Greg the Bunny (DVD, 2004, 2-Disc Set)

Greg the Bunny is one of my all time favorite TV shows. It pulls no punches with comedy. Very funny with quite a bit of sarcasm (my kind of show). Quite edgy with the comedy, and great pupeteering. Has an excellent short movie that they produced called "Tardy delivery". It takes you into the world of Tardy the Turtle for a day of trying to deliver a letter to Dan Milano. Greg the Bunny was a witty, satirical, comedy that Fox did not give a fair chance to. I was and still are a faithfull watcher, with high hopes of a revival in the biggest way. The Original Tardy and Susan puppets are still missing. Please inform the people at Fox if you know where they are. He's rude, crude, and stuffed with attitude! Tired of being treated like a lowly puppet--he prefers the term "Fabricated American"--Greg The Bunny persuades his human roommate Jimmy (Seth Green), to get him a job interview with the director (Eugene Levy) on the "Sweetknuckle Junction" TV show. But instead of interviewing for the office job, Greg inadvertently lands the show’s starring role! Although he's never acted a day in his life, an ecstatic Greg soon realizes, "This place is full of freaks. I'm gonna fit right in!" Includes two episodes that Fox didn't even air. Skatchamagowza!

I'd been looking at this on video store shelves for ages before renting it, and now I'm sorry I missed its original run on TV. Set in an alternate world where puppets are among the US minorities, Greg the Bunny and his roommate Jimmy (Seth Green) land jobs on a children's show with a dysfunctional cast. The show's own cast features Green, Sarah Silverman, and Eugene Levy, who are all hilarious in the human/puppet interaction.

This was an unexpected surprise. Greg the Bunny follows the adventures of Greg (who's a Bunny puppet) who gets a job as the star of a kid television show. Seth Green is Greg's roommate and works as a PA on the show. The basic concept of this series is that puppets have lives and personalities all their own.

The fact that this show was cancelled after just one season proves that it should have been aired on Comedy Central. It is witty and fast paced. The whole concept of puppets and Humans living in the same world with the same bias and conflicts that excist between people of different race, religion and gender made it a show with some possible depth. From Tardy the Turtle to Count Blah from Romainia, who by the way swears that the Count on Sesame Street stole his act and isn't a real Count at all because he comes from New Jersey and has Emergency Room issues with gerbels...'nuff said.
The dialog references range from street slang to PC labels. Greg the Bunny is alot like Ted Dansen from Cheers in that he maybe the lead charecter but the great supporting cast is what makes the whole thing work.
This is a must see for anyone with half of a funny bone.

THis is a great show that Fox unfourtunalty let go for one of there horrible reality shows. For someone who watch seasme street ot the muppets growing up you will find this show hillarious. It shows the otherside of the muppets as adults with problems and what not. It stars Seth Green (from Austin Powers and much more funny, Robot Chicken Fame) as a hand on the muppet show who rooms with the star a bunny named greg. Along with a lot of camios from famous actors and actress. A definate must for any one who loves of the beat comedys.
