I was looking around Funny or Die a few nights ago looking for the horror version of The Giving Tree (so bloody!) and then a look at Disney’s vehicle movies (so many obvious puns) when I came across something I might have vaguely known existed but had never watched: The Doctor Puppet.

Now I’m not one for obviously cute things, especially puppets, but the creator behind this series (Alisa Stern) has done some brilliant work.  Lots of nods to the Doctor’s 50 years embedded in an ongoing mystery.  Plus there’s little-to-no dialogue (mostly narration, sonic screwdrivers, and psychic paper).  Check out the first “epidose” below.

You can see the second episode here, the third here, and the fourth here.  There’s even a Christmas episode that you can see here.

Something to tide us all over until Thanksgiving, I suppose.
