CNN<\/i> reports that:<\/p>\n

Mel Brooks is developing an animated TV series based on his comedy feature Spaceballs<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Like the 1987 movie<\/a>, which parodied well-known science-fiction movies, Spaceballs: The Animated Series<\/i><\/a> will spoof current blockbusters as well as every genre of entertainment from movies and reality TV to culture and politics.<\/p>\n

It is set to debut on cable network G4 in fall 2007. Production has already started on an initial batch of 13 episodes.<\/p>\n

Brooks, who will voice two characters in the show, co-wrote the pilot with longtime collaborator Thomas Meehan, who will oversee all writing for the series.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That this show might air 20 years after the movie is probably not a coincidence, but it doesn’t sound all that promising to me. I’m not even sure that it would work if John Candy<\/a> were around to star in it (again)…<\/p>\n
