Alien News Desk

Description: A weekly half-hour topical animated series set in an extraterrestrial newsroom.

The anchors provide a hard-hitting look at the universe's real news -- give or take a few intergalactic translation errors, highlighting the absurdity of our current state of affairs, as well as the more evergreen, oddly-comedic human behaviors and constructs that people take for granted.
