Disney is gonna ruin another great show
I don’t really watch the show but I really don’t care for Haley and Scott relationship and don’t like how it’s the main goal of the story like we can’t have a male and female friendship unless it’s romantic and other Disney TVA couples going you two will definitely end up together is not buying me on the relationship ether
Hailey's on it! Season 2 I hope 😮😮😮
By the great blue, it WAS supposed to be a KimRon?! UGH-man they messed that up.
Also agreed on removing the sci-fi element, its such an impersonal stake, and the chaosbots themselves were barely used in the show to begin with.
tbh, this show could've had it's first season end on episode 20 with the cliffhanger. I feel this show has too much filler for a major serialized plot point.
I watched the first batch of episode on disney plus and got bored. It just doesn't do enough with the time travel plot in my opinion. And it rubbing the will they won't they in our faces just got obnoxious after a while.
I know one of the rules has sticking to the topic, but your intro with the Disneyland music gives me so much dopamine wow-
I hear that music every day at work!
0:48 I think there was a rescue show came out on that other Disney Network
I couldn't get into the show for mental health reasons, thinking about the future freaked me out for a while. Funny enough, Ghost and Molly Mcgee helped me come to terms with that.
This was a show you could watch.
It certainly ✨existed✨
I was hoping the show would start to pick up around the second season similar to amphibia and the owl house. Guess I'll probably never find out
I really wish they didn’t leave it on a cliffhanger
same
12:04 Oh my god your version is amazing !!!
Another reason why the show flopped was because Disney didn't release it early in other regions. And its not even on disney+ in many regions even though the show aired on Disney Channel in those countries.
What are your thoughts on indie animation? Have you seen The Amazing Digital Circus?
Tbh, when I heard that the show was coming out, I didn't really want to watch it. Completing items on a list to save the world is just kinda random fr-
High expectations can lead to disaster.
one help would be o show the list be a way to build permanent skills that she uses over and over again. They also need to dich the end of he world plot.
I think the major turn off for the romance for a lot of people is that it felt forced from the start-If she doesn't kiss him, there's world ending consequences, so it has to happen. Not because Hailey truly wants it, but because she has to. And her choosing to be with Sanjay for the dance is presented as selfish because... she's going against the list and doing it for herself? I like your pitch much better for it.
So if ac created the chaos bots then what if he’s a kidnapper like he could kidnap one of Hailey’s closes friends which is Kristen and hold them hostage til she surrender but after fighting the chaos bots ac grabs Kristen and runs off with her while Hailey and Scott try to rescue her
One of the things I like about Monsters At Work is that each season ends in a way that even if it doesn't get another season at least it's a proper conclusion. I remember a lot of cartoons outside of United States that have their first season end on a cliffhanger like 50/50 Heroes. I think it's a bad idea to end your show's first season on a cliffhanger unless you know that you are getting renewed.
Exactly!
If only Hailey had a chance to confess her feelings💖to Scott back in either "Seas the Day" or "The A-maize-ing Maze" then things would have been different in this episode. But then again Scott share some part of the blame too because if he had notice Hailey's feelings💖for him then maybe he wouldn't had made the biggest mistake of his life.
