A Charlie Brown/Louie Mash Up from Fox ADHD

by | December 18th, 2012

ADHD, the Fox network's upcoming late night animation block, continues to pump out cool web videos. Their latest is "A Charlie Brown Christmas Reunion," which combines Peanuts with Louie, following a middle-aged Charlie Brown returns home as he sees all the depressing things that have happened to his friends. Sure, it misses the guy flipping off the camera in the opening credits, something that other great Louie parodies have included. Aside from that, though, it's pretty solid.

Nick Offerman Returns for Another 'Axe Cop' Video

by | January 22nd, 2013

Here's some new test footage from the upcoming Fox series Axe Cop, which is based on the web comic of the same name created by a 5-year-old and debuts this July. It features Parks and Recreation's Nick Offerman voicing the titular Axe Cop, which is perhaps the toughest name for a character possible but still not tough enough for a guy like Nick Offerman.

Fox's new Adult Swim-esque late night Saturday animation block ADHD, is set to premiere in January, and here's some test footage from one of their new shows, Axe Cop.

Nick Weidenfield is Bringing Crazy, Weird, Unironic Animation to Fox

by | June 27th, 2012

After spending seven years heading up development over at Adult Swim, Nick Weidenfield is in the process of creating a very similar late-night animated block over at Fox called ADHD (Animation Domination High-Def). He explained to Fast Company how ADHD will differ from Fox's regular animated fair and Adult Swim:

There’s just more room for us to be experimental than in primetime. Conceptually, ADHD will be broader than some of the stuff that we worked on at Adult Swim, but in terms of execution, it will still be weird and late night—the shows will have the kinds of jokes and the kind of storytelling that will be too [...]
