A show I saw in my high school years, Greg The Bunny was another Fox show that was made in a time when the network was experimenting with new ideas for TV shows, only to cancel them in one season (sometimes while the season is in progress). A comedy using puppets, the show is about Greg, a bunny living in America, where puppets, or Fabricated Americans, who lives with his friend, Jimmy, played by Seth Green. Needing a job, he goes to apply for an assistant jon at Sweetknuckle Junction, a show directed by Jimmy's father, Gil (played by Eugene Levy), but becomes the replacement for Rochester Rabbit, with Jimmy becoming his father's assistant to keep him on when it's learned Greg has no acting experience. Greg and his fellow castmates get into wacky antics.
The puppets are awesome in this. From the amazing Count Blah to Warren The Ape, the puppets prove they are not for kids (especially when the commercials previewing it shows the stuff, especially that one that parodies the This Is Your Brain On Drugs PSA). The human cast is also good, with the likes of Jack, the host of Sweetknuckle Junction who has a dark side when not in character, to Alison, the network executive who used to work for PBS, the cast is amazing and the actors all do a good job with the episode and the stories they are given (one episode, Sock Like Me, is about prejudice, as Greg writes on the bathroom calling himself a sock, which in universe, is a racist slur towards puppets, and another, Greg Goes Puppish, has Greg join a puppet rights movement).
Sadly, this show only lasted thirteen episodes (eleven which aired on television). During the show's run, Fox could not make up its mind on the direction the show is going, and sometime through, ordered the show to be toned down in some areas, and even focus more on the humans (which is a dumb move considering the title character is a puppet). But this is a good example of how to do adult humor right, as while it does have some tasteless stuff, they make sure to use it sparingly to keep it from getting stale (plus some episodes take jabs at Sesame Street).
