''Bad Dog'' is a Canadian animated series produced by Saban Entertainment and CinéGroupe for the Teletoon and Fox Family networks. The cartoon focused on the Potanski family and their dog Berkeley. The show's gimmick was that, whenever Berkeley was told that he was a bad dog, he would freeze and pretend to be dead until someone told him he was a good dog. This would happen in every episode. The show was inspired by the popular ''After Dark'' screensaver "Bad Dog". The two dogs have a similar appearance, and the "Bad Dog" of the show is named Berkeley, a likely reference to Berkeley Systems, the creators of After Dark.〔http://kidscreen.com/1999/05/01/25309-19990501/〕 The show was paired with another series called ''Monster Farm''. ==Characters== * Berkeley aka "Barky": The not-so-normal dog owned by the Potanski family who likes having adventures and always gets everyone into trouble. He appears to have a compulsion to obey every order he hears, including those that were not given to him. As a running gag, he passes out when he hears ''Bad Dog'' and wakes up when he hears ''Good Dog''. * "Little Vic" Potanski: The younger Potanski son. He loves Berkeley extremely. * Penelope Potanski: The sole Potanski daughter. She likes her beauty, and also seems to have something of a penitent for the theatre. * Trevor Potanski: The easily panicked genius older son with a like of playing chess. He wears glasses. He also has a large amount of allergies and phobias. * Mr. and Mrs. Potanski: The parents of Vic, Penelope, and Trevor and the owners of Berkeley.
