Spaceballs: The Animated Series, also known as Spaceballs: The TV Series, is an in-production animated television series to be aired exclusively on G4 TV and based on the parody sci-fi film Spaceballs.
Production began in early 2005 under the supervision of Brooksfilms Limited, MGM and Berliner Film Company GmbH. A total of 13 episodes were planned to be aired on G4 starting June 1st, 2008[1], but as of June 1st, 2008, online TV listings make no mention of the show's airing. The G4 TV network webpage has also yet to divulge any possible news or dates for a premiere. Mel Brooks will not only direct the writing, but will also voice two characters, President Skroob and Yogurt, who were both played by Brooks in the original 1987 film. [2] Daphne Zuniga and Joan Rivers will also reprise their roles from the film, although Bill Pullman and Rick Moranis will not. Tino Insana will replace the late John Candy as "Barf."
It is currently unknown if the series will air because of Mel Brooks closing down Brooksfilms Limited to focus on Broadway shows. According to a more recent article the closing down of Brooksfilms is false. [3]
