Get Fuzzy

Get Fuzzy is an American animated television sitcom based on the comic strip by Darby Conley. Produced by Naughty Bear Animation and Film Roman, the series aired on UPN from 2003 to 2005.

Synopsis
The series features the adventures of Boston advertising executive Rob Wilco and his two anthropomorphic pets, a dog named Satchel Pooch and a cat called Bucky Katt.

The series' humor comes from the conflict between Bucky's and Satchel's personalities, which are extreme stereotypes of cats and dogs. Sweet, trusting, naïve Satchel is routinely subjected to the exploitation of cruel, self-centered Bucky, who is always torturing the poor canine. Rob, the middleman, is often frazzled from dealing with them, or more specifically, from dealing with Bucky's destructive nature and overall nastiness. The three characters live in an apartment on Boston's Longwood Avenue.

Characters and voice cast

 * Will Ferrell as Rob Wilco, the "owner" of Satchel and Bucky and serves as the straight man between Satchel's goofy naïveté and Bucky's cynical hostility. In the Get Fuzzy universe, virtually all animals talk, a situation that no one seems to find odd. Rob is portrayed as a bit of an everyman: a mediocre performer in a job he dislikes, not successful romantically, and an all-around relatively quiet guy with a poor haircut and chronic lower back pain. His passions, which often border on obsessions, include sports (particularly the Boston Red Sox and the New Zealand All Blacks), video games, books, and guitarist Leo Kottke. He is also a strict vegetarian, due to what he feels are too cruel methods of killing the animals. The character was named for two classmates of Conley's at South-Doyle High School (then Doyle) in Knoxville, Tennessee who were named "Rob".
 * Richard Steven Horvitz as Bucky Katt, Rob's self-absorbed and cynical Siamese Cat. His ears are nearly always drawn laid back flat on his head, a feline sign of defiance, aggressiveness, and he is missing an upper canine tooth. The Humane Society found Bucky huddled on a trash can, while the cat was only a few weeks old, in Hackensack, New Jersey, later to be adopted by Rob. While Bucky's father has never been mentioned, Bucky gave his mother's maiden name on a credit card application as "Tricky Woo," an allusion to the ludicrously pampered (but in fact good-natured) pet dog of that name in James Herriot's stories of his experiences as a vet. Bucky lives in a dresser located in the hall closet of Rob's apartment because he refuses to share a room with Satchel. On most outdoor excursions, when Rob is present, Bucky is carried in a strap-on "Bundle-O-Joy" baby carrier, referenced as a way of keeping the cat out of trouble. Bucky's aggression is often directed at Satchel, although his attempts usually fail as Satchel is too kind or unaware to play along with Bucky's often ignorant dabs at sarcasm. Three obsessions dominate Bucky's life: Fungo Squiggly; his desire to stop the "monkey invasion"; and wanting to film a movie or TV show about himself.
 * Bill Fagerbakke as Satchel Pooch, Rob's overweight, naïve, and easily amused dog. His father, named Copernicus, a Labrador Retriever and retired guide dog, and his mother, a Shar Pei, live in Cheticamp, Nova Scotia. It is suggested by Rob's friend Joe Doman, that he is named after the Baseball Hall of Fame player Satchel Paige. Satchel is kind, gentle, and sympathetic. These traits, coupled with his naïveté and gullibility, make him a natural target for the scheming Bucky. Satchel's personality serves as foil to that of Bucky's: easy to please, optimistic to the extreme, having (barely) less common sense than Bucky, and perfectly content to peacefully coexist with everyone. He is good friends with Bucky's nemesis, Fungo Squiggly, much to Bucky's dismay.
 * Phil LaMarr as Joe Doman, Rob's co-worker, college classmate, and friend. He is also one of the few people who gets along reasonably well with Bucky. He also pet-sat Bucky and Satchel a few times. He also comments on the strange eating habits of the Wilco household when he comes over for dinner.
 * Wally Wingert as Francis Wilco, Rob's father, He is a retired firefighter and former member of the United States Marine Corps. He reluctantly pet-sits Bucky and Satchel from time to time, has thinning hair, and is usually pictured with a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
 * Tom Kenny provides the vocal effects for Fungo Squiggly, the pet ferret of the neighboring Garcia family, who is Satchel's friend and Bucky's rival. Fungo does not have any audible speaking lines throughout the series, but is able to communicate by writing out his thoughts (although Satchel can apparently understand ferret-speak). Fungo and Bucky take the impetus given by their rivalry as a chance to keep their hatred for each other going strong by setting traps for each other or playing tricks, such as Bucky challenging Fungo to a duel or Fungo stealing Bucky's closet space. The exact motive for Bucky's hatred of Fungo is unexplained, although it possible that Bucky may mistake Fungo for some sort of rodent as Bucky has referred to him as a "rat" or "rodent" at various times.
 * Carlos Alazraqui as Chubby Huggs, a portly, interminably cheerful cat who believes positive reinforcement (mostly through hugging) solves all problems, Chubby Huggs is referred to by Rob as the Dalai Lama of cats because of his peacemaking abilities. Once Chubby is locked in his hug position, he is unable to move for 10 minutes—a fact Rob used against him by tricking Chubby into hugging a teddy bear tightly so Satchel could carry him home. He once had a "little mouse friend" named Fowly Mouse who hated him and was vicious toward him, even though Chubby would take the threats as words of kindness, à la Ignatz Mouse and Krazy Kat.
 * Jeff Bennett as Mac Manc McManx, Bucky's cousin from Manchester, England. Mac speaks largely in cockney slang and is an ardent supporter of Manchester City Football Club. Mac's father arrived in England during the First Gulf War from a place Mac only remembers being called "Otis", so Rob tells Bucky that his family is from Massachusetts, to which Bucky replies, "Blast! I'm a filthy communist!!!". Mac's mother is from Hartlepool. Mac spent three and a half years at Rob's apartment and has come back and forth since that time. It is implied that Rob originally let Mac stay at the apartment since he and Satchel never came up with an effective way of getting Mac to leave.
 * Jason Marsden as Foodar, a Canadian cat who has a bizarre radar-like-seventh sense (according to Bucky all cats have 6, the sixth being knowing which humans are afraid of them or dislike them so they can sit on their laps) that allows him to detect food from up to several meters away (though he doesn't bother detecting fruit or vegetables). His name is a portmanteau of 'food' and 'radar'.
 * Cree Summer as Oreo, a friend and love interest of Satchel's from his puppy days, but over the years she seems to have lost interest in him. She has the fur patterns of a Border Collie, has black and white fur, and wears a collar with a heart shaped medallion on it.
 * Rob Paulsen as Ira Chihuahua, a generally irritable Chihuahua who first appeared in Satchel's dog conference. Ira prefers to go by his initial, I (as a play on the term "ay chihuahua"). He apparently likes to play in garbage and once contracted worms.
 * Dave Wittenberg as Shakespug, a small pug who wears a green dishwashing glove, and usually applies Shakesperian quotes to his speech. Shakespug also seems to understand Mac Manc McManx the best through his "Brit-speak".
 * Gregg Berger as Motor, a dog who is Satchel's friend. He is a 3/4 Belgian Trevuren and gets offended when someone calls him a German Shepherd.
 * Mila Kunis as Kellie, Rob's girlfriend until Bucky ruined a dinner for them prepared by Satchel by sneezing in it. Satchel said that "she [seems] nice". Bucky claims that Kellie is on his "friends" list, and says that she is "classier then most of the trash Rob dates".
