What is Wonder Showzen? This is an
American sketch comedy television series that aired between 2005 and
2006 on MTV2. It was created by John Lee and Vernon Chatman of PFFR. The
show is rated TV-MA. The show's format is that of educational PBS
children's television shows such as Sesame Street and The Electric
Company (e.g. use of stock footage, puppetry, and clips of children
being interviewed), parodying the format in a very adult-oriented manner
under the slogan "Play School on Acid". In addition to general
controversial comedy, it satirizes politics, religion, war, sex, and
culture with black comedy. Every episode begins with a disclaimer,
accompanied by the sound of someone screaming "Don't eat my baby!",
which reads: "Wonder Showzen contains offensive, despicable content
that is too controversial and too awesome for actual children. The
stark, ugly and profound truths Wonder Showzen exposes may be
soul-crushing to the weak of spirit. If you allow a child to watch this
show, you are a bad parent or guardian."

Wonder
Showzen was originally developed and pitched to the USA Network, but
after a few minutes of viewing, executives there quickly concluded it
did not fit the network's programming style. However, Viacom was
re-branding MTV2 and made Wonder Showzen part of its new programming
lineup. It aired as part of Sic 'Em Fridays, along with Dirty Sanchez
and Wildboyz. The pilot was named simply "Kids Show". The Wonder Showzen
theme song is still 'Kids Show'. Reruns of the show also air on MTV and
Comedy Central.
