    This show is awesome!!!!!!

    This is the best and most original show i have seen ever in my life. Dan the main character and actor is the best and perfect for the roll he is playing and the puppets are all real funny and believable as characters in this show. The stories are all good but some of the guests are not very good actors but that's okay because they have great plot lines that push boundaries and some good guests to like Eugene Levy from S.C.T.V. I love this show and can't wait to see new episodes, it should be on for ever!!!!!!

    I give this show 9 out of 10 stars because it only loses 1 star for lower production values and budget and because of the guest show sometimes aren't that good.

    One of the funniest new comedies in Canada

    There are so many episodes that make me howl over the stories

    that I wish I could pick the best ones , Rocko and Bill make for a strange pair that are beyond help but manage to play the victim and BS their way out of hard time just to drag Dan into their life of crime .

    Canadians will notice the odd joke for Toronto or the Federal Government, and because the CBC axed a really good show by the Frantics that Dan was part of , the show takes shots at them and in the episode "Dan's Umbrella" the CBC is raked across the coals .

    When Dan says that the CBC would never waste taxpayers money on useless venture , Rocko enters the room and gives Dan back his Tape of Friday-Night with Ralph Benmurgue , this show was a flop and most people wouldn't get the joke unless they knew the CBC's history for making shows people don't watch or axing good shows that they do watch.

    Absolutely hilarious

    Four puppets with severe behavioural problems are under the guidance of a social worker in a halfway house but wreak havoc on their leader, their neighbour, and the community and cause trouble within the group home. The 13 episode show is in its first season and airing on The Comedy Network. Hilarious half hour comedy complete with bloopers and behind-the-scenes footage during the credits roll. Though this series has been compared to the US cancelled series "Greg The Bunny", Puppets Who Kill airs exclusively on Canadian TV and not likely to appear in future syndication. Want to see what these little monsters can do to the staff at the CBC? Tune into the episode "Dan's Umbrella". But there's lots more. Hopefully they'll return for a second season.

    Pretty good

    This show is not the laugh riot the other reviews claim it is but it's definitely worth watching. They try to hide the fact that it's in Canada, one episode even featured people with southern United States accents and no one has a Canadian accent. But every extremely short outside cut scene gives it away. If you can find it, watch it.

    Bad (but funny) Puppets

    This is a really fun comedy with a really original idea behind it and definitely a very unique concept as well.... it is a half way house for criminal puppets run by a (human) man who is selfish but kind of a pushover.

    The show is funny but meant for adults or 18+ audiences only, because these are not your typical puppets, some of them are hard core perverts and sexual deviates (there are a lot of sexual scenes and jokes) and some of them are cold blooded killers who have no problem with murdering people.

    It's too bad this show is not still being made because it had real promise and was very funny.
