What's up with Stroker and Hoop?

stroker and hoopOkay, I can't be the only one out there wondering what the heck is up with Stroker and Hoop, one of my favorite shows on Adult Swim. There haven't been any reruns on lately that I know of, and I've heard nothing about a new season. However, Adult Swim still has it listed on its list of shows, and the page for the series still exists, too. If you check out TV.com, they have it listed as a "returning series" which is a good sign, I guess. Still, I wish someone who's in the know would let us Stroker and Hoop fans know that the heck is going on. It's sometimes difficult for shows on Adult Swim to stand out, I think, but this one did with its cool 1970s look and hilarious cartoon violence.

UPDATE: The show isn't coming back. Special thanks to Dino Stamatopoulos for the info.

Hey, 12 oz. Mouse has this neat surreal kick going for it.

Stroker and Hoop just had this... ugly, 'made for late-90s MTV for use directly after episodes of Celebrity Deathmatch' aesthetic.

No more Stroker and Hoop but we get another season of 12oz Mouse. Are you kidding me? Adult Swim slowly seems to be falling apart. They need to get it together.

If you're interested in what might have been, the show's creators posted their plans for the second season to the Williams Street blog back in February:

Stroker and Hoop?? Wasn't that the Starsky +Hutch ripoff??

Adult Swim has had a hard time trying to find a new Aqua Teen.

Minoriteam is just downright awful and leaves the viewer with an awful migrane.

12 oz Mouse.. What the hell is this anyway??

Moral Orel is just plain irritating as the religion premise is staid..


Can you say "Da Vinci Code"?

That's unfortunate. Stroker and Hoop was one of my favorites. All good things and whatnot I suppose.

Here's a message from Les Harper (I think he's an animator on the show) from this thread
http://boards.adultswim.com/adultswim/board/message?board.id=5&message.id=815699&view=by_date_ascending&page=1
on the [as] message boards:

"Hi gang, yer friendly neighborhood animator here and it saddens me to say that officially there will be no 2nd season for SnH.

Thats right, I repeat, NO 2nd season.

I wanted to post it here since I doubt there will be any official release regarding this.

It was a great show, and we had a great time working on it. Jeff and Chris were kind enough to deliver us the news in person today. My hat is definitely off to them for that.

Needless to say, we're all a lil bummed.

But fear not!! Jeff and Chris aren't going anywhere, they're still writing at WS and hopefully something even more amazing will be coming forth from their pens in the future.

It wasn't a case of the show not being funny or good enough, it was a financial decision... and a hard one to make at that. I don't think anyone at WS liked not picking it up for a 2nd season.

So to sum up, a big thanks to Jeff and Chris for an experience I'll never forget (nor will my crew) and best of luck to them with everything in the future. Its not an end, just a new beginning

Thats about it... over n out!

~Les"

p.s. Thanks for all the great thing you wrote about Moral Orel.
