Before I begin, if you already know who Brendon Small is, then I applaud you and invite you into my secret cabal. If not, Brendon Small is the creator of Home Movies. The show was cancelled after its fourth season on Adult Swim, which ended in April 2004. It was utterly and completely brilliant. The first season is already on DVD and the second season will available May 31st.
A year later, Brendon Small has started some new projects. First, is a new series on Comedy Central called Deathclock, which is about a death metal band. According to Brendon's site, the show will "include much shredding and murder." He also posted the theme song to the new show, which can be found on his media page (direct link to mp3). "Expect fast guitar and cookie monster vocals."
His other new project, which may or may not be green-lighted, is called Barbarian Chronicles and will hopefully appear on the Sci-Fi channel. Briefly, it is a show about Middle Earth metrosexuals. Here is a full preview from an NBC press release:
What if 'Lord of the Rings' met 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' The answer: 'Barbarian Chronicles.' This 1/2-hour animated series from Brendon Small, creator of the offbeat series strip 'Home Movies,' is a fresh ensemble comedy set in a magical realm of swords, sorcery and - you heard it here first -- Middle-earth metrosexuals. Executive produced by Small and David Letterman's Worldwide Pants, this series pulls back the curtain on a hilarious and heretofore unknown age of comedy.
In smaller news, Small is apparently working on a super-secret live-action project for Fox. That's all the info he'd give up. If you live in LA and you want to see Brendon do "a bunch of odd characters/videos" for free, head to the Comedy Central Stage at 8pm this Wednesday, the 27th.
