You can blame Bernie Su for the new, improved (?) and fantastically terrible punny title for my web series review column. However, he knows what he’s doing with pliers and a sledgehammer, so I’d just not make a federal case of it. I am not the biggest fan of puppets, but I would not go so far as to say that puppets and I have a dislike of one another. When done right, a puppet act can showcase brilliance to a universal audience. But often what happens is: The novelty of having cute-looking inanimate objects talk about shocking things wears thin quickly, The use of puppets try to take the focus away from weakly written humor, or It’s just made for a very narrow audience, and was never meant to appeal to me, anyway. Exit Row easily sidesteps the first pothole. We’ll talk about the other two later,...
