8/23: CREATORS DAY Austin & Ally Appreciation Week kicks off today! And we're starting the week off with two very important people...

KEVIN KOPELOW AND HEATH SEIFERT

We know these names, we see them at the end of every episode, they’re the reason why we’re all the Austin & Ally maniacs we are today, it’s the Austin & Ally creators! Today we are taking a day to appreciate these two talented guys who are the whole reason why we wiggle our arms up and down then clap whenever we hear our jam, why we laugh whenever someone says their name is Monica, why we can’t help but sing the word soup whenever we read it on the menu at the Melody Diner…I mean the local diner. Heck, they’re the reason why most of you even got what any of that meant! They’re the reason for this show and honestly, I don’t even know if we can thank them enough for it.

FUN FACT: Did you guys know that Kevin Kopelow played the role of Kevin the Stage Manager in the hit Nickelodeon show, "All That"? Wasn't a big role but it was important!

Let’s take it from the top shall we? Austin & Ally was first announced in December 2010 as a pilot for Disney Channel that was currently casting. That’s when it was first announced that Heath Seifert and Kevin Kopelow (who had worked on hit shows such as “Sonny with a Chance,” “JONAS,” “Kenan & Kel,” and “All That”) would be executing producing the show. It wasn’t until May 2011 that the show was picked up and announced to the public! We don’t know what Kevin and Heath’s reaction was like but we imagine it was something like this:



Okay maybe not that crazy. :P The show then premiered December 2, 2011 to many people who all had a new favorite on their hands. So far, Kevin and Heath have taken the lead to write over 20 Austin & Ally episodes. Let’s take a look at some of their famous lines they wrote: "What's your biggest fear?"

Do these quotes bring you back to any times? Kevin and Heath wrote some amazing scripts that made us feel emotional, made us smile, and above all made us laugh. Thank you Kevin and Heath!

FUN FACT: Did you guys know Heath Seifert has the same birthday as Laura Marano, November 29...which is also Ally's birthday?

Not only have they brought us an amazing show, but they also have stayed connected to fans of the show throughout the series' run with their Twitter account! They're always posting behind the scenes pictures, fun facts about episodes, and fun tweets in general about the show! Take a look at some of their tweets:

There's a ton more so you can click here to go through all of their tweets. And now let's ease our eyes through this gallery of pics of Kevin and Heath!

I guess we can wrap this up with a big five word exclamation:

THANK YOU KEVIN AND HEATH!

Whether it's online, to their face, or even to yourself, take sometime to thank these two today. :)

But wait, Creators Day doesn't stop here! Join us later today on our Austin & Ally Wiki Twitter where Kevin and Heath will be taking over our Twitter account to do a Q&A! To ask them questions, use the hashtag #AskPicklesAndPancakes and they might just answer you! Tell them how much you appreciate them and the show, that's what this is all about! Hope you see you there!

P.S. Personally from the Austin & Ally Wiki, thank you Kevin and Heath for not just the show which is the reason why this wiki is a thing but also for always being so supportive of us and for even agreeing to celebrate this event with us! Love you guys!
