The wonder that is Wonder Showzen

Either I've been spending too much time alone in my room, or I'm dead, but somehow I've completely missed
Wonder Showzen, a show which borrows aesthetically from
Sesame Street, but with a lot more heroin use and puppet sex. While its satire can sometimes seem a bit tired,
it's done in a unique and manic way. Children are often utilized as on-the-street interviewers of unsuspecting adults in
a segment simply called "Beat Kids." It's not a show you want to examine too closely, but when it works,
you'll need a team of janitors to clean up your splattered brains after your head explodes from laughing so hard. And
besides, it does the TV Funhouse thing better
than TV Funhouse ever did. The show airs on MTV2.
