Does anyone else dig this show? It's only been on for a few months, but I'm already a fan. If you haven't heard of it, the plot in a nutshell is that pretty much every fictional creature you can imagine is real and lives alongside humans; the main character is this guy named Mark who lives in New York and works at the Department of Integration helping the creatures blend into human society (finding them jobs, teaching them social mores, etc). He lives with a zombie roommate named Randall and has a demon girlfriend named Callie.
So the show is pretty much a bucket of laughs. I like that Mark isn't unlike most "adult" cartoon protagonists in that he's pretty unambiguously good and decent and can usually survive his many weird adventures without sacrificing his morality, and while the humor is kinda dirty, it's so in a pretty sincere, good-hearted way (if that makes any sense at all). But by far my favorite character is Leonard the wizard. His voice alone makes me crack up.
Any other fans here?
