After the runaway success of Tommy Lee Goes To College and Rockstar: Supernova, it just makes all kinds of sense, right? Errrr, maybe third time's the charm? Whichever way you are viewing your glass today, Fox has a new animated series in development called The Life And Times Of Jimmy Jaxx. The show, being helmed by the team behind Blades Of Glory, is loosely based on the many and varied exploits of Lee's life.
As much as I like to blame Lee and his "band" for the destruction of the otherwise solid Rockstar concept, this idea sounds like it has some potential. The jump from Tommy Lee's life to outlandish cartoon isn't a difficult one to make. There should be no shortage of story ideas for the foreseeable future. Personally, I'm holding out hope for the Mick Mars guest spot in the Halloween episode. There's no reason this couldn't get slotted into Fox's Sunday animation block.

Is there even anybody left in that band Supernova? I would have prefered that album as an instrumental album. The music sounded better before the vocals were added. I wish they would bring back RockStar:House Band. They could have guest judges and the winner go on a club tour with the house band. Them guys could jam! I always thought they were way better than the band the show was trying to find the singer for.

Merve, I couldn't agree more with your idea for Rockstar: Houseband. They were always great. As far as the band, I don't think they have officially disbanded, but I seem to remember something about Lukas quitting because the rest of the members were away doing other projects.
