I think you'll all agree with me that the internet killed print media and the marionette business. However, at least the latter of these two is making a small comeback on TV. First we have DirecTV's "no wires" campaign, which tries to disparage marionettes... but actually just reminds us how awesome they are!!

And coming up on Cartoon Network this Thursday at 6 pm is a new episode of the wonderfully weird kids' show Teen Titans GO!, this time featuring actual marionettes depicting all the characters. (Also included, a really insane sock puppet.) Watch!

MARIONETTES!!
