An irreverent, single-camera workplace comedy from Vicious co-creator Gary Janettihas landed at NBC with a put pilot commitment. Tentatively titled Bumbleberry Lane, the project, from Warner Bros. TV where Janetti is under an overall deal, is set behind the scenes of a racially diverse, politically correct children’s puppet program where everyone and everything is incredibly, politically incorrect. (The puppet show’s description and name, Bumbleberry Lane, sounds like a take on PBS’ venerable Sesame Street).
In the vein of The Larry Sanders Show (but with puppets) and Fox’s underrated 2002 comedy Greg the Bunny, Bumbleberry Lane is described as a big ensemble comedy in which a group of misfits working at a public television children’s show try to prevent their messy personal lives from spilling over into their jobs, sometimes resulting in puppets behaving badly. The R-rated show behind the G-rated show.
