It's been 5 years since Esurance "retired" their animated "mascot", if ya will, sexy Erin Esurance, discontinuing the ad campaign because Erin was being used, without the company's permission, mind, for some, ah, mature artistic ventures.
The only regret is that Erin didn't wind up starring in her own TV show, but then, some might suggest she'd be a grown-up version of Disney's teen crime stopper, Kim Possible, save for the fact that Erin had pink hair, as opposed to Kim's auburn.
In this sample clip, Erin is playing hockey.........
In 2011, Esurance was acquired by Allstate. Now, all we need is to bring Erin to life and have her battle Mayhem (Dean Winters). That's got money all over it!

I really miss Erin! Although I think her earliest commercials were best. Having her battle "Mayhem" would be one for the ages!
I agree she seems like an adult version of Kim Possible, but Archer managed to find an audience (albeit a campy one) so why not her? They should have struck while the iron was hot!
I have to remember to do a review on Archer down the road.
Now that I think of it, a series based on Erin would probably require a name change if Esurance/Allstate doesn't license her. Nationwide is doing a series of live-action ads with a black jumpsuit clad hottie who doesn't talk, but moves the way Erin did. Hmmm.....
