Dan Vs. is an American Flash animated television series created by Dan
Mandel and Chris Pearson. The series spanned three seasons, airing on
The Hub from January 1, 2011, to March 9, 2013. 53 episodes were
produced.The show is about Dan, a jobless misanthrope with a soft spot
for animals, caught in odd misfortunes and unable to provide income
for himself. Accompanying him is his better-off friend Chris, a big
softy, who lives in a comfortable home and has a steady income (he
even reluctantly pays for the little or big expenses that Dan needs).
His dull day-job and stressful work causes him to be unable to resist
going along with Dan's wild plots to get even, despite how ridiculous
they may seem. Even when Dan gets on his last nerve, he can't abandon
him, "knowing there is something worth saving in him". Both their
friendship, stemming from a bad experience at summer camp, through
High School these two, along with Elise, go after the things that make
society even more unbearable than it already is. The third regular
character is Elise, Chris's wife, who objects to Chris's participation
in Dan's revenge quests, but, on occasion joins in due to some of
Dan's plots sharing similarities with her childhood annoyances or her
secret operative work for the government. Elise's character enables
advanced help with some of Dan's revenge missions due to her skills
and most of her missions act as a subplot in the show. The show is set
primarily in the Los Angeles area, and background scenes often show
notable landmarks in and around Los Angeles.Curtis Armstrong was
chosen to voice the part of Dan from early production, as were Dave
Foley and Paget Brewster who voice Chris and Elise, respectively.The

titular role "The Boss". John DiMaggio plays the voice of a police
officer in three episodes, and a security guard in "baseball". Jenna
Fischer voices Amber in "Anger Management". Judy Greer does the part
