Naruto" not exactly a household name in your household? Have you checked with your teen-age sons? When you ask, be prepared to see the look that says, "Do we even live on the same planet? "˜Naruto.' Monumental Manga. Duh." "Naruto" has exceptionally strong teen-boy appeal, partly because it exemplifies all the best attributes of manga and anime, and partly because it shows Everyboy's struggle to earn respect from his family and community. Adolescent ninja Naruto Uzumaki has tried to prove himself worthy of the title "Holage," strongest and bravest of all ninjas, in more than fifty print volumes and 220 episodes on satellite network Animax. In Japan, "Naruto" in manga form has sold more than 100 million copies. In the United States, "Naruto" Volume Eleven won the 2006 "Quill Award." Critics and teen boys consistently praise "Naruto's" fine balance of comedy and battle scenes. If you have fallen woefully behind on your viewing of "Narutu: Shippuden," the definitive "Naruto" anthology, you will find comfort in the fact that Viz released it on DVD in September, 2009, and Disney XD continues regularly airing old episodes.

Drawn in retro-sixties comic book style, rendered irreverent and ironic by exceptionally good writing from "Simpsons" renegade Devin Clark, "Ugly Americans" TV show made its debut on Comedy Central during March, 2010. Matt Oberg lends his vocal stylings to the main character, Mark Lilly, harried social worker at the "Department of Integration," the all-purpose welfare agency for the citizens of a parallel-universe New York liberally populated with demons, zombies, wizards, monsters, and other chimerical creatures. Up-and-coming comedienne Natasha Leggero, one of Chelsea Handler's coterie, gives voice and life to Callie Maggotbone, Mark's immediate supervisor and sometimes lover. Callie claims distinction as the succubus daughter of the Devil and a human mother; not surprisingly, she is prone to extreme mood swings. Newcomer to the big-bad city, Mark, an intrepid optimist and wanna-be do-gooder, remains barbarously untutored in the ways of his city's multi-species immigrants, and his mistakes naturally multiply into comic misadventures. Hardly Saturday-morning kiddie fare, "Ugly Americans" deals as directly and explicitly with characters' bizarre sexual proclivities as with their sociopathy.
