Greg the Bunny on IFC

I am really trying cut down on the amount of TV I watch, but when you have some more interesting channels filled with informational shows like Mythbusters and truly humorous ones like Cheap Seats, it’s hard. However, now and then, I see something that is really worth writing about so I created a Diversions category. It will be more than TV shows in the future. Probably everything else not listed on the right side that slows down my reading and posting.

For my inaugural entry on the “waste of time” or being unproductive section, I want to recommend and praise IFC’s Greg the Bunny. No, it’s not reruns of the short-lived Fox sitcom (now available on 2 DVDs for $20). It’s the funny puppets Greg, Warren and Count Blah with new friends doing 10-minute parodies of well-known movies. Now that they’re on IFC, they use the foul language Triumph the Insult Comic Dog can’t use on Comedy Central.

It’s pretty low-brow stuff. On par with TV Funhouse (another great show canceled too soon) but it caters to film buffs. So far my favorite parody was 2001: A Space Odyssey with Greg and Warren as Poole and Bowman.
