[edit] General Changes
Hi, I'm LoganTheGeshrat, and I started the super jail article. This part of the talk page is for general changes to the article. I plan to add an Infobox about the show sooner or later. Feel free to, like, completely revamp the page if you like, I'm sure the people that edit about TV alot can do much better than I can on this page. You may have noticed a part of The Warden's character bio is in italics for no reason, if someone could fix this it would be appreciated. Thanks for all your help!

[edit] The Other Superjail
I found out there's another Superjail article called "Super Jail" it's shorter than this one, do you think we should ask an admin to delete it?

Easier to just redirect from that page to here, which I just did. Here's the text of it, if there's anything that needs to be incorporated into this article:
Super Jail is an Animated television series from the makers of Barfight and Space War, Christy Karacas, airing on May 13th, 2007 on Adult Swim The pilot episode is currently on the Adult Swim website. The premise of the show has been described as "Hardened criminals are imprisoned on the Moon." The Series is expected to begin in 2008.
The driving force of the story is the Warden; a mad genius with Willy Wanka-esc eccentricities. As he himself explains in the pilot: the Warden inherited a vast fortune and many reasources from his father The Prison Mogul; all of which he vowed to put towards furthering the cause of justice by mastering the "art of incarceration". He claims however that the world was "not ready" for his methods, so he was forced to take his cause outside the system by creating his enormous, high-tech, neigh-inescapable, extra dimensional prison facility: Super Jail. The Warden is assisted in this effort by Jarred, Super Jail's worry-wort chief administrator; Alica, Super Jail's pitiless strong-arm head guard and Jail-Bot, a robot the Warden apparently created with a wide variety of built in tools and abilities that make it a one-robot capture and guard staff. Super Jails has some other staff, but they are mostly undefined backgroun characters.
The Warden keeps Super Jail stocked with hardened criminals who the conventional system has in one way or another failed to control. Most often, these are prisoners who have escaped or been released from "real jail". Jail Bot is apparently sent on regular trips to apprehend these criminals and bring them back to Super Jail, where they are hastily drugged, greeted by the Warden, and confined to their cells. It is unclear weather the Warden has any intention of ever rehabilitating or even releasing any of Super Jail's inmates or if he simply plans to keep them confident indefinitely. Many inmates are killed on an apparently daily basis which causes little or no concern on the Warden's part, though it does not seem that the deaths of the inmates is a specific goal of the Warden's.
The Warden prides himself on maintaining an atmosphere of barely controlled chaos throughout Super Jail at all times; he appears to feel this is somehow beneficial to the incarceration process. To this end, he often relies on/tolerates the presence of two of Super Jails most troublesome inmates; the identical technology experts known as the Twins. The Twins are constantly spying on the staff of Super Jail and attempt to sabotage the Warden's various plans for super jail; apparently to no end greater than their own amusement. The Warden seems to welcome this sabotage as it contributes to his prized chaotic atmosphere. In the pilot, the Warden plans to outfit the inmates with bunny suit uniforms in the hopes of pacifying them. However, the twins hack the uniform order and seem half the inmates outfitted instead with wolf suits, leading to extremely bloody and destructive infighting. In response, the Warden takes steps to increase the violence between the inmates in order to use the corpses of the inmates slaughtered in process to replace a shipment a meat that was spoiled in a refrigerator accident. Such occurrences appear to be business as usual at Super Jail.

[edit] Hi there!
I enjoyed Superjail, and I would enjoy contributing to this article. The thing is, the source material is so scant that I think we may have differing interpretations of it (so far)... for example, I am very unsure that the Twins are inmates. They clearly have priviledges above inmates, but it's unclear to me if they were originally inmates, or brought in by the Warden for his own mysterious purposes. I also think that since Superjail appears to be the Warden's mentality made real, it's quite possible he was, in fact, planning everything.

I'd like to add some notes about the animation style of Superjail. This may be cause for some debate, though, and I can't really cite sources except my own impressions.
Connections I'd like to make:

Fantstic Planet seems to be a bit out of place there, and I don't really understand limited animation, but the other two have an art style similar to Superjail, and it would be good if we made some kind of connection there, even if we just stated, well, that the art style was similar.

[edit] Evinced
'Evinced' actually is a widely recognized word.. it basically means 'evidenced'. Either one works for me though. Enjoy. MGlosenger 22:20, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
Velocipede is a word too, but nobody know what the hell it means so I just use bicycle instead of being a pretentious jackass. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.180.87.83 (talk) 05:09, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hmmm....
I just watched the Superjail pilot and I must say... this is by far the most fucked-up thing Williams Street has ever done. C1k3 05:53, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
You're not supposed to use the talk pages as a type of forum, but whatever.....Plus, isn't that why we love Superjail? LoganTheGeshrat 15:10, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Removing the part about it airing in 2008
The citation needed tag has been up for a long time. There is no evidence I can find that the show got picked up by Adult Swim. I'm removing the part about it airing in 2008. I'd be happy if someone put it back up (with proper citation) as I'm hoping to see more episodes of the show, but it looks like it isn't going to happen in the near future.
[edit] News from Augenblick Studios!
In response to an inquiry, I received an email from Aaron Augenblick:
We're currently working on ten episodes for adult swim. We're supposed to premiere in October. Wait til you see the new stuff. It's wild!
Check out cartoon brew for a big Superjail article.
Aa
This was sent on March 4th, 2008. I don't know what the best way to get this new information into the article is, but I hope it's useful.

The correct title of this show is "Superjail!" with the "!", not "Superjail". The title NEEDS TO BE CHANGED!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.10.88.69 (talk) 18:09, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
