Anyone see Spy Groove when it was on MTV?

What did everyone think of the show? It seemed pretty funny to me when I saw it, it seemed like they where trying to hard to be funny. Wasn't to big on the art style either. Anyway, over all pretty good, not Daria level though IMO.

SPY GROOVE was cool. The animation, while VERY cheap, was sorta cool. The main characters were pretty good and the stories were really just rehashings. Nota bad show, but not great.

It was a cool show, but of all the Mtv animation, Daria still rules...

I saw a couple episodes, but didn't think much of it.

I do remember hearing about how the animation was done in-house, giving the producers more control but decreasing the quality. I think they were after the H-B look anyway.

My impression was that a short, or series of shorts, is better for this sort of thing myself.

One gripe was that is was too long. All the eisodes could've been half the lenght but they kept throwing in forced pop culture references and jokes.

Rocky's right; the animation was likely a dig at/homage to Hanna-Barbera. The blond spy even looked like an adult Jonny Quest. As for stretching an eight-minute sketch joke into a half-hour show...well, that wouldn't be the first time--look at ComCent's That's My Bush or Primetime Glick. Still, they could've been fair and given it (and Undergrads) a full 13 eps before pitching a hissy and nixing it when the ratings sagged a point or two.
My favorite bit involved a detector gizmo with a human female voice that, when you got close to the target...well, I'm not sure I can say what it did in mixed company, but it gave new meaning to the phrase, "You're getting hotter".

I didnt care too much for it. It was too, i dont know whats the right way to describe it, too trendy and tried too hard to be clever using played out material, like spy # 1 and #2, i dont know, it just seemed to get tired really fast. the one thing i did like about it, however, was how they had to figure out interesting ways to use the limited animation they had. that was cool.
