The first Animated Show based on the Littlest Pet Shop toy line was an attempt to establish a new direction for the franchise.In a City with No Name, a kindly eccentric named Elwood P. Harvey runs a pet shop that features miniature animals called the Littlest Pets. Unknown to Elwood, the tiny pets have their own society and experience lots of misadventures. This especially applies to the five main characters: Stu: A blue dog who's a well-meaning, lovable bumbler. Chloe: A sarcastic purple cat who's been reincarnated many times since she first lived in Ancient Egypt. Viv: A musically-inclined pink rabbit who sings, dances, plays various instruments, and speaks with an adorable British accent. Her songs are accompanied by a backing band who live inside her top hat. Chet: A macho yellow horse who talks and acts like a traditional cowboy. Squeaks: A banana-loving brown monkey. His main role is helping the other characters, and he communicates with sounds instead of speech.The description makes Littlest Pet Shop sound like an innocuous show for toddlers, but the series' true inspiration is Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs; like those shows, it features witty dialogue, slapstick humor, pop culture parodies, and even some occasional satire. Much of the series' humor will go over the heads of the small children that it was presumably intended for, and maybe that's why it got disappointing ratings and only ran for one season; it simply wasn't the show that anyone expected it to be.Not to be confused with Littlest Pet Shop Presents, Littlest Pet Shop (2012), or Littlest Pet Shop: A World of Our Own, which have their own entries.

Captain Oblivious: Elwood hardly ever notices the stuff going on in the pet shop, least of all Delilah's attempts to eat the pets.

Big Bad: Delilah, a normal-sized iguananote Though she acted a lot more like a monitor lizard, which are carnivorous - unlike iguanas, which are herbivores. whose goal is to eat the other animals. She often succeeded, sometimes completely by accident, but Status Quo Is God.

Shout-Out: Elwood's name is a reference to the main characters of Harvey. As noted, "Squeaks in Space" is an Affectionate Parody of Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Wars. G-rated Expies of Beavis And Butthead appear in "Bunny Beat".

Gosh Dang It to Heck!: An interesting variation of this happened in "Treasure of Sierra Pet Shop": when this show first aired, "heck" itself was considered taboo, so Elwood instead said "What the eck-hay?"
