Anybody watching this?  It's the animated cartoon spy thing that FX is begging us to watch.  I gave it a shot last night and there were definitely some funny spots.  Aisha Tyler and Chris Parnell are two people I've heard of that supply their voices to characters.  Anyhow, there's some good casual racism and dick jokes in this one.

I missed last night's, but I enjoyed the two I saw last week. I've been a fan of Jon Benjamin since Dr. Katz.
Take that, Adolf Eyechart.

3 Shows so far- all of them pretty good.  Any scene without the main character is a waste to this point, however.

Including the one they previewed in the fall, right?

Correct.  Three total.  Very quoteable.

Decent episode for a funny show last night.  It's likely getting canceled though.  Either get your fix now if you want or don't bother getting attached.

Obviously it's not a perfect source but it's believable.

Say FX cancels it. Is it too expensive of a cast to be picked up by Cartoon Network?

My guess would be yes.  But to me, there's some fat that can be cut from the show.  (Pam in HR, i'm looking at you.)  Then again, she's not really famous.  Just worry about Tyler and Walter.  Chris Parnell can't cost that much.  I'm rambling.  More quoting.

"Captain Lammers!" "Nice read, Velma."
"Hooray for metaphors!"
"I have to get my turtleneck"
