    I love this show.

    I love Teacher's Pet with a passion. It's a show with wit, intelligence, humor and cute animals! This show is just worth watching alone for the voices. My favorite character is Spot. He is a good role model. He is who he wants to be and not what others tell him to be. (Nathan Lane is perfect as Spot.)

    Worth waking up for!

    Teacher's Pet is the best cartoon I have watched in a long time. There's no defeating evil monsters, no tired storylines, and no predictable or just plain bad scripts. This show makes me laugh out loud.

    The Cast. Nathan Lane definitely deserved the Daytime Emmy he won for lending his voice to Spot/Scot, a dog who desperately wants to be a boy and go to school. Nathan Lane has also done other Disney characters (The Lion King's Timon) but he makes Spot a whole new zany, hilarious character. David Ogden Stiers is the lovable Mr. Jolly, a neurotic housecat, and Jerry Stiller is extremely funny as Pretty Boy, the pet bird. Shaun Fleming is Leonard Helperman, Spot's owner and best friend. You can also hear Debra Jo Rupp (of That 70's Show fame) as Mrs. Helperman, mother and teacher. Wallace Shawn, permanently attached to his cat Tallulah, is Principal Strickler.

    What I like about Teacher's Pet: it's never been done before! It's a creative new idea with a great cast and a great script. Even adults will like this one- some of the humor probably goes right over kids' heads. Check out Teacher's Pet on Disney's One Saturday Morning.

    The only great Saturday morning cartoon

    I haven't been a kid for too many years to count. Generally speaking, Saturday morning is my least favorite time to watch the tube. I like to laze around on weekends; and I have no interest in modern cartoons. Usually, there's a choice between boring cartoons and infomercials.

    Now sneak 'Teacher's Pet' into the mix. I'm entranced by a likeable dog who turns into the 4th grade class genius the moment he's on his way to school. The excellent Nathan Lane does the voice for Spot/Scott, the budding dog/boy genius, and he is superb.

    The mark of any great kid's entertainment is how well it holds up over time, and how well it plays to different levels. That's why The Rocky and Bullwinkle show was so beloved by younger views and the adults who care for them.

    This is a great cartoon, great entertainment, and great fun. I predict a long, successful run on Saturday morning. I'll make sure I watch!

    little in attention, but big in taste

    This show, this show.......it makes me wonder what my pets are thinking, and that's what it does, it shows a point of view of a dog who doesn't want to be a dog, and that's creative and something Gary Baseman would actually do, and he did it. The cast contains Nathan Lane,David Ogden Stiers,Mae Whiteman,Jerry Stiller, and Wallace Shawn, hell even Pamela Adlon and Rob Paulsen voices characters, and there performances are astounding, including rob, it was his time to just goof off as Ian Wazselewski and act so retardly hilarious. The only problem i have with the show is that, it barely has any attention. Back then people from miles began watching stuff like Recess, Pepper Ann,Teamo Supremo,Mickey Mouse works, and Disney's Doug, it just makes me cringe that not that much people even watched Teachers pet, and this was Gary Baseman's magnum opus, hell it even got a successful movie that still people haven't even seen it due to that there currently either watching Rugrats or Ren and Stimpy or any other 90's cheese, this was just underrated yet it was good, hell i can consider Nathan lane was jumping around at Disney when they made it, so it has lots of consideration in the show,which is good. Personally, I suggest you watch it if you haven't heard of Gary Baseman

    Deserves a Daytime Emmy!

    The coolest cartoon of the new millennium! I like Nathan Lane voicing the hammy dog (Spot/Scott) as well as Debra Jo Rupp doing double duty on a prime time show & a cartoon (That 70's Show).

    But my favorite character is Mr. Jolly (David Odgen Stiers)! The sensative orange cat who's kind hearted. Whether Mr. Jolly laughs over Pretty Boy's pratfalls or dehydrates himself by crying too much, Mr. Jolly's the secret star of the show (being I'm a cat lover myself).

    This cartoon deserves a Daytime Emmy Award for Best Animated Series &/or Best Performer in a Children's Series.
