"David Spade has signed a deal with TBS to produce an animated series based on his film Joe Dirt. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Spade will partner with Sony and Happy Madison Productions for the programme. &amp;quot;David Spade is a hugely popular comic talent who has created a funny yet loveable character in Joe Dirt,&amp;quot; said Michael Wright of TBS.  He added: &amp;quot;We look forward to seeing how he and his fellow writers and producers take this character in new directions as TBS continues exploring the world of primetime animation.&amp;quot; The 2001 Joe Dirt movie starred Spade as a broke but extremely optimistic mullet-sporting ne&amp;#039;er-do-well.
