And as promised by the Showtime network executive Robert Greenblatt, Ullman portrays ninety percent of the characters of both genders (including an uproarious send-up of David Beckham). Needless to say it comes as great news to fans that the Emmy nominated show has been greenlit for a second season which will run a total of seven episodes in 2009.
In Eagle Rock Entertainment’s release of the complete first season, thirty additional minutes of bonus footage are included such as extra series promos, bloopers, and outtakes, character screen tests (complete with commentary from Ullman as we realize how integral the makeup and wardrobe is to the show) along with deleted scenes.
While there’s no substitute for the episodes themselves, there’s no doubt that devotees and Ullman enthusiasts like myself without premium cable will want to hunt this one down as by jam-packing that many characters and jokes into every single episode, you’ll want to savor the humor and go back to witness your favorite impersonations again and again. Just try to stop yourself before bursting out in song next time you see a customer refilling his Viagra prescription at your local pharmacy if you can.
