    It's coming to G4 next year.

    Brooks dusts off "Spaceballs" for TV cartoon

    By Kimberly Nordyke

    LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Mel Brooks is developing an animated TV series based on his comedy feature "Spaceballs."

    Like the 1987 movie, which parodied well-known science-fiction movies, "Spaceballs: The Animated Series" will spoof current blockbusters as well as every genre of entertainment from movies and reality TV to culture and politics.

    It is set to debut on cable network G4 in fall 2007. Production has already started on an initial batch of 13 episodes.



    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.

    I'm sorry, but Spaceballs is one of the most overrated comedies in movie history. I might have chuckled once.

    I'll give this a look, though...

    Agreed. But you cannot deny the power of its many one liners that hold strong today.
