New Andy Richter, Snoop Dogg shows in development at Comedy Central

For all you Andy Richter fans who are still waiting for that one show that will actually last a while on the schedule, this might be good news: the former Conan O'Brien sidekick has a new show in development at Comedy Central, for the 2008-09 season. The show is still untitled, but it is described as a comedy/sketch show.

That's just one of many shows in development at Comedy Central.

Other shows include Gay Robot, an animated show about a gay college grad and his friends, from Adam Sandler; an animated show that revolves around the life of Snoop Dogg when he was a teen; America's Biggest Idiot, which sounds like American Idol, only for stupid people; Gypsy Cab, another animated show, this one about a cab driver; Search and Destroy, a scavenger hunt game show hosted by Opie & Anthony; a show from Mad TV's Bobby Lee; Reality Bites, a spoof of reality shows; Michael and Michael Have Issues, which has Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter arguing with each other; Chocolate News, a news/pop culture show starring David Allen Grier; and Speed Freaks, about two guys who blow up a meth lab and have to go on the run.

One other new show seems quite bizarre: The Scariest Show on Television, which is about comedy writers who write for Alfred Hitchcock Presents. I really want to hear more about this one.

Only one show has been picked up for the season officially: the medieval comedy show Krod Mandoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire, will debut in early 2009.
