It doesn’t mean much to say that Stan Lee’s Stripperella exceeded my expectations, particularly since my expectations had been largely set by Gary the Rat. However, Stripperella is clear not the sort of cheap production that Gary is. There is more than one respectable name attached, ranging from the octogeneric Stan The Man to the more youthfully named Kid Rock, who provides the theme song. The animation and writing are of respectable commercial quality.
This is a show that delivers largely what you expect, and does a respectable job of it. If a mix of busty animated babes and Pinky-and-the-Brain-flavored superhero satire sounds like a good idea to you, then you’ll probably like this show. If it doesn’t sound like a good idea, then you probably won’t. It’s a show that clearly makes sense on Spike-not-Lee-TV.
