    Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

    I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

    This is the kind of show that US television really can't do. When someone does accidentally sneak in the side door with a brilliant effort like Greg the Bunny, it has to be neutered or killed. (Just like Firefly and many other shows that actually dare to push the boundaries.)Of COURSE Greg the Bunny was not allowed (or helped) to find its audience. I only caught it by total fluke, without knowing what kind of show it was. What I discovered was one of the most innovative, cynical, depraved and utterly hilarious series of all time. (If you don't get it, don't hurt yourself trying. Just flip over to those reruns of Friends, and let your brain turn to porridge.)In the UK, things are very different. Off-the-wall shows like Black Books, Still Game or 15 Storeys High are lovingly incubated and cherished for generations. Sometimes, as with Monty Python, they achieve worldwide acclaim. That's the reward for taking chances.My advice: seek out the excellent DVD collection of Greg the Bunny and take a chance. Then ask yourself why all TV comedy can't be this clever.

    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.

    Fox canceled this thing too early... I'm hoping that the the DVD is market research like the Family Guy DVD, and they bring it back! This comedy was too smart for the American Public. If you've seen Mr. Roger's Neighborhood and Sesame Street, you would understand the comedy and humor in living animated puppets (fabricated Americans!). One of the best shows on TV! The Alcoholic Fozzy-bear character, the count that keeps dropping his pants, the hottie dumb blonde and the conductor that's sarcastic! So many characters are what we wish were on Barney and Sesame Street. This show captures the true essence of children's shows!
