I can has cheezburger to be a television show?

The popular I Can Has Cheezburger website will soon hit the small screen.

Bravo Media announced Wednesday that one of its new reality series will focus on Ben Huh, the humor site’s CEO, and his “eclectic staff.”

The show is tentatively called Huh?. Bravo also revealed 10 other unscripted series (see full list below), eight returning unscripted series and two new scripted projects in development for 2013.

Cheezburger is best known for igniting the lolcat meme — photographs of cats with text placed on top of them — but has also spawned or acquired more than 50 sister sites such as FAIL Blog, Know Your Meme, Memebase and The Daily What since 2007.

Huh’s wife, Emily, is the editor of Cheezburger. “We’re not just seen as a cat website company,” she recently told Mashable. “We have been a humor destination for people around the world.”

Though entertaining, Cheezburger is not all fun and games all of the time. I Can Has Cheezburger celebrated its fifth anniversary in January, just a week before all Cheezburger sites “went black” Jan. 18 to protest the Stop Online Piracy Act and Protect IP Act.
