'Spaceballs' to become TV cartoon

LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- Mel Brooks is developing an animated TV series based on his comedy feature "Spaceballs."

Like the 1987 movie, which parodied well-known science-fiction movies, "Spaceballs: The Animated Series" will spoof current blockbusters as well as every genre of entertainment from movies and reality TV to culture and politics.

It is set to debut on cable network G4 in fall 2007. Production has already started on an initial batch of 13 episodes.

Brooks, who will voice two characters in the show, co-wrote the pilot with longtime collaborator Thomas Meehan, who will oversee all writing for the series.

I pray that he brings back Bill Pullman.

Prepare for hyperactive!

So, this is what became of Spaceballs 2.

I wonder if the series will be called "Space Balls 2: The Search for More Money"?

Ouch it's going to be on G4? Could they have picked a worse channel?

Yeah. They could have picked CSpan, Cspan2, MSNBC, The Food Network, that spanish channel, the weather channel, HSN, Any channel that has to do with religion, The disney channel, PBS, QVC, CMT, GAC, ABC Family, Nickelodeon, HGTV, CNBC, Court TV, The Golf Channel, Style, Oxygen, Hallmark Channel, The Travel Channel, Lifetime, Lifetime Movie Network, SoapNet, And any of the 25 MTV channels that are currently not playing music.

Nah. They're all (save for maybe the Lifetimes) more watchable than that demon of a station G4. No thanks G4, I don't need 24 hour programming of cheats for 10 month+ old console games. Give me TechTV back.
