Sheep in the Big City is an American animated television series which ran on Cartoon Network for two seasons, from November 2000 to April 2002. Created by Mo Willems, the bulk of the show follows a runaway sheep, Sheep, in its new life in "the Big City." It also features several unrelated sketches and shorts, similar to The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show. With an emphasis on more "sophisticated" (in particular, literal) humor, using multiple forms of rhetoric from the characters to the plots, it was more popular with older audiences. It was also unusual in featuring many comic references to film-making and television broadcasting, although this is often overlooked.
The first season was available on iTunes (except the pilot episode, which is only available as a bonus cartoon on the Powerpuff Girls DVD "Powerpuff Bluff"). However, it was taken off of iTunes for unknown reasons.
Members of the Secret Military Organization have included General Specific, General Dentistry, General Public, Major Television Event, Major Attitude, Major Pain, Major Know-it-All, Private Public, Private Thoughts, Private Whatever, the Plot Device, the Angry Scientist, a man named Wally, and a man who is not Sheep.
