Gary the Rat

This is the greatest cartoon of all time, Kelsey Grammer does a very good job as Gary The Rat, he is a human lawyer who wakes up one morning to discover that he has been turned into a rat, there is this guy named Bud, who delievers the foriegn cheese and he gets paid. I give this television show **********out of**********.

It's shame that it is quite obscure, i only learned about it because Keaton is in it. I found Gary to be hilarious character, mainly because i really like this type of character - the ones that are selfish, sleazy, looking down on others smooth talkers, he plays very well of the more dummies such as bud who gets insulted by the rodent in every appearance which is honestly the best way to approach characters like that, with other often smarter characters that react to them with dissapointment or embarrassment.

What really drags this show down is the exterminator character who is an imbecile, looney tunes type character that is simply not funny and his shenanigans are plot B in almost every episode which results in less time with main character who like i stated before works great with idiots that we're now stuck with so the show just plummets in quality.

Overall i recommend this show especially if you like characters that are Rat B*stards like Gary is, the animation isn't the best but it sure is better than modern family guy clone no #3749 and is honestly quite charming.

I agree with you , absolute genius. I live way out in NZ and i sat up till 2am to watch this show having to sit through boring drama like Alias and the like...

Not many TV aired cartoon's come along very often with the genius of this show.

Pure filth and UN-adulterated fun for 15 and upward i'd say

I'm pretty sure i caught every episode, and couldn't wait for the next week when Gary would return wit more exploit's.

Bring Back Gary!!

Gary the Rat............Sh*t

I loved this show, it was on Spike TV later in the evening. Some of the humor is legal so it helps to know a little about the profession. The whole concept of a lawyer that's so nasty he wakes up as a rat is just too hilarious. I was sorry to see it die so fast but I suspect the humor was too sophisticated for the general sort of person that would watch Spike TV. When you see the series you'll recognize schtick related to a few things that were in the news at the time, the episode with the copier rear shots was pretty funny. The humor is dry and multifaceted, like I said I just think it was over the heads of most of the teenage males that tend to watch spike TV, a lawyer will think this is a riot as will anyone else of the more intellectual set. I wish they'd revive it, was a great show. Now if they'd put it out to DVD I'd buy it.

I am really serious. They should put this show on DVD. I mean this was an excellent cartoon when it was on Spike. I loved it. I loved all the cases or positions Gary was assigned to in every episodes. Kelsey Grammar was perfect for Gary Andrews. There were also some funny moments in every episode. One, for instance, was Gary's dream, and Bugz trying to kill him but ends up killing someone else. I think SPIKE TV should have kept it on much longer. All the episodes on this series, I think, were well done: acting, writing, heck everything. And all the supporting cast members and special guest stars of this series were great too. A must have on DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
