Seeso continues to bolster its comedy show reputation by announcing more dates for new shows. Summer premiere dates for a GQ series, Wyatt Cenac's new show and one from Dan Harmon, who already has maybe four other shows elsewhere. Save some creative juices for the rest of us, Harmon! And on June 16th, Seeso will debut a movie based on LA women's rec league basketball team, The Pistol Shrimps. The full list of shows can be found below:

IFC would like some more 'Comedy Bang! Bang!' please
In the midst of this current 40 episode fourth season of the show, IFC sat down and decided that it was time to offer up a renewal for Comedy Bang! Bang! to which Scott Aukerman probably replied "This makes my little butt wet!"
IFC president Jennifer Caserta also had nice things to say about the show and its host: “Scott has created an absurd world that attracts the biggest names in pop culture,” she said, “They show up, do insane things and oftentimes come back for more. We have no idea how he does it, but we’re not about to start asking questions now.”
Kid CuDi is set to replace Reggie Watts as band leader this July. A 20 episode fifth season will come next year. Maybe then Aukerman can find a way to implement a television version of the podcast's game "Riddle Me This."
