Trivia:

Vicki Lewis's distinct, gaspy voice for Posey was kind of an accident. The day of her audition, she had been to the dentist and her voice was still affected. Apparently the producers liked her voice in that state they wanted her to keep it for Posey.

Funny, undiscovered show

I happened to catch this show on adult swim on cartoon network the other night. I must say I thought it was pretty funny. I look forward to seeing the next episode. The characters are quite enjoyable and I can relate to the guy with the nerdy little brother.
