Came and went before I got a chance to see it - What was it all about?
Basically, it was about a kid’s show on a local television station – except the ‘muppets’ were ‘real’ and were treated as regular ‘people’.
The part I remember is when the slacker dude gets to change things on the programme. He changes Count Blah’s name to Count A’ight.
I saw the one where Count Blah’s (human) ex-wife shows up. There was a scene where they were in bed together, post-coital. It was a lot more disturbing than funny, IMO.
To be clear, it was an adult show about a kid’s show.
It was a sitcom. The premise was : puppets are real (sort of like Toons, in Roger Rabbit). The action centered on Sweetknuckle Junction, a low-rated kids’ edu-tainment program in the Sesame Street vein. The titular Greg the Bunny was an eager little fellow and a fan of Sweetknuckle Junction who ended up getting a job on the show, as its new star. His roomate was Jimmy Bender, played by Seth Green.
It also happens to be the funniest thing on TV for the year it was out. I recommend, if you have Netflix, checking it out.
As a footnote, it wasn’t Blah’s human ex-wife - Blah got busy with WARREN’s human ex-wife.
My favorite character is Tardy Turtle. He’s a little slow.
Similar in concept to Peter Jackson’s Meet the Feebles.
