- Cold Open: Filmed on location at The Puppet Improv studio... actually, filmed on location at The Springer Opera House in Columbus, GA, Springer has, in many ways, become PI's un-official home, we've shot there a number of times, and even used their backstage space as a set for nearly every episode last season! But back to this show, it's great to see Hare and Penny together again, after 4 seasons of shows, they have become our strongest characters, and the dynamic between them is INCREDIBLE!

-Scooter at Disney World: As I've previously mentioned, we filmed a few short segments with Scooter at Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL in early June, what an odd experience it was going through Disney security with a monster in my backpack... Strangely, it's not the weirdest thing I did over summer vacation... Of course, while we were there, we got to enjoy the parks (even receiving a guided tour from some very courteous Cast Members). Scooter even got to ride Space Mountain, in the bin under my feet, of course! While filming the episode closer, Scooter caught the attention of 2 teen-aged girls waiting on the fireworks show, however they thought he was Elmo... poor little guy just can't catch a break.







                       
-Penny's Confessions: This one speaks for itself...
-Hermie's Cute Petname of the Day: Continuing one of my personal favorites from last season... with a twist!
-Joke of the Day: More Hare and Penny... just 'cuz!
-How to be Hot: A new sketch I wish we'd thought of earlier!

-The Young and the Stupid: Same segment, more stupid drama. Alex Hubbard, Hannah Tarleton and I had soooo much fun shooting a season's worth of these sketches, although it turned out to be quite an challenge to keep ourselves from laughing...
-Calliope's Advice of the Day: Another new segment!
-Poetry Time with Henry Monster: A segment I predict we won't be seeing too much of in the coming seasons, this particular sketch was filmed nearly 3 years ago and JUST now made it into an episode... weird.
-The Daily Dose of Cute: He's just sooooo cute!
-Little Theatre: I built the Humpty Dumpty puppet for a theatrical production of Alice in Wonderland, and he'd been sitting in storage ever since, so I thought it was time to put him to good use... and then Penny showed up....
-The Sherlock Bones Show: Sherlock and Dachshund are back full force after nearly a season of absence! There's a LOT of great S&D material in your near future!

And that's this week's show! I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed producing it!

More to come,
