Bouncing about Instagram tonight, I came upon this...

What is Intertropolis & Routeville?
Intertropolis & Routeville is an American upcoming television series that will premiere on Nickelodeon and Sintopia from Blanding Cassatt in the early 2020s. It will be all about the roads and highways including Interstate Highways, U.S. Highways, State Routes, and County Roads. It will revolve around two main characters named Interstate 48 and U.S. Route 86 living in a big metropolis called Highway City, which contains two twin cities called Intertropolis, Nevada for the Interstates, and Routeville, Utah for the U.S. Routes. The twin cities are separated by a curveless toll highway called Town Separator, treated as a border between Utah and Nevada.

Anyone else here know about this show?

Looks like bullshit. Got any sources from Nick?

If you're wondering about why you haven't heard about the media company, Blanding Cassatt, that's producing the show:

Blanding Cassatt is currently the newest multinational media conglomerate in the United States, founded in July 15, 2015 but was established seven years later in September 1, 2022.

Someone put in a lot of imaginative work to create these wikis.

Somebody has waaaaay too much time on their hands.

Interesting how the "Present Interstates" (from 2017) post from the Instagram is mostly correct, but I-18?  I-7? I-53?

Then, the Wiki has an entry for I-53:

Interstate 53 (I-53) is an Interstate Highway in the Midwestern United States. The southern terminus is near Arlington and Jarome at Interstate 44 in Missouri south of the Gasconade River. I-53 also intersects I-70 in Marshall Junction, Missouri; I-72 in Maconville, Missouri; I-80 in Killington, Iowa; I-90 near Winona, Minnesota; I-94 in Hixtonberg, Wisconsin; I-39 in Rothschild, Wisconsin; I-353 in Discipline Springs, Michigan; as I-53 reach its northern terminus at Interstate 75 in Animal City in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I-53 also serves five states including Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan.

I need to go back in time and tell my past self to make the excuse of establishing something the future to explain present-day non-existence.

Will the Lord High Alan allow and not allow this to air on cable systems in that land that shall remain nameless?

Maybe if you ask Goat Jesus he will and won't help you.

What if FritzOwl was a television director?

Well we know US 86 would be 86'd in this series, and The Interstates would be like Pinky and the Brain: trying to take over the world every night.

You lost me at "Nickelodeon".

Grand Unified Alan is and is not the actual title.

They lost me at that place that should never be referenced.

[WillWeaverRVA]

They lost me at "Sintopia." What kind of name of a fake kids' network is that? That sounds more like a casino than a network (unless said network aired adults-only content).

Anyway, this is crap, so the thread should probably be closed.

^Well, Nick did have a show called "The Naked Brothers Band".

Somehow I get the feeling this Intertropolis show would have zero mainstream appeal.

25-30 years ago it probably could have been a neat concept.  Supposedly younger audiences don't like road related anything (but Pixar movies somehow keep sneaking road stuff in).

The creator of this thing just tried to register. I decided we don't need that drama. But I will close the thread since we've established this is fictional.
