Jim Carrey hasn’t had a regular TV gig since In Living Color. Now, he’s making his small screen return on Showtime, in his new Kidding TV show. With Carrey’s vast talent and marquee name, will a large enough audience flock to his new TV series to justify future installments? Will Kidding be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. **Status update below.
A Showtime comedy-drama, Kidding stars Carrey, Catherine Keener, Judy Greer, Frank Langella, Cole Allen, Juliet Morris, Bernard White, Juliocesar Chavez, Julitta Scheel, Coda Boesel, Mary Faber, Dan Garza, and Ginger Gonzaga. The story centers on Jeff Piccirillo (Carrey) aka Mr. Pickles, the beloved host of the children’s television show, Mr. Pickles’ Puppet Hour. As his family starts to break down, Jeff finds no solace in the stories and puppets he has always used to help him navigate stormy seas. Soon, his own father and executive producer, Seb (Langella) starts to make plans for making the show without him — while Jeff slides into insanity.

How pathetic to make a mockery of a person like Mr Rodgers who once delighted our homes as children into something vulgar and a joke. What a shame…This show will appeal to you’re target audience for profit but not to those who love what is of decency. Why demonize peoples minds with this garbage. I hope the show is short lived. Sad to see Jim Carry Taking on this role at the end of his career.
I love this show. Its so much more than what is on the surface. Its about life, loss and hopefully redemption. It may be a little deep for some who see Jim Carey as a comedian. I hope it doesn’t cancel.
I so glad for renewed another season.
Exactly. Thank you. This show/role is obviously deeper than what perhaps the average Jim Carey fan is used to seeing him play. It might even be psychologically above and beyond most viewers ability to comprehend. Bottom line is that this show contakns exactly what humanity is lacking and needs more of. Awareness, not only selfawareness however, awareness of others. Be aware of what those around you are going through and perhaps engage them in conversation about what they might need to voice. Be the difference they might need or at least let people know that, “we are all in this… Read more »
Like Buster, I haven’t found Jim Carrey funny at all.
I haven’t found Jim Carrey funny in years. Nor his paintings that interesting.
Cool … Good thing his character isn’t supposed to be funny … nor should his art have anything to do with the show. Thanks for your wonderful insight.
