The Bronx Bunny Show was a comedic talk show that aired on the Starz network from 2007 to 2008. The show was hosted by Bronx Bunny, a puppet rabbit, and his human sidekick, January Gurl. The show was filmed in front of a live audience and featured a variety of off-beat skits and interviews. The humor was often irreverent and aimed at a mature audience. Guests included celebrities from the entertainment industry, as well as lesser-known figures from the worlds of politics and activism.

The show's format was fairly loose, with Bronx Bunny and January Gurl engaging in banter and improvisation in between pre-written segments. The show often featured musical performances, comedy sketches, and audience participation games. One recurring bit involved Bronx Bunny pretending to be a doctor and diagnosing various audience members with outrageous ailments.

Despite its irreverent tone, the show did touch on serious social and political issues at times. For example, one episode featured interviews with activists who were protesting police brutality in New York City. Another segment saw Bronx Bunny and January Gurl discussing the benefits of organic farming with a local farmer.

The puppets used in the show were designed by Jim Henson's Creature Shop, and were operated by a team of puppeteers led by puppet master John Tartaglia. The show was shot in HDTV, which gave the puppets a lifelike appearance on screen.

The hosts of the show, Bronx Bunny and January Gurl, had a unique dynamic. Bronx Bunny was voiced by a comedian named Donnell Rawlings, who was best known for his work on The Chappelle Show. January Gurl, meanwhile, was played by British actress Katie Finneran. Their chemistry was one of the show's highlights, as they played off each other's humor and energy.

Despite its promising start, The Bronx Bunny Show only lasted for one season. The show received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising its outlandish humor and unique format, while others criticized it for being too disjointed and unfocused. Nevertheless, the show has gained a cult following over the years, and remains a beloved oddity in the world of television.

In hindsight, the show's failure might have been due to its bizarre and off-kilter format. It was often hard to predict what was going to happen next on the show, and some viewers may have found this overwhelming. Nevertheless, for those who appreciated the show's daring weirdness, The Bronx Bunny Show was a hilarious and entertaining ride that offered a refreshing departure from the usual talk show format.

The Bronx Bunny Show is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (10 episodes). The series first aired on April 18, 2007.
