Shorts Review: The Fuzz ‘ Gangs of Puppet Town / Welcome to Puppet Town [Ep. 1]’
Spoilers Below
Another new Yahoo! Series: The Fuzz, is about cops and puppets – two things that endlessly frighten me. Nevertheless, I was assigned to this show in a cruel ruse organized by some sadistic editor. [Ed.’s Note:’ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ‘]
So far so good. With the show, that is, not my rapidly evaporating sanity. It stars Herbie, a puppet cop with a wife and a bun in the oven, tackling the Jellybean drug problem in the creatively named Puppet-town.
The show melds comedy and action sequences, and will apparently become a buddy comedy in the later episodes. And in case you’re an anti-puppite, there are human characters too.
Nothing to shake a stick at so far, but the premise is promising, the production value is high, and the puppets are adorable – with just a bit of PG-13 raunchiness added to the mix. I think I spotted Dot Com from 30 Rock (Kevin Brown) too. So that’s cool, I guess.
It’s enough to get another viewing, so check back next week to see what’s what with the next episode.

Do we know if Hulu will be the only entity to have the dub, or if it will be on other platforms, too? The show in general is definitely going to be on multiple platforms.
