Really enjoyed season 1, did not like season 2 as much but there was a lot of potential with this.
Pity, lets hope someone can remake this one day or continue it.
Season 1 = 9 Season 2 = 6

Absolutely brilliant show that's was so ahead of its time. Shame it got canceled so early in its lifespan.
Being a New Yorker by birth and a hilariously twisted bastard by nature, I see a bit of myself in all these characters. It'd be a shame if Comedy Central passed on this one before giving it a chance to expand its viewer-ship. This ain't no dry-ass Demetri or Sarah Silverman. Come on now folks! Where else can you find a government bureaucracy run by a demon and staffed by a milquetoast human, a drunken wizard, a smoking-hot, horned demoness and other monstrous, archetypal miscreants. This program ranks up there with South Park and Boondocks with its originality and bizarre and stitch-busting dark humor. It's not for everyone, especially if you're too easily offended by religious/satanic references. For the rest of us grown-ups, there's Ugly Americans.
It's such a shame that Comedy Central basically let this show die, since it had an interesting setting full of potential.
It could be have a fascinating, horror-themed counterpart of Futurama, with the kind of twisted humor that wouldn't have a place in your average animated sitcom.
And honestly, it seems Comedy Central has no real interest in animation (Besides South Park) focusing instead in dreadful and extremely low-quality series that are merely vulgar and not amusing at all.

Ever since the days of The Chapelle Show there has not been a show worthy enough to follow the great South Park, well for me "Ugly Americans" has pulled it off. The animation feels like a Sunday comic strip, but it works extremely well for the mood and tone of this comedy. In every scene of the show the animation will put a very vivid and humorous random character in the background just to add to the mood. The characters, "Mark Lilly, Randal, Grimes, Callie, Leonard the Wizard, and Twayne" all work very well together. The humor is very situational and crude. Some of the parallels the creators make between the setting in the show and real life events (such as the Twilight fad and Jersey Shores) are just hilarious. The relationship between Mark the social worker and his class of outcasts or monsters is just memorable and amazing. This show will make you want to write to Comedy Central and demand more episodes before they trash it like they do everything else.

- TriviaCallie's mother, who is human and has a child from a demon, looks quite similar to Mia Farrow in Rosemary's Baby (1968), in which she gives birth to Satan's child. The series implies that Callie's mother IS Rosemary Woodhouse and even make the character look like Farrow.
