Ugly Americans - "Blob Gets Job" - Talkback [4/7]

[chdr]

Comedy Central's newest animated series Ugly Americans airs tonight at 10:30 PM Eastern, right after an all new South Park. This week:

While staying with Randall's parents, Mark accidentally "outs" his roommate as a zombie; Leonard tries to identify a strange new creature.

It doesn't need to be funny, as long as it keeps being interesting anyway, great episode.

Is there any place available online where Ugly Americans can be seen? I've only seen episodes one and two so far.

I just watched a few of the episodes. And I must say, what everyone is saying is true.

It's pretty funny.

I'm on the fence with Ugly Americans. I think the premise is great and has lots of potential, and there are some good jokes here and there, but the characters, for the most part, are just there. None of the cast members are particularly engaging or likable; they go out of their way to show them as jerks, deviants, drunks, perverts or whatever, but there's no redeeming warmth or personable side to any of them. The lack that something extra that makes you care about them.

Plus, the characters don't interact with each other much; Mark interacts with each other cast member individually, but there's no rapport between any of the other characters, plus Mark himself is little more than an audience avatar.

If UA put a tad more work into its' cast and the writing could tighten up just a bit, I'd be more on board with the show.
