Simply A Masterpiece
Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
View MoreIt really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
View MoreSo totally unique and entertaining! Another great Canadian invention. A regular "Joe"(Dan) and a bunch of misfit delinquents (aka Puppets), all share residence at a half-way house. Its Dan's job to keep an eye on four 'menaces to society' and help them to rehabilitate. Bill, the homicidal dummy, Rocko the cigarette smoking dog, Buttons, the nympho teddy bear, and Cuddles the comfort doll. The five of them find themselves in all sorts of odd predicaments. Despite their homicidal, and often overtly perverse sexual tendencies, it's hard not to find them lovable.I give this show a 10/10 simply because it provides good entertainment, without needing a huge budget, and exudes a Canadian flair that makes me proud.
View MoreWell, I had to make a comment on this excellent show given the few that are here. It's a dark comedy starring Dan, proprietor of a halfway house and the puppets, all of which have done unpleasant things. Acting is very good. Puppets are played straight up... hard smoking, hard drinking, hard talking stuffed animals. The writing is excellent, touching and trying typical social boundaries in the first part of each episode and then riding on the chaos that ensues... usually with a sexy temptress along the way. No punches are pulled, but that does not leave me with a feeling of being insulted. If anything, challenged, awestruck and crying with laughter. Like any good puppet show, the puppets get away with much more than any human would and there is much to learn and laugh at in the experience. They're still making them as of March 2005, airing on weekends on the Comedy Network (Canada). Highly recommended and a welcome alternative to the mostly toned down comedy on the other Canadian networks.
View MoreThis is the best and most original show i have seen ever in my life. Dan the main character and actor is the best and perfect for the roll he is playing and the puppets are all real funny and believable as characters in this show. The stories are all good but some of the guests are not very good actors but that's okay because they have great plot lines that push boundaries and some good guests to like Eugene Levy from S.C.T.V. I love this show and can't wait to see new episodes, it should be on for ever!!!!!!I give this show 9 out of 10 stars because it only loses 1 star for lower production values and budget and because of the guest show sometimes aren't that good.
View MoreFour puppets with severe behavioural problems are under the guidance of a social worker in a halfway house but wreak havoc on their leader, their neighbour, and the community and cause trouble within the group home. The 13 episode show is in its first season and airing on The Comedy Network. Hilarious half hour comedy complete with bloopers and behind-the-scenes footage during the credits roll. Though this series has been compared to the US cancelled series "Greg The Bunny", Puppets Who Kill airs exclusively on Canadian TV and not likely to appear in future syndication. Want to see what these little monsters can do to the staff at the CBC? Tune into the episode "Dan's Umbrella". But there's lots more. Hopefully they'll return for a second season.
