Anyone catch this show? I saw a review of the last episode in AV Club (not sure how I missed the [other 9 reviews](http://www.avclub.com/tvclub/tvshow/unsupervised,324/)) and since their rating was high [I checked out all the episodes](http://vod.fxnetworks.com/watch/unsupervised).

It’s pretty good…better than _Napoleon Dynamite_ which I checked out last week (and only made 6 episodes) . The kids are sort of like Beavis and Butthead in that they don’t have any adult supervision, are grimey and gross, in the remedial classes and obsessed with chicks. But in a twist they are very conscious of their surroundings and extremely compassionate with a lust for life.

They also have a weird accent which I think is either Pittsburgh or Philadelpha.

One of the kids is voiced by Justin Long - who is the “Mac” from “I’m a Mac/I’m a PC” ads. The other kid is voiced by creator/writer/producer David Hornsby who is “Rickety Cricket” from _…Always Sunny…_ and Patrick from _Six Feet Under_. Kristen Bell (_Gossip Girl_) and Romany Malco (Conrad from _Weeds_) are also regulars.

Kaitlin Olsen and Glenn Howerton from _…Always Sunny…_ have bit parts.

Hmmm I guess they must have Philadelphia accents 🙂

So, anyone watch it?

I caught a few episodes and liked it. I’m too old though and the one really weird kid (can’t remember the name) was too gross for my taste. “When I eat wire my poop comes out red!” took away the cuteness of homeless kids.
