Puppets
Who Kill is a TV comedy series about a halfway house for very bad puppets –
Puppets who lie, puppets who cheat, puppets who have no respect for human life
or dignity… puppets who kill.
The series is centered around Dan Barlow [Dan Redican], a resoundingly
incompetent human social worker who runs a halfway house for criminally insane
puppets: Buttons the sex addicted Bear, Bill the psychopathic ventriloquist
dummy, Rocko the thuggish dog and Cuddles the emotionally unstable comfort
doll.
Together
they engage in sordid behaviour, questionable ethics, pettiness and small
mindedness. Badness and mayhem abound. Good judgement….not so much.
Puppets
Who Kill is based on a theatre show written and created by John Pattison. The

produced by PWK Productions Inc.
The series premiered in Canada on The Comedy Network in 2002, and in

South Korea and Germany.

Screen Awards) out of a total of fifteen nominations. Puppets Who Kill also
picked up a prestigious Bronze Rose at the 2003 Montreux Television Festival in
