Mike Judge Returns to Animation with TALES FROM THE TOUR BUS

Mike Judge Returns to Animation with TALES FROM THE TOUR BUS

There is nothing quite like a Mike Judge comedy. Most of us can point to things like Office Space, Idiocracy, Beavis and Butthead and King of the Hill as things that informed our comedic sensibilities in some way over the years. We can now collectively rejoice because according to a recent post on SlashFilm, Mike Judge is returning to animation for a new show coming to Cinemax in 2017.

Although his last animated work The Goode Family didn’t do so well, we’re excited for Mike Judge Presents: Tales From the Tour Bus for a number of reasons. Firstly, we’re curious how Cinemax will handle that medium. Since animation is new to the channel, we’re hoping they allow Judge to make the show he wants alongside co-creator (and co-writer of The Last Ride) Dub Cornett. Additionally, according to Deadline, the show “chronicles the tales of some of country music’s most eccentric characters” which will undoubtedly make for some interesting comedic stories.

Not much else is known about the series at this time including which musicians will be featured on the show, but the series will premiere sometime in 2017. However the show takes shape, we’re confident that with Judge at the helm and the freedom he’ll have with a network like Cinemax that we’re in for something good. If not, we can always fall back on the things that worked:
