Funny how this show ended a few years ago, but for its 3 year run on Comedy Central, I must admit it was one of the best comedy shows I've ever had the pleasure of viewing. To all of you with broadband or a ton of patience, I emplore you to search out the episodes on Kazaa if you haven't ever seen it.

The premise of the show is primarily sketch comedy bound together by agents of the UCB constantly attempting to monitor humanity and create chaos. Sounds odd, but it's very funny, at least IMO.

30 episodes in all, 10 episodes per season. Staple UCB episodes would be:
Season 1
Episode 1 - The Bucket of Truth
Episode 3 - Saigon Suicide Squad
Episode 4 - Ass Pennies
Episode 8 - The Time Machine
Episode 9 - Cyborgs
Episode 10 - Little Donny (probably the most well-known episode)

Season 2
Episode 7 - Religion Expo
Episode 8 - Poor People Air
Episode 10 - Supercool

Season 3
Episode 2 - Mafia
Episode 4 - Music
Episode 6 - College
Episode 7 - Sex
Episode 8 - Humans vs. Dolphins
Episode 9 - Technology
Episode 10 - Pro Thunderball

The show was pure genius indeed, WHY THE HELL DID IT GET CANCELLED?!
UCB and Kids in the Hall were my two favorite (I kid you not, favorite) shows goin back in that time.
Ah...good times... happy.gif

KitH was classic as well. Favorite episodes would have to be the one where they stole the old lady's gazeebo and the one with the demon in the apartment. Brain Candy was also a funny movie. At least funny if you liked KitH.

I honestly don't know why UCB was cancelled. I believe it was because Comedy Central had some new program they thought would be a hit and used it as reason to not pick UCB up for a 4th season. This mystery hit, of course, flopped.

"Win Ben Stein's Money", no doubt.

Actually, it wasn't that one. It was some show that was only on for about one season, and then dissappeared. I'll try and find it and edit it in...

Okay, found it. UCB was replaced by "The League of Gentlemen."
Saturn9
Okay, that sounds kind of familiar...
Obviously wasnt that good, cause I dont remember a thing about it.

It was weird. It had a moment or two but it was weird. LoG I mean. when they were porting over alot of British comedies.

I love the Bug Juice skit. Where the priest/counselor had his co-worker hurt him until some kid who drank the bug juice fessed up. It was obvious who drank the juice because the kid had a gren mustache. The kid didn't fess up and even helped smash glass in front of the bare foot counselor.
