Adult Swim Gives Green Light To Animated Comedy From Dan Licata and Joe Pera, My Two Cars

Adult Swim is revving up its programming slate with My Two Cars, the only show brave enough to explore what happens when a man owns two cars and all the joy and frustration that comes with it. The animated quarter-hour comedy from co-creators Dan Licata (Saturday Night Live) and Joe Pera (Joe Pera Talks With You) follows a man forced to grapple with an absurdly epic daily dilemma: choosing between his two beloved vehicles.

From the official series description:

Imagine you are lucky enough to own both a PT Cruiser and a Mini-Cooper. Your day-to-day life would be insane! But also hard hard. Keith Asshole does not have to imagine this, and in each episode he has to make the difficult decision which one to drive.

The character of Keith Asshole, an Ohioan navigating the series’ central dilemma, is voiced by Licata.

“Few shows (and fewer show runners) are courageous enough to explore life’s biggest questions,” said Michael Ouweleen, president, Adult Swim. “But Dan and Joe are more than brave enough to confront head-on the perplexity of which car to drive today.” 

“It's a simple premise with good characters and great cars,” said Licata and Pera. “We appreciate Adult Swim allowing us to see such a dumb idea through into an entire season.”

 My Two Cars is Pera’s second show on Adult Swim, following his acclaimed series Joe Pera Talks With You, which ran for three seasons on the network. Licata is also returning to Adult Swim after writing for Pera’s series and contributing to the animated comedy Teenage Euthanasia.

My Two Cars is animated by Green Street Pictures, the studio behind the Emmy^® and Annie Award–nominated Adult Swim series Common Side Effects, as well as the Emmy-nominated Scavengers Reign.
