Watch it for the mentally challenged turtle

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.
