Greg the Bunny

As I write this, "Greg the Bunny" is a prime candidate for cancellation. What a shame! This is a funny, original show, and I think it would build an audience if Fox gave it a chance.

The characters -- humans and puppets -- are a scream, the concept (that puppets are living, breathing individuals) is totally new, and the humor is both sophisticated and crude. What's not to like?

Fox pulled "Greg" for May sweeps, replacing it with "Bernie Mac" reruns. That can't be a good sign.

Fox canceled this thing too early... I'm hoping that the the DVD is market research like the Family Guy DVD, and they bring it back! This comedy was too smart for the American Public. If you've seen Mr. Roger's Neighborhood and Sesame Street, you would understand the comedy and humor in living animated puppets (fabricated Americans!). One of the best shows on TV! The Alcoholic Fozzy-bear character, the count that keeps dropping his pants, the hottie dumb blonde and the conductor that's sarcastic! So many characters are what we wish were on Barney and Sesame Street. This show captures the true essence of children's shows!

I loved this show! The funniest characters were the puppets (fabricated Americans) who interacted on the same level as the humans, were just as vain and ridiculous as any other celebrity. They all graduated from Harvard (as they sing in the opening credits) and have started this kids' show.

The humans weren't all that as characters, but the writing was great. In one episode, Greg the Bunny is competing with Jimmy (Seth Green) for the attentions of Laura, a lovely female reporter. Greg imperiously tells Jimmy (as Laura only has eyes for the star of the show), "A vanilla cappuccino. Make that happen!" To which Jimmy bitterly says "Yeah, I could make a lot of things happen to your vanilla cappuccino."

Another favorite line is when someone accuses Count Blah of being a rip-off of Sesame Street's "the Count". "HE is the fake! His accent is fake! I am from Transylvania -- HE is from New Jersey!"

Or when one character laments "This party isn't going to be like that time you all came to my house and cleaned out my liquor cabinet!" and another one says "THAT was an intervention!"

Yeah, boozing puppets -- gotta love it!

Excellent concept, with great writing, a really funny cast, and lines that you just don't expect to come from puppets. This has the potential to be as funny as "That 70's Show" and "Malcolm in the Middle". As long as the scripts are allowed to stay quirky, this show and "Andy Richter" will last.

Definately not one to miss! I love Seth Green, and he's great in this. I was laughing within the first minute of what I saw, and Greg's snowball song was great.

This is one to keep, Fox.
