by While you were wondering if Sarah Silverman and Demetri Martin would get renewed, Comedy Central announced today it had ordered seven additional episodes of its new animated series Ugly Americans. The cable network have the series a huge promotional push, and it has been rewarded with an average of two million viewers for its first month of episodes on Wednesday nights following South Park.
The series follows Mark Lilly (voiced by Matt Oberg) through a New York City populated by all sorts of creatures who need to be integrated into the melting pot of America. The main voice cast includes Kurt Metzger, Natasha Leggero, Randy Pearlstein, Michael-Leon Wooley, Larry Murphy, Devin Clark, Pete Holmes and Julie Klausner. Several cast members from SNL also have lent their voices to episodes in the debut season.
The second batch of episodes will air in October. Here's a timely clip with a timelier Larry King joke. Roll it.
I haven’t been watching Demetri Martin this season, and I haven’t watched Sarah Silverman in years, but I follow this show religiously. It’s been better than South Park this season and easily one of the best new shows on TV. Comedy Central out-Adult-Swimmed Adult Swim.
I can’t wait to see the writers delve deeper into the show’s universe, and especially to see more Leonard. One of the best characters in years. Can cartoon characters win supporting actor Emmy’s?
BRING BACK UGLY AMERICANS!! THEY ARE WAY BETTER THAN MORE THAN HALF THE SHIT OUT THERE!!!
