Neighbors from Hell premieres on your home screen in slightly less than a week.
... "Seem normal, fit in." This is the mantra that the demon family in TBS's new animated comedy "Neighbors From Hell" (premieres 10 p.m. Monday, June 7) keeps repeating, but it could just as well be the goal of any eccentric family uncomfortably ensconced in the suburbs. Shocked and disturbed by what they find in their new home "topside" (as Satan calls Earth), Balthazor Hellman (Will Sasso) and his family can't go home to hell until Balthazor infiltrates a company called Petromundo ...
I mention the fact here not because it's receiving favorable notices or because its pre-production work is being done here in L.A., but for other reasons ...
It's the first show from new production house Bento Box; it's being produced by DreamWorks Animation (with several DWA staffers working on it) and Fox. And the Animation Guild recently signed a contract to cover its second season.
(There's always the question of whether any new television show will receive a second season, but it appears as though this one might. Which would be good for the artists working on it, and good for TAG.)

Why? Because they went union? Where else would they take it? Wildbrain? I know Rough Draft is in the process of being organized, but even if they weren't, RDS doesn't take on low budget projects.
