"Gonzo Goes Gonzo - MTV's relaunch has been hijacked by Wonder Shozen, an outrageously tasteless fauz kids' show reveling in meat and puppets (but, sadly, no Meat Puppets). Think Muppets on mescaline."

 
 

- Rolling Stone 4/20 Issue Number 973

 
 

 

 
 

"The Most Offensive New Show On TV (Set your TiVo!)"

 
 

- TimeOut New York, April 21-27 Issue No. 499

 
 

 

 
 

"With Wonder Shozen (airing Fridays at 9:30pm on MTV2), a new Dadaist spoof of Sesame Street and its progeny, Vernon Chatman and John Lee have found a way to unsettle jaded viewers by employing a device that most purveyors of 'alternative' comedy wouldn't touch with a ten-foot boom: live human children, who take part in gonzo interview segments that are juxtaposed with raunchy puppet shenanigans."

 
 

- TimeOut New York, April 21-27 Issue No. 499

 
 

 

 
 

"But the lessons the new MTV2 comedy series 'Wonder Shozen' teaches are things like 'Danger can be fun,' 'Imagination can lead to a terrible fate' and love is a 'neurochemical con job.' "

 
 

- Daily News, Wednesday, April 27, 2005

 
 

 

 
 

" 'Wonder Shozen' weaves together animated segments, children's educational reels, industrial films and theater-of-the-absurd flourishes. Together, it creates an improbable mix of 'Avenue Q,' R. Crumb and Samuel Beckett."

 
 

- Daily News, Wednesday, April 27, 2005

 
 

 

 
 

"In one segment, a 6-year-old confronts a stunned Wall Street broker with: 'Who did you exploit today?' "

 
 

- Daily News, Wednesday, April 27, 2005

 
 

 

 
 

"The truth is, in this jumpy, bullying and in many ways off-putting show, here have been at least a dozen moments of humorous provocation."

 
 

- The New York Times, New York, Thursday, March 31, 2005

 
 

 

 
 

" 'Wonder Shozen' is a messy mix of animation and live action, part 'Sesame Street' parody, part stoner indulgence, part lazy censor-baiting, part pure inspiration."

 
 

- The New York Times, Thursday, March 31, 2005

 
 

 

 
 

" 'Wonder Shozen' contains offensive, despicable content that is too controversial and too awesome for actual children, adding, 'If you allow a child to watch this show, you are a bad parent or guardian.' "

 
 

- The New York Times, Thursday, March 31, 2005

 
 

 

 
 

" 9:30-10pm Wonder Shozen (MTV2, TV-MA)- Why does MTV bury this hilariously twisted Sesame Street parody on its bastard son of a network? Because numbers and letters rumble while a Jewish J and an Arab 8 have puppet sex that would make Triumph the Insult Comic Dog blush? Or because an angelic tot reporter asks Wall Streeters, 'When the revolution comes, where will you hide?' Sure this show, as dark as the bottom of Oscar the Grouch's trash can, will give your inner child nightmares, but it's the only way he'll learn. B+
