The Penelope Show

(Note: This is NOT a ripoff of The Pussycats. Read to find out why.)

The Penelope Show is a series focusing around what Penelope did during The Garfield Show. It lasted 5 seasons, 100 episodes, and had 4 TV movies. It was followed up by its spin-off My Three Cats.

Characters

• Penelope is the show's main character, and has 9 brothers (here, Al has been dropped, and replaced by 9 brothers; 2 older, 6 younger, and 1 twin). She starts off 15, but she and Lonnie turn 16 in Penelope's Not-so-Sweet 16.
• Logan is the oldest Pussycat sibling, at age 19 (20 beginning in Lozen). He loves his cellphone, but is also very kind.
• Lenny is Penelope's second older brother, at age 17. He isn't very smart, but, like Logan, is kind to his siblings.
• Lonnie is Penelope's twin brother, older by 2 minutes. He loves anything muddy, grimy, and stinky.
• Luke is Penelope's first younger brother, at age 14. He loves music and plays multiple instruments.
• Lance is Penelope's 13-year old, funny brother. He tells jokes at any opportunity.
• Liam is the 7th child of the family. He is 12 and loves sports, balls, and games.
• Lucas is a 10 year old goth who hates colors (except for black and really, really, really, really, really, really dark gray), and likes zombie movies.
• Levi is a 4-year old cat prodigy. He has already graduated college and has a Nobel Physics Prize.
• Leon is the 11 month old kitten of the family. He doesn't really have a personality, but in Changing the Kitty, Lenny tries to make him like him.
• Jon appears quite frequently, and is the only other Garfield character to appear regularly. Here, he tries to help the cats sometimes (Like in Penelope... the Movie!) but almost always fails (one instance of success was Penelope's Not-so-Sweet 16, where he threw Lonnie a birthday party). He does, however, succeed as an antagonist in episodes like Dog Gone Jon and Happy Halloveen!

Story

In the first episode, Penelope sees Garfield making out with Arlene. Various later episodes show her trying to win Garfield back. She lives with her 9 brothers described above in the basement of Vito's Pizzeria.

Each episode lasts 22 minutes. Some of that time is used for Family Guy-style cutaway gags and hilarious side plots. Some episodes (Like Changing the Kitty) feature real-life songs, others feature original songs.
