| Take a creepy opera singing Christian ventriloquist, add a surreal cast of characters, truly trippy graphics, and put it all on a Public Access cable TV channel, and you are somewhere towards the complete package of madness that is puppeteer David Liebe Hart's world. Hart himself claims to have been one of the first Afican-Americans to have been abducted by aliens. The nature of their mission was revealed to him by one alien that looked like Bettie Page, named Jezebel. Who also took the form of a giant insect. |
Aside from referencing his abduction experiences, Hart uses his puppets to push a strong anti-drugs and alcohol message on the TV show. Assisted by a cast of characters that look like they are either acid casualties, or currently tripping off their faces. The heavy use of blue-screen and Chroma Key, ultra low-budget production values, along with the creepy cast of puppets, and Hart's strange singing voice, make for one of the strangest TV experiences anyone will ever see.
| Aside from the puppets, there's a strange cast of human characters that join Hart in the show. These include Count Smokula, the accordion playing vampire that smokes cigarettes on screen, and a variety of seemingly whacked out musicians, in costumes and masks. Including the guitarist in the alien mask, which is more than enough to give any kid nightmares. Making Junior Christian Science Bible Lesson, a show that has gained a cult status, and has to be seen to be believed. | |
