not as good as all the hype

From my favorite movies..

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

I heard of Greg the Bunny long ago, but passed it up because I thought it was going to go far too far into sophomorism and just overdo it. But now that I watched it, the show is a nice, light, ADULT mix of humor. Sesame Street-- but a Sesame Street where after the cameras are off, the puppets grab a cigarette, take a leak, hit the snack table and think about getting some action. . .maybe, they hope.Seth and Levy are great, but as others have said, they are the sounding boards for the puppets. Greg is cute-- but Warren is a Scream. And the sitcom snaps hilarious because, let's face it, We Don't expect to hear those kinds of things fall out of a Puppet's mouth. The Innuendo is hysterical: Puppet dirty magazines, anyone?The amazing part of the whole series is that the producers and writers played everything on Just-This-Side-of-the-line from raw. The show never dives into obscenity. But the audience fills in the rest and laughs and laughs. A kid-- well maybe a very YOUNG kid (If you raised it right)-- would watch and scratch his head and wonder why his Mom and Dad are gasping and out of breath.No-- Not a hit every time. Not every episode. But hey, it's a sitcom- with puppets!! And it's actually kinda 'sweet'But not for small Kids-- (Not if you raised them right!)

Greg is one of 3.2 million fabricated-Americans living among us in the US. Greg is one of these but the only job that he can get is as the Easter Bunny once a year. He turns to his flatmate Jimmy Bender to ask his director father to get him an admin job behind the scenes on the children's television show Sweet Knuckle Junction. However the show itself is shedding one puppet to freshen things up and Greg happens to be in the right place at the right time, bringing Jimmy with him as his agent.It took so long for this show to reach the UK that it had been cancelled then brought back to the US screens but it was reasonably worth the wait for those of us that enjoy our sitcoms with a bit more subversive humour. The plot is silliness but it is really helped by lots of great character and sharp lines – it is certainly not for children but that is a good thing! The shows are pretty funny and I found myself laughing out loud regularly and was consistently amused when I wasn't laughing. It isn't rocket science and it isn't going to be to everyone's tastes but I enjoyed it and fans of Family Guy and other similar shows will probably enjoy it.The voice work is good but it is the writing of the characters that make it work. Warren the Ape is my favourite but Greg himself is of good value and well delivered by Milano. The retarded turtle is fun; Count Blah is OK but is a rather clumsy spoof of Sesame Street's Count. The human cast contained a surprising amount of stars. Levy and Green are both good, Silverman is sexy and funny as always and Gunton and Spybey are OK if not that well used.Overall then a funny show that was on for only a short time but was very funny when it was. Whether you find the concept funny or stupid should tell you whether or not you'll find it funny – for me the sharp lines and cool characters produced plenty of laughs and made for very enjoyable 20 minute episodes.

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.

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!
