SuperNews! was a half-hour, satirical animated television series which aired on Current TV. It was created by Josh Faure-Brac who also wrote for the show and performed the majority of male voices. The show is primarily based on popular culture satire and political humor. Frequent characters include animated interpretations of such mainstream figures as President of the United States Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Senator John McCain, and various pop-culture icons and celebrities such as Lindsay Lohan, Perez Hilton, and Britney Spears.

History

Josh Faure-Brac created the pilot for SuperNews! in 2005 which was developed to appear with the launch of the new cable network Current TV and subsequently all of the art and animation was created by Faure-Brac and Steven K. L. Olson until 2006. Faure-Brac and Olson were then joined by animator Dustin McLean (of literal music video) who later became assistant director for the show. SuperNews! episodes (short-form segments) aired in Current TV's "shuffle" rotation.

In March 2009, as Current TV started shifting to more traditional 30-minute programming, the show transitioned to a full half-hour program consisting of several shorts married together by thematic transitions. During these transitions, the show's logo and mascot Earf would appear in very brief scenes that often related to the previous or upcoming segment.

Season 2 premiered on November 12, 2009.

SuperNews! formerly aired every Thursday night on Current TV at 11:00 P.M./10:00 P.M. Central

SuperNews! was cancelled on May 12, 2010.

Deletions

• During the Danish cartoon controversy, Current TV briefly took down the cartoon The Gods Must Be Bowling off of their website.
• The cartoon Goodbye, Mr. Rove had been removed from Current TV's website due to a reservation copyright on the song Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now); however it remained on Current TV's YouTube profile until all videos were removed in August 2013.
• Current TV had a problem with some copyrighted songs in Rambo vs. Terror, and deleted all episodes of this cartoon series on Current TV's website. All episodes eventually appeared in a SuperNews! Classics episodes with changed songs.
