Time Warner’s kooky, avant-garde Adult Swim network said it would launch a live-action series featuring “30 Rock” veteran Jack McBrayer along with one-time Conan O’Brien cohort Triumph the Insult Comic Dog in a half-hour live-action comedy series sure to raise eyebrows in its recently expanded primetime.

In the series, created by Robert Smigel and produced by Poochie Doochie Productions and Universal Television, McBrayer plays a former child star – named Jack – of a popular “Lassie”-type series that ran in the ‘80s and ‘90s. The two separate after a troubled period of indulgence. But 15 years later, with Jack finally self-sufficient, Triumph finds his way back into Jack’s life.

The show will join series “Rick and Morty,” “The Boondocks” and “Childrens Hospital” in the network’s primetime lineup. Adult Swim, which shares space with Cartoon Network. recently expanded its schedule by an hour to start at 8 p.m. each evening.

This is not the first time the unusual pair have drummed up laughs. McBrayer and the acerbic canine once appeared together to memorable effect in a sketch onTBS’ “Conan” program:
