The pitch bible for the series to never be "The Patakis". Leaker-Sama posted it on /co/ but hey atleast Vaicom didn't nuke it from orbit like the FOP stuff. https://archive.org/details/HeyArnoldPatakisBible/
We love stuff like this. It shows that anything good that happens in television is the exception not the norm.
The premise of this show was just, " Lets take Helga's life, fuck it up worse and make it a sitcom." The most unbelievable part is Olga as a loser, since her whole character is supposed to be the "perfect" sibling trope.
Oh well, as least Nick had the sense to let this idea die, if only they did that for All Grown Up Rugrats.

So years of coddling from both her over-praising parents and a misguided education system that focuses more on high grades in arbitrary, irrelevant subjects than actual life skills turn Olga into a directionless, underperforming person who's a victim of the false expectations of adulthood that had been systematically taught to her by an indifferent system? That really, really, REALLY hits too close to home. These guys totally nailed exactly what the next generation was gonna look like. They should've moved on to jobs as prophets instead of wasting their awesome ideas on Nickelodeon.
