Rob Lowe will be the first guest on Fox’s upcoming parody after-show “What Just Happened??! with Fred Savage,” which will reunite the stars of the previously-canceled “The Grinder.”
Framed to be a talk show to discuss the events after Fox’s made-up sci-fi drama, “The Flare,” “What Just Happened??! with Fred Savage” will invite special guests like Lowe to analyze what took place on the fictional show’s latest episode (akin to AMC’s “Talking Dead and “Talking Saul”), and will include as set visits to “The Flare,” interviews with the “cast,” and fan discussions.
Kevin Zegers (“Dirty John”), Guillermo Diaz (“Scandal”) and Shiri Appleby (“UnReal”) are among those tapped to play the “cast” of “The Flare.”

Fox has greenlit an after-show spoof from Fred Savage that is set to air this summer.
The broadcaster has given the series, titled “What Just Happened??!,” a nine-episode order. The half-hour series will debut on Fox Sunday, June 30 at 9:30 p.m. Et.
The series will explore the fictional fandom surrounding a fictional sci-fi series called “The Flare,” based on the fictional book “The Moon Is the Sun at Night” by fictional author Tj Whitford.
The “book” revolves around a solar event and its effects on Earth – specifically, the small, blue-collar town of Milford, Il – and slowly unfolds into a post-apocalyptic battle for human survival.
The after-show — in the vein of shows like “Talking Dead” on AMC — will feature multiple segments, including celebrity interviews, set visits, as well as interviews with “The Flare’s” “cast,” as well as discussions with fans and more.

Far be it from me to harp on an animated series to want a second wind via direct-to-dvd movies. With the success stories of how Family Guy and Futurama got renewed after their DVD movies, you just know Drawn Together is hoping for a similar result. To be perfectly honest: it doesn’t deserve it, and for many reasons, only a few of them having anything to do with the movie itself. For starters, Family Guy and Futurama ended prematurely. The former got yanked because Fox’s execs didn’t quite understand its appeal and the latter got kicked around from one timeslot to the next, its ratings plummeted accordingly. Drawn Together? It started brilliantly and lambasted a ripe part of popular culture. It just couldn’t keep up the laughs. Quickly it devolved into a cheap string of dick and fart jokes and lost all of what made it great to start.

Drawn Together represents a microcosm of Family Guy’s career from start to its current agonizing continuation. Family Guy started out with smart, fresh and unexpectedly sharp commentary that rocked people expecting just another weekly animated comedy like The Simpsons; Drawn Together’s first season sparked interest in much the same way and seemed to be the continuation of the Family Guy legacy which had come to an unexpected and unfortunate end in 2003. Thus, the 2004 debut of a crudely hilarious show like Drawn Together, which takes pop-culture icons of the last 80 years and forces them to interact in ridiculous 22-minute-long episodes, seemed like the next logical step of animated television.
And it was. The characters worked in a dual-commentary fashion. Not only did they lampoon the original characters which inspired them but they also took on personalities unique to the show’s story and made new comedy from that. Drawn Together...

Following in the footsteps of other animated comedies like Family Guy and Futurama, Comedy Central has announced it is developing a movie version of its cult show Drawn Together. The Drawn Together Movie: The Movie! will arrive on DVD in 2010. The network said that the straight-to-dvd release currently in production will be "the first animated film based on the 'Drawn Together' series." It will be released by Comedy Central Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Entertainment in March. A parody of reality shows with spoofs of several famous types of animated characters, Drawn Together premiered on Comedy Central in Oct. 2004 and aired for three seasons and 36 episodes. It was created by Matt Silverstein and Dave Jeser. In the film, mystery-solving musician Foxxy notices she and her fellow housemates can suddenly curse without being bleeped, they realize that their show has been cancelled and start fighting to get it back on the air.
