Make sure you watch this show! It's not an uncommon scenario, but I came across this show long after it's unfortunate cancellation. I'm serious! This is a great show that combines the actors and humor of both scrubs and mad TV. The humor in the show is a combination of subtle jokes, awkwardly funny situations, and utter ridiculousness. Being a HUGE history person I immediately tuned in for the premiere episode and loved it! Not to Mention it has some of the best special guest episodes Such as Tom green and Marylin Mandson. It's time to laugh and shiver and cry. I was rolling on the floor, laughing the whole time.

The characters in the show are likable and the voice acting is appropriate for the show.
Was this review helpful? Way, way, back in the 1980's, secret government employees dug up famous guys and ladies and made amusing genetic copies. This show can be enjoyed only by the newer aged people i believe such as teens and people under 30 but it is still very very good. Unfortunately, there is only one season but it is quite a ridiculous season none-the-less. On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 based on reviews from critics, the show has a score of 60, based on seven reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews".
