The Napoleon Dynamite show is set to bring jokes about tater tots and pet llamas back into vogue when it debuts on Fox. The animated show plans to pick up where the movie left off, following Napoleon and his friends around their rural Idaho town.
Almost all of the original actors from the film have signed on to do voice work for the Napoleon Dynamite show. I'm not too sure if the world needs more 'Vote for Pedro' shirts and cage fighter jokes, but I'll definitely be tuning in to the first few episodes to see what all the fuss is about.
