“Barry and Joe: The Animated Series” is actually being created and has an executive producer — local activist and communications consultant Erick Sanchez. He was put in the position on Monday to get the ball rolling on production.

The series, created and directed by Adam Reid, is an animated science fiction sitcom in which former President Barack Obama and Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. are “bromancing the multiverse to save us from ourselves.”

Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson turns the two into younger versions of themselves to go back in time to change history.

As of Wednesday, the team has eight days left to fund the pilot. They need a total of $100,000 and had raised more than $48,000 on Kickstarter from about 600 backers as of Tuesday night.
