Anyone here seen the show? New season starts on the 27th. It's pretty funny in my opinion, if a bit childish at times.

It has several AH parts about it, it appears to take place in present day (cell phones, LCD screens) but everyone dresses like it's the sixties and the computers are very clearly eighties. Not to mention the existence of the Soviet Union.

I think it is pretty funny. I like the Cold War vibe and also it hits on a lot of tropes in solid fashion.

It's from the same folks that did Sealab 2021 and Frisky Dingo, which I loved. I get a big kick out of the show: it's the first one they've done that they get to go a full half-hour on.

I do enjoy its rather nice send up of all the old spy sterotypes.
