Comedy Central announced they’ve just greenlit Brickleberry, an animated series about dysfunctional forest rangers at a national park. Daniel Tosh executive produces and Waco O’Guin and Roger Black wrote and created the animated series, which will premiere in early 2012.
Comedy Central has ordered 10 episodes of the animated series. “Daniel Tosh pointed a gun at our heads and asked if we would put this series on the air, and we agreed that would be a good idea,” said Kent Alterman, the network’s head of original programming and production. “It’s a bonus that it’s so funny.”
“This is going to be on TV?” asked Tosh. “I thought this was a comic strip?”
“This is a dream come true for us,” said O’Guin on meeting Tosh. “He’s gorgeous.”
“Getting a show on COMEDY CENTRAL is cool too,” added Black.
According to the official press release announcing the series, the “inspiration for Brickleberry was O’Guin’s father-in-law who is a former park ranger. Black attempted to poke fun at him at O’Guin’s wedding and he dislocated two of his fingers.”
