Maybe not Adult Swim, though.

I could well see a channel like FX or Comedy Central or Spike taking another stab at taking down Adult Swim and trying to use Achewood as one of the central pieces of a counter block of programming.

Actually I am afraid he is not going to be able to sell this to commercial TV, but I am trying to have faith.

I hope he does shorts like 3-5 minutes and not a full half hour thing.

It will aspire to reach Brad Neely levels of adult swim. Let's check back when the first short is released sometime around Christmas.

I cannot wait to find out what Mr Bear sounds like, and see him move. I hope they get Garrison Keillor for his voice. Or Sean Connery. Or Sterling Holloway. Or Hugh Hefner.

It only just now occurred to me that this could also be a new golden age for TOUAMB.

Hmm, my first thought upon hearing this news was "I hope they do a better adaptation job than China, IL."  I only watched the first few episodes but felt the Adult Swim version lost a lot of the warped poignancy that made the original Baby Cakes shorts so good.

That worries me as well. In this case the original version is a static cartoon. Hard to compare the two. I really hope it's good is all.

Ugh. I had thankfully forgotten about China, Il. I miss the professor brothers, though.

Neat! The trailer looks a bit off though, it looks like 3D animations built to look like simple 2D drawings rather than just digital animated frames, if that makes any sense.

Neph, that is exactly what I was thinking. Yuck.

I think at best it will take a little while for the show I get things right, as opposed to just trying to wedge old comic strip jokes into a new format. I hope they get the chance to get into the groove.
