Just saw the premiere and enjoyed it very much. I was wary when I saw the designs, thinking it would go more Family Guy but the two cutaways of Mad Max and kissing the badger worked.

The soundtrack and everything still fit. I can tell its a new Emma but it still sounds close enough to the original.
How many episodes are there going to be? Are Brent and Lacey still together following the movie? Little questions.
I miss these guys, but the Lacey and Karen animation are not very true to life, the rest are great.
