New York, Sept. 23 -- MTV has announced plans to air two new U.S. comedy series -- the animated celebrity spoof "Popzilla" and the hidden-camera show "Disaster Date."

The series are to debut Monday.

"Disaster Date" is a half-hour series that will give people who have been set up on horrific blind dates a chance to get revenge. The show features a cast of improvisational actors that cycle through the series playing different characters no one would want to date -- from "The Momma's Boy" to "The Aspiring Trophy Wife" to "The Hypochondriac Germaphobe," MTV said in a news release.

"Popzilla" is described as an "alternative gossip celebrity news source" that targets the rich, the famous and the infamous.
