Netflix Pick of the Week: Greg the Bunny (2 Disc)
If the names: Seth Green, Sarah Silverman, and Eugene Levy bring, even a small smile to your face, and you don’t own the complete series of Greg the Bunny, and for some reason don’t trust me enough to do to amazon and buy it used for $10.99, just give it a chance. The premise: Like Muppets, the puppets in the “Greg the Bunny World” are another type of intelligent being, they’re a minority, known (in the PC way) as ‘Fabricated Americans” and also by the racist “S” word (sock, shh!). They have jobs, go to school, do everything people do. Seth Green is a slacker (big stretch, I’m sure) who ends up working as a Production Assistant (aka gopher) at the children’s tv show his dad (Eugene Levy) directs. Greg and Jimmy are genuine friends, and it’s absolutely hilarious. Up there with Arrested Development and Firefly in the “Why the hell was this canceled?” category. Rabbit Redux is one sad, sad episode, considering it’s all about a Fabricated American. I’m thinking sad like “The Message” episode of Firefly. So check it out, (here at blockbuster.com)I promise if you have any sort of sense of humor, you will like it.
