"Ugly Americans": New Animated Series To Hit Comedy Central This Spring (VIDEO)

New York City may not be as scary as it was in the 70's and 80's, but Comedy Central's new animated series Ugly Americans shows us a whole new way for the big apple to be frightening. This "horror-comedy" is set in a new kind of New York to which monsters, freaks, fairies and demons emigrate on a daily basis. Meet Mark Lilly, a hopelessly human social worker with the Department of Immigration, who has the stressful job helping all New Yorkers - beastly or otherwise - acclimate to life in the big city. Add a sarcastic zombie roommate, a demonic ex-girlfriend and a slew of other freaks and you've got "Ugly Americans."

This new show is far more promising than Comedy Central's previous animated series such as "Drawn Together" and "L'il Bush." "Ugly Americans" seems more suited for Adult Swim but could definitely hold up on Comedy Central along with "South Park" and "Futurama."

Created by Devin Clark and produced by former "The Simpsons" producer David Stern and Daniel Powell, "Ugly Americans" is slated to premiere on March 17, 2009. It will feature the voices of several comedians and actors such as Natasha Leggero, Michael Leon Wooley, Larry Murphy, Matt Oberg, Randy Pearlstein, Mike Britt, Kurt Metzger, Rebekka Johnson, Pete Holmes, and many more.
