Wonder Showzen

Wonder Showzen is a sketch show that ran on MTV2 from 2005 to 2006. Though the show borrowed its entire style from PBS children's shows from the 70's, 80's, and 90's, its humor is intensely adult. Sketches run the gamut from just plain gross-out humor to legitimate social satire (usually with some gross-out humor thrown in). Some of Wonder Showzen most loved segments are a kid-on-the-street interview series entitled "Beat Kids," and a loveable blue puppet named Clarence, who would disarm even the most cynical New Yorker. Developed by the guys behind the production company, PFFR (the company the brought you Xavier, the Renegade Angel, and Delocated), the show was originally pitched to USA. When the USA were just a few minutes into the pilot, they declined. Eventually, Wonder Showzen found a home at one of USA's sister networks, MTV2, which had been going through some programming changes. It quickly became a favorite in MTV2's Sic 'Em Fridays lineup.
