In the whirlwind of upfronts these last several days, there are some things that we’d like to mention now as we didn’t get around to them right when they were announced.

In addition to TruTV’s current solid slate full of returning series like Adam Ruins Everything and Those Who Can’t as well as the upcoming new show Bobcat Goldthwait’s Misfits & Monsters, they’ve got plenty in development to be excited about

Specifically:
-a Liza Treyger sitcom pilot
-a musically inclined sketch comedy pilot from Molly Austin and Shamikah Martinez AKA Austin Martinez (the comedy duo featured in Rachel Dratch’s Late Night Snack)
-a how to apocalypse survival guide comedy pilot End Times Girls Club from Rose Schlossberg
-presentation of a fake ad competition from The Kloons
-presentation of a game show that challenges what people studied in college in order to pay of their student debt from Michael Torpey

It’s almost like that time where TruTV almost exclusively made reality TV was long, long ago.

Many of you don’t even know the greatness that’s about to come with Guy Branum’s Talk Show the Game Show being made into a TV show, but, hopefully, you’ll know soon enough thanks to TruTV.

Today, via press release, TruTV announced its upcoming slate of programming and development that happened to have plenty of things that have us excited for the network in 2017.

With a Trump Administration looming, Adam Conover and his ‘bigly’ tendency to ruin things will be very nice to have for a sixteen episode second season of Adam Ruins Everything.

Guy Branum’s Talk Show the Game Show is a competitive talk show where guests have to compete to be the best, most interesting guest dealing with the sharp wit of host Guy Branum. It’s a gem here in LA that we’ve enjoyed for years and we can’t wait for the rest of the country to see what happens when guests can just rely on the story of their weird ride to the airport to get through a late night segment.

Sketch duo Austin Martinez got to incubate on Rachel Dratch’s Late Night Snack on TruTV and will now get upgraded to developing a series of their own. An animated family marijuana dispensary comedy from Martin Starr and Matt Bush is also in development.

In addition to that upcoming Bobcat Goldthwait anthology series, TruTV could have a pretty great 2017.
