Last October, Parks and Recreation's Adam Scott debuted The Greatest Event in Television History, an Adult Swim special in which he and Jon Hamm recreated shot-for-shot the opening credits sequence to cheesy '80s detective show Simon & Simon. Scott has a second Greatest Event special, which was previously reported to star him, Amy Poehler, and Horatio Sanz, set to air June 6th, and TV Guide reveals today that the new special will see Scott and Poehler recreating the intro to the 1979-1984 series Hart to Hart, in which they'll take on the roles of Jonathan and Jennifer Hart, a millionaire and his wife who become amateur detectives. Horatio [...]
Paul Scheer's 15-minute Adult Swim series is about to get longer. Scheer announced via his blog today that production is about to begin on a TV movie version of his crime procedural parody NTSF:SD:SUV. The movie version is called NTSF:SD:SUV:London and finds the San Diego team traveling to the UK to join forces with London's STSF:UK:DDB:: (Socialist Strike Force UK Double Decker Bus). Peter Serafinowicz and The Mighty Boosh's Julian Barratt will be appearing in the TV movie, along with a handful of UK actors in the poster who I wasn't able to identify. The movie is set to premiere late this summer, which is when the show returns for [...]
Tim and Eric’s new YouTube channel JASH may not have the same amazing ring to it as Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, but fans of the TV show will be happy to know JASH has a lot of the same sensibilities.
And it would be one thing if JASH was exclusively a venture between Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, but the channel has comedic heavyweights Reggie Watts, Sarah Silverman, and Michael Cera as partners as well.
Together, they're producing short films, music videos, web series, and other projects for JASH, which Wareheim describes as a “place of good.” Since Tim and Eric went off Adult Swim three [...]
Adult Swim has a new 11-minute cop comedy on the way. Deadline reports the network has greenlit a live-action pilot called Hole to Hole that'll be created by longtime South Park writer Pam Brady, who also penned Hamlet 2 and an early draft of Hot Rod, and will star MADtv alumnus Arden Myrin, who spent four seasons on the now-defunct Fox sketch show from 2005 to 2009 and is also a regular on Chelsea Lately. Hole to Hole is a parody of cheesy '80s cop shows and follows Ashleigh and Amelia Dangerhole, America’s sexiest billionaire detectives. If the show gets picked up, it'll be Adult Swim's fourth cop show [...]
"It's not a silly comedy anymore. It's a silly drama."
As Delocated star and creator Jon Glaser points out, you can’t really describe his show any better than Sergei’s line in the first episode of the show’s second season. So it makes sense that Delocated, which ended its three seasons with a half-hour finale last night, went out in dramatic fashion.
(Spoilers ahead!)
