Comedy Central’s Motherload broadband channel has expanded with the addition of a new animated series about two testicles. From The King of Queens co-creator Michael J. Weithorn comes Baxter & McGuire, which debuts on Nov. 6 and will run over eight weeks. Also joining the comedycentral.com lineup is a live-action series titled Good God, which takes viewers inside God’s workplace starting Oct. 26.
Written and created by Weithorn and writer/actor/dancer Nick Bakay, Baxter & McGuire is a buddy comedy that chronicles the adventures of the closest of pals who never leave each other’s side. The series is directed by Mike Blum, who created the CG-animated short films The Zit and Oil & Vinegar. Each week, comedycentral.com viewers will follow Baxter and McGuire as they grapple with the various issues those of their ilk must face, such as creeping out of their owner’s shorts during an outing at Shea Stadium and being tossed about wildly during a baseball game.
‘With the launch of Baxter & McGuire and Good God, Comedy Central is solidifying its place as the premiere destination for original broadband comedy programming,” says Lou Wallach, senior VP of original programming and development for Comedy Central. “These two new series are examples of the talent community reaching out to us to create innovative, irreverent short- form programming for the digital consumer. It is truly a compliment to the strength of the Comedy Central brand on all platforms.”
