The Moxy Show, also known as The Moxy Pirate Show and The Moxy & Flea Show,[lower-alpha 3] is an American animated anthology television series produced by Colossal Pictures for Cartoon Network. It consists of classic cartoons inter-spliced with segments featuring commentary from Moxy the anthropomorphic dog, who purportedly works for Cartoon Network as a janitor but secretly hijacks their signal every Sunday. The Moxy Show was Cartoon Network's first exclusive original programming and was created out of Cartoon Network's desire for an animated host that could be aired live. They contracted Colossal Pictures to develop the character and the motion capture technology to realize Cartoon Network's vision. Moxy would be voiced by Bobcat Goldthwait, while Colossal Pictures' software would use John Stevenson as an actor for Moxy's movements. The series first aired as The Moxy Pirate Show on December 5, 1993, before being rebranded as The Moxy Show on November 6, 1994, alongside the introduction of a new character named Flea, who serves as Moxy's sidekick. The series run ended on May 25, 1996, reportedly due to poor audience reception, and has become lost media.
