GMMR First Look: “Freak Show”

Forget Sydney Bristow. Move over Jack Bauer. We’ve got a new set of secret agents protecting us against the world’s evil doers – The Freak Squad.

From the disturbed yet hysterical minds of David Cross (Arrested Development) and Jon Benjamin (Dr. Katz) comes a new animated series that shows us that really, anyone can save the world…even if you are freak of nature.

The Freak Show, goes into the lives of circus freaks who just so happen to moonlight as a team of covert, not-so-secret agents for the U.S. government. Conjoined twins Tuck & Benny, the World’s Tallest Nebraskan, Primi the Premature Baby, The Bearded Clam, and the Log Cabin Republican unite to handle the missions that other, lesser agents would…turn down cold.

This for-adults animated series is a little bit Superman, a little Barnum & Bailey with a side of Robert Smigel. And it looks like it’s pretty funny. Did I mention this one isn’t for the kids?
The Freak Show premieres on Comedy Central on October 4th. Check it out.
