Greg the Bunny

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!

I never get attached to shows. I hate sitcoms, and the few shows I like always get canned. I made the mistake of getting attached to this.

When I saw the first episode, I couldn't believe anything that good was on TV. It was actually funny! Yet I knew it wouldn't last. I could see that the mainstream just wasn't ready for Greg the Bunny. After all, how would one prepare for a show full of crazy puppets? The characters are amazing. Eugene Levy, Seth Green, and Sarah Silverman are all very funny. However, the puppets make the show. Count Blah is obviously a take off of the count on Sesame Street. The retarded turtle who graduated from Harvard (he got head of his class), the alcoholic thespian monkey, the washed-up Rochester Rabbit, and several others that I can't think of right now are all hilarious. Junction Jack is certifiable but hilarious. Each episode has a few things that make you laugh out loud. Tardy the Turtle has a non-sequitir one-liner every episode, such as "Nobody's supposed to touch me where my bathing suit covers." The episodes I liked best were the one with the constipated Snuggles bear who screams "somebody kill me!" while on the john and the one where Junction Jack castrates Jimmy's (Seth Green) girlfriend's dog and the episode where Greg gets really involved in "puppet's rights." The DVD has a ton of outtakes and special features and is definitely worth it since this show got canned two years ago.

I had the chance to catch the premiere episode of "Greg The Bunny" as of last night on FOX. Not since the days of earlier puppet shows has this one been funnier. It was a send-up of Jim Henson's Muppets mixed in with several characters that had striking resemblances...for instance,Greg the Bunny looks more the 'bunny rabbit' from Bob Keeshan's Captain Kangaroo;a count by the name of Count Blah resembles the count from Sesame Street,which looks striking different,but Blah is not from Sesame Street mind you......let me give you a synopsis of the show..it begins with a ordinary adventures of fast talking,smart(and sometimes potty mouth)Bunny who gets hired to do a children's television show and is run by the director(played by SCTV's Eugene Levy)who insisted that he is the next biggest thing to come since Kermit the Frog,but he is not Kermit mind you(Kermit is for kids,Greg is not--BE WARNED)and he is always on constant watch by his manager in charge.

However,the show is down right hilarious,especially with the puppets and all,but it passes the book with flying colors,but let me remind you---since this show came on Wednesday nights that this is not a children's show and if you have little ones who are wondering what that bunny is doing while they're up and about---please send the little ones to bed--IMMEDIATELY---this is an adult show....but if you have pre-teens and all,it's okay,because its made for teens and adults in mind but in terms it is funny. A Must See.

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.

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.
