After three feature length films in two years, a break was in order, but in typical Cullen fashion, there were still stories to be told. With a desire to break from the routine of working with actors and crew, Charles created what was to be the beginning of a new era in the life of Cullen Studios. With puppets in tow and a stage created in the bathroom using the shower curtain as a backdrop, "The Worst Puppet Show Ever Made" was born, and television in southwest Virginia would never be the same. Although the first show was done as a joke, Charles submitted the material to the local public access channel and much to his surprise, it was aired.
