MIKE JUDGE PRESENTS: TALES FROM THE TOUR BUS
Cinemax, 10:00 p.m. ET
SERIES PREMIERE: This new eight-part series is an animated show from Mike Judge, whose cartoon TV triumphs include Beavis and Butt-Head and King of the Hill, and whose live-action TV triumphs include HBO’s current Silicon Valley. Here, he plays combination oral historian and visual storyteller, taking the actual recorded recollections of people involved with various touring musical acts and bringing them to life as half-hour cartoons. Judge also animates and records himself, as narrator and host, and the series will cover such rowdy touring acts as Jerry Lee Lewis, Waylon Jennings, and, as an often tense team, George Jones and Tammy Wynette. First up, in tonight’s premiere: Johnny Paycheck (pictured – or, at least, drawn). For a full review, see Ed Bark's Uncle Barky's Bytes.
