G4 To Air Spaceballs Series

MGM TV has commissioned an animated series based on Mel Brooks' 1987 Spaceballs movie and sold exclusive rights in the U.S. to Comcast's G4 cable network, Variety reported.

Encompassing a one-hour pilot and 13 half-hour episodes, the project represents the first scripted series green-lighted by the new TV division at MGM, led by Jim Packer, president of the worldwide TV distribution group. The series kicks off on G4 in fall 2007, the trade paper reported.

Although the movie grossed only $38.1 million in the United States, the Star Wars satire has become a successful franchise on DVD and in cable and pay TV reruns.

Brooks and Thomas Meehan, who co-wrote the movie with Ronnie Graham, have written the one-hour pilot, and Meehan will supervise the writing of the 13 half-hours. Brooks will do two of the voices, President Skroob and Yogurt. Germany's Berliner Film Companie will provide the animation.
