Eek! The Cat | comment |
Eek! The Cat is a American/Canadian animated series, created by Savage Steve Holland and Bill Kopp, that ran from September 12, 1992, to August 8, 1997 on Fox Kids. It was retitled Eek! Stravaganza in 1994.The series mainly revolves around an optimistic purple housecat named Eek, whose motto is "it never hurts to help". This generally turns out to be untrue, as this attitude generally gets him into trouble, from which much of the humor of the show is derived. Other characters include Eek's human family, who don't understand animal language; Sharky the Sharkdog, who is irritated by Eek's oblivious enthusiasm for everything and chases him at the drop of a hat; and Eek's girlfriend, Annabelle, a rather big cat whom Eek loves and Sharky protects.The show later added two different segments. The first of these was The Terrible Thunderlizards, which focused on a trio of dinosaurs trying to destroy a pair of oblivious cavemen, Bill and Scooter, while also fighting an evil tribe of skeletal dinosaurs called the Thugasaurs. The second was Klutter, which was about a bunch of neighborhood kids and their living pile of junk and clothing. Klutter was produced by Film Roman, with some of the creative team from The Critic behind it (including David Silverman as the boy's dad), as opposed to Eek! and Thunderlizards, which were produced by Nelvana. | |

In Terrible Thunder Lizards, Doc is usually nominally competent and Squatt is The Millstone, but Cutter may be either of the two. | |

The Ghost | |
Eek! The Cat / int_1ba17583 | comment |
The Ghost: Annabelle's owner is only heard in her debut episode after she's unloaded from her cat carrier saying "Welcome to your new home, Annabelle". The owner afterwards is rarely, if ever mentioned, leaving some to believe that she's an intelligent animal that owns her own home. At the very least, a later episode confirms that she is Sharky's actual owner, so it's very possible that she was retconned into one. | |

I'm a Humanitarian: Technical example: Annabelle is made the queen of some bizarre-looking savages on an island out in the middle of nowhere. Problem was that, "In order for the queen to become a goddess, she must be cooked and then eaten by the king." Cue shot of the king drooling in anticipation as he slavers, "I like girls." | |

Eek! The Cat / int_24321e44 | comment |
Only Sane Man: Sharky, for the most part, is this; Annabelle is a lazy, overdramatic glutton, whilst Eek is naive to the point of stupidity and constantly causing accidents. Pierre is this in the Show Within a Show, The Squishy Bears Rainbow of Enchantment Fun Minute, where his role is usually to try and call the other Squishy Bears out on their stupidity. Vanna from "Klutter" is the most sensible and down to earth member of the group. | |

Bilingual Bonus: If the French tape she's listening to in episode 103 is anything to go by - the mom's language lesson tapes have her supposedly learning nonsensical expressions in a given language that have no relation to the even more nonsensical English translation the tape provides for what she just mispronounced (e.g. French - "Much my hat" - English - "the rats have eaten the car") | |

Halloween Episode: "HallowEek" from Season 1. Eek helps J.B. and Wendy Elizabeth with their trick-or-treating, only to get separated and end up in a graveyard. He then meets a ghost named Cryptie that's been separated from his own family, so they agree to work together to find their loved ones, only to learn a Hot Witch has nefarious plans for all of them. | |

Elvis Has Left the Planet: One episode involving alien abduction featured a brief shot of Elvis amongst the specimens. Another one speculates that he had a shrink-ray-related accident some years ago. The latter involving him having Easy Amnesia, regaining his memory and then getting abducted by aliens. Also, a slightly more subtle gag from the Halloween Episode, when Eek befriends a group of ghosts. At the end when the ghosts are leaving to return to the spirit world, Eek bids them goodbye and asks, "Say 'Hi' to Elvis for me." Cue all of the ghosts muttering in confusion as none of them have ever met or heard of Elvis. | |

Epunymous Title | |
Eek! The Cat / int_3a98aac8 | comment |
Epunymous Title: Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Most of the episode titles are parodies of famous movie titles with the Eek's name somehow worked into them. Oddly, the episode titles sometimes have NOTHING to do with the episode itself. Despite being named after Mystic Pizza, MystEek Pizza has nothing in common with the movie (indeed, even the pizza that kicks the plot off loses relevance after the first five minutes). | |

Character Development | |
Eek! The Cat / int_3b113b7 | comment |
Character Development: Sharky. In Season 1, he's your standard mean dog. Starting in Season 2, the writers slowly give him more depth until he becomes one of the most sympathetic and interesting characters in the series. He keeps his mean-streak, but he eventually gets to the point where he pretty much won't show it unless provoked. | |

Butt-Monkey: The basic humor of the Eek and Terrible Thunder Lizards segments is how the characters Eek (and later Sharky) and Bill are constantly falling afoul of terrible luck, resulting in Amusing Injuries. | |

Logo Joke: In "The Great Eekscape", Nelvana's polar bear logo makes a cameo on the prison's wall. And in "Eek's Sneek Peek", the Fox Kids logo is shown as the HQ for that network, while outside Nelvana's frost-covered studios, a polar bear is seen roaring similarly to their logo — the bear then tries to eat the moose animators. | |

Enemy Mine | |
Eek! The Cat / int_5989e3b6 | comment |
Enemy Mine: Occasionally Eek and Sharky have worked together for one reason or another. One episode of the Thunderlizards revealed why they were in jail before being tapped as expendable agents to wipe out humanity: during a mission, they were stranded in hostile terrain and ended up working with a Thugasaur to survive and escape. Though they succeeded, General Galapagos spotted them with the Thugasaur and had them arrested, falsely accused of treason, and thrown into prison until the series proper began. Bill and Scooter will occasionally help out the Thunderlizards when they aren't being hunted down by them, such as the time they helped to save the President's daughter. | |

The Smurfette Principle | |
Eek! The Cat / int_5d753b19 | comment |
The Smurfette Principle: Parodied in the Terrible Thunder Lizards; the only female human seen in the series is Babs, who is artificially created by splicing together X-chromosomes harvested from Bill and Scooter. The result is then sent to destroy the two humans. Whilst she abandons that plan, it's to take over the world in the name of "womankind" — also, whilst she's technically smarter than either of the men (having Scooter's inventive intellect with Bill's common sense), she's also a Jerkass, being arrogant, manipulative, and domineering. Though she favors Bill, she also treats him like a slave and forces him to do all manual labor for her plans and inventions; he promptly abandons her to resume his life with Scooter, judging his oblivious stupidity to be the lesser of two evils. | |

Identical Twin ID Tag: Pam and Polly from episode "Quadrapedia" look almost identical except for different hair color and outfit choice (Pam sports black hair and red leotard with gloves and heeled boots, while Polly has brown hair and black dress with matching heeled shoes). This may have caused some trouble for the animators because in some scenes, Polly's animation cels briefly get swapped by Pam's (but still maintaining Polly's colors) between frames. | |

For some reason, Eek constantly has a plethora of gorgeous babes making it known that they want him. Eek however always makes sure to tell them that he already has a girlfriend, which is sweet in his devotion but disturbing for the girls who can't believe he'd prefer someone like Annabelle over them. One tries to kill her, since if she can't have Eek, no one will. | |

No One Gets Left Behind: In a "Thunderlizards" segment, the titular dinosaurs grudgingly remembered this rule when an obnoxious parody/cameo of Mr. T got dragged away by a carnivorous plant. Then one asked, "We don't have to go too fast, do we?," and they smiled and moseyed. Subverted in an episode where Eek, Annabelle and two ape astronauts escape from aliens and land safely on Earth. Eek's the only one that got stuck on the moon, hoping someone will come for him, saying "People won't leave me all alone in the cold darkness of space. Would they?". | |

Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Babs and Bill have this dynamic. Bill is a submissive, emotional, paranoid and vulnerable man, whilst Babs is much more aggressively assertive, dominant, and take-charge. In a rare spin on the trope, Babs being so much more masculine than Bill — or at least expressing that in an abusive way — drives Bill away from her. | |

Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism: Eek is a Civilized Animal, though he acts more like a typical cat only when he's with his owner. | |

Eek! The Cat / int_970c790a | comment |
Big Bad: Zoltar essentially serves as one for the Eek segments: constantly trying to destroy the Earth (often using Annabelle as a battery), only to be foiled by Eek and crew. However, he was only a recurring threat and wasn't seen much. The Thunderlizards, meanwhile, had the Thugasaur's leader Thugo. | |

Throw the Dog a Bone: Despite all the crap he deals with, Eek usually ends up somewhat happy. In "Misereek", after wandering around starving and suffering from a short-sighted, Mr. Magoo-like old lady who treats him rougher than she realizes, Eek comes home to his real family who finally feed him. | |

Chick Magnet: For some reason, Eek constantly has a plethora of gorgeous babes making it known that they want him. Eek however always makes sure to tell them that he already has a girlfriend, which is sweet in his devotion but disturbing for the girls who can't believe he'd prefer someone like Annabelle over them. One tries to kill her, since if she can't have Eek, no one will. Pierre seems more popular with the little girls than the other Squishy Bears, maybe because Everything Sounds Sexier in French. | |

Leitmotif | |
Eek! The Cat / int_9f6fb586 | comment |
Leitmotif: Eek, Annabelle, and Sharky each have one, and each leitmotif was given variations based on whatever genre a particular episode was spoofing. Everyone in the Terrible Thunderlizards segments. The Thunderlizards get a sort of rock leitmotif, the cavemen get a happy little jazz piano theme, and Babs gets her own romantic Casio theme. Klutter had his own as well, based on his reggae-style theme. | |

Idiosyncratic Episode Naming | |
Eek! The Cat / int_ac4ac8e5 | comment |
Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Most of the episode titles are parodies of famous movie titles with the Eek's name somehow worked into them. Oddly, the episode titles sometimes have NOTHING to do with the episode itself. Despite being named after Mystic Pizza, MystEek Pizza has nothing in common with the movie (indeed, even the pizza that kicks the plot off loses relevance after the first five minutes). | |

From Bill of the "Thunderlizards": "When will the hurting stop..?" Bill also occasionally has "Are you happy now, Scooter? Are you happy now?" "THUNDERLIZARDS RULE!!" "Why is it always me?! Why is it always me?!" Squatt: "Blast 'em all and let the archaeologists sort 'em out!" Kutter, to Squatt when asked if something bad is about to happen to them: "This would fit NICELY in the BAD THINGS CATEGORY!" | |

Too Dumb to Live: The reason the Thunderlizards were sent to wipe out humanity was because mankind is so stupid they were a threat to all other life. In the final "Thunderlizards" episode, they mistake a freeze ray that was developed by the Dinosaur military that the Thunderlizards misplaced for a camera and accidentally caused the ice age that wiped out the Dinosaurs while trying to take a picture with it. | |

Shout-Out | |
Eek! The Cat / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Eek usually receives a character's compliment and then talks by mentioning random names and titles non-stop, i.e. in the episode "Eek vs. the Flying Saucers", when he meets Zoltar at the alien starship, looking pretty sad: In an episode of Thunderlizards, an astronaut from the present crash landed, thinking he's on an alien planet. Then he believes he's in the Far Future when he saw the ruined Statue of Liberty with Eek's head. "Run, forest! Run!" (To a literal forest of trees.) One to The Godfather of all things in the episode "Halloweek" when Eek accidentally causes a trick-or-treater wearing a horse's head to crash into a mobster's bed. Eek, with a small squid on his head, boards a train and enters a berth where The Beatles see him. | |

Rerouted from Heaven | |
Eek! The Cat / int_cb4c72d8 | comment |
Rerouted from Heaven: An episode has Eek dying and winding up in the Celestial Bureaucracy. This shouldn't have happened in the first place, because Eek hadn't used up all nine of his lives yet. Then, a damned soul asks Eek to hold his rap sheet while he "goes to the bathroom", so Eek winds up getting sent to Hell in his place. However, Eek is so optimistic that the torments of Hell don't affect him at all, and he succeeds at all the Sisyphean tasks the Devil sets for him. | |

Eek! The Cat / int_d2aa7d09 | comment |
Littlest Cancer Patient: Parodied with Elmo's little brother Timmy. As the seasons go by, these conditions that Timmy needs to get treated for get progressively sillier. At one point Elmo is trying to fund the therapy Timmy needs to recover from the psychologically traumatic experience of seeing Rush Limbaugh's butt. | |

Eek! The Cat / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: Eek looks ridiculously similar to Garfield, as some would say. The main difference between him and the pasta-loving cat is Eek is far kinder and more idealistic — and solid purple, rather than tiger-stripped orange. Given that the three Terrible Thunderlizards are already a group of falsely accused special forces, it's not hard to guess who Mr. T Rex is supposed to be, even before he starts dropping the word 'Fool' twice per sentence. Alice from Fatal Eektraction is a furry version of Glenn Close's character Alex from Fatal Attraction. Complete with her sole episode referencing scenes from the movie (like Alex's iconic line "I'm not going to be IGNORED, Dan!" and her killing then boiling a girl's pet rabbit). | |

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Every. Single. Time that Eek tries to do something nice for somebody, then somebody is going to get hurt. With about a 60-40 ratio of it being Eek or the person he's trying to help... unless it's Sharky, then it tends to be 50/50, or at least Sharky gets hurt by Eek, then Sharky hurts Eek for it. | |

Depending on the Writer: Multiple examples Most of the time, Eek is the only one who finds Annabelle attractive, but other times the world treats her as if she's a radiant beauty. In Terrible Thunder Lizards, Doc is usually nominally competent and Squatt is The Millstone, but Cutter may be either of the two. | |

Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Scooter is a perfectly nice, friendly guy, even if he does unintentionally cause harm to those around him (notably Bill). On the other hand, Alice from Fatal Eektraction is a murderous lady who wants to take Eek for herself. Being an expy of Alex from Fatal Attraction that's no surprise. | |
