Puppet cops, 80's hair bands, Jesus Christ, a modern day take on "The Odd Couple," race relations, office politics in Deep Space and a live sex show. These ideas and many, many more make up COMEDY CENTRAL's 2010-2011 development slate announced by Kent Alterman, head of original programming and production, COMEDY CENTRAL.
The network has also set summer and fall premiere dates for previously announced new series including "Futurama," "Big Lake," "Nick Swardson's Pretend Time," "The Onion Sports Network" (working title), "Workaholics" and "Russell Simmons Presents: Stand-Up at the El Rey." COMEDY CENTRAL recently announced the pick-up of additional episodes of its hit series, "Ugly Americans," which will air in October, as well as a third season renewal for sophomore sensation, "Tosh.0," which returns for the second half of its second season on June 2.

"The focus throughout our development process is to find performers, writers, directors and producers that project a strong, unique comedic voice, and then help them actualize their vision in the most unfiltered manner possible," said Alterman. "With the current development slate, I think it's safe to say we're doing our part to end global hunger and foster world peace."
