Biscuit the Dog

Biscuit the Dog (also known as simply Biscuit or Biscuit the Little Yellow Puppy (the latter name is a misnomer, and is used as an attempt to hook pre-schoolers and younger audiences to watching the series)) is a Canadian/American animated sitcom of sorts on AMC Kids. It premiered on September 7, 1998 on YTV, made its American debut on Nickelodeon on August 16, 1999, and debuted on Time Warner Cable Kids in spring 2000 (in order to keep up with its increasing popularity with the channel's target audience).

Plot
Based on the Adventures of Pets book series featuring the same characters, Biscuit is a fully-animated sitcom for pre-teens that focuses on the misadventures of the titular Golden Retriever and his friends as they go through life in the fictional universe of Dog Town (which is a large misnomer; there is way more than dogs in Dog Town). There are two versions of the programme; a half-hour version featuring only the animated part of the show, and a full-hour version featuring puppets, two animated stories, and live-action sequences laced between the feature presentation (the latter version was used only on AMC Kids up until Season 15).

Each episode focuses on a different topic (ex. the dangers of drug use, the adventures of either the young or adult characters, etc.), which is coupled up with a B-plot which is either loosely related or unrelated to the main topic of the overall episode. In the TWCK/AMCK-exclusive version, the episode starts out with a puppet sequence, where Biscuit and the rest of the plush toys in Sammy Brown's room do things related to the topic of the episode, followed by a 30-minute animated sequence, a 5-minute live-action sequence that too follows the topic of the day, another puppet sequence, and an additional animated sequence.
