I sat in the premiere screening of the Good Vibes pilot at Comic-con earlier this month, and the buzz I’d heard on the show was confirmed. The writing is solid, and while the series relies a bit too much on pop culture gags (Paris Hilton and Kardashian jokes), I’m going to predict this one goes for multiple seasons. That said, Adam Brody, Seth on The O.C., is way out of his depth in the role of Woodie, and his work on the show could single-handedly pull this series down, but Danny McBride is also in the cast so it sorta balances out. Six Point Harness very capably handles the animation and the series premieres on MTV Thursday, October 27 at 10:30/9:30c.

Corey McDaniel, one half of the Gundarr team, has revealed the first animated scene from his series concept Chicken-head Joe. It’s a concept he’s had rolling around for a few years now. In 2009, the series was intended to take place on a college campus, where “all the guys are ugly animals and all the women are hot chicks.”

The Brother McLeod were recently hired by BBC Learning to produce a series of 22 shorts that help youngsters sort out their math skills. The 2-minute, Flash-animated shorts utilize the McLeod’s signature design style, plus the twosome wrote and produced the series, titled Quiff and Boot. Here’s one titled Calculators.
