Sheep in the Big City

Show Summary

Welcome to the Sheep in the Big City guide at TV.com.

Sheep in the Big City is Cartoon Network's ninth original animated series. The show is a c livestock-out-of-water story about a sheep named Sheep who runs away from the farm and hides out in the big city to escape the Top Secret Military Organization on his tail. Sheep faces problems like finding a nice apartment, balancing work and social life, and avoiding a rich socialite who pummels him with a stainless-steel wig.

Characters

SHEEP- Just your average sheep trying to make an honest living in The Big City while avoiding being captured by the secret military organization for a sheep powered ray gun. And finding ways to see his beloved Swanky the poodle while avoiding the steel pounding of Lady Richington's Steel wig.

General Specific- The leader of the Secret Military Organization. He is your average General assigned to capturing sheep to power the sheep powered ray gun. Although he is usually outsmarted by sheep he never gets discouraged.

Private Public- Private Public is the right hand man at the SMO. Even though he is lightyears smarter then General Specific he is happy to take the orders rather than give them.

Angry Scientist- The Brains behind the SMO but is usually to busy correcting General Specific for calling him a Mad Scientist to be of much help and what he lacks in patience he makes up for in the hump on his back.

Narator- The unseen narrator...well sorta. He is the introducer and is usually upset at the writing of the episode but has an over appreciation for the beloved sheep.

  • Good show.

    8.0
    Good show. Too bad it didn't last long.
  • A perfect CN show

    10
    The show lasted for 2 seasons, lasted 2 years, and lasted 26 episodes with an extra pilot. Now for ratings by season.

    Season 1 (2000 - 2001) This lasted 13 eps not counting the pilot. In this season, Sheep moves to the city from Farmer John (Farmer Brown in the pilot). He was sick of the farm life. But he doesn't realize a secret military base is after him. So sheep spends his first days in the Big City.

    Season 2 (2001 - 2002) This one also lasted 13 eps. In this all new season of humor, Sheep spends his last days in the city before at the end General Specific dies and Sheep moves back to the farm. Whether it's being chased by General Specific's ancestors in an old film, being adopted by Lisa Rental, an episode with X Agent, attending a dangerous reunion, being messed around with by General Specific and Private Public's cousins at a stag party, being captured due to law, Private Public's dad capturing Sheep, Sheep getting under a secret agent with an agenda, changing into a human, getting fired from his job as a barber, growing in size and destroys the whole world, loses his mind, and getting his victory back at the end of the show, Sheep is still in a chaos-filled-world just for HIS torture! A bit better than Season 1. It's a perfect way to end the show!

    Season 1 rating: 8/10

    Season 2 rating: 10/10.

    GREAT!moreless
  • Well there is the sheep, and the not-so-secret military organisation hot on his tail, lame brain General Specifiks and a weird little girl who treats sheep like a dog... All this I get, but a ranting Swede? Huh? Still can't figure that out...moreless

    The story about a sheep on the run is quite original i must say. But there are some points where it doesn't really make sense, like what is the ranting Swede?



    But all in all, I think it is a fairly decent and funny cartoon to watch, when you have nothing better on.
  • A sheep gets sick of the barn so he tries to go to a city.

    8.2
    This show is great and underrated it has such great references and funny names for the characters like Far Mer John and General Pacific and Private Public I wonder why it was canceled? It might not have been popular but it's a underappreciated series even though the style ain't that great and some episodes were strange this show is something to get use to. I hear by give this a 8.2 out of 10 if it was still going I would give it a 9 or 10 but I give it 8.2 also cause there are somethings not good about it.moreless
  • Whoever thought of this must have a good imagination. How was this awesome show cancelled??

    8.7
    It's like the creators take out the good programmes and replace them with utter crap! This show was really funny and original and they go ahead and cancel this for Codename: KND? Ok...I hated KND but loved this so I don't understand why that show was more popular...

    Anyway, the show is about a sheep who cannot talk but makes up for action, and the villains are simply hilarious. General Specific and Private Public are funny names! ;)

    But really, I think this show is truly an underrated classic. It should be more popular, I mean it was great AND original!! I think the creators should think twice before they cancel their best shows!moreless
