Most prime time network shows have a chain of command that would make the Pentagon look like a PTA board.

There's the writers who send their scripts to the show runners who then have to filter their changes through the director who send them to the producer where it's thumbed through and sent to a group of picky censors and so on and so on. Ninety offices later, the script is finally ready for shooting, even though the story went from a quirky drama about a lawyer who represents illegal immigrants to a sci-fi epic about mutant leeches who suck out astronauts' brains through their nostrils.

But actor Jaleel White has found a place in Hollywood where the usual studio aristocracy has been thrown away in the name of freedom and simplicity: the Internet.

"I'm so excited about it because I don't need to go to an executive now," White said in a recent phone interview. "Our focus group is America."

Here's the rundown on what Comedy Central has in store for this summer:

Returning series include Mind of Mencia (new season starts July 8 at 10:00 p.m.), and a new Comedy Central Roast premiering sometime in August, though we don't know who'll be roasted just yet.

Now on to the new stuff:

In June look for new stand-up specials from Larry the Cable Guy (Larry the Cable Guy: Morning Constitutions on June 3 at 8:00 p.m.), Brian Reagan (June 10 at 10:00 p.m.) and Daniel Tosh (Daniel Tosh: Completely Serious on June 17 at 10:00 p.m.).

Just over a month after Comedy Central launched a slew of new web-only series for its Motherload site, the cable network is putting together a new TV series featuring clips from the web site as well as Viacom-owned AtomFilms.

Web Shows will hardly be a high profile program at launch, with a 2:00AM time slot. The program is set to premiere on March 6th, with 6 episodes scheduled so far.

Some of the programs that will make the jump from Motherload to TV include Baxter & Maguire, an animated short featuring a pair of testicles, Balloon Heads, a celebrity mocking show, I Love the 30s, a spoof of VH1's various countdown shows, and Tiny Hands, a program about a guy with... get this, tiny hands.
