What Are The Chances Of Seeing New Episodes Of “Baby Blues” & “Code Monkeys” ?
My biggest pet peeve is when TV networks produce episodes or TV shows that never air. Examples like Murder Police, Star Wars: Detours, and others have had fabled endings that typically revolve around such a case. Enter Baby Blues. The adult animated series adaptation of the comic strip of the same name has long had a second season rumored to have been completely finished and produced only for it not to see the light of day.
Well, rest easy…turns out that was all a farce. Regular Show producer Toby Jones recently went on Twitter to reveal that he recently conferred with an inside source that noted there was no second season of Baby Blues finished, at best, there was some pre-production work, but not much more. Could the series show up on HBO MAX? That remains to be seen.
Baby Blues is an American adult animated sitcom, based on the Baby Blues comic strip by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott, produced by Warner Bros.] The first eight episodes of Baby Blues originally aired in the United States on The WB between July 28 and August 24, 2000, before being cancelled. The five remaining episodes that had been unaired finally did air on Adult Swim in 2002.
Adam De La Pena is teasing some sort of revival for Code Monkeys, the legendary adult animated series that rivaled South Park in it’s lunacy that was on a G4 network that is no longer around.
The plot of Code Monkeys revolves around the fictitious video game company GameaVision (a play on companies like Activision and Intellivision) and its eccentric employees, mainly the slacker Dave and his high-strung friend Jerry. The entire series takes place in the Silicon Valley city of Sunnyvale, California during the 1980s. Code Monkeys relies on crude humor and stoner comedy to convey the numerous references to video games, past and present, but mostly games from the 8-bit era. This also extends to cameos from well known video game developers, who appear in the show pitching their ideas to GameaVision for the games that would later make them famous, usually to be rejected, insulted, and sometimes injured or killed off.
As mentioned, the series was featured on the NBC Universal-owned G4 Network which has since been shuttered, but with a new streaming service called Peacock on the way, perhaps at the very least we’ll be able to stream those seasons if not get any new seasons ordered. Sibling network Syfy could also be a possibility with it’s TZGZ lineup. Regardless, it sounds like Adam knows something we don’t, so keep it locked here as we poke around.
Do we know if Hulu will be the only entity to have the dub, or if it will be on other platforms, too? The show in general is definitely going to be on multiple platforms.
