'Code Monkeys' Coming To G4

Posted by Stephen Johnson - Thursday, January 11, 2007 2:42 PM

Early '80s videogames are schweeeeet. That's why G4 is making a show about them.

Code Monkeys is an innovative animated comedy from Adam de la Pena, the creator of Minoriteam and a writer on The Man Show and The Jimmy Kimmel Show, that tells the stories of old-school game coders Dave and Jerry, whose wacky, surreal adventures are told through Super Nintendo style videogame art.

"They live in a world where anything can happen," de la Pena said, adding that there will be visual allusions to a host of '80s videogames. That means lots of extra laughs for those who are down with gaming.

De la Pena will be writing and directing each episode, as well as providing the voice for one of the main characters.

Look for 14 episodes of Code Monkeys this Spring, and check back here for all the details and an inside look at the program.

WAIT A SECOND!!!! Are you saying that there's going to be new G4 programming that is actually VIDEO GAME RELATED?!?!?!? Just when I was starting to lose faith in the new formatting of the network (read: The Block), G4 does something like this and totally redeems itself! (yes, the Dumb & Dumber reference was intentional). I'm looking forward to this show...it sounds like a lot of fun!

I am excted about this but dont forget about Training Day. The idea was great on paper but they spend more time on the cort instead on the video game. I hope that the seccess of this show and the contnue seccess of Xplay will prove to the big guys up there will finaly wake up from a coma and goes back to what made G4 great in the first freaking place. VIDEO GAMES.
