Often clever, at least in the early going.

This spoof of the superhero / superspy genres (Stripperella is both) brings in and sends up every imaginable cliché while carving out it's own territory of silliness, thanks to a consistently clever and funny approach to the material. Her villains are a lame, cheap, twisted and above all hilarious rogues gallery right out of Dick Tracy. Her superspy gadgets are amazingly stupid and often work amazingly well in unintended fashion. And her supporting cast in her double life as a stripper / crime-fighter all have great running character gags. Fellow stripper Persephone has a different foreign accent each week (Russian, Scottish, French); Special Agent 13 is so 'special' he could have his own telethon; the Chief has less sense of irony than Leslie Nielsen etc. etc.

Unfortunately, a lot of this inventiveness is played out on the first disk and the second disk shows some evidence of recycling. Even still, it's pretty entertaining. Recommended, especially to fans of Spike TV, where the show originated.
