    only a game with childish nuances about difference, about strange characters and about a common language in an exotic universe. demons and koala men, adventures and feelings, good intentions and , sure, Mark Lilly. a kind of large joke at first sigh, it is only an exercise of imagination. a good one, maybe useful because it is, in fact, a kind of parable. the different races and the accidents, the errors and the looking for the best solutions, the crisis and the crumbs of cruelty are references to every day life. nothing new. only cartoons who are the role of jester . it could be irreverent, vulgar or almost chaotic, vulgar or full of sexual connotation but it represents that kind of series who presents the small ordinary things in a new light for understand the profound sense. in fact, it does the jester's job. and the result is far to be mediocre.

    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

    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.

    With more and more animated TV shows being available for adults, Ugly Americans seems like just another one. It's quite entertaining, but it's not quite spectacular or amazing.Although with only the pilot out, it's difficult to ascertain it's viewability, but the characters seem... alright. The plot is.. alright. It's not wildly funny, but it has its moments. The show is a little rough, and with a bit of refinement, could be quite entertaining.I find the idea of using such characters, and such an environment novel and refreshing, but it seems a little stale still, in the stories. You have your regular joe, trying not to be knocked down by the big man. He's a pretty average guy, moreso because everyone else around him is a monster, zombie, alien, wizard, devil.. anything else you can think of. A do-gooder trying to make it in the big world, full of eccentric characters. However, sometimes, as this show proves, having eccentric characters is just not enough.Although, lacking in original story-telling, I have high hopes for it! Since there's been very few episodes, it seems like it could improve. But a revolutionary show? No.
