Adult Swim has been on an absolute tangent with their slew of live-action parody series. It all started with Rob Corddry’s webseries Childrens Hospital which is now going into its fourth season on the network, then Chris Elliot took off in a Walker, Texas Ranger spoof titled Eagleheart. Their latest venture into the third dimension of funny has been in Paul Scheer’s NTSF:SD:SUV::, which just got picked up for a second season.
Now, the network is hoping to capitalize on the growing popularity of the creepy horror shows that are shrouded in mystery but as original as bad soap operas. That’s where The Heart, She Holler comes in. Here’s the rundown.
The Heart, She Holler is a new live-action series starring Patton Oswalt, Kristen Schaal and Heather Lawless. Boss Hoss Heartshe owns 98.5% of Heartshe Holler and keeps the other 1.5% in a hidey hole. Upon his death, the hole is opened to reveal a secret son, Hurlan. Watch as his blood grubbing heirs Hurshe, the coquettish daughter closest to Hoss’ heart and nether regions and Hambrosia, Hoss’ other only child with a fearsome ability to scorch eyeballs with her mental powers, wrestle for every sort of supremacy that power provides. Their miseries and mysteries collide in this first-ever Adult Swim six night miniseries event.
While Adult Swim may not be completely backing the idea with a full episode order, they are giving it a 6 episode miniseries run that will air every night starting on Sunday, November 6th at 12:30am and go through Friday, November 11th. Check out a preview of the series after the jump to see what awesomely random and horrifying stuff you’re in store for.

A few days ago, we brought you the final trailer for Adult Swim’s newest show, NTSF:SD:SUV::, one that we’re pretty excited about. The premise is that this show is to CSI, NCIS, and 24 like how Childrens Hospital is to Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice, and House.
With a pretty amazing cast including Kate Mulgrew (Star Trek Voyager), Rebecca Romijn, Rob Riggle, and Martin Starr, the show was a pretty big success here at Comic-Con, as it debuted to a full audience on Thursday during its first panel.
We got the chance to speak with the man who came up with the idea as crazy as this: Paul Scheer. Some may know him from VH1’s I Love series, and some may know him from FX’s The League, but everyone will soon know him as the lovechild of Jack Bauer and Horatio Caine, Trent Hauser.
Paul talks about his inspiration of the show (a pretty tough question), some of the great guest stars he’s got lined up for this season, and thoughts on a possible crossover with the sister show Childrens Hospital.
Take a look at our interview after the jump, and be sure to catch NTSF:SD:SUV:: every Thursday night on Adult Swim.

In proving that they are truly a separate entity than Cartoon Network, Adult Swim has been creating more and more non-animated content such as Robot Chicken, Children’s Hopsital and Eagleheart. Now they’ve got another, new show which spoofs procedural action/dramas called NTSF:SD:SUV
Also known as the National Terrorism Strike Force: San Diego: Sport Utility Vehicle, the team is made up of some of the funniest people working today, such as Paul Scheer, Rob Riggle, and more. Here’s the full breakdown of the show.
In the same vein as Childrens Hospital spoofing medical dramas, NTSF:SD:SUV’s season of 15-minute episodes is ripped from the headlines and full of suspense, action, drama, cliffhangers, yelling, passionate love-making, more yelling, death and plenty of pregnant pauses. NTSF:SD:SUV:: is created by Paul Scheer and stars Scheer, Rebecca Romjin, Rob Riggle, Kate Mulgrew, Brandon Johnson, June Diane Raphael, Martin Starr and S.A.M., the first sentient robot on television.
The first episode is set to debut this Thursday at 12:15 ET/PT on Adult Swim, but we’ve got just enough to get you ready with a brand new extended trailer. Check it out after the jump and keep it here for more coverage of what is sure to be a hilarious new series!
