All Riled Up

All Riled Up is the third animated series from Thrift Shop Tales Family Entertainment. Its first episode, The Sound of Screaming, premiered on July 26, 2018, alongside the failed series Squashed Grapes. While All Riled Up 's second episode had a lack of interest, Ash Eskeldson tried again with a third episode, which proved to be pretty popular. Thus, more episodes are planned for this series.

Plot

All Riled Up is an attempt at sitcom-esque humor, and the show is aimed at college students and teenagers (as opposed to Thrift Shop Tails, its tween-targeted counterpart). The show entails Riley Wilco's adventures with her children Fergus, Smokey, and, in later episodes, Kabby. Sometimes, it will contain the animals' adventures, but not too often to contain the more "adult" feel. Common targets of jokes are politics and parenting.

Development

Development began in Winter 2015, using a white girl named Meg, an inkblot character named Ringo Starrner, and a mongoose named Naughty. The general plot was very similar to the final product, but it was geared more to tweens. This phase of development used the name Naughty Indian! to refer to Naughty's bizarre antics. In Spring 2016, Naughty was replaced with a brown and white mongoose named Ornery, and the target demographic for this stage was set to teenagers. The show was renamed Ornery Patel. Early comic panels using similar plots were developed over this time frame using Littlest Pet Shop character Sunil Nevla. In 2017, Smokey was created to be a sidekick for Ornery, but this was scrapped as Riley and Fergus were created as replacements for Ornery. Rotten Mongoose!, a strip based off Naughty Indian!, was planned for the homeschool newspaper, but Squashed Grapes replaced it. In June of 2018, the name All Riled Up was finally used.
