GOOD, CLEAN FUN WITH CARTOONS
NEXT fall, even ‘toons will have their own, er, reality show.
Comedy Central’s “Drawn Together,” a racy, animated parody of reality shows, will lock eight characters in a house and force them to live together a la “The Real World.”
“It’s a little naughty,” purrs Lauren Corrao, Comedy Central’s original programming chief and head of development. “But it’s a really fun way to look at both the world of reality television and the world of animation and poke fun at both.”
“Drawn” will include all the staples of a reality TV show: explosive personalities, steamy romance, in-fighting and token characters.
Among the house’s familiar-looking denizens:
* Princess Clara – The naive, virginal fairy princess.
* Foxxy Love – The mystery-solving musician. Clashes and then makes up with Clara.
* Captain Hero – Spandex wearing super-hero.
* Xandir – The out-of-the-closet video game character.
* Spanky Ham – The crass Internet ‘toon.
* Toot – Curvy 1920’s pin-up girl who’s angry that she’s no longer considered a sex symbol.
* Ling-Ling – The Japanese anime who housemates think is a just a pet but really wants to kill everyone.
* Wooldoor Sockbat – An annoying, wacky wachamacallit. (Spongebob Squarepants?)
It debuts Wednesdays in October after “South Park.”
