Adult Swim and TruTV Renew Their Freshman Series

New comedy series Friends of the People, Black Jesus, Mike Tyson Mysteries, and Mr. Pickles were all just renewed for a second season by their respective networks, TruTV and Adult Swim.

The sketch show on the rebranded TruTV, a show about the return of Jesus as a black man, a Scooby Doo style animated cartoon with Mike Tyson as the lead, and the adventures of a satanic dog have have all made it to a second round.

We’re pretty sure none of these shows would get picked up at one of the big broadcast networks, but unlike most of network sitcoms, these shows have, at the very least, either their bosses behind them or have done well enough to get another episode order.

In any case, televised comedy continues to thrive on cable.

Well, the wonderfully dark and absurd minds of Murderfist are going to be on TV tonight as they’re being featured on truTV’s Friends of the People. 

Tune in 10PM to truTV to see the folks that made this unforgettable rehearsal dinner sketch who will hopefully bring their brand of comedy, that we previously thought was just going to reside on the Internet, to TVs across America.

truTV’s Comedy Rebranding Is Under Way as “Friends of The People” Premieres Tonight

truTV’s big shift from reality and court TV to comedy, specifically with the branding “WAY. MORE. FUN.” has begun and it’s kicking off one of its more highly anticipated shows tonight, “Friends of the People”.

With a cast boasting The Lucas Brothers, Kevin Barnett, Josh Rabinowitz, Lil’ Rel, Jermaine Fowler, and Jennifer Bartels, we think it definitely will be worth checking out the series premiere tonight at 10:30PM on truTV.

We can see this is probably going to be way more fun already.
