Watcher Entertainment's best show to date is back! According to producers/stars Ryan Bergara and Shane Madej in their other show Watcher Weekly, a second season of Puppet History was shot over the weekend (after season 2 of Shane's Weird (and/or) Wonderful World was cut short). The season premiere doesn't show many signs of being rushed - on the contrary, the online "university" (because the contestants can't be in the same room) is established and Shane still produces a song at the end, with a stylized puppet. It may not be his catchiest number, but it works.
For a guest contestant, Kate Peterman makes her second appearance on the show. She enjoys Puppet History way too much, and it brings a ray of sunshine to the show. Aside from Kate being a good guest, Ryan and Shane play off each other well, as they do at their best. Including bloopers throughout the episode adds to the appropriate anarchic tone.
For a story, this is a good one, though the title character doesn't actually play that huge a role in the story as you would expect. I'd never actually heard of the Baltimore Plot before. Looking forward to finally getting more Puppet History!
