Two very unique comedies will get a time slot on an equally unique cable network.

Conan O'Brien's "Conaco" production company and actor Rob Corrdry both scored spots on Adult Swim for two new live-action sitcoms.

O'Brien's company won a spot for Eagleheart, a show about a fading TV star who wins a chance for glory once more on a production in Texas, but constantly clashes with the low-level TV exec in charge of the show.

Corrdry's medical drama spoof web series Childrens' Hospital will also go to Adult Swim. The channel will show re-edited versions of the episodes that aired on TheWB.com as well as produce new ones. Corrdry originally pitched the show to Comedy Central, but negotiations broke down with the network, probably because the show didn't have enough bimbo strippers and shirtless fat guys to fill their quota (cough, Secret Girlfriend, cough).

Our weekly roundup of what's going on at our sister blog (we cover the small screen, they cover the bigger one), Cinematical.

• Erik has news about a possible Mr. Show movie.
• Every Monday, Cinematical has a movie poll. This week: what classic movie character would you like to see return in a movie?
• Rob Corrdry is...The Donor!
• So who the hell is going to play the villain in the next Batman flick? Ryan Phillippe as Two-Face? Heath Ledger as The Joker? Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin?
• Martha doesn't like Justin Long, the guy from Ed who currently stars in those Apple commercials. He might play Bruce Willis' computer hacker son in Die Hard 4.
• And here's news about that fire that occurred on the Pinewood Studios set of Casino Royale.

After making a brief joke about how he almost fell down during the pre-show warm-up, Jon Stewart touched on a recent buzz story. He said that he was startled when he saw something strange on Scarborough Country... There was some dude with a crazy-looking head. It looked like it was made out of wax! Oh, and the topic of discussion was something like "Is Jon stewart a Danger?". But, seriously, that guy's head was craaaazy!
