Greg the Bunny

Greg the Bunny is an old fashioned ensemble cast TV series that tickles the funny bone. Everyone who watches the series will immediately have a favorite character (mine is the delightfully slow turtle, Tardy). The show had (I use the past tense since this show was never given a shot to find an audience before FOX pulled the plug on it.) an interesting mix of likable (Greg, Jimmy and of course Tardy), misunderstood (Gil and Alison) and just downright strange (Count Blah and most of the fabricated Americans--puppets.) There are a few other human characters who get their time in the stoplight as well. What FOX screwed up was the irreverent nature of the show. Seeing shows like 'Arrested Development' and 'Malcolm in the Middle' on FOX that are boarder line tasteless at times, makes me wonder why they'd try to tone down a show like 'Greg the Bunny'. But they did. The first half of the series is great, then there is a steady decline as the show got whitewashed and sanitized. A wonderful highlight of the DVD set are the commentaries by the creators. At one time it was a passion but then they caved to other peoples whims and the show sank. The Tardy the Turtle mini movie, if you enjoy Tardy is great as well. I highly recommend this show to anybody who enjoys The Simpsons and most other FOX adult cartoons.

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.

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.

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.

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.
