Ugly Americans Gets Additional Order

NEW YORK: Comedy Central has ordered seven further episodes of the animated comedy Ugly Americans, which has averaged 2 million total viewers over the course of its first season.

The additional episodes will premiere this October. The series follows a social worker at the Department of Integration as he helps new citizens, both human and "other," adapt to the hectic life in New York City. Jobs include helping wean vampires off blood, socializing land-whales and housebreaking werewolves. In its first season, Ugly Americans was the second most-watch show in all television on Wednesday nights with men 18 to 24, only behind its lead-in, South Park.

"Once you add zombies, demons and werewolves into the New York City melting pot, you have something for everyone," said Kent Alterman, the head of original programming and development at Comedy Central. "Ugly Americans is the feel good show for our depraved audience."

"The chance to delve further into this insane world with more episodes is a nightmare come true. But in a really, really good way," added David Stern, the show’s executive producer.
