Eek! The Cat

This was a hilarious cartoon. Filled with wild adventures and non stop cartoon violence. Eek always says, 'It never hurts to help.' But it usually does. The Thunderlizards were also very funny. This was one of the best shows on Fox Kids to date.

Wild, manic, and very, very clever. Perhaps a bit TOO hip for the kids. Eek is a hopelessly optimistic cat who is head over heels over the neighbor's cat, Wendy Elizabeth, a massively obese feline, who shares a backyard with Sharkey, a (literally) fire-breathing fusion of dog and shark. It's not this combination that made the series so memorable, it was the themes of many of the episodes that were parodies of films.

What other animated series could get away with parodies of "A Clockwork Orange", "Apocalypse Now", "Easy Rider" and "Pulp Fiction"? I was half expecting a parody of "Eraserhead" to show up.

If it ever gets back onto TV, watch it. Especially for the hyperkinetic opening segment from the show's first season.

This is one of my favorite shows from my childhood. The crazy, sometimes even Monty Python-like humor is incredible. The main character is the lovable purple cat. He tries to be helpful and kind to others, but because he's a bit clumsy and dumb, he sometimes makes things even worse. The other characters like his overweight girlfriend, his owners (A mother and her bratty kids) and the shark-like dog who is always out to get him are a lot fun to. Some of the episodes had some satirical humor in them, as well as good, old crazy cartoon violence. Why this hilarious show hasn't been released on DVD yet I don't understand.

I loved this cartoon with the silly fat, fat, purple, and clueless cat and his friends (Mittens, Elmo, Sharkey, Annabelle, and the boring squirrel neighbors). There were a lot of movie parodies and inside jokes: A Hard Day's Night, Rain Man, Elvis, Star Trek, Star Wars, The Graduate, Terminator, etc. It's too bad that there were not more in the series and that the cartoon was not as popular as it could have been. (Maybe if they'd marketed it better?)

I watched it when I was in my mid teens and then again when I was in university, and I loved it both times. I wish they'd bring it back or put it onto DVD. I'd certainly buy it if they did because this show has provided me with a lot of laughter and I occasionally bring it up with my friends, many who haven't heard of it.

Like Animaniacs Tiny Toons Batman This is A Classic show from Fox kids which is sadly no longer around. EEK was a cartoon that spoofed movies that many kids would not know about not just episodes but the titles would be make reference to movies. Eek was an unlucky cat who had high hopes and a positive attitude despite what happened he would usually be chased by the shark dog that terrorized most everyone his girlfriend was a 200 pound pink cat named Annabelle. There was another cartoon that aired on season 2 the terrible thunder lizards it was about the prehistoric age where dinosaur lived in an advanced city and raged war with primitive humans who where just starting to learn three Dino soldiers where sent to attack two human cavemen one was an inventor Scooter the other was the chew toy who had worst luck then Eek Bill. The third cartoon with aired near the end of the series Klutter was about a bunch of cloths that came to life when shocked with static electricity. This is one of the shows that made fox kids what it was it's a true 90's classic I still watch EP's on youtube.
