POSTED: 11:47 a.m. EDT, September 21, 2006
LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- Mel Brooks is developing an animated TV series based on his comedy feature "Spaceballs."

Like the 1987 movie, which parodied well-known science-fiction movies, "Spaceballs: The Animated Series" will spoof current blockbusters as well as every genre of entertainment from movies and reality TV to culture and politics.

It is set to debut on cable network G4 in fall 2007. Production has already started on an initial batch of 13 episodes.

Brooks, who will voice two characters in the show, co-wrote the pilot with longtime collaborator Thomas Meehan, who will oversee all writing for the series.

Might be pretty good. At least Mel Brooks IS doing some voices in it.

I'm still holding out for Spaceballs - The Breakfast Cereal and Spaceballs - THE FLAME THROWER.
