Product Details

The puppet ensemble is no less impressive than the "fleshies." There's Count Blah, a vampire with a Sesame Street complex and a penchant for punctuating his sentences with "blah"; Warren "Professor Ape" Demontague, a soused monkey with thespian pretensions (and an ongoing feud with neighbor Corey Feldman); Tardy Turtle, an appellation which, unfortunately, does not just refer to his lack of speed, and Susan, a monster who makes Janet Reno look like Salma Hayek. Profanity and crude behavior emanating from puppets is certainly good for some easy laughs (prepare for the worst when adorable laundry icon Snuggles enters a bathroom stall in the episode "Father & Son Reunion"). But Greg the Bunny plays it smart as well, with sly in-jokes and movie references (catch the King Kong homage when an enraged Demontague jumps on Gil's shoulders in "Blah Bawls"). The show only got better and funnier as its lone season unfolded, making its cancellation that much more keenly felt. A Family Guy-type resurrection seems unlikely, but what about a Count Blah spinoff? Until then, this features-stuffed two-disc set, complete with clips from Greg's humble public-access beginnings, cast and in-character commentaries, behind-the-scenes segments, and a new Tardy featurette, will really sock it to you. --Donald Liebenson

Haven't seen it since the original broadcast days and was good to see it again. Great DVD set with lots of extras and the never broadcast episiodes.Watching Count Blah and the supremely talented Warren DeMontague made the purchase well worth it. The set starts a little slow, but after a while you forget half the cast are "fabricated Americans" and you just go with it. After watching you may find yourself asking, "Can a chocolate cake do this?"

This was an amazing show. I think Greg is still on TV somewhere though. The the independant film channel or something...Anyway, I love dthis show...but this seems a little expensive. $35 canadian for 13 episodes? thats almost as much as any other box set that actaully had a full season...and hour long episodes! It is almost worth the price...but maybe if no one buys it it will go on sale eventaully :p

This review is from: Greg the Bunny (DVD)
Even if you have never seen the show before, if you like irreverent puppets with style, this show is for you. These guys really put alot of work into the DVD. Every episode has cast commentary and you can really tell they loved creating tjis show. Its too bad Fox cancelled it and never gave it a chance, which is surprising considering the promos contained on the DVD has fox touting reviews from Time Magazine, Rolling Stone and the Chicago Sun-Times.13 episodes (2 never released), along with a host of special features. The show really was funny and this DVD clearly shows why. A must buy.
