Adam Sandler Animates His Gay Robot
One of the
funniest TV pilots that never actually made it to TV is Gay Robot,
a sitcom about straight fraternity brothers and their friend, a
rainbow-flag waving, guy-chasing robot. (His inventor accidentally
spilled a wine cooler on his circuit board - you know how these things
happen.)
Even
with the clout of Adam Sandler behind it - "Gay Robot" was a
song on one of his comedy CDs - the pilot didn't get picked up, although
it has amassed a fervent following on MySpace and other websites.
But all is not lost - Sandler's production company has gone back to the
drawing board and is developing Gay Robot as an animated series
for Comedy Central.
No word yet as to when the new cartoon version might premiere on the
network, but expect lots of sarcastic android bleeps when it finally
happens.
