Comedy Central announces new shows for 2007-08

oh i saw MIB's pilot taping and it looks HELLA funny. A nice mix between the colbert/tds type and chappelle show, which is all cc can ask for. hopefully he'll stay around longer than chappelle...

anyhoo--i give "doesn't understand" 6 out of 7 tvsquad ratings.
ba jingo jango!

Held Up: a series about a group of bank workers who are held hostage and slowly develop a "comedic version of The Stockholm Syndrome."

They must have greenlit that because of the overwhelming success of the Nine

Giving MIB a new show is the LEAST Comedy Central can do for canceling Stella. Bastards. I still haven't forgiven them.

Great. More Larry The Cable Guy. That tired, joke of a "comedian" was played out two years ago.

Comedy Central execs: if for some crazy reason you stumble across these comments, I'd like to pitch a show. It's clear you're taking pitch meetings with pretty much anyone who comes in off the street, so I don't think I'm out of line here.

The show is called "Michael Ian Black Stole My 15 Minutes of Fame". Each week, it's hosted by a different randomly selected person, pretty much picked from a crowd. This person is permitted to do whatever he or she pleases for 20-odd minutes on the assumption that no matter what he/she does, it'll be at least as funny and/or entertaining as Michael Ian Black has been in his prior televisual outings -- but, and this is the key bit, the random hosts' collective shtick will seem fresh by comparison.

If you'd like to discuss this idea further, simply respond to Bob Sassone's next post by saying "Bob, did you really need to write this?" followed by your telephone number. I'll get in touch within 12 hours and we can talk money.

What ever happened to Kid Notorious? That was yanked off of the air rather suddenly.

Dog Bites Man was pretty good, but I can understand it not being recieved well.

Can I just get a few reruns of the Upright Citizens Brigade, Comedy Central?

u'd think with all the great comedians out there comedy central would actually have decent original programing ... besides a handful of shows (south park daily show colbert report sarah silverman show and even halfway house was funny) the rest is garabage.

Where are the new episodes of Futurama? I thought it was coming back for a new run on Comedy Central?

Other than possibly the new Lewis Black show, and South Park, why does everything on Comedy Central seem to belong in a different universe than "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report"? The universe for people who've been hit over the head with a brick too many times, or are under 12 years old? Their other shows make Sci-Fi's lineup (outside BSG) seem highbrow.
