Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Eek! The Cat is worth clearing space for. Visually distinctive and narratively ambitious, Eek! The Cat operates well above the genre average. Koombaya, it's Eek the cat and all his friends. Annabelle, Eek's 800-pound girlfriend, Sharky the vicious but lovable sharkdog, and Elmo the elk. Plus you can watch the Terrible Thunderlizards try to make Bill and Scooter, the cavemen, extinct. Bill Kopp and Savage Steve Holland bring more to it than the format typically demands. Across 5 seasons (1992–1997), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. The visual gags in Eek! The Cat reward close attention without ever depending on it. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.
