Transylvania Television
Transylvania TV is a Web original Retro Monster Comedy Puppet Show that is not for kids. Described by one of the creators as the illegitimate child of The Munsters and Avenue Q, it stars the dysfunctional crew of a television station in Transylvania.
The main characters are:
- Count LeShoc: The Nosferatu station head.
- Batfink: LeShoc's assistant, a beatnik bat.
- Dwayne Frankenstein: The janitor
- Artie Leech: The Accountant
- Furry J. Ackermonster: The yeti intern from the USA.
- And many other supporting characters.
Upon his arrival in the station, Furry makes some modifications to the Frankenstein Device and resurrects several old television shows—making way for parodies galore.
The show is well made and has probably the best production values out of any online show, but suffers from the episodes being very, very very short. This can be particularly jarring due to how many names you see on the credits.
The episodes vary among showing station antics, the in-universe television shows, and Furry's Vlog series. It is well into its second season and is planning a public access Halloween special. Can be viewed here. The series is now on That Guy With The Glasses and can also be found here.
