We Are One Step Closer To A “Code Monkeys” Revival With The Teased Return Of G4

The year 2020, the year of looking back? With Comedy Central rebooting Beavis and Butt-Head and maybe Clone High, HBO MAX doing the same with The Boondocks, and now this news, this year could be the year of reboots of classic animated franchises. Comcast is unofficially confirming the return of the G4 network, an esports gaming and lifestyle network to re-launch next year which, if you’re on Twitter, you know what happened next….a whisper of a Code Monkeys revival.

That’s right, together with NBC’ Peacock featuring the library of the classic animated franchise and creator/voice Adam de la Pena throwing a few teases in the last few months, it seems the fans are ready for this announcement to happen sooner rather than later. Note, that a revival of the series would also go great with a second-window in Syfy’s TZGZ lineup.

The plot of Code Monkeys revolves around the fictitious video game company GameaVision (a play on companies like Activision and Intellivision) and its eccentric employees, mainly the slacker Dave and his high-strung friend Jerry. The entire series takes place in the Silicon Valley city of Sunnyvale, California during the 1980s. Code Monkeys relies on crude humor and stoner comedy to convey the numerous references to video games, past and present, but mostly games from the 8-bit era. This also extends to cameos from well known video game developers, who appear in the show pitching their ideas to GameaVision for the games that would later make them famous, usually to be rejected, insulted, and sometimes injured or killed off.
