spaceballs a "classic"??? sheeeeesh...sure, it has a few laughs in it, but it was the beginning of the end for brooks - now it's just loads of lazy jokes and obvious sight gags rather than a loving reworking of a classic genre.

after stone cold masterpieces like 'the producers,' 'young frankenstein' and 'blazing saddles,' and the more hit and miss (but still solid) 'silent movie,' of 'high anxiety' and 'history of the world, pt 1,' 'spaceballs' felt tired and uninspired. sadly, outside of his remake of 'to be or not to be,' i haven't REALLY liked a mel brooks movie since the late 70s...

I guess your getting this late in the states? The series has been on in Canada for at least a couple of months. I gave it a chance finally last week and it was pretty awful :

I was just talking about Spaceballs with someone the other day, and I had no idea a series was being made. I'll wait on my opinion until I see the first episode.

I agree with Elf 100%. But after just seeing the trailer, I am very disapointed knowing that my oldest son (13) should not be seeing an NC-17 version of the very funny and classic, Spaceballs. What a shame. This could have been such a comedy that could easily have gotten a pg-13 rating if loosely based on the original, but has to be taken lower down the ladder since most guys watching G4 live in their mother's basement playing online-games.

Uh, have you ever see Blazing Saddles? Or Dracula: Dead And Loving It? Or Robin Hood: Men In Tights?

I really hope that's not actually what the series will be like. Hopefully that's just G4's marketing department knowing who their viewers are and shaping the promo to fit. Mel isn't above a tit joke here and there, but surely he wouldn't make them the entire show.

I was disappointed with it, but will wait until I've seen the first episode

The animation looks very nice, which is a lot more than I can say about most cartoons/animee.
