Too many fans seem to be blown away

Good start, but then it gets ruined

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

I didn't catch Ugly Americans the day they went Air, but I was happy when I found out about them. Just to be clear at the very beginning: This show isn't for everyone.Mixing up humans, demons, naked brains and what not may sometimes lead to stupidity, but this show makes it lead to the hilarity. Every episodes brings something new, either sick as hell or little less. It's refreshing to actually see a show which doesn't try too damn hard to be funny. Ugly Americans is simple: it has no rounding plot which will blow your freekin' mind, but it has that simplicity that's required for show to be good. Sometimes you won't even catch a sense out of things but still you'll laugh more than every minute. Many of my friends called this show "Stupid, immature, unfunny and insulting" - I can honestly say that, to the most people, it is. But this show isn't really made for "world-wide-knowing". Is it stupid? Yes. Isn't immature? Yes. Is it unfunny? No. Is it insulting? Hell yes.Still, it depresses me to know that people are so tight in their minds that they can't comprehend simplicity of what this show brings. It's a simple story of billion different races living in the same world, trying to survive on their own ways. Centering a human around it just brings out our nature: we have to be in the center of all things. Mixture of amazingly portrayed characters and that subtle humor which sometimes you expect and sometimes you don't, creates an amazingly funny show which, yet again, is NOT for everyone.Keep your horns up and your T-shirts on, 'cause it's gonna get hot.

The visual style of this cartoon is a COMPLETE rip-off of 1960s-1980s underground comic artist KIM DEITCH. Is he credited anywhere? Look at his artwork and his plots and you'll see what I mean. Many of the same characters as this show are in his work--or pretty similar ones.Check out this YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfqCgf8867c You'll see what I mean.Deitch is/was a contemporary of R. Crumb, Zap Comics and all the SanFrancisco-engendered underground comic book artists of that era, though his work seemed to have more an east-coast NYC lower-east-side of Manhattan subject or vibe a lot of the time. I could not find any allusion to Deitch on this "U-As" IMDb entry, and when I watched the show--on Comedy Central I think--the credits went by too fast to tell.By the way Deitch was affiliated with animation artist Sally Cruikshank at one time.

I stayed up one late night and saw this come on, at first I was really, really confused, 10 minutes later I forgot about how confused I was and now i cant stop watching it.Its so smart, and different from all the other cartoons (Family guy, The Simpsons ). Its not doing what most cartoons are doing now by following Family guys Random Jokes system. Which are funny just think people are getting a bit bored. This show you have to think, which is nice.I am not very happy that its only has 7 episodes in one season and that i have read that its not doing very well in American which probably means that there wont be season 2. Being English, with our superior sense of humour (big head) I find this show very funny, Give it ago watch 2 or 3 episodes before you make your verdict. Or watch episode 6 which takes the absolute p*** out of twilight. The best episode so far. Thanks For Reading Peace

"Ugly Americans" is smart, funny, and exceptionally well drawn. The characters are imaginative, and the dialog is very unique.Mark Lilly is a bleeding-heart liberal, determined to make a difference. Everything he does is well-intentioned, but almost completely ineffective. He reminds all men, I'm sure, of the woman who was dangerously crazy, but knew how to keep a guy around with good sex.Randall is the hilarious zombie roommate. He has held up better than other zombies on the show by paying for skin grafts. His one dead eye is permanently out of service, though.Callie, the half-demon boss and girlfriend of Mark, is incredibly hot! She's drawn and voiced well, and even her movements are sexy. Think Leela from "Futurama" with two eyes. She sheds her skin, and looks ten years younger. What man, or woman for that matter, wouldn't like to see that feature in a mate.Leonard, Mark's wizard co-worker, could wave his wand and fix all the trouble in the world. Something, however, has made him very unambitious. Maybe it's the constant flow of magically conjured super-alcohol he drinks, or maybe it's the fact he had VD for 300 years.So far, after 6 episodes, the show is staying fresh and funny. Let's hope the writers don't run out of ideas.
