Sharky & George (Original name Sharky et Georges) is a children's animated series, produced by animation studios CinéGroupe and Label 35 between 1990 and 1992. The series consisted of fifty-two 25 minute episodes, including two 12 minute editions which were sometimes aired separately. The series was later translated into English and shown in the United Kingdom on Channel 4 from 1991 to 1998.
Sharky & George is set in the underwater city of Seacago, populated by various kinds of fish. The protagonists are two fish private detectives who run their own agency. Sharky, the bigger fish, is a rather lazy pink shark with a huge nose, and wears a Humphrey Bogart-style fedora hat. George, the smaller fish, is blue with a yellow face, and is younger than Sharky. Together the two friends combat the mad plans of conquest of the many villains and gangs that are terrorizing Seacago, including Lefty Hook, Harry Flix, the three thugs: Nova, Scotia and Lox, the Piranhas, Fishy Ben Backstabber, Dr. Medusa (Dr. Jelly in English versions; mad scientist and self-proclaimed master of the world), Ray Manta and the electric Torpedo Rays, the Fish Fry Gang, and Red Lobster (Colonel Klaw in English versions; German commander of the army of Black Crab).
The show was also shown on SABC in South Africa. The show was broadcast in Afrikaans on television along with an English simulcast broadcast on radio. The English dub of the show also aired in South Africa where it aired on M-Net as part of their children's block K-T.V. and later on Bop TV in 2001 airing on its children's block Teeny Bop.
