From The Wonderful Network That Brings You ‘South Park,’ a New Cartoon Series About…Jesus Christ

May 7, 2010  •  Post A Comment

Heresy or hilarious? You be the judge.

Comedy Central is developing a cartoon series about Jesus Christ.

According to James Hibberd’s Live Feed blog, the half-hour animated show, "JC," will  be "about Christ wanting to escape the shadow of his "powerful but apathetic father" and live a regular life in New York City.  In the show, God is preoccupied with playing video games while Christ, ‘the ultimate fish out of water,’ tries to adjust to life in the big city."

The article says that "JC" is produced "by Reveille (‘The Office’), Henrik Basin, Brian Boyle (‘American Dad’), Jonathan Sjoberg and Andreas Ohman."

Other reports emphasized that "JC" is only in development and Comedy Central has not committed to airing the show.

  1. It’s surprising how many accomplished writers still think that “outrageous” and “wacky” still automatically means “funny”. It doesn’t. And all the free press from the inevitable controversy will not change that. Five words: “Bob, the Devil, and God”.

  2. I was searching for articles about this on Google and came upon your post. I found it to be very interesting. Thanks

  3. I love the way you write and also the theme on your blog. Did you code this yourself or was it done by a professional? I’m very very impressed.
