 The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That!
comment
An Edutainment Show on PBS Kids starring The Cat in the Hat (voiced by Martin Short), Sally, her new best friend Nick and Fish, plus cameos from Thing One and Thing Two.Each episode is composed of two twelve-minute stories, in which the Cat helps solve the children's problems by whisking them off in his helicopter-esque Thingamajigger to experience a relevant aspect of the natural world. This usually involves meeting and learning from an exotic animal, bird or insect.The series is based loosely on a franchise of books called The Cat in the Hat's Learning Library, which was later retitled to match the name of this television series. It was produced by Collingwood & Co. and Portfolio Entertainment.

Only Sane Man: As per the original, Fish sees himself in this role in relation to the Cat's unbridled whimsy ("Somebody's gotta take care of you!"). Sally also gets shades of it from time-to-time.

Strictly Formula
 The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That! / int_3f1aadeb
comment
Strictly Formula: Nick and Sally are doing something, then the Cat drops in for a visit. The children experience something they don't know about, so the Cat decides to take them to show them the answer, with them asking their parents if it's okay. After getting the approval, they hop in the Thingamajigger and set off as the "Traveling Song" is heard. They reach a random place and sometimes meet a friend of the Cat's; they then proceed to find the answer. At some point, the Cat summons Thing-1 and Thing-2 to help out. After the answer is found, the Cat recites a rhyme based on what they've learned, and the episode ends with the children doing whatever they did at the start, while using what they've learned to complete it properly.

Stock Footage: The Thingamajigger's launch sequence, as well as the "Traveling Song", use almost the same footage every episode, with the gang's clothes changing to fit the occasion. The Cat's lip syncing in the third verse also changes accordingly to sing about whatever Nick and Sally are going to do.

comment
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: After they get permission from their moms to go on each adventure, the kids yell to the Cat "We can go! We can go!" and he ecstatically jumps into the air and bellows back "I know, I know!!". In one episode, they perform this ritual in a small tent they've just finished putting up... leading the Cat to add a very calm "...and let's never do that in a tent again, OK?"

Three Shorts: The show often follows an "ABAB" format, with the A section being the main stories, and the B section being the post-episode gags, such as music videos with the Cat, the Fish's quizzes, Nick and Sally's "Hat Chat" talk show, and Thing 1 and Thing 2 in a random situation.

Viewers Like You: PBS shows mandate a "thank you" to viewers at the end of the funding credits. The Cat takes this as yet one more opportunity to be supremely hammy. "You and you and you and you! Thanks. So much. You're very kind."

What Happened to the Mouse?: Originally, the main characters in The Cat in the Hat were the Cat, Sally, her brother (identified as Conrad in the live-action movie), and their pet Fish. In this series, it's the Cat, his pet Fish, Sally, and a new African-American boy who lives next door named Nick. What happened to Sally's brother? And when did Fish — notoriously suspicious of the Cat in the original — switch sides?

Staring Contest: In "Aye Aye!", when the Cat is creeped out by Aiya the Aye-Aye's large eyes and makes a wager he can out-stare him, this initiates a round of staring contests, with Thing 1 and Thing 2 as the judges. Sally loses the first round to the Cat, while Nick loses the second to Aiya. When the Cat faces Aiya for the deciding round, he finds it too difficult and immediately loses, giving Aiya the victory.

comment
Cloudcuckoolander: Thanks to his role as responsible guardian to the kids, the Cat is actually quite a bit saner and more organized here than in the original... but he's still a Dr. Seuss character (as interpreted by Martin Short, to boot) and still prone to all it implies.

Primal Chest-Pound: Gordon the gorilla makes his appearance doing this, explaining that he only does it to scare intruders. Like real gorillas, he does it with open hands rather than clenched fists.

Refuge in Audacity: In every episode, the Cat tells the kids to get a parent's permission before they can go on the day's adventure to meet [insert outlandish animal] in [insert wacky place name]. The parent always allows it, thinking they're just pretending.

Race Lift: In the books, the male child character was white, but the one in the TV series is black (and is a different kid, as evidenced by the fact that he's now Sally's neighbor instead of brother). Additionally, the new books being released under the banner of The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That feature the the black youngster.

Bag of Holding: The Cat's hat, as per the original, turns out to contain whatever might be needed for that day's adventure. The similarly-stuffed hatch at the back of the Thingamajigger probably qualifies too, given the Things apparently live there.

"Setting Off" Song
 The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That! / int_ebfeb3d9
comment
"Setting Off" Song: Once per Episode, the Cat and children sing the "Traveling Song" as they are flying in the Thingamajigger and heading for the random location of the day, with the third verse changing every episode based on whatever the children are going to do. The song was shortened in the final season and simply ends after Nick and Sally's verse.

Running Gag: See Refuge in Audacity above. Additionally, each episode features an interlude wherein Thing One and Thing Two are called on to get the travelers out of some difficulty, usually by building some wildly complicated contraption.
