Eek! the Cat

Eek! the Cat is an animated series which ran on Fox Kids from 1992 to 1997, with animation produced by Nelvana. Centering on a good-natured cat who tries to help people (with disastrous consequences), the series was created by Bill Kopp (who voiced the title role) and Savage Steve Holland (who was later a guest storyteller on Telling Stories with Tomie dePaola, doing a segment on animation).
==Muppet Mentions==
* In the first season episode "Eek vs. The Flying Saucers," Eek begs a race of aliens not to blow up the Earth, listing a large amount of reasons, including the Muppets.
* In the fifth season episode "The FugEEKtive," Weird Al Yankovic appears on America's Most Wanted with footage of the missing Sharky the Sharkdog. In one shot, Sharky is clearly visible among a kickline of dancing tornadoes. Weird Al narrates: "If you look close... well, to quote a famous educational show that is also heavily copyrighted, one of these things is not like the others." During Al's video, a near soundalike instrumental version of the Sesame Street theme song is played.
