Storyline

Greg the Bunny is one of the 3.2 million fabricated Americans ("puppets") living in the United States.

While Greg thinks he's going in for a backstage office job, he inadvertently bluffs his way into becoming a cast member.

User Reviews

Down right hilarious......

I had the chance to catch the premiere episode of "Greg The Bunny" as of last night on FOX. Not since the days of earlier puppet shows has this one been funnier. It was a send-up of Jim Henson's Muppets mixed in with several characters that had striking resemblances...for instance,Greg the Bunny looks more the 'bunny rabbit' from Bob Keeshan's Captain Kangaroo;a count by the name of Count Blah resembles the count from Sesame Street,which looks striking different,but Blah is not from Sesame Street mind you......let me give you a synopsis of the show..it begins with a ordinary adventures of fast talking,smart(and sometimes potty mouth)Bunny who gets hired to do a children's television show and is run by the director(played by SCTV's Eugene Levy)who insisted that he is the next biggest thing to come since Kermit the Frog,but he is not Kermit mind you(Kermit is for kids,Greg is not--BE WARNED)and he is always on constant watch by his manager in charge.

However,the show is down right hilarious,especially with the puppets and all,but it passes the book with flying colors,but let me remind you---since this show came on Wednesday nights that this is not a children's show and if you have little ones who are wondering what that bunny is doing while they're up and about---please send the little ones to bed--IMMEDIATELY---this is an adult show....but if you have pre-teens and all,it's okay,because its made for teens and adults in mind but in terms it is funny. A Must See.
