Tinseltown

One project that The Jim Henson Company started shopping around in 2006 is titled Tinseltown. The television puppet sit-com features a gay puppet couple balancing work in Hollywood with life as parents of an adopted human son. In the five-minute presentation tape for "Tinseltown," Bobby is a margarita-swilling pig with a raspy lisp, and his partner is a bull named Samson. When their sullen 12-year-old son plucks a beer from the refrigerator, Bobby dismisses Samson’s concern, telling him, "Oh, it was a light beer."
