I'm a little behind the times here, but as I was doing a little research on Pushing Daisies (my new favorite television show), I came across The Amazing Screw-On Head. It is a one-shot comic book from 2002, but an animated pilot was created in 2006 and released on DVD earlier this year. The Sci-Fi Channel did not pick up the show and now it seems it is sitting in the vast purgatory of television shows. Either way, the pilot is below and Bryan Fuller was the executive producer. Fuller is also the creator of ABC's Pushing Daisies (8 p.m. EST, Wednesdays), as well as Dead Like Me and Wonderfalls (both canceled, but great and on DVD). As I watched the pilot I couldn't help but be surprised that this wasn't on Adult Swim, because it seems to fit in nicely with the weird/funny, but still serious shows they have on there. Check it out and make sure to check out Pushing Daisies on Wednesday, it is a real hit.
PS: I forgot to mention some of the most important things about this pilot. Paul Giamatti (Sideways, Cinderella Man) does the voice of the Amazing Screw-On Head. David Hyde Pierce (Frasier) voices Emperor Zombie and Patton Oswalt (King of Queens) does Mr. Groin, Screw-On's butler. Enjoy!
