Coming soon to a Cartoon Network near you
Adult Swim today announced three new shows to be added to its late-night animated programming bloc:
“Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil:” Lucy is really Satan’s progeny, and she’s “dating a great new guy, who might just be the Second Coming.” Wouldn’t the “Second Coming,” being all-knowing and all, know who he’s dating? Anyway, Satan uses the relationship to hasten the apocalypse. Basically, “‘Left Behind’ for the Dysfunctional Teen Soul.” Or, "Chicken Soup for the Damned."
“Fat Guy Stuck In Internet:” Based on a cult online show: A computer programmer who gets absorbed into the Internets; weird stuff ensues. Basically, “‘Tron’ for Those Too Young to Know what ‘Tron’ Was.”
“Superjail:” Basically, "HBO’s 'Oz,' Only for Kids Who Already Know They’ll Require Years of Therapy in Their Adulthood."
Also: George Lucas participates in a special “Robot Chicken” episode dedicated to “Star Wars” parodies on June 17. Well, Lucas also participated in “The Star Wars Holiday Special” and made those three prequels, so he has nowhere to go but up.
Note: This information was embargoed until 3 p.m. PST, but I leaked it a full minute early, scooping the competition! What competition, you ask? Hmmm… good question…
