“Assy McGee” [Harrigan-Adams, 2006] Season 1 [Nov. 2006-Jan. 2007] [TV-MA]

Bizarre and rigidly unadaptable though the concept of a walking pair of buttocks d/b/a/ a gravelly-voiced, surprisingly inept cop (who talks out of his a*sh**e when his butt cheeks vibrate, no less), you do in fact get used to it, kind of- you still find it weird that the fact that he has no arms means when he holds, say, a gun, it just floats. So once that has dissipated, what remains? A not-very-funny (but very edgy- contains mature thematic material, partial nudity, violence), semi-crudely-animated comedy intended, obviously, to satirize cop shows. Its precise quantity of lack of humor- which, of course, is all that matters- allows me to give it the following grade, upped a notch because of the humor you notice only in retrospect: Grade: C PLUS
