Mia Stories

 is an American hand puppetry shock humor webseries created by Kenneth Dumont (best known for being director and writer of the animated rap musical PikaRap) for The CC APP. It is the first show to be an original for the app instead of airing on the channel it's based on. The show is unique for having characters being represented by bare hand puppets, though it is similar to a Noggin show, Oobi. The show is also the first to feature shock humor. It's rated TV-MA, and requires login from anyone aged 18+.

On May 10, 2017, the show was renewed for a second and last season of 26 episodes (78 segments) set to air in late 2017/early 2018, bringing the show to a total of 52 episodes (156 segments). However, a reboot of the show is set to air on The CC (Cartoon Comedy) in 2019. It will be half-CGI/hand puppetry, and the first rated TV-MA show on the channel.

The show is the most popular on The CC APP, and gets 3 million viewers/episode. So on June 3, 2017, the original episode order of 26 eps./78 segmts. was expanded to 40 eps. The second season has also extended its episode order to 39 eps./117 segmts. A third season was announced, which ended the second season's status as the last season. The third season has an order of 26 eps./78 segmts.

A fourth season could be possible, so The CC APP is currently holding a poll seeing the public's opinion on a fourth season. So far, 45% of the respondents have responded in agreement to a fourth season. The poll has been set to end by the end of June 2017 and, if more than 50% of respondents agree, a fourth and last season of 13 eps./39 segmts. could air.

The first season will end with a movie called A Mia Movie: The Mia Stories Movie that will last for an hour. This means that it will take the span of two episodes.

Plot
The plot features the adventures of a cookie-loving bare hand puppet girl named Mia (Dipper) and her boyfriend, another hand puppet, this time a boy, named Edben (3D83N).

Voice cast

 * Mia (Dipper) - A girl who seems to have bad luck and has a boyfriend, Edben. Like her friend Ruby, she has an extreme libido. She loves cookies but usually can't get any.
 * Edben (3D83N) - Mia's boyfriend who is always with her and never seems to go home.
 * Ruby (Dipper) - Mia's friend with extreme libido who first appears as stripped naked for her in Mia's Birthday. She is shown oggling over Jacob Sartorius, though later it is MattyBRaps, after an incident involving Jacob Sartorius in Jacob Sartorius at Oakwood. She is officially Eileen's spouse since the episode When Eileen Bells Toll, and they adopt a kid named Billy Langley Wannapopo in Eileen and Ruby Adopt a Kid. Since her relationship with Eileen, she has restrained herself from MattyBRaps, and has become less and less sexual with other people.
 * Eileen Wannapopo (Dipper) - An obese Indian kid who speaks broken English and is sometimes the antagonist of many episodes. He marries Ruby in When Eileen Bells Toll and is her husband. They adopt a kid in the episode Eileen and Ruby Adopt a Kid, which they name Billy Langley Wannapopo.
 * Rosie (Dipper) - A self-proclaimed "weaboo" who loves anime and is John's unrequited love. Her favorite anime is revealed to be Yuri on Ice.
 * John (Dipper) - A pretentious verbose kid who has an unrequited crush for Rosie.
 * Ghetto Lunch Lady (Dipper) - A lunch lady who speaks Ebonics. Her main catchphrase is "Boi!", which is directed at anyone, male or female.
 * The Principal (Dipper) - The annoying principal of Oakwood, Mia, Edben, and Ruby's school, who enunciates everything he says. It was revealed in Ruby and the Late-Night Disturbance that he was murdered after the episode ended, offscreen, and was replaced by the principal from the rival school Cypress Grove, who took his identity. This is proven false, however, as he gets killed after an argument with the principal of Cypress Grove, though he does get killed by him.
 * Momma Cumma (Dipper) - A former 70s lesbian porn star who's a septuagenarian retiree.
 * Esmeralda (Dipper) - Ruby's mother who begins a relationship with the principal after he breaks up with Mrs. Forsyth. After the principal dies, she almost tries to kill herself in Grief on the Principal, but gets saved by her own daughter Ruby and ends up paralyzed. In Esmeralda Finds Love Again, she and the former vice principal hook up following her de-paralyzation.
 * Mrs. Forsyth (Dipper) - Our three friends' science teacher who knows little to nothing about science and puts on Pornhub for most of her classes. She and the principal were together for a while, but ended their relationship.
 * Billy Langley Wannapopo (Dipper) - Eileen and Ruby's adopted kid whom they, well, adopt in Eileen and Ruby Adopt a Kid. His middle name comes from his parents' favorite reality TV show spoof of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, named A Look at the Langleys.
 * The Secretary (3D83N) - The secretary of Oakwood who's usually called a "secretarian" (pronounced "secret + tarian") in a mocking way.
 * The (Vice) Principal (Dipper) - The former vice principal of Oakwood who is now the official principal of Oakwood following the other principal's death in The Principal Who Was Killed After All. However, it's not until Mia and the Specials Class where she's realized as the principal. She and Esmeralda hook up after Esmeralda is relieved of her paralysis in Esmeralda Finds Love Again. 
 * The Principal of Cypress Grove (Dipper) - The former principal of Oakwood's rivaling school Cypress Grove who acts just the same as the principal of Oakwood. He killed the principal of Oakwood in The Principal Who Was Killed After All. He also dies in the same episode after succumbing to injuries from being poisoned with water that the vice principal threw at him.
 * Mrs. Villarreal (Dipper) - Mia's mom who hates her and doesn't give her any cookies at all. She treats Maleni as her favorite and likes her more, and gives her cookies and not Mia. She is shown to hate asparagus.
 * Maleni (Dipper) - Mia's younger sister who's liked more by Mrs. Villarreal than Mia. She always gets cookies from her mom, being the favorite and all, and does ballet.
 * Diego (Dipper) - Mia's brother younger than Maleni who likes the show Go, Diego, Go! and makes almost no appearance at all, only being shown in Mia in: No, Diego, No!.

Production
The show was not planned for The CC 2017-18 seasonal broadcasting schedule. Matter of fact, it aired on the app unannounced and with little to no marketing at all. This is similar to comedian Louis C.K.'s show, Horace and Pete, which aired on his website without any announcements prior to airing.

Season 1 (2017-)

 * All episodes are written by creator Kenneth Dumont.
 * Episodes debut weekly on the app. Recently, it has been daily.

Season 2
A second season was announced on May 10, 2017, with 39 episodes and 117 segments announced for said season. It was to be the last season before the show gets rebooted in 2019, but a third season ended that status. The season will premiere on June 16, 2017.

Season 3
A third season of 26 episodes and 78 segments was announced along with seasons 1 and 2 extended episode orders.

Season 4
A fourth season is possible with the help of a poll set up to see the audience's opinion, found in the app. 45% of respondents have agreed to a fourth season. If made, this season would be the last and have 13 eps./39 segmts.

Reboot
On May 10, 2017, a second season was announced for the show, in addition a reboot set to air in 2019. Though details for this reboot are scarce, it has been announced the show will be a puppet/CGI-animated hybrid TV series that will retain its shock humor, though this means the show will air late at midnight on Friday nights with a TV-MA rating.

Gags
The webseries relies heavily on gags on each episode/3 segments. The most included ones are as follow
 * Our three main characters (especially Mia) getting their names butchered, mostly by the character Eileen, who has an accent and probably a lisp. This has expanded, in later episodes, to simply being Mia getting her name butchered by many people that don't necessarily apply to Eileen. Mia's butchered full name has been: Mima Villafalsa. Funny enough, in Mia and Mima, a character named Mima Villafalsa (later revealed as a killer), appears as fake, a nod at Mia's buthcered name being fake as well.
 * From episode 30 onwards, asparagus has been used heavily in a comical way. Mrs. Villarreal has been shown to hate it.
 * Eileen's greetings towards our three main characters: "Ah, hallo, Mima, Adbin, and Rooba!". Sometimes he only greets Mia.
 * Mia's constant grounding by her mom.
 * Most episodes began with our three friends at lunch. Ruby is one of the first characters to talk in these scenes.
 * A narrator explaining scenes and places in the series. He also says each segment title.
 * Some episodes are the trope "Bizarro Episode", whereas weird and downright bizarre things happen in a show usually normal. In fact, all episodes could be considered "Bizarro Episodes".
 * Mia and Ruby are shown to have "extreme libidos", another trope. They mostly have sex with just about anyone, male or female, young or old. This gag has been used less and less as the season goes on.
 * John-centered episodes tend to revolve around his so-called "smarts" backfiring on him in some way.
