Tinseltown

2007 · 11 min

A breezy, silly puppet sitcom pilot that coasts on charm and cheeky adult humour rather than plot.

Overview: This short made as a pilot by The Jim Henson Company for the Logo Network in 2007 revolves around the lives of a gay couple, Bobby and Samson (anthropomorphic pig and bull puppets respectively) balancing their romance, family and careers in Hollywood alongside a cast of supporting human characters. Was considered lost media for years until it resurfaced on Youtube on June 24th, 2026.
How it feels: Light, whimsical, campy and satirical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Love, identity, family, celebrity
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
