''Grimsburg'' is an American AnimatedSitcom created by Catlan McClelland & Matthew Schlissel. It follows Det. Marvin Flute (played by Creator/JonHamm), who may be the greatest detective ever to catch a cannibal clown and correctly identify a mid-century modern armoire. But there's one mystery he still can't crack - himself. To do that he must return to Grimsburg and redeem himself in the eyes of his fellow detectives, his ferocious ex-wife and his lovably unstable son.
