"Leave it to Dan Harmon to turn the mythos of early Greek civilization into remarkably sharp commentary on today's politics, celebrity and pop culture," he said. "This project is an incredibly irreverent family comedy as told by one of the town's most inventive storytellers. We are proud to be partnered with Dan on this series, which strengthens our hold on the animation space and, as we continue to build Fox Entertainment, marks an important first step for us with our first fully-owned scripted property."

Should be great

Premise sounds interesting enough, and I generally like Harmon's stuff. Looking forward to it.

 

[steviestar3]

Knowing Harmon's track record it'll be fantastic for 2-3 seasons then sharply fall off and never recover

 

[Typhoon20]

6 seasons and a movie !

You still owe us a movie Dan.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

My only request is that it does not visually resemble Rick & Morty, which has become really played out.

Better to have 3 flawless seasons than a few pretty good seasons with 5-6 terrible ones.

I still maintain that those first few seasons of Community are arguably some of the, if not the best television to have ever aired.

That will depend on whether or not Justin Roiland is involved.

Yeah, I think s1-3 are pretty easily in my top 5 TV comedies. I loved the first season of Rick and Morty quite a bit, too, so... I'm obviously in. The premise sounds like it might be a bit too out there for me to get invested, but I'm definitely gonna give it a try.

 

[SnakeXs]

I'm Greek. How do I audition.

 

[Falchion]

Sounds like a really fun concept. I'll watch.

You had me at "Dan Harmon."

 

[Moppeh]

Love Dan's work so I'm down.

It's weird to hear about Harmon news from, well, the news. I used to listen to Harmontown religiously.

He doesn't have this track record though.

 

[MadLaughter]

I haven't kept up with Harmon since the Community days, he seemed like a smart guy with a lot of demons. I remember seeing one of his writers talking about major issues they had.

Has he found any peace in the last couple years? Mended any bridges? Or just receded from the public eye?

The Justin Roilland show, Solar Opposites resembles Rick & Morty's art style so much that it's unbearable. (also the whole show feels like a poor man's R&M)

 

[Shedinja]

Ugh. Fine. I'll watch this.

I just want a Community movie.

 

[HustleBun]

Funny, I was just re-watching Dan Harmon's exponentially belligerent tirade over the Cat In The Hat: The Movie: The Game. It's fucking hilarious.

 

[DevilMayGuy]

Hell yes

Same here. Oh man, every episode and then re-listens. So good.

Up until his divorce. It started getting super heavy and I couldn't handle the depressing nature of the show at that point in my life. I never really went back after that.

But yeah, Harmontown was a shining beacon of happiness in my life from about 22-24.

 

[Loud Wrong]

Just dont let Roiland anywhere near the mic. He's great on RaM, but no more please.

 

[MrRob]

Hades : The animated series

 

[MDSVeritas]

Sounds amazing, Community is IMO the best comedy series I've ever seen, and Rick and Morty has some amazingly witty and heartfelt moments too. Dan seems to be one of the best writers and showrunners around.

 

[Autumn]

Polar Opposites was watchable, even though the subplot storyline was better than the actual show.

Can't wait, I love Harmon's work.

Sounds cool! Will keep an eye on this.
