The comedy show Caesar and Chuy, the second animated series in LATV's original programming block, will premiere at 9:30 p.m. PT on Thursday, November 8.
LATV Networks, the United States' first bilingual music/entertainment network distributed via digital multicast, announced Wednesday that it had signed an agreement with Over-Man Productions for the animated series.
"Our viewers look to us for edgy and fun programming, reflecting the bicultural and bilingual experience in America. Caesar and Chuy provides exactly that -- an irreverent slice-of-life commentary that is classic LATV," said Rick Najera, LATV's vice-president for programming development. "This series is funny, top-notch and very on-the-mark. We certainly think it will connect with our audience nationwide."
Caesar and Chuy are animated rockers and music video critics who comment on people and music from their very cheeky point of view. Artistic Warfare and Alfonso Arney Designs have teamed up as Over-Man Productions to produce the new animated series. The executive producers are Keu Reyes and Alfonso Arney.
The voice of Caesar will be played by Nut'n Nice creator/writer Reyes, and the voice of Chuy will be played by Najera.
LATV's first foray into animation was The Homies Hip-Hop Show, based on the worldwide figurine phenomenon created by Dave Gonzales. The stop-motion, one-hour program is animated by Nicholas Romero. The series is written by Renee Sandoval, Oskar Toruno and Najera, who also wrote for MAD TV and In Living Color, as well as creating Latinologues.
Airing at 9 p.m. PT on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Caesar and Chuy consists of eight to 10 sketches with interlaced music videos. Skits on the show parody popular culture as well as skewer life in general.
Headquartered in Los Angeles, LATV is a pioneer in bicultural youth broadcasting. It has been on the air in the Los Angeles market since 2001 and was launched nationally on April 23 this year.
