MTV introduces animated "Good Vibes" to line-up

MTV will add animation to its programming lineup with the premiere of the new animated series Good Vibes, set for this fall.

This half-hour coming-of-age comedy will follow transplanted Jersey boy Mondo (voiced by Josh Gad) and his best bud Woodie (voiced by Adam Brody) as they surf the biggest waves, hit the wildest parties and chase the prettiest girls in Play Del Toro -- a colorful California beach community.

The all-star ensemble cast also features voice appearances by Debi Mazar as Babs, Mondo's mom; Alan Tudyk as Lonnie, a burnt-out but wise beach bum; Danny McBride as Ms. Teets, a massively overweight and inappropriate human sexuality teacher; Olivia Thirlby as Jeena, the beautiful girl of Mondo's dreams; Jake Busey as Turk, an obnoxious local surfer and bully; and Tony Hale as Wadska, a charmingly nerdy and delusional friend.

Good Vibes is an epic beach party that captures not only the thrills and excitement of teenage life, but also the heartfelt frustrations. We follow the wild-but-relatable stories of Mondo and Woodie as they try to navigate the hormone-fueled world of high school, life-changing first experiences, and the complexities of family life.

Their challenges are universal; however, for Mondo and Woodie, it just so happens to be set against the backdrop of some of the best beaches on the West Coast. On these beaches, the vibe is eternally youthful, the girls wear string bikinis, and the summer feels endless.

The series was created by David Gordon Green (Pineapple Express, Your Highness) and is animated by Six Point Harness. Executive producers include Green, as well as Tom Brady (The Simpsons, The Critic, The Hot Chick), Tom Werner (The Cosby Show, Roseanne, That 70's Show), Mike Clements (Life and Times of Tim, Are You There Vodka, It's Me Chelsea) and Brad Ableson (The Simpsons). Clay Spencer serves as the executive in charge of production for MTV.
