Cheers to Fox for even putting Greg the Bunny on the air, and jeers to Fox for yanking it after a mere season (an ignominious fate it shared with The Ben Stiller Show and Andy Richter Controls the Universe). Ripe for discovery, this cult-worthy 2002 series took its cue from Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and anticipated the subversive Tony Award-winning Muppet spoof Avenue Q by imagining a world in which puppets (or, to be more PC: "fabricated Americans") live amongst humans. Greg, a sweet-natured bunny, lives with his best friend Jimmy (Seth Green), a slacker whose father, Gil (the inestimable Eugene Levy), is the director of the "struggling," "low-rated" children's show Sweetknuckle Junction. Greg prevails upon Jimmy to get him a job on the show, but Greg inadvertently finds himself replacing the star. the washed-up Rochester Rabbit. Jimmy signs on as the production assistant to watch over Greg, and to pursue the icy network executive, Alison (comedy siren Sarah Silverman). Rounding out the human cast is gun nut Junction Jack (Bob Gunton) and ditzy, puppet-loving (and we mean that literally) Dottie (Dina Walters). 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
Description
Uncut, uncensored and unrelenting, Greg the Bunny stars Seth Green and Eugene Levy and is rude, crude, and stuffed with attitude. TV wasn't ready for him. Are you? The complete series on DVD includes two never aired episodes and much more. Puppets are people too!

Wonderfully well-produced November 10, 2008
Plenty's been said here about the excellent show here, but the DVD producers aren't getting enough credit. Greg the Bunny narrates his own DVD menus with a series of monologues that perfectly fit the mood of the series. Plenty of extras/deleted scenes. Plenty of director commentaries, including a commentary on the lengthy deleted scenes. The only downside is that the producers, writers, etc are all a touch more boring than some.
HILARIOUS!!! September 25, 2008
This is hilarious! I still don't understand why it only ran for one season. I hear rumors of a come back... I sure hope so!
hassle free July 7, 2008
While there is always a chance things can go wrong this transaction like the vast majority was as uneventful as it should have been.
hilarious, blah. June 26, 2008
One of the great one season wonders in tv history this show is as good the fifth time you watch the episodes as the first. The extras left me a little disappointed but the show is just so original and funny it doesn't matter. I got it for 12 bucks with free shipping so the price really cant get any better either.
Best Ever May 2, 2008
This show was the funniest thing I had seen in years and it was a crime that it was pulled.
