Egg Quest: The Saga of the Breakfast Burrito
About
6 episodes, 4 actors
If there’s one thing Greg Benedict is obsessed with, it’s consuming breakfast burritos, so much so that he’s dragged his friend Muffy Letta across New York City to find the perfect one. But just when he has seemingly achieved this goal, his and Muffy’s lives are completely upended when they and the burrito are abducted by a group of alien museum curators from Alpha Centauri. A chaotic comedy full of intergalactic antics, puppets, and an onstage omniscient Rod Serling-type narrator whom everyone is fully aware of (and actively annoyed with).
