Spike TV Is Gonna Die, So Let’s Remember Six Animated Shows From The Failed Network
Yep…we were supposed to get “Howard Stern: The High School Years” an animated retelling of Howard’s horrendous upbringing in the all-black neighborhoods of Rutherford, NY. The show didn’t come to pass because Spike didn’t want to pay $225000 an episode to animate the series, instead, begging Howard to go Flash. Howard balked, having preferred a hand-drawn format, and that’s why this didn’t happen.
There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
