Series synopsis
Dan Vs. is an American animation comedy family television series that premiered on Hub Network on January 1, 2011. It ended on March 9, 2013. It was created by Chris Pearson, Dan Mandel. It stars Curtis Armstrong, Paget Brewster and Dave Foley.
Dan, a short (and short-tempered) man, has nothing better to do with his time than rail against what he perceives to be life's injustices – even if he's completely in the wrong. Whether it's a beef against a fast-food chain, an untalented barber, the entirety of Canada, the game of baseball or lemonade-selling children, petulant Dan is always spurred into action, usually dragging his best friend Chris and Chris' undercover operative wife, Elise, along on the revenge-filled ride.
