Oswald (2001-2003) is a 26-episode British-American cartoon that aired on Nick Jr.. It was created by the acclaimed American children's author Dan Yaccarino.Taking place in Big City, Oswald follows the life of a talking blue octopus named Oswald (voiced by Fred Savage) and his pet hot-dog Weenie. Amongst Oswald's friends are the cynical penguin Henry (voiced by David Lander), the sporty sunflower Daisy (voiced by Crystal Scales), the ice-cream shop owner Johnny the Snowman (voiced by Mel Winkler), and the large-but-shy dragon Pongo (voiced by Richard Kind).Not to be confused with Walt Disney's Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. | |

Barbershop Episode | |
| Oswald / int_22d5b1c4 | comment |
Barbershop Episode: In "Henry Needs a Haircut", Henry has a feather sticking out on top of his head that won't stay down. Oswald suggests that he visit the barber, but Henry thinks it will hurt and refuses. Instead, he makes many attempts to slick the stray feather back, but nothing works. At the end of the episode, Henry finally goes to the barbershop, and finds out his haircut wasn't as bad as he thought it would be. | |

Feud Episode | |
| Oswald / int_3743ef88 | comment |
Feud Episode: "Friends Indeed" has Henry and Daisy arguing with one another when Daisy mistakenly uses Henry's favorite spoon as a shovel and Henry accidentally steps on one of Daisy's plants. Oswald tries to fix the problem by cleaning the spoon and straightening the plant, but the two refuse to talk or be near each other. Oswald ends up being stuck in the middle of their conflict as they each try to get him to do things with them while avoiding the other. After Oswald is fed up with it, he ends up getting stuck on a giant centipede. Henry and Daisy work together to rescue Oswald and become friends again. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold | |
| Oswald / int_4781adbb | comment |
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: In a world where almost everybody is polite and helpful the only real “jerk� by the show’s standards would be Henry who can be picky, fussy, pompous and reluctant to try new things. Even so, it isn’t enough to make him that bad of a guy. He truly cares for his friends and is willing to be more open-minded about things outside his comfort zone. | |

Funny Octopus | |
| Oswald / int_5a1018da | comment |
Funny Octopus: Downplayed with Oswald. The image of a large blue octopus wearing a bowler hat, and with a pet hot dog that looks like an actual dog, is pretty amusing, but Oswald doesn't act too comedic. Instead, the show focuses more on him being a Nice Guy and Friend to All Living Things. | |

Two-Timer Date: The episode "The Double Date" has Oswald agreeing on going to both Daisy's pool and watching Penguin Patrol with Henry and spends most of the episode going back and forth between his plans. The conflict gets resolved as the three friends decided to place the pool inside Henry's apartment so they can both play in the pool and watch TV. | |

Trademark Favorite Food: Oswald has Swizzleberry-Swirl ice cream. Weenie loves vanilla dog biscuits. Henry enjoys eating fish and fish-flavored foods (because he's a penguin). He also always drinks his hot cocoa with two marshmallows (it used to be with three marshmallows, but he found two was acceptable, much to Oswald's consternation as he had gone to Andy Pumpkin's candy store just to get another marshmallow to satisfy him). Daisy loves peppermint tea and sunflower sundaes. | |

Mistakes Are Not the End of the World: In one episode, Daisy accidentally breaks Henry's fish vase, and even though Oswald says it would be best to tell Henry the truth, Daisy is scared Henry will be upset with her. After a couple of failed attempts at trying to make a new fish vase, Oswald reminds Daisy of other times where she made mistakes and Henry wasn't mad, convincing her to tell him what happened. Sure enough, Henry isn't upset; he actually has several other fish vases just like the broken one. | |

Too Many Cooks Spoil the Soup: In "The Birdhouse", Oswald decides to build a bird house and each of his friends offer suggestions to add things that "birds like" such as painted polka dots, flowers, and bells. This results in a cluttered mess that the birds can't even figure out how to get inside. A rain storm washes away all the additions and Oswald realizes that birds like a simple bird house. | |
