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.
