Cracked TV is an American sketch anime/live-action comedy television series. It licenses the name and logo of Cracked, but otherwise has no connection with the humor magazine. It was first broadcast on October 14, 2006. The one-hour show airs Saturday nights on Anime National and is in syndication on Coast-to-Coast TV. It was created by Bob Barker and Brendon Small. The series was originally produced by Barker/Small Productions and Casey Jones/David Gnome Entertainment (CDE) in association with Taylor Media Entertainment. Since Barker and Small began the series five weeks after Anime National's premiere(they are recently credited as "executive consultants"), the series has been handled by CDE and Taylor Media Stations Group.
On November 12, 2008, Taylor Media Entertainment announced that it would renew the show's licence after its current season. However, David Gnome said that he would be auditioning new cast members for the show's next season, possibly from FUNimation's voice actors.
New Season
In November 2008, the Defamer website reported that the 4th season of the series would be premiered on Anime National. Later that night, Taylor Media confirmed that the show is renewed for another season.
Format
Cracked TV is taped in front of an anime audience and consists of sketch anime/live-action comedy skits and J-Pop performances. Much of its live-action comedy parodies popular anime shows, movies, music, and covers typical economic and japanese cultural humor.
