Bedtime Stories
Between the return of Broad City, Nathan For You, and Vice Principals, September is going to be a good month for TV comedy. And we won’t even have to wait that long for the comeback of one of our other favorites, Tim and Eric. Those who attended their 10th anniversary show at Town Hall last month got a surprise glimpse of this and were sworn to secrecy; now the duo has officially revealed a teaser for a half-hour special of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! that will premiere Sunday, August 27 at midnight on Adult Swim.
After Season 5 of the spazzed-out, parodical sketch show aired in 2010, Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim laid off the shrimp and white wine and have been keeping busy with a bevy of other projects, including becoming cult leaders, impersonating Haribo bears, and even doing some serious acting. Heidecker has taken to lambasting Trump in song, and also released an (unrelated) pee-play album.
In 2013, Tim and Eric teamed up again to unleash another show, Bedtime Stories, which is basically Twilight Zone on acid. And here’s their other announcement: The new six-episode season of that premieres on Adult Swim on Sept. 10 at midnight. A press release promises guest stars like Rhea Perlman, Ray Wise, Jorge Garcia, Andre Royo, Sarah Sutherland, and Fred Willard.
Watch the Tim and Eric teaser above to hear their ode to tiny Lamborghinis. Will their new material be better than “Pumpers”?
