The Paradox Network

The Beginning of Something New: 2010-2013
The Paradox Network was created by Paradox Studios, subsidiary of Paradox INC. in 2010. The Network was created by Paradox Studios out of anger because no TV channel would air The Legend of Zelda, a TV series that Paradox Studios and Nintendo were co-developing. After purchasing a TV Network, Paradox INC. CEO Jack Smith had no clue what to do, and sent the channel over to Paradox Studios.

They began developing The Legend of Zelda with Brooke Jordan leading the project. They quickly realized they needed more than one show, and began developing a second show. Pitched by Ana Dixon, fresh out of film school, would go on to become The Junkyard Kids, one of the most popular shows on the Network. The head of Paradox Studios, Robert White, picked Jordan to be the head of the network. At 23, Brooke Jordan would become the youngest TV Network Head, beating Fred Silverman by 8 years.

In fall of 2012, The Junkyard Kids and The Legend of Zelda would air on the newly established Network. The two shows easily attracted millions of people, mainly because of ''The Legend of Zelda. A year later, My Weird School, Hobo Town, and Community College ''would air on the Network, solidifying it as a solid TV Network.

A Runaway Success: 2014-2016
Despite the controversy that Newman Labs received and its cancellation for episodes about child experimentation, the Network would continue to draw in millions of viewers. Macy's Market became the first spinoff series on the Network. Jordan said in an interview "We want to make sure that spinoffs are done right. None of these spin-offs of recently cancelled shows for money. Our spinoffs will air at the same time as the main series, and they'll actually develop the story further." Macy's Market would become an example for how to do successful TV spinoffs for years to come.

In 2015, Brooke Jordan, Ana Dixon, and Chloe Rogers, show-runner of My Weird School, were nominated as three of the most influential women of the year. Jordan won third place, and Dixon won eighth, with Rogers not making the top twenty spot.

Meanwhile, Head of Paradox Studios Robert White was working hard at trying to sign a major deal with Cambridge University to get a TV Show deal about the Cambridge Latin Course. He and Jordan would travel to the U.K. for two months to negotiate the deal. CEO of Paradox INC. Jack Smith threatened to buy the entire Country of England, as Paradox INC. had just become worth $1.6 Trillion Dollars and he was feeling cocky.

In December 2015, the deal would go through, allowing them to develop a show. Sacrilegious had also recently aired, and was a major success with audiences. It was clear that the Paradox Network was not slowing down anytime soon.

The Most Profitable Years 2017-2020
Brooke Jordan received backlash for not green-lighting enough shows. The Network still had not reached 15 shows by early 2017, even though it had been going for five years. She also received backlash for The Junkyard Kids taking way too long to air a full season, hurting the Network. Jordan refused to respond to the critics. People called for her firing, but White confirmed in an interview that Jordan wouldn't be going anywhere anytime soon.

In May, a new live action series called Space Race was announced. The show followed a second space race, as each major country competed. It became an immediate success, and would go on to air eight seasons. Later that fall, another show called The Dumbest Heist would also become a major success.

In August 2017, Hurricane Harvey roared through Houston Texas, drowning the entire region. Smith ordered an immediate evacuation of every employee, paying for their evacuation and home repairs, as well as their time away from work. The company relocated to its Sister Location in Dallas. Since then, the company has resided in the building as the previous complex suffered severe damages. A new complex is to start construction in 2020 to officially build the new Paradox Super-Complex is Dallas, and build two more sister locations in Austin Texas and Phoenix Arizona. Estimated to be a $20 billion dollar project, with the Network getting its own building, separate from Paradox Studios's building.

The hurricane negatively affected the network however. No new episodes of TV shows could be produced, canning the last nine episodes of My Weird School Season 5 permanently, and causing a three year hiatus in The Junkyard Kids, as well as a major delay in episodes from all tv shows airing at the time.

In 2018, The Very Real Stories of D.C. and Catholic School Bus both enraged Conservatives for their depictions of Republicans and Christians. One being a satirical comedy about what was happening in Washington, and the other being about a Catholic family that wouldn't stop having kids. The shows would be highly successful however, and would both run for at least five seasons. In June, Brooke Jordan green-lit a My Weird School spin-off.

Brooke Jordan contemplated stepping down in early 2019 following allegations that she was intentionally driving the Network to the ground. She ignored these claims. She started by that in fall 2020, they would air ten live action shows, all pitched by the community. Throughout early 2019, the community would vote for their ten favorite. The final ten would be announced at Comic-Con.

At San Diego Comic Con 2019, Hollywood's Greatest Show, The Goodberry Conspiracy, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, SCP, and Diary of a Depressed Girl were all announced and were given trailers alongside The Junkyard Kids and My Weird School getting new season trailers. Hollywood's Greatest Show would join many others as being one of Paradox's most controversial show. Jordan also announced a second channel Paradox Kids would be created to start airing shows for children. She confirmed Dr. History and My Weird Fast Facts would be the only two being put on at that time. This reassured My Weird School fans, worrying that the show would be classified as a kiddie-show.

The ten live action tv shows that won the vote were, Conspiracy; Six Drunk People and a Swimming Pool; Micro-Transactions; Holy Punishment; No Scripts Needed; One Wife, Two Wife, Red Wife, Blue Wife; So You Want to Get Adopted?; Libertarians on an Island; Viral; and Collectors City 

Hollywood's Greatest Show and The Goodberry Conspiracy both became the Networks two shows for annoying edgy teens. Both Shows contained dark storylines and touched on real life subjects. SCP drew in quite a large crowd as well.

In 2020, the Network would continue to churn out new live-action programs. Two on top of the ten in the community vote. Six Miles Outside Phoenix Arizona would become popular with fans of mysteries and other related genres. Of the ten winners, Conspiracy, Micro-Transactions, and Libertarians on an Island would become the three most popular and beloved of the ten. Others, would be panned. In the end, all of the shows made profit and in the end that's all corporate cares about.

A New Direction 2020-2022
In late 2020, Jordan said in an interview with Variety that 2021 would be light on new programming due to the twelve shows they put out in 2020. Two of the shows were spin-offs, which didn't resonate well with fans. Urban Legends however, did surprisingly well.

In 2022, Jordan and White held the first official Paradox Studios Live Event, where they would announce the TV and Film slates of the year. Jordan announced four brand new children shows and four brand new regular shows, alongside the six new films announced to be releasing by Paradox Studios. All of the childrens shows would be based around existing HarperCollins books, but Jordan confirmed that original projects were in the works.

Brooke Jordan
Brooke Jordan was selected has head of the Paradox Network by Paradox Studios President Robert White. She was and still is the youngest Network Head in history, taking control at 23. While it is rumored that she was sleeping with White at the time, this has never been confirmed. She is responsible for green-lighting all shows on the network, and former Show-Runner of ''The Legend of Zelda. ''

Ana Dixon
Ana Dixon was a fresh out of college film student that pitched The Junkyard Kids to Brooke Jordan in early 2011 when the Network was announced. Jordan took a liking to Dixon and agreed to the project. Dixon was named Vice President of the Network is early 2018. She continued to be the Show-Runner and Executive Producer on The Junkyard Kids, as well as on Macy's Market. She was chosen to Executive produce SCP and became the Show-Runner on Life is Boring and Executive Produced Urban Legends, Libertarians on an Island, and Conspiracy.

Chloe Rogers
Chloe Rogers was Jordan's friend who was working at Nickelodeon at the time. She left though to pursue a Show-Runner position on ''My Weird School. She served as Show-Runner and Executive Producer on all eight seasons, and served as Executive Producer on its two spin-offs, My Weird Fast Facts, and Yonkers Labs''. She also served a producer role on Diary of a Wimpy Kid  and Urban Legends. She, Dixon, and Jordan became three of the most influential women of the decade, much to the dismay of SJWs.

Paradox Kids
In late 2018, Brooke Jordan was approached by White and told that corporate had asked them to start developing shows for children, as they were spreading their resources on teenage-adult aged demographics and it was hurting the potential revenue stream. Jordan decided that it was too difficult to air children and adult shows on the same network, and went to CEO Smith to propose acquiring a second channel. Smith agreed, and Paradox Kids was created. For three years however, My Weird Fast Facts and Dr. History were the only two shows to air on the channel, as it was taking a long time to get childrens shows created, while also overseeing a the main network. In early 2021, when The Legend of Zelda TV Contract was renewed, the contract was also expanded. Paradox Studios would produce three full length movies based off of Nintendo franchises, as well as three full length television shows. The Adventures of Captain Toad was an idea from Nintendo as a show for their empty Children's Network. This inspired Jordan to begin developing shows for the channel.

Due to their acquisition of HarperCollins in 2008, Paradox INC. retained full television and movie rights to over 800 published media, according to their updated contract with authors. Frog and Toad  was a part of this list. A show began immediate development and was planned to arrive on the network at the end of the year. It was delayed due to a lawsuit from Adrianne Lobel, the daughter of Frog and Toad's author Arnold Lobel. The lawsuit fell through and Paradox INC. and HarperCollins retained the television rights. Unlike Adrianne Lobel, most authors were honored when they were notified that their books would be adapted into a television show.

The channel would become a big success, and would become a free and constant money stream for the Network to use towards more big-budgeted shows.

The Paradox Network App
In late 2019, CEO of Paradox INC. Jack Smith held a press conference. During the conference, he invited Robert White and Brooke Jordan to talk about the Network as well as Paradox Studios as a whole. He announced that Paradox would be setting up an app for all Paradox Shows to be put on. The Paradox Network App would release sometime in 2020. Either for $4.99 a month or by inputing your TV Provider information, you could have full access to every show ever aired on the Paradox Network, with the exclusion of Neman Labs, which at that point had never aired re-runs and was only available on its Blu-Ray release.

The app became a major success, and spread the shows of the Paradox Network to many more viewers. The app held opinion polls for episodes, gathered data, and held frequent QnA's with Paradox Network Staff. The app would become available on computers, and entertainment systems. This allowed the app to spread wider, and the net-worth of Paradox INC. to get larger.
