I don't get cable, so I've no idea if this'll be any good, but...

TUNE IN!
to the television premiere of The Jim Henson Company's Puppet Up! - Uncensored
on TBS at 11PM (EST/PST)
Monday November 20th
Don't miss it!

From the company that for fifty years has celebrated irreverence, creativity and performance comes:

The Jim Henson Company's Puppet Up! - Uncensored
a demonstration of what happens when the perilous and provocative forms of traditional comedic improvisation are mixed with a bunch of puppets.

With a motley group of characters brought to life by the world renowned puppeteers of
The Jim Henson Company, this is not your average night at the improv and it is definitely not for children. But all others are welcome to enjoy the uninhibited anarchy of live puppet performance
as never seen before.

Kewlness. No cable either, but maybe it will make its way to DVD or Youtube.

Running it against The Daily Show seems tough, but I'll definitely try and check it out. THanks for the heads up!

Peter Jackson's true masterpiece.

Saw parts of it. Definitely not for children (in fact there were several words in it that didn't get bleeped out like I thought it would). Funny puppet improv. Nothing mind blowing, but if you like Whose Line Is It Anyway? and Puppets, you'll like this.
