Kid Notorious

I'm so happy. Finally, a clever, absurdist, evil piece of animation to rival South Park. Kid Notorious is mean and observant. Evans mocks himself with a light heart. From his big, no-nonsense maid Tally, to his yes-man butler English the show is filled with lovable characters. Can I just say that Slash being the voice of reason is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. It's not a show for people who don't like dark comedy. My personal favorite is Puss, the Kid's kitty-cat, who also holds his stash and advices him with mewls and miaows. It's definitly a show for people who are "into" Hollywood and it's wicked ways. Anyway, have fun and tell Puss hello.

"Kid Notorious" was just one of the many unsuccessful shows that Comedy Central has tried to launch since "South Park" hit big in 1997. The plot to the this great yet short-lived animated series followed the adventures of Robert Evans, arguably the most famous (or infamous depending on how you look at it) Hollywood producer of all time. I've been a fan of Evans' ever since reading his autobiography The Kid Stays In The Picture, which was turned into a documentary/biography by filmmakers Nanette Burstein and Brett Morgen in 2002. The success of that film lead to this series. Unfortunately, this show could not duplicate the success of that film was canceled within months. Perhaps it was too cartoonish for viewers. The writers took full advantage of the fact that this was an animated show, something that other animated series such as "The Simpsons" does not do. My guess though is that as was the case with "Action", viewers just weren't ready for a satiric series about Hollywood. Maybe one they will be. My rating: A

This is one on the best shows I have seen in a long time. It's so funny and edgy Comedy Central has another hit! Who know the kid was so cool! I hope this one has as good of a run as South Park.

Everyone has heard about the amazing life of Robert Evans and this makes for great possibilities in this show. This show is a great spoof of "Hollyweird" and how movies and TV shows are really made. inside info and references make this a great show. I hope this show gets a chance to have a good long run for many years. There is nothing better than intelligent TV and this is one of the best.

I agree, Kid Notorious is so good I wonder if it will catch on. I'm recording as much as I can before they yank it like they did Dr. Katz. The first one I saw was with Jacques Chirac and it just railed on the French, talk about timely! I laughed so hard and was hooked. Only the coolest show would have Chirac, Rumsfeld, Kim Jung Il and Slash in it. As for the racial stereotype, lighten up, Tully Mae is one of the best characters. Besides, everyone is stereotyped just as they are on the Simpsons and South Park. "Ain't it Great! You bet your ass it is!"
