Kenny the Shark is an American animated television series produced by NBC's Discovery Kids, which ran for two seasons with a total of 26 episodes (each had 2 segments each) between 2003-2005.The series is set in California and centers around a little girl named Katarina "Kat" Cassidy (voiced by Kelli Rabke) and her pet tiger shark, the titular Kenny (voiced by Jim Conroy). As explained in the theme song, Kenny was a shark that decided to move up on land after becoming tired of the ocean, while Kat was a girl looking for a special pet that she could love for her own. When they met, it was love at first sight.Notable about the premise of the show is that Kenny, although a shark, is capable of walking and breathing on dry land, among other obvious feats that no shark in real life is capable of doing—other aquatic life is shown being able to do this as well. Nobody in the show questions this. Kat is also able to speak shark, making her the only one who understands just how intelligent Kenny actually is.Before the series properly aired, Kenny was featured in short interstitial segments, a mostly lost live action TV special that aired as part of Shark Week on August 19th, 2000 (that was filmed from his point-of-view), and two unaired animated pilots. | |

Straw Vegetarian: After Kat decides to become a vegetarian, she tries to get Kenny to become one. But she eventually realizes she shouldn't force him to do something he doesn't want to (or in his case, can't) do. | |

Though he doesn't go through it, Buster in "Whaling On Kenny" threatens Kat with this and she's legitimately terrified at the possibility, which is itself even more nightmarish because orcas don't even try to chomp on humans when unprovoked in real life. | |

Poor Communication Kills: In "Shark Shrunk", Kat tries to be a therapist to analyze Kenny; she deduces that he has a fear of abandonment and afraid no one likes him. However, Kenny misinterprets that as her saying that nobody likes him for real. | |

Completely averted in "Whaling on Kenny" where Kenny becomes the victim of Buster, an orca who is an absolutely vicious bully and not just to Kenny either; when Kat shows up after finding out what Buster's been doing to Kenny, he knocks her flat and she looks legitimately terrified about what he could do next until Kenny jumps between them to protect her. | |

I'm a Humanitarian: Averted, Kenny doesn't try to eat people. Certain circumstances come close to playing it straight, whether they get on his nerves or if they happen to smell like a seal. Though he doesn't go through it, Buster in "Whaling On Kenny" threatens Kat with this and she's legitimately terrified at the possibility, which is itself even more nightmarish because orcas don't even try to chomp on humans when unprovoked in real life. | |

| Kenny the Shark / int_25efd080 | comment |
Artistic License – Marine Biology: Buster attempts to eat Kat along with Kenny in "Whaling on Kenny", despite the fact orcas don't eat humans. Tiger sharks (in fact, any sharks) on the other hand... An In-Universe example occurs in "Mr. Popularity" where Kat becomes annoyed by an animated movie which unrealistically portrays shark biology. Namely the main great white shark character having parents (sharks do not practice parental care) and being a vegetarian who's friends with a squid (great white sharks are predators which eat squid). There's also sharks and other fish being able to walk and breathe on land, but that's an acceptable break. | |

The Scrooge: The aptly-named P.T. Dimwitty, owner of the local hockey team called The Sharks, was looking for a mascot. He only hires Kenny because he's the only one willing to accept what Dimwitty was paying. That being nothing, but all the free hot dogs Kenny can eat. He didn't mind Kenny causing a ruckus, but fired him and called animal control when Kenny ate all of the hot dogs. | |

He and Kat settle for a mascot job for the local hockey team, where it turns out they aren't paid with money but with all the hot dogs he can eat. He's not fired for causing panic, but because he ate all of the hot dogs. | |

Threatening Shark | |
| Kenny the Shark / int_63cad64b | comment |
Threatening Shark: Subverted. While Kenny does cause a bit of trouble, he usually has good intentions when causing it. Although Peter believes this in the first few episodes, as do several other humans in the series. Completely averted in "Whaling on Kenny" where Kenny becomes the victim of Buster, an orca who is an absolutely vicious bully and not just to Kenny either; when Kat shows up after finding out what Buster's been doing to Kenny, he knocks her flat and she looks legitimately terrified about what he could do next until Kenny jumps between them to protect her. Played straight with Kenny's hammerhead friend, Dan, though he is more of a Jerkass than a vicious predator. Played even straighter with Mulch the great white shark from "Mr. Popularity". He is a ravenous, Hulk-speaking predator who attempts to eat the Phoebes (whom he thinks are seals) upon tasting one of their blood and later Kenny when getting enraged by him. | |

Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap!: A variant. In "Whaling on Kenny", Kat has set up a friendship with Buster the orca for Kenny which, unknown to her, has lead Buster bullying Kenny badly; about halfway through the segment, Oscar finds her in the library where she's researching activities for the 2 to do together. After she offers to let him help, Oscar picks up one of her books, pages through it briefly and asks if Kat knew that orcas eat tiger sharks. Kat responds nonchalantly at first but then lets out a Big "WHAT?!" before grabbing the book to confirm the statement. She's... less than happy to find out what she's gotten Kenny into. | |

Idiot Ball | |
| Kenny the Shark / int_7286e96d | comment |
Idiot Ball: Kat in "Whaling on Kenny". Kat had previously (since "Whaling on Kenny" was in Season 2) been established as being a near expert on sharks, especially tiger sharks. Why was it a shocking revelation that orcas eat them? Shouldn't a shark expert like her know sharks have predators too? To say nothing of the fact that she thought that Kenny, a carnivore, could become a successful vegetarian. In another episode, a pet trainer who repeatedly mistreated her students (especially Kenny) brought in a seal as a new pupil. When Kenny (who eats seals) naturally goes berserk, the trainer begins berating Kenny just in time to be caught by Kat who's disturbed by the treatment Kenny's receiving and appalled when she finds out about the seal, calling the trainer out on her stupidity. Fortunately the trainer is willing to listen. | |

In real life, Dimwitty would not at all be allowed to pay an official employee of his with any kind of free food and would likely get in hot water for such a decision. | |

Status Quo Is God | |
| Kenny the Shark / int_a6e8221e | comment |
Status Quo Is God: During the segment "His Fate is Sealed", Kenny's inability to stop attacking seals when he sees one causes property damage at the shoreline park, which has the Cassidys to declare if he doesn't shape up, they'll kick him out. After failed tries, Kat hypnotizes him into thinking of his gross shark medicine when he sees seals. It works... too well. He doesn't chase the seals anymore, but he still ends up causing property damage by trying to run away from a seal. Grace realizes the cure was worse than the disease while Peter is still hit with another bill, and by the next episode, as in the second segment in the episode this was part of, Kenny is back to wanting to eat seals with the threat of kicking him out for it gone. | |

Trademark Favorite Food | |
| Kenny the Shark / int_ad641426 | comment |
Trademark Favorite Food: As seals are the natural prey of tiger sharks, Kenny goes crazy trying to eat them (this even causes problems in the first episode, where he repeatedly attacked a man who smelled like seal.) Fortunately, Kat is able to feed his craving with Seal Pops, popsicles that are somehow FDA approved with seal meat. He also develops a love of Sushi. | |

Jerkass to One: Peter is normally a Nice Guy with people, but he doesn't exactly have the highest amount of respect or concern for Kenny, partially due to Kenny being a constant source of trouble, usually for Peter himself. He was even willing to sell Kenny to Plushtoy, only for Kat to step in and reject the offer. | |

Hypocrite: During "Will Work For Chum", one of the people who came to audition for the shark mascot job becomes a Sore Loser and later heckles Kenny, outright calling him a disgrace to the "shark costume". This sore loser was also the only one who didn't wear a shark costume, which makes it laughable for him to make such bold claims even if he didn't realize too late he was heckling a real shark. | |

| Kenny the Shark / int_f1356f5e | comment |
Speaks Fluent Animal: Kat understands Kenny and vice-versa, and is also able to talk to every other shark. The explanation given is that she's such a shark fanatic that she's learned how to understand them. It's implied that she's unable to understand other animals, given how she interacts with Marty. However, she is able to understand Marty in the "third season". Her parents question this, as shown in the intro. In the Father's Day episode, under anesthesia, Peter was able to understand Kenny. | |

Shown Their Work: A lot of shark facts are thrown in the series, sometimes with Kat expositing them directly to the her classmates/the viewer and sometimes as actual plot points (for example, Kenny repeatedly losing his teeth in one episode and growing new ones.) A lot of myths about them are broken as well, such as showing that most sharks do not go out of their way to kill people. | |
