10 Adult Animation Shows You Forgot Existed
Spaceballs: The Animated Series
You would think by 2008 television networks might have caught on that these animated adaptations of popular films didn’t work. Regardless, Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs was picked up by G4 and Canada’s Super Channel. The series was loose in its connection to the film. Instead, the series approached each episode as a parody of other pop culture references like Lord of the Rings or Grand Theft Auto.
Ultimately, Spaceballs: The Animated Series was doomed to fail before it even premiered. Initially marketed to release in fall of 2007 no information was released until much later when a June 2008 release was announced. Again, the date passed, and G4 failed to release the premiere, or subsequent information, despite the fact that the show had been released in Canada. It was not until September of that year before the first episode premiered but, by then interest had dwindled. Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs cartoon was never picked up for a second season.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
