boxmore infomercial darrell i love you

one thing i noticed but never really internalized is that in "let's watch the boxmore show", the cameras used for afforementioned boxmore show actually belong to and were placed there by mr gar, but darrell can access the video feed through his desktop CRT (that he installed after boxman left)

and since the wall of tv screens connected to the plaza security cameras inside gar's office has been up since at least "we messed up" (and probably long before that)

all these things combined makes me think that boxman just straight up didnt notice the myriad of security cameras that he didn't install and cannot monitor just hanging out inside his own factory which definitely sounds like a boxman thing to do.

what im imagining specifically is that darrell didn't question the security cameras either, assuming they were boxman's, and when he became CEO he finally realized that there's no way to monitor them anywhere in boxmore, including boxman's office and engineering lab, so he just shrugged and set up an impromptu video feed and set it up conveniently on his desk (which gave him the idea for the game show in the first place)

these notes/episode ideas by danny ducker drive me crazy for multiple reasons but im especially putting thought into the "dendy's day at boxmore" bit because that honestly sounds like the perfect episode

i loved her interactions with ernesto in "ok dendy: let's be ko" and would love to see how she interacts with and reacts to the other bots- especially since she seems to know at least a little bit about them, whether it be through her own observations or anecdotes from KO (she also had some brief interaction with shannon in "dendy's power", not to mention how she was the one who motivated the boxbots to find new purpose in the plaza in "dendy's video channel", although if this episode was produced it would have taken place before that)

all i can think about is dendy seeing the horrific working conditions in boxmore and being like "???? this is nowhere near osha compliant, how can you even work like this??" and the bots just shrug and go "we lose like 8 darrells a day in workplace accidents. whenever the osha inspector comes over boxman sets up a bunch of traps and puzzles until they give up and leave"

dendy would also enjoy studying the actual manufacturing process of the bots, the glorb processing plant, professor venomous's bioengineering projects, and etc... maybe she would even stumble upon something she isnt supposed to see relating to shadowy figure (and recognizing that it's something sinister, while not really understanding the significance of it) ...

we could have seen some interaction between fink and dendy too, which is something we missed out on in the main series... theyre the only two "main" kid characters that never got to meet each other- theres lots of interactions between KO and fink & dendy and KO, so being able to see the dynamic between fink and dendy would have been really fun... dendy would probably be very interested in her as a specimen, considering fink has definitely been experimented on in the past & dendy's interest in turbonic energy could lead to her conducting a study on fink's turbo collar. fink could also easily convince dendy to help her get up to mischief lol

now your circuits are fried!
