Comedy Central has announced a list of new shows set to debut in 2008/2009. Here are the highlights:
Untitled Andy Richter Sketch Show A sketch show starring Andy Richter executive produced by Kent Alterman ("Semi-Pro," "Elf") and Tim Sarkes.
"Speed Freaks"
A scripted show starring Zach Galifianakis and A.D. Miles about two small town losers who are on the run from a redneck mafia hit-man after blowing up a local meth lab. As they fumble around the south trying to find odd jobs and shelter, the faceless hit-man is always hot on their trail.
"Michael and Michael Have Issues"
A sketch comedy from comedians Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter ("The State," "Stella"), this show features segments addressing issues each of the stars has with themselves, each other and the world at large.
"David Alan Grier's Chocolate News"
A fake magazine show hosted by "In Living Color" alum and Tony® Award-nominee David Alan Grier that covers inherently urban pop culture topics. The pilot is executive produced by Grier ("Little Man"), Robert Morton ("Mind of Mencia"), Fax Bahr and Adam Small, and Generate's Peter Aronson and Jordon Levin. (previously listed in COMEDY CENTRAL's 2007-2008 development slate announcement as a presentation deal)
"Search and Destroy"
Executive producer Troy Miller ("Viva La Bam," "Flight of Conchords") brings viewers along on a scavenger hunt where nothing is off limits. Hosted by radio personalities Opie & Anthony, two teams of comedians run amok in New York City with a list of assignments and head-to-head competitions.
"Gay Robot"
An animated, scripted series composed of two eleven-minute stories per episode about a gay robot, voiced by Nick Swardson ("RENO 911!," "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry"), and his friends Nick, Pat and Matt living together after college. The show follows the day-in-the-life adventures of Gay Robot and the guys partying their way through life while trying to find their way in the world. Produced by Happy Madison and Sony TV and co-written by Nick Swardson and Aaron Lee.

These three sound good. The others, not so much.

I don't think those three sound good on paper but I'll watch them because the people involved have proven themselves worthy of at least that.

Gay Robot sounds like a rip-off of my idea, Faggot Droid.

Opie and Anthony are alright but even I think thats a bad premise.
