This is a twisted, very funny satire on After-School Specials brought to you by a bunch of Second City vets: Amy Sedaris, Stephen Colbert, Mitch Rouse, Paul Dinello, and Greg Hollimon. As a result of the Second City connection, many episodes feature other more famous alumni like Richard Kind ("Mad About You," "Spin City") and Tim Meadows ("Saturday Night Live"). Sedaris, Colbert, Dinello, and Rouse (along w/ Jodi Lennon) had previously created the short-lived, underrated, Cable Ace Award winning "Exit 57" for Comedy Central, which was equally brilliant. This show is intelligent yet crass and, refreshingly, without a laugh track. Let's hope it lasts for several more seasons.
