I know times have changed, but this fall schedule is just depressing. Two comedies, and just six scripted shows altogether. Rest reality and sports.

This was a lot of fun. Really recaptured some of that 1940s Looney Tunes zaniness; the Clampett classic Baby Bottleneck seemed to be a particular influence. And it’s wonderful 2D animation too. Go see this movie!
