I Love Lucy, The Daughter of the Devil


What's good on TV? My vote is for Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil.

This show is on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. It's a fifteen minute mini-show, so minus the commercials, it's probably ten minutes max. The basic premise is that Lucy is a typical teenage girl, dating someone her father doesn't approve of, etc. Plus she's the Anti-Christ. Hilarity ensues. It's on Sunday nights.

A couple of mentions:

Loren Bouchard, the creator, who worked on Dr. Katz, was also responsible, along with Brendon Small, for Home Movies. Here's an interview with him. He and the interviewer talk about Animal Collective in there coincidentally. Plus he mentions the "Jealous Guy" cover by Donnie Hathaway, who sounds like Stevie Wonder, which you can find on Soul Sides : Volume One. Place a hold today! Ein kleine Welt, mein Freund.

H. Jon Benjamin provides the voice of the devil, among other characters on the show. He is a very talented voice actor/comedian, who hails from Worcester, Massachusetts. He has done the voice of Dr. Katz' son, as well as Jason and Coach McGuirk on Home Movies. He gets around. I just heard his voice in a Family Guy episode too.

Highly recommended. The pilot can be found on YouTube: Lucy Daughter of the Devil, while additional episodes can be purchased on iTunes.
