"Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil" [Bouchard, 2005] Season 1 [Oct. 2005-Nov. 2007]

A bizarre, gratuitously violent and edgy CG(quasi-3D)-animated show about the multifarious escapades of [read show's title] that manages to come off as excruciatingly unoriginal (only by AS standards, obviously). This is because of the pro forma-ly banal way in which it is edgy and satirical. But, on to more significant matters: its biggest initial problem is that it tempers its Frisky-Dingo-lite (not to mention relatively sporadic) humor with intermittent bizarreness, often (unsurprisingly enough) of the Satanic nature. Its edginess and relatively bizarre nature- not to mention its animation, which is so bizarre that it even freaks someone as relatively jaded as me out- only exacerbate this problem. But this is only a first impression, which given time will yield, sort of, to a comic ingenuity (still hampered by the aforementioned bizarreness, but not as much) that, alas, fails to attain the lofty ranks of its clear imitator, FD. Loren Bouchard's relatively generic comedic vision simply isn't as successful as Adam Reed and Matt Thompson. Rounded down because of the bizarreness (sorry, but I, once again, can't call it anything else). Grade: B
