Mel Brooks talks to Maxim Magazine, reports Contact Music, about Spaceballs’ voyage to television as a new animated series. An hour-long pilot and 13 half hour episodes for the series are currently being produced by BFC Berliner Film Company, Brooksfilms, and MGM Domestic Television Distributionan. “There’s an animated Spaceballs TV concept in the works. I told them I’ll be happy to look over the scripts and do some voices. I’d love to play President Skroob – he’s the perfect president – or Yogurt, the sweet little spiritual, magical man”, states Brooks. “I’m crazy. I’m liable to get into that make-up again when I record the voice – just to get back into the character. Okay, now that would be stupid.”
