06 Apr 2012 Dinosaurs at the office

I think that Dinosaurs at the Office from Seabeast Puppetry has a lot of potential. If it's done right, a mundane series staring a couple of those toy Dinosaur "Chompers" rod puppets might just be a comedy gold...

22 Mar 2012 Bigfoot and Gray on the Run

This is a short pitch reel for a proposed series called Bigfoot and Gray on the Run. Developed by animator Chris Savino, the show is built around a (partially shaved) Bigfoot and an alien who try to blend in with human society while on the run from a secret government...

01 Feb 2012 Time Machine Guitar

Time Machine Guitar is a new aspiring TV series that describes itself as "like Mr. Rogers with a Stratocaster".

The Fuzz is a new pilot commissioned by Comedy Central in the U.S. and produced by Waverly Films. Aimed at adult audiences, it's a send-up of cop shows. It was inspired by Puppet Rapist, a similar project that Waverly produced about five years...

Well, after a few false starts, I’m happy to finally say that the answer is “hopefully”. I...
