Spoofing both the worlds of reality TV and of animation, "Drawn Together" is best described as the smutty offspring of "Real World" and "Superfriends."

Superheroes and cartoonish icons are cast members whose personalities mix and clash just as they do on any episode of "Big Brother" — except these "contestants" take it to extremes in scenarios that children should not witness. In the first episode alone, animated princess Clara made out with Foxxy Love in a hot tub, then burst into a romantic number about kissing.

"One thing we never want is for people to be nonplussed or have no reaction," says Dave Jeser, co-creator of the show with Matt Silverstein. "We're promoting this as a raunchy animated show for adults, and we're hoping it will at least be that," Silverstein says.

Jeser, 31, and Silverstein, 32, have worked together since first meeting in high school in Englwood, N.J. Their resumés include "The Man Show," "Andy Richter Controls the Universe" and "Crank Yankers." Could they be the next Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators of "South Park"?

"For Matt and Trey, it comes easy," Jeser says. "We're just not as talented as those guys. We have to work on it really hard. We spend every waking hour on the show. We have a pretty big staff of talented writers."

Adds Silverstein: "We're like the 'Rudy' (underdog football movie) of comedy: We have a lot of heart."

But the show isn't so much about heart as it is about humor that pushes the taste limits in goofing on reality TV. And even though the show is airing on cable, Jeser and Silverstein say that Comedy Central has put episode 7 (out of 8 ordered) under special scrutiny.

What could be more questionable than the various sexual, violent and distasteful acts already covered in the first half hour?

"It's an episode that deals with a superhero that has a handicap. It's bad timing," Jeser says.

In addition, the two say Comedy Central execs have suggested two other changes: that Spanky's exposed body part be blurred in an upcoming episode and that a different term be used for a character's rear end.
