New Adult Swim Shows in Development


The ever-expanding Adult Swim program block is continuing to throw new shows on the pile. In addition to recently announced pilots for Tony Millionaire's Drinky Crow, Evan Dorkin's Tyrone's Inferno, an untitled new series from the creators of Harvey Birdman, and a series called Super Jail from the creators of the short film Barfight, Cartoon Network has now announced three more.
Gemberling is based on a live-action web series of the same name by the Cowboy & John comedy team, whose website hosts 8 episodes of the cyberspace adventure, which involves a douchey computer programmer accidentally being sucked into an Internet war. It also features Human Giant's Rob Huebel in a supporting role. No word on whether the show will be switched over to an animated format or stay the way it is, but anything is possible now that Cartoon Network is airing Men in Black on a regular basis.
The other two shows are called Let's Fish and Western Times. There is no information on either of them at this time, and they may in fact be a product of Wikipedia's imagination.
In other Adult Swim news, they are currently airing new episodes of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, 12 oz. Mouse, Squidbillies, Metalocalypse, Moral Orel, and the brand new shows Frisky Dingo (from the creators of Sealab 2021) and Assy McGee (from Jon "Coach McGuirk" Benjamin). New episodes of The Boondocks, Perfect Hair Forever, Harvey Birdman, and Robot Chicken are coming in 2007, and a third season of Venture Bros. will most likely be announced soon. Lucy: Daughter of the Devil, Saul of the Mole Men, and The Tim and Eric Show, Great Job! have been greenlit for first seasons that will begin soon. Korgoth of Barbaria had damn well better get picked up as well.
In case you didn't know, you can watch all these fine programs for free on the Adult Swim Fix at adultswim.com.
