A new show by the creator of ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]''.
 
Steve Wilde is the filthy rich son of an oil magnate. He's giving himself an award for being the "Humanitarium of the Fiscal Year" and invites Emmy Kadubic, his crush when he was younger.
Line 12:
Puddle, however, has other plans. She hates the rainforest and wishes to stay and [[I Just Want to Be Normal|be normal]]. With the help of Steve and Steve's equally rich neighbor Fa'ad, she finally gets her mother to stay, with Emmy convinced that she can change Steve's selfish ways.

== Tropes used in ''[[Running Wilde]]'': ==
 
* [[Actor Allusion]]: Another reference is made to Arrested Development when Andy says he's freezing off his "blue man group".
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Fa'ad, when he is helping Steve play hide and seek (or five hundred dollars if you can find me) with Puddle by hiding in the trunk of his car and discussing Emmy.
{{quote| '''Fa'ad:''' "Oh, Steve! You have a better chance at romance with me in the back of this Escalade than you do of getting that woman to go on a trip with you."<br />
'''Steve:''' "There's just so much baggage."<br />
'''Fa'ad:''' "We could move it." }}
* [[Can Not Tell a Lie]]: Subverted. Steve and Fa'ad can tell lies, they are just really, ''really'' bad at them. (Being rich means you don't have to lie apparently.)
Line 35 ⟶ 31:
* [[Parental Neglect]]: Emmy seems rather unconcerned that Puddle hasn't spoken for SIX months (She stopped speaking as she kept saying she wanted to leave the rainforest but was totally ignored)
* [[Royal Brat]]: Steve Wilde. Young Emmy convinces him that he should tell his father that either Emmy's mother stays or they (including Steve) leave.
{{quote| '''Emmy:''' "And that's the last time I saw him." <br />
'''Steve:''' "And that's when my got my first speed boat!" }}
* [[Shout -Out]]: When Steve and his dad(played by [[Arrested Development (TV series)|George Sr.]]) hug, the Arrested Development commercial break music plays.
* [[Stepford Smiler]]: Steve does this to make Andy look like a jerk. Andy does this to Steve to secretly kidnap him. They both do it at the same time.
* [[Strange Girl]]: Puddle (though she doesn't want to be strange, she wants to be normal).
* [[UpperclassUpper Class Twit]]: Steve Wilde.
