    If you haven't heard about it, here's the Comedy Central blurb :
    Take New York City, add every horrifying beast, science-fiction freak, and fantasy faerie, shake thoroughly, and you've got UGLY AMERICANS. This animated horror-comedy series follows one Mark Lilly, social worker at the Department of Integration, as he helps new citizens both human and "other" adapt to hectic life in the Big Apple.

    There are easier tasks than weaning vampires off of blood, socializing land-whales, and housebreaking werewolves, but Mark is up to the challenge. Between his stressful job, a zombie roommate, and a demon ex-girlfriend, Mark's lucky if he can sneak in a few minutes of sleep. But who can sleep when there's a drop-dead gorgeous Mermaid sitting at the bar?

    UA is a quirky sci-fi comedy animation, just started it's second season. It follows Mark (the normal human guy) in his personal and social life. Definitely more adult themes than say The Simpsons, but less crude than (eg) Family Guy and no cutaway gags! I'd recommend giving it a try if you haven't seen it.

    Ohh, no love for UA :( Can't blame ye I don't think it's on European TV!

    Best episode of the season so far was last week's "Attack of Mark's Clone"
    Callie decides to makes a clone of Mark so that the DOI Bowling Team will win their tournament. But when Clone Mark finds a cruel message in Callie's secret diary, he decides to get revenge by framing her for murder.

    This show is definitely unsuitable for younger viewers; it's adult in a different way to Family Guy; which is more tasteless jokes more so than explicit content. UA is definitely a very odd mix!
