New TV Show by the Makers of Shrek

Yeah.
So, anyway, for whatever alien-possessed reason, I was reading through a copy of People Magazine. I was looking through it and found something interesting. I found this little article that was about, maybe, half a page or so. It described a show set up for the Fall '04 line up on NBC.
Anyway, the show will be called "Father of the Pride", and will be about a family of white lions who work on the Sigfried and Roy show. There will be two children (whose names are unknown but will aparently be a boy and a girl), a mother (named Kate), a father (named Larry), and Kate's father who hates Larry (named Sarmoti). It will be CGI animated as well.
Supposedly it's going to cost between 2 and 2.5 million buckaroonies to make each episode, and according to People Magazine, it takes 9 months to make each episode. That last one, I doubt. I'm thinking that if that's so, then we'll have something along the lines of this when it debutes; people will watch and say "That's a good show" and hear that the next episode will be out in Summer '05, and then turn off their TVs.
Based on the articles I read it sound like it will be rather good. They described one episode where Kate finds drugs (catnip) in her daughter's room and confronts her. Her daughter wittily retorts with "Maybe it's Sigfried and Roy's. It would explain their costumes."
So it sounds like it will have all of Shrek's good humor and taste. But, ah, what do you think? I'm hoping it'll be good, but I'm sadly not holding my breath.
It'll take a lot of views to pay for $2.5 million dollars per episode.
