WE R SPIES
MTV, why oh why did you have such intriguing yet short-lived cartoon shows several years ago? A while ago I got into Clone High (02-03) and watched the youtube videos of it.
Now, it's Spy Groove (2000), described by one viewer as "what Austin Powers should've been like." I've got to agree.
Any show that calls its Hardy-Boys-looking main characters 'Agent 1' and 'Agent 2' (or as a villain puts it in the pilot: "the Olsen Twins of the espionage world") must be fairly decent. Any show that somehow manages to evoke the retro feel of those E-Surance commercials without making me angry, must be pretty exciting. Any show, basically, that works in a three-second flashback to its main characters being true to their modern-day personalities back when they were in the Boy Scouts together...
...and takes the time to actually get the uniform design correct...well, said show must be a good candidate for Kickass Find Of The Week.
Oh, and the beautiful woman du jour in the Greece episode is named Tracy Momandpopodopolis. For serious, MTV? Good on ya.
