Puppets Who Kill – The Complete Second Season
Picture: C

With a mere 13 episodes, Puppets Who Kill continues
their “bad puppet” ways with angry, drunken, drugged puppets who co-exist in a
world with corrupt humans. We pick up
on The Complete Second Season and are not impressed. It is a production of the Canadian
cable/satellite Comedy Network, but is just not that funny. All it can be is a one-joke show with no
point.
Sure, some people love killer puppets and this is our
fifth such title covered to date, but the humor is more explicit here than with
the Puppet Master franchise or Puphedz, which are also
supernatural unlike this series. With
that said, they do not comprise any cycle and this is only for those with an
exceptional interest in such things.
The only thing this set really kills is time, time you could spend on
better releases.
The 1.33 X 1 image was shot on professional NTSC analog
video and is softer and more definition and color challenged than a 2004
production should be. The Dolby Digital
2.0 Stereo is compressed and definitely has no surrounds. Extras include text cast/crew bios, Canada
A.M. interview with the puppets, episode/scene index and audio commentary
on two of the shows.
