Trivia
The Menippus of the series is based on an actual historical figure, Menippus of Gadara. He was a Syrian freedman (freed slave) who became a Cynic philosopher and satirist. He is credited with creating the genre of Menippean satire, which satirized mental attitudes and traditional religious beliefs. Menippus' works are lost, but part of his style survives in the works of his imitators Marcus Terentius Varro and Lucian of Samosata.

Greek Family Guy try, I wish it had gone better.

Ouk an lavois para tou mi ehontos was a Greek animated series focused to make fun of the world we live in and our habits as well. Basically was our equivalent to Family Guy and South Park and unfortunately after only 14 episodes the hit show was stopped due to its contents and to be honest as usual the Greek stars and politicians lack the spine to endure some rightful criticism. So here is the first question was it good? Answer, Yes man totally awesome!

The story follows Haros, Ermis who try to get money from their last person in debt Menippos in order to kill him and send him to the world of the dead and finally go to the retirement, but Menippos is a lazy philosopher and frequently our trio face trouble with the must get out! The reference in both the political atmosphere in Greece at the time and the hilarious spoof against twilight ,television programs and even the religion was expertly written!

If this series had continue for two or three more years then it would have become a staple to Greece every day life since six year after its cancellation things haven't changed much. So is largely forgotten by the public due to its early end and its fun are few and far in between.

To conclude go watch it, because it is a true cult series for the millenniums!
