About Colorful

1999, TV short, 16 eps, 51%, Triangle Staff

Two horny college slackers and a beautiful professor. A frustrated TV reporter. A sexy track star and her tempted coach. And a high school girlzilla that’s the size of the Empire State building. From hotties on subways and perverted cabbies, to panty-obsessed video geeks, sexy mall babes, and the furry phenomenon, Colorful is a strange, deranged, racy and hilarious dose of animated Viagra!
