A comedy show ahead of its time.

The late George Carlin stated, "There is a fine line in comedy, and it is up to us to cross it."

In 1994, Showtime aired a late night comedy block that gave them an edge. The show was ahead of its time that was off-beat, zany, weird and dark. A lot of the comedy wouldn't pass todays standards. Hosted by Bob Headley (Blahblahblah) and a caravan of various characters including Shorty, Lucky The Dog, Captain McShane, and others. This show is not for the "Feeble-minded."

To the creators, producers, and more, even if there are a small number of shows, please bring it back in some form for all to view, laugh and enjoy again.

Trivia
The original title of the series was Cheesy Puppet Theatre, because the idea was to do a low rent SNL with puppets - but after everyone put so much hard work into the series it was no longer as cheesy as we imagined it would be, and it ended up being retitled Twisted Puppet Theatre because it was so dark and off the wall.
