Ugly Americans is an animated series on the Comedy Network with well done mature humour and content. The show takes place in an alternate reality New York City, America where all stereotypical fantasy/monster creatures live side by side with humans. The lead character is Mark who is a councilor assigned to deal with acclimatizing new arrivals to the city into co-existing with humanity and the other colorful inhabitants. Mark has a few good friends. His roommate, Randall, is a zombie who often fights the urge to eat Mark. At work he has his friend Leonard who is a wizard. Mark's girlfriend, Callie, is a sexy demon who works also in the same office but in upper management. She at times (to Mark's horror) gives in to her demonic tendencies in bed and at intense moments in their relationship.
Despite its outlandish premise the show addresses typical 30 something situations in work, friendship, and love with wit and humor and (at the very least to me) has some digs at pop culture and nostalgia for us 30-40 something geeks. Ugly Americans airs weekly on the Comedy Network (I think) right after South Park's time slot and thankfully (almost) does not require a hit of your favorite contraband to enjoy.
And here is snother show I need to tag to watch online. Where do you find the time and take care of B as well?
