MTV to televise two new comedy series

MTV has announced plans to air two new U.S. comedy series — the animated celebrity spoof Popzilla and the hidden-camera show Disaster Date.

The series are to debut Monday.

Disaster Date is a half-hour series that will give people who have been set up on horrific blind dates a chance to get revenge. The show features a cast of improvisational actors that cycle through the series playing different characters no one would want to date — from The Momma’s Boy to The Aspiring Trophy Wife to The Hypochondriac Germaphobe, MTV said in a news release.

Popzilla is described as an alternative gossip celebrity news source that targets the rich, the famous and the infamous.
