''Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule'' is a spin-off of ''Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!'' starring John C. Reilly as Dr. Steve Brule. The series premiered on Cartoon Network's late night programming block, Adult Swim, on May 16, 2010. The program follows Brule as he examines different facets of living. His severe naivete and social awkwardness generally lands him in embarrassing situations, though he largely remains ignorant. As the series progresses, however, he reveals shocking, and sometimes horrifying details about his past and personal life. The series has completed three seasons of six episodes each. In the series Reilly interviews real people, whose reactions are genuine according to executive producer Tim Heidecker. He states that he intends for the humor to derive from Brule's character rather than the reactions of his guests. In post-production, the video is piped through a VCR to simulate poor production value. Critical reception has been positive, with several reviewers highlighting the character of Brule while noting the aesthetic qualities as similar to other productions. ''The A.V. Club'' Brandon Nowalk compared it to ''The Day Today'' and ''Brass Eye'', while DVD Verdict Dawn Hunt compared it to ''This Is Spinal Tap''. The first two seasons were combined onto a single DVD release, made available on October 16, 2012 in Region 1. ==Synopsis== The program follows Brule as he examines (or "checks out") different facets of living. His severe naivety and social awkwardness generally lands him in embarrassing situations, though he largely remains ignorant. Each episode begins with a poem or lyric pertaining to the subject of the show. Dr. Steve Brule credits the work, usually mispronouncing the author's name; his mispronunciations are a staple of the show (in one episode, he mispronounced the name of nutritionist Dr. Johnny Boden both as "Dr. Jimmy Brungus" and "Dr. Jungy Brogan"). As the series progresses, he reveals shocking, and sometimes horrifying details about his past and personal life, such as his mother revealing that she would poison his food when he was a child to "slow him down." The series also has recurring characters by the names of Terry Bruge-Hiplo, Doug Prishpreed, Carol Krabit and Scott Clam,〔http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3253015/〕 played by Robert Axelrod, Doug Foster, Carol Kraft, and Scott Stewart respectively. Terry, Doug, Carol and Scott all have interlude spots on the show announcing movie reviews, news updates, or fortunes, all in the same style of low-budget cable access segments. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
