The Bronx Bunny Show was a ten part (10 x 22 mins) series originally broadcast in 2003 on E4 in the UK. An adult puppet interview show which followed the premise of a semi educational show for the good people of the Bronx, Brooklyn and Manhattan. The show was produced from a run down tenement building in the Bronx where Bronx Bunny and his sidekick; a cigarette smoking panda named Teddy T would interview celebrities who 'done good'.
Also featured on the show were pseudo educational items such as 'The Internal Gerbil' who sang songs about internal organs from inside a gay man, numbers where illustrated by pole dancing women who contorted into the shape of that weeks number, Spanish phrases such as 'Your Mother bangs like a screen door in a Tornado' were taught.
The show was broadcast sporadically on E4 and eventually on Channel 4. The series gained a cult following as it featured interviews with guests such as Hugh Hefner, Jessica Alba, William Shatner and Larry Flynt. The show was created by Double Z Enterprises an Irish production company who are behind such characters as Zig and Zag and Podge and Rodge.
The Bronx Bunny Show won 'Best Entertainment Show' IFTA Award in 2003.
