No, there's satire in Drawn Together. If you've ever hung out with Goth chicks, for instance, the Betty-Boop character can be very, very funny. But that's where it's inconsistent... Some characters satirize certain types of real people (Betty Boop), others satirize stereotypes (Pikachu), and others simply satirize "the Real World" (the Disney Princess).

That's in the character setup, and I agree that there's the potential for a good show here. However, what I was referring to was the "sausage on a pizza" storyline. It's predictable, not at all clever, and outrageous just to be outrageous. I'm looking for something else to grab onto, but I'm having difficulty finding it.

A commercial for "The Venture Bros." just came on. Now THAT'S a clever show that I heartily recommend. A Johnny Quest parody of hilarious proportions.
