Wonder Showzen is awesome

This show is airing fridays on MTV2 (advertised as 9:30pm), and I must say that tonights episode made up for the slowness of last week's to the extent that I think I'm addicted. It's so wonderfully twisted and bizzare that I demand more of it. The only bad parts are the "Kids on the Beat: Beat Kids!" news segments (the kid just isn't funny at all) and the exorbitant length of some segments. If you have MTV2 I highly recommend taking a look at this.

I take it no one has heard of this show?

It's presented in a Sesame-Street style format, using real children, hand puppets, muppets, animation, and random footage from various sources (instructional videos and stock footage mostly). The jokes are hit (which are really funny) or miss (which drag forever), and they generally play to the audience that would watch South Park (the early episodes and the newer, strangely enough). Again, if you have MTV2 I suggest watching an episode of this, especially episode two. It's rerun a lot on Friday and Saturday.

I saw a bit of last week's episode, and I wasn't thrilled with it. The puppet jokes fell flat.

I did like the Dog-OBGYN sketch or whatever though.

I like the bumpers or "Sharts" that MTV2 airs after videos more. Some of them are quite good.

A much better puppet show was "TV Funhouse" on Comedy Central.

I agree with you about their show bumpers. I thought the guys revving thier minibikes at the bikers was genious.
