FOX is developing Spike Feresten’s ‘Massholes’ animated comedy

With no more American Dad or Cleveland Show and with having just cancelled Murder Police before it even started, FOX has a big ass gap for new animated comedies for Sunday Nights. Hoping to be a long-term solution for the problem, Spike Feresten is writing/producing a new animated series called Massholes along with 20th Century FOX.

According to Deadline.com, Massholes follows the adventures of Kevin Dunlevy, a smart nerdy tween trying to survive in a small Massachusetts town full of tough guys and half-wits.

From initial impressions, I’m getting an almost Napoleon Dynamite vibe, but with the lead character being thrown into a state known for its rabid sports fans (of which I am one) and stellar comedy scenes.

What say you? Like the idea?
