"Spaceballs" to become an animated series

From CNN:

Quote:

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.

It just continues....

It's going to be on G4.

It'll be like it doesn't exist! I don't see the problem.

I thought G4 was supposed to be about video games. Everytime I look there's some non-video game show on, like the Man Show or Star Trek. That channel has gone down the tubes like MTV.

Or has vastly improved since they replay episodes of Arrested Development.

I thought Mel Brooks was making a real sequel to the movie?

Spaceballs is the least funny Mel Brooks movie besides Dracula. Pfft. The last time I liked watching it, it was age-appropriate (i.e., 8)

The logistics of that probably fell through and he's making the cartoon series as a personal compromise.
