Revision as of 10:56, 11 May 2015
In 1997, actor Dan Aykroyd sold to the TV network UPN the rights to the film The Blues Brothers, which he starred in 1980 with the late John Belushi. Film Roman, the animation company that produced The Simpsons, animated eight of the thirteen episodes ordered by the network. However, later in 1997 the series was canceled, and the eight episodes made were never aired.
The fansite Blues Brothers Central provides not only an episode list, but a cast list as well. The Blues Brothers themselves, Elwood and Jake, were not voiced by their original actors (obvious in Jake's case, due to John Belushi's death in 1982), but rather Aykroyd and Belushi's brothers, Peter Aykroyd and Jim Belushi. The site also says that the eight episodes were shown at MIPCOM (a TV entertainment market/festival of sorts, held once a year in Cannes).[1] Other than that, the series has yet to be released to the general public.
