Da Terra para o Ned

So I immediately go to episode 7 upon to find my favorite guest Raven-Symoné from "Thats so Raven". This show really is captivating with its funny and quirky dialogues. I do find the show more for adults than for kids or even at least teenagers. Which I find that good! After Raven there was another guest which I don't know but was mention from Reno 911 and American Dad.

Even if you don't know the guest you will still find it entertaining!

Surprisingly enough, this is a oddly entertaining experience. It both satirizes late night while also keeping the audience engaged. It's fun but could possibly scare younger viewers. The gritty puppet designs could spook the youngins.

I love seeing what the Henson Company puts out there and this show has really great puppet design, the mouth on Ned is particularly impressive how it forms words so seamlessly and you can soon forget he's a puppet. But I was really surprised how funny the writing is. The interviews have an improv feel to them. It has the great kind of Muppets humor that delights kids but is also ironic and complex enough to crack up adults. Ned himself had a Martin Short as Jiminy Glick kind of vibe I find hilarious. I am fully enjoying it after a few episodes.

I was hooked after the first episode. Andy Richter was hilarious as the abducted special guest. Ned the host who is also an alien space captain abandons his plans to destroy earth and pursue a career as a talk show host. Ned is very ignorant about the ways of humans but trying his best to fit in while drinking humans favorite beverage... mayonnaise...😆 this is a very fun watch.

Overall I like the show. I realize it is puppets. However they still can communicate a message to adults and children alike. In episode three, one Clod kills another Clod in an unfair manner. They were both to put their weapons away. One did and the other killed him. Cornelius's comment was, oh don't worry. It's only a clod. You may think I take things too seriously, but in today's environment with people being killed unnecessarily it shows that life of others is not necessarily valuable if they're not like us. So to say it's OK because it's only a Clod bothers me. If I were watching with a child, I definitely have to discuss this with them.
