"When it comes to animation, Netflix has had a lot of success in producing some of the best cartoons you should be watching. And this is especially true when it comes to the area of comedic toons best suited for adult eyes.

From the wild and provocative coming-of-age series "Big Mouth" to the Hollywood satire masterpiece "BoJack Horseman," the streaming service has a lot of worthy contenders for the title of best adult animated series in the past decade. And this year, they aren't slowing down anytime soon on showcasing some fresh additions to its animated comedy lineup.

Netflix is set to debut "Mulligan," a new animated series with some huge comedic talent behind it. The series comes from the minds of co-creators Robert Carlock and Sam Means, who both wrote on hit shows "30 Rock" and "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt." It's also executive produced by their "30 Rock" and "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" collaborator Tina Fey. Looking at their past work, Carlock, Means, and Fey are enough reasons to get excited over "Mulligan." And based on the show's wacky premise, it doesn't look like the three are set to disappoint.

In golf, a mulligan is a do-over shot after already hitting a poor one, and that's what Earth aims to do with society in the upcoming animated comedy series. After surviving an alien invasion, the planet wants to rebuild and learn from its past mistakes. However, Earth may have placed the wrong guy in charge. Here's everything that's known so far.

When will Netflix's Mulligan release?

Netflix > Fortunately, it appears that we aren't in for a long wait with the premiere of "Mulligan," as Netflix gave the official release date at the end of its special first-look clip for the series. "Mulligan" is currently scheduled to drop on May 12, 2023. And with the streaming service's penchant for dropping entire seasons of a show rather than following a traditional weekly episodic schedule, that likely means that when "Mulligan" premieres, its first season will be binge-ready. As for how many episodes to expect this season, that hasn't been officially revealed just yet.

When "Mulligan" was initially announced in 2020, it was revealed that Netflix had ordered 20 episodes of the series. . ."

Rail may erase one of Mesa’s deepest scars
Updated 

Mike Wallace, the legendary – and feared – correspondent for CBS’ “60 Minutes,” had come to town to look into a nasty spat about the future of a prime corner in downtown Mesa. . .
Mesa thought the corner needed some spiffing up. So, it bought and demolished several businesses and homes there in hopes of assembling a parcel for use by an already-existing downtown hardware store. . .
Bailey’s property, however, was not for sale. And when he balked at Mesa’s offer, the city resorted to eminent domain, asserting that redevelopment – even for the benefit of another private business – was a legitimate “public use” under Arizona law. . . Eight days after the story ran, the Arizona Court of Appeals overturned a county judge’s ruling that had favored Mesa in the case. 

Bailey’s shop still stands, the corner’s lone surviving structure.
Now, the coming of light rail may have given Mesa a mulligan when it comes to redevelop.

A Mulligan?

The city – with Bailey’s backing – issued a request for proposals to redevelop the site in late 2015. The lone response came from Chicanos Por La Causa, a 48-year-old, Phoenix-based nonprofit with a strong interest in housing and community development.
Plans call for a five-story, mixed-use complex with nearly 17,000 square feet of commercial and retail space on the ground floor. The 200 apartments will charge market-based rents.
Bailey, who in recent years served on a citizens’ committee that advised Mesa on downtown development, said he has been in talks with the developer.
Jeff McVay, Mesa’s manager of downtown transformation, remains excited about the proposal. . ."
