It Looks Like Mitch Hurwitz’s Fox Cartoon Is Going To Series!!
I am – Hercules!!
“Simpsons” writer-producers Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein have joined the staff of Mitch Hurwitz’ animated “Sit Down, Shut Up.” Because "Arrested Development" mastermind Hurwitz wrote the pilot, the move suggests the project will be announced as a series at Fox’s “upfront” in a little more than two weeks.
Variety’s story on the matter indicates that Oakley and Weinstein will serve as the series’ showrunners. Their other credits include “Mission Hill” and “The Mullets.”
For those unaware, Variety describes the plot:
"Sit Down, Shut Up" is based on a live-action sitcom from Australia. The animated U.S. version revolves around the lives of seven staff members at a dysfunctional high school in a small northeastern fishing town. Action centers on faculty members, as their egos and personal agendas trump the students' needs.

It Looks Like Mitch Hurwitz's Fox Cartoon Is Going To Get Cancel

I want to get excited about this, but it's just too dangerous.
-
That's how the joke would have ended, before the Talkback subject line cut-off killed it.
-
I have high hopes because hurwitz shitted out the best sitcom ever created.
-
Cause it's not about a wacky family and their zany neighbors.

I live in australia and I have been trying to work out which show the series will based on..the only one I can think of that fits the desciption is Summer Heights High...Does any one know if this is correct?
-
It aired around 2001 on Ten and starred Stephen Curry. It was godawful (like 99.9% of Australian sitcoms) and was cancelled after 9 of 13 eps had aired.
This animated version HAS to be better. -
Did you even read the rest of the description? For fuck's sake...Anyway, I'll check it out if it's from the 'Mission Hill' guys. That show fuckin' ruled.
-
Mr. Novak much? Saved by the Bell much? Boston Public much? Joan of Arcadia much? Miss Guided much? been there done that much?
-
Wasn't about high school. It was about Education Policy.
-
of the world having to deal with yet another Screach and his poo issues.
-
more intelligent than you.
-
If it's animated it WILL have a chance. People are getting tired of FOX's stale animated lineup. Something new will do well.
-
Fail as a sitcom a couple times know. In Teachers/Miss Guided that failed? I guess putting it in cartoon will work? Also Australlian shows are usually not that great. I guess we've gotten bored of re-doing British shows, with the failure of the IT Crowd to get picked up. I wonder when HBO is going to get Little Britain on the air? I love that show.
-
I hope this is good, but it is on FOX which I haven't really watched since AD died. I also just don't get excited by cartoon sit-coms anymore. Just way too many of them.
-
I was holding out for a Mr. Bananagrabber spin-off.
-
They should remake it now!
