Imagine Cops crossed with Shaun of the Dead, and you have the premise for MTV’s new scripted horror comedy Death Valley. The half-hour series, which premieres on Aug. 29 at 10:30, focuses on a branch of the LAPD called the “Undead Task Force†(UTF) and their battles with various supernatural elements, like zombies, werewolves, and vampires. “Death Valley brings a truly unique blend of comedy and horror to the channel,†says David Janollari, Head of MTV Programming. The cast includes Lost‘s Tania Raymonde and The Hangover‘s Bryan Callen.

It sounds nice, but I expect that they will be a bit original... I don't want to watch a FBI/SWAT version of Buffy, seriously.

Tee hee, thanks for the news The werewolf looked like they put a bit of effort into it, from what I could see of the stuttery playback on my cell.

Apparently MTV is really enthused about the supernatural, there's a new show starting tonight that promises us more werewolves.
Press release:
A year ago, vampires, werewolves and zombies mysteriously descended upon the streets of California's San Fernando Valley. Death Valley is the dark comedy that follows the cops that capture the monsters, and the camera crew that captures the cops.
Follow the horrific yet comedic exploits of the newly formed Undead Task Force (UTF), a division of the LAPD created to combat the emergence of monsters in the San Fernando Valley. Death Valley showcases the outrageous and courageous men and women working the toughest beat in the US: Death Valley.
Balancing dark humor with horror, the show is built upon cold-blooded conflict and character driven comedy, following the cops bent on keeping the streets safe from the presence of the paranormal. Documenting each case of zombie, vampire and werewolf encounter is the daring camera crew that is embedded within the task force, quickly revealing that the monster problem goes much deeper than anyone could have possibly imagined.
Full of subtext about living in today's insane world, Death Valley is at its core a fun, non-stop thrill ride featuring chases, hardcore kills, and extraordinary creatures. The zombies are disgusting, menacing and brutal, the vampires are dangerous, smart and powerful and the werewolves are beastly and insane. From "blood-for-sex" prostitution busts to undead traffic jams, every call from dispatch will take you to a place you've never been: right to the bleeding heart of Death Valley.

And the trailer for this show is hilarious. I'm very much looking forward to it, although the werewolf suits aren't anything too special.
"You're clearly turning into a werewolf sir. I mean you're half way there, you've got a furry belly."
"Why do you smell like balls?" *poke poke*

What kind of humor is this? This show's hilarious. Is it dry humor?? I don't know, but I laughed. Lots. I didn't understand the vamp story though
