Description:  Eek! The Cat is a 1990s animated series about a kind-hearted, purple cat named Eek whose motto is, "it never hurts to help." His selfless attitude often lands him in painful and dangerous situations, which is the primary source of the show's physical and pop-culture-spoofing humor. Later seasons were retitled Eek! Stravaganza and added segments like The Terrible Thunderlizards and Klutter!.

The main character: Eek is a well-meaning but accident-prone cat who is constantly getting hurt. Despite the pain, the show often ends with him being rewarded for his good intentions.

The humor: The humor is derived from Eek's misfortunes and his attempts to help others. The show also spoofs movies and TV shows, sometimes with mature themes, and features celebrity cameos.

Supporting characters: Annabelle: Eek's girlfriend. Sharky the Sharkdog: Eek's worst nightmare. Eek's human family: A family he cannot communicate with using spoken language.

Show structure: The series started as Eek! The Cat and evolved to include other segments. The Terrible Thunderlizards: A segment about misfit dinosaurs trying to destroy two cavemen. Klutter!: A segment about a dog-like creature named Klutter created from a pile of clothes.
