First-Look: Syfy Gets Linear Rights For “Dr. Havoc’s Diary” For TZGZ Line-Up
Beginning this Saturday, April 25, the six-minute animated series DR. HAVOC’S DIARY joins SYFY’s late-night adult animation block, TZGZ. Produced by New Form (Final Space), DR. HAVOC’S DIARY follows a mid-level supervillain as he has a midlife crisis and battles secret agents, superheroes and his wife.
The series is a seriously funny show detailing the misadventures of Dr. Darren Havoc. The show focuses on Havoc’s dysfunctional relationships with his unfaithful wife Kim, spoiled daughter Alley, narcissistic arch nemesis secret agent Brock Mason, and a barrage of familiarly themed superheroes.
Airing on SYFY every Saturday at midnight-ish, TZGZ is a 90 minute block of comedic, animated, genre-based programming of varying lengths, made for adults.
Short of getting Roiland back, which I'm sure isn't going to happen, I don't even think they could get much better than the new voices from the previous season. And the ratings for season 7 weren't much lower on average than for season 6; it was pretty much just a normal season-to-season drop that most likely would have happened regardless.
I mean, look at the actual averages:
Season 1 - 1.57 million viewers Season 2 - 1.97 million viewers Season 3 - 2.33 million viewers Season 4 - 1.52 million viewers Season 5 - 0.96 million viewers Season 6 - 0.56 million viewers Season 7 - 0.42 million viewers
Ever since season 3, it had been having steep drops even with Roiland still involved; the season 6 to 7 drop is actually the smallest-percentage drop it's had since it started dropping, and if anything it's possible that changing the voice actors actually *boosted* interest a bit and prevented it from dropping even more.
