Spaceballs Series Shlepping To G4
Published by Rachel Baumbach September 21st, 2006 in Entertainment, Television.
The Schwartz is with G4; Spaceballs is being reincarnated as an animated series on the G4 network. It’s been almost 20 years since Mel Brooks’ Star Wars parody was released back in 1987. See, we did the math for you.
Mel Brooks is certainly making the most of his goldenyears, that’s for sure. As long as he lets Life Stinks stay in the grave, we welcome him bringing back the oldies in new forms.
“We are thrilled to be working with two legends of the entertainment industry, Mel Brooks and MGM, on this exciting new series.” said Berliner exec Rainer Soehnlein. “The Brooks imagination combined with the creative possibilities of animation will definitely make for something brand new in TV comedy.”
“As the go-to network for men 18-34, irreverent humor is one of the benchmarks of our programming philosophy, as is animation. Mel Brooks’ classic movies ‘Young Frankenstein’ and ‘Blazing Saddles’ are just as relevant to our young male audience today as they were when they were first released. His brand of humor will resonate well with our viewers,” gushed Neal Tiles, president of G4.
13 half-hour episodes are already in production and will debut on G4 in Fall 2007.
