The Emperor's New School, Disney Channel

So this show is like based on the movie "The Emperor's New Groove," which I haven't seen yet, but I'd like to. Still, I wasn't really expecting much from the series. But actually I rather like it. There's this teenager named Kuzco, who's supposed to become emperor. But first he has to graduate (from a school that's named after him). He's got a couple friends: Malina (who we kinda like), and Kronk, who actually works for a woman named Yzma, who always comes up with weird schemes to prevent Kuzco from becoming emperor, so that she can become empress. I'm not real clear on how that works, but whatever. Yzma also secretly poses as Amzy, principal of Kuzco Academy, though the only one who seems not to know this is Kronk, who's surprised every time Amzy reveals to him that she's really Yzma. There's also a teacher named Mr. Moleguaco, who is constantly frustrated by the way Kuzco acts.
Anyway, the show's pretty funny. Kuzco's not all that smart really, though Kronk's probably less smart. And um, Kuzco's very spoiled and self-centered and lazy. Though ultimately he occasionally does good things, I guess. And he stops the show sometimes to do things like "Kuzco's doodles" and stuff. He's also always calling Malina a "hottie hot hottie." (He'd totally like to date her, but she basically thinks of him as a friend. An often exasperating friend, who she's always trying to get to do the right thing in any situation, which tends not to come naturally to Kuzco.) Um... I dunno, I should explain all this better, but it's kind of weird. And cool. And funny. It's got tons of running gags, anachronisms, puns, fourth wall-breaking... it's all just ridiculous, but clever and fun.
