Puppets Who Kill

Well, I had to make a comment on this excellent show given the few that are here. It's a dark comedy starring Dan, proprietor of a halfway house and the puppets, all of which have done unpleasant things. Acting is very good. Puppets are played straight up... hard smoking, hard drinking, hard talking stuffed animals. The writing is excellent, touching and trying typical social boundaries in the first part of each episode and then riding on the chaos that ensues... usually with a sexy temptress along the way. No punches are pulled, but that does not leave me with a feeling of being insulted. If anything, challenged, awestruck and crying with laughter. Like any good puppet show, the puppets get away with much more than any human would and there is much to learn and laugh at in the experience. They're still making them as of March 2005, airing on weekends on the Comedy Network (Canada). Highly recommended and a welcome alternative to the mostly toned down comedy on the other Canadian networks.

So totally unique and entertaining! Another great Canadian invention. A regular "Joe"(Dan) and a bunch of misfit delinquents (aka Puppets), all share residence at a half-way house. Its Dan's job to keep an eye on four 'menaces to society' and help them to rehabilitate. Bill, the homicidal dummy, Rocko the cigarette smoking dog, Buttons, the nympho teddy bear, and Cuddles the comfort doll. The five of them find themselves in all sorts of odd predicaments. Despite their homicidal, and often overtly perverse sexual tendencies, it's hard not to find them lovable.

I give this show a 10/10 simply because it provides good entertainment, without needing a huge budget, and exudes a Canadian flair that makes me proud.

This show just started airing on The Comedy Network in Canada... I caught it last night by chance, and it was definitely the funniest and weirdest half-hour of television I've ever seen!! It was great, definitely worth checking out if you have a dark/twisted/unusual sense of humour. If the idea of four homicidal puppets living in a halfway house with a clueless social worker isn't a big enough selling point for you, the puppets swearing, having sex, and removing people's testicles should entice you to tune in. Check it out, Fridays at 10 pm on Comedy - it'll be the most original and hilarious thing you'll see in ages. Although you'll never look at dolls and puppets the same way again... I always knew they were evil.

This show is not the laugh riot the other reviews claim it is but it's definitely worth watching. They try to hide the fact that it's in Canada, one episode even featured people with southern United States accents and no one has a Canadian accent. But every extremely short outside cut scene gives it away. If you can find it, watch it.

This is the best and most original show i have seen ever in my life. Dan the main character and actor is the best and perfect for the roll he is playing and the puppets are all real funny and believable as characters in this show. The stories are all good but some of the guests are not very good actors but that's okay because they have great plot lines that push boundaries and some good guests to like Eugene Levy from S.C.T.V. I love this show and can't wait to see new episodes, it should be on for ever!!!!!!

I give this show 9 out of 10 stars because it only loses 1 star for lower production values and budget and because of the guest show sometimes aren't that good.
