The crime drama/procedural spoof starring Rebecca Romijn, Martin Starr, June Diane Raphael Paul Scheer, and Kate Mulgrew has offered a substantial return on its admittedly cheap investment, adhering to the sensibility that has made Adult Swim the success that it is today. According to TV By The Numbers, NTSF has posted “solid” growth and ratings. Anything “solid” is probably an unmitigated success when dealing with a demographic consisting largely of stoners and insomniacs.

The series will shoot season two some time in early-mid 2012, offering the writers plenty of time to watch 24 so that they can make fun of it a lot more.

In a plotline usually reserved for later seasons of long running seasons, Scheer already had the NTSF go to an alternate dimension for the episode he was filming during our visit. That’s an example of the crazy shenanigans in store for NTSF: SD: SUV. We spoke with Scheer for two minutes in between takes and talked about cell phones, screaming and kidnapping.

Q: When you watch the serious counterterrorism shows, what makes you think, “This is hilarious?”

Paul Scheer: Those shows are so crazy to begin with. That was actually a challenge in writing the show because we were like how do we top what’s already going on? I mean, you have shows where guys are wearing bombs around their neck and you have shows where, oh man, there’s an episode of CSI that takes place in Star Trek, like a 1960s version of Star Trek. There are episodes where people ar buried alive. Those shows blow ours away so we had to kind of find a way to trump it. On our show we have killer dolphins and we have time travel. Every time, we laugh. I think this show could actually be on the air as a real show. It’s not so different.

Q: Do you have a lot of angry screaming cell phone calls?

PS: Oh, primarily angry screaming cell phones. A lot of people cutting each other off, never saying goodbye, a lot of furious driving. A lot of that.

Q: And someone gets kidnapped every week?

PS: Well, I would say someone gets shot every week. Someone’s definitely shot. Every week, someone gets reprimanded. I wish someone gets kidnapped every week. Definitely kills. People get killed. A lot of people get blown up.

Q: This episode is in an alternate universe, right?

PS: Yes, there’s a CERN device in Sweden and the San Diego mayor decides to build her own CERN device here to get the tourism up. In protecting it, I actually time travel to an alternate dimension where NTSF is actually terrorists, not terrorist stoppers.

Q: Why doesn’t everyone have goatees in the alternate universe?

PS: Well, everyone in this universe has ponytails. That’s the thing. We’re not doing the traditional Star Trek. We’re going ponytails. So everyone here has ponytails.

Q: What do you like about the 15 minute Adult Swim format?

PS: The 15 minute Adult Swim format gives you just enough time to not get sick of something.

NTSF: SD: SUV premieres July 21 at 12:15AM on Cartoon Network.

Originally a bumper parody from Children’s Hospital, NTSF quickly spun off into its very own 15 minute series, getting disproportionately big names like Martin Starr, Adam Scott in a wheelchair, Rebecca Romijn, Jeff Goldblum, Rob Riggle, Wilmer Valderrama, Kate Mulgrew, and Ed Helms, all of whom seem to have no problem putting their images aside in the name of jackassery.

There’s no shortage of awesome moments in this trailer, but if I had to pick a favorite one, it would certainly be the guinea pig exploding at the :40 mark.

Also, a beached dolphin gets punched. Like the bastard he probably is.

Yesterday, our own Fred Topel visited the set of Adult Swim‘s upcoming series, “NTSF:SD:SUV”, which stands for National Terrorism Strike Force: San Diego: Sport Utility Vehicle. Check out a preview of the show HERE. He’ll post his interviews with the cast closer to the premiere this summer, but until then we have these shout-outs to tide you, and us, over.

Stoners, get ready to be happy. Adult Swim has picked up 12 episodes of “NTSF:SD:SUV” or Nation Terrorism Strike Force: San Diego: Sport Utility Vehicle” for long. Originated as a mock promo that played during Adult Swim’s parody medical show “Childrens Hospital,” the quick bits did an equally fantastic job of parodying crime procedurals, another television staple that rakes in millions of old people eyes each week Paul Scheer, who dons an impressive head of hair in the promos, will exec produce the show with “Childrens Hospital” exec producer Jon Stern.

The “NTSF:SD:SUV” mock promos featured actors such as Rob Riggle, Brandon Johnson and June Raphael. They’re expected to return for various episodes, but not star in the series as regulars. If you’re an avid Adult Swim fan you should be used to cameos by now. Almost every single show on the network drops in a guest star with each new episode. How else are you supposed to keep the stoners from drifting off to sleep? (Deadline)

^{What? No snarky Goth??}

They may have reneged on "Weird Al" but it looks like The Cartoon Network is still very much in the spoof business. Last night, during an episode of "Children’s Hospital," a preview of the upcoming action series "National Terrorism Strike Force: San Diego: Sports Utility Vehicle." Or "NTSF: SD: SUV" for short(er).

The action series stars Paul Scheer as a Jack Bauer/David Caruso hybrid, and Rob Riggle as a general/terrorist or something. I think what we should all focus on here is the fact that the team employs a rocket launcher-touting chef. Not enough shows have that.

Check out the preview after the jump….
