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.

I'm an avid horror fan. I always have been. But I've also liked Comedy, too. And it seems sort of tough to blend the two together and get a satisfying aftermath. Ugly Americans does just that. Treating life casually as New York is now inhabited by every monster imaginable, the misadventures our two main characters find themselves in are often very humorous! However.. I do have to admit that, as good as this concept sounds on paper, for my taste, it didn't adapt itself properly. The first season was hard to watch, the animation, if that's what we want to call it, visually insulted the viewers. It looked like nothing more than simply drawn angles and mouths moving.I wanted so bad to love this show, but I was far than impressed when I first saw how the creators chose to execute it. Though, with it's new season starting, the colors, animation, and story lines look much more interesting. I'll give it a try this season to see if it entertains me (hopefully more) than it's first.

"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.

I don't usually write reviews so bare with me.My first impression from the ads was that this show would be another forgettable, slightly amusing animation that would die out after a season or two. Well, at least I was wrong on the first two counts and hopefully wrong on the last.This show is unique and refreshing with an animation style similar to the short lived Adult Swim show Superjail. The pacing is fast and fun and it never lets up on the jokes.Another aspect of this show that I really appreciate is the crafting of an interesting and expansive world all of it's own. The locations are all very different from one another and with their own 'charming' attributes. In the pilot episode we are introduced to Hell which has some very interesting stores.The characters are widely varied in both personality and appearance and it just adds to the enjoyment. From the pretty average main character Mark's demon spawn boss/girlfriend Callie to his zombie roommate Randall to his wizard co-worker Leonard at the Department of Integration, Ugly Americans has plenty of interesting characters to keep you laughing.All in all this show, despite having monsters and creatures, is basically a mirror of our own. It pokes fun at all kinds of situations in everyday life in a more grounded way than I thought possible in a show of this kind. Ugly Americans has had a promising start, offering plenty of laughs and interesting characters to have me waiting in anticipation for new episodes. Check it out, people. You won't be disappointed.
