In 1997, Film Roman, the company behind 'The Simpsons' was given the green light to produce an animated version of the Blues Brothers. Unfortunately, during Fall 1997, two months after the appointment of David Pritchard as new president and CEO, UPN (United Paramount Network) canceled its order for 13 episodes of the series. What had been produced was screened at MIPCOM, and was one of the more popular cartoons shown.

Miscellaneous Information
Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter discusses his guitar:
"I have had quite a few opportunities to use this guitar in a studio situation," Baxter said. "I've used it on the TV show King of the Hill and the new Blues Brothers animated TV series that I'm working on. I used it on a movie soundtrack for Michael Camen. I used it on that GTE commercial where we did the Beatles song 'Help.' It works quite well."
This is about Mark Hamill:
Hamill will be voicing Detective Armbrister on the prime-time, twice-delayed "Blues Brothers" animated series for UPN, based on the John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd characters from Saturday Night Live and a 1980 film. Hamill described his character as the "Neanderthal sidekick" to the series' main villain, Alderman Alderman.
