One of the more promising out of many recent pilots ordered by Adult Swim was Drinky Crow, based on a character from underground comic-book hero Tony Millionaire's Maakies strip, who also showed up in a series of Saturday Night Live shorts, and all over merchandise for They Might Be Giants. Millionaire recently updated his fans on the show's progress, saying the pilot is complete and may air as early as March, at which point Adult Swim will guage the public reaction with their own feelings, and decide whether or not to order a full run. The aforementioned Giants have recorded the theme song, and voice cast is rather excellent, featuring V.O. favorite Billy West in the titular role, plus Dave Herman (best known as Michael Bolton in Office Space and for his work on Mad TV) and Tom Kenny (best known from Mr. Show and...well, he's Spongebob). Not shabby, Mr. Millionaire! Not shabby at all.
Adult Swim has no new pilots or premieres listed on the schedule for now, but they presumably have That Crook'd Sip, Super Jail, I Know - Let's Blow Up the Moon, Gemberling, Western Times, and Let's Fish waiting in the wings, and possibly full-season pickups for the previously aired pilots Korgoth of Barbaria and Lucy: Daughter of the Devil.
