We read on Broadcasting and Cable’s website this morning that Mel Brooks is working on turning Spaceballs into a television show. And get this -- it’s going to be a cartoon.
This is something we can all get behind, support, maybe write a little story about (like this!). It was our favorite movie when we were 11, and the only thing besides Ghostbusters that gave us reason to appreciate Rick Moranis.
Brooks himself will be voicing some of the characters as well as co-writing the pilot with musical movie genius Thomas Meehan, who has worked on a ton of stuff with Brooks, including The Producers.
It’s not due until the summer of 2007, but if we could set our TiVo now, we would be right there.

Ha. Kind of off topic, but does anyone know where I can get the Animaniacs DVD collection? I can see that the regular retail stores like Target and Circuit City don't have it...
