==Overview==
The series takes place in the fictional city of [[Busytown]] and mainly stars [[Huckle Cat]], [[Lowly Worm]] and many of the other residents of Busytown. Every character in the series is an anthropomorphic animal, most commonly [[pig]]s, [[fox]]es, breeds of [[dogs]], [[mice]], [[rabbit]]s, [[goat]]s, and [[cat]]s. Each episode always features a conflict (which is eventually resolved in the end). However, episodes featuring other anthropomorphic animals, like Couscous catching Pépé le Gangstaire and his dirty [[rat]]s, Sam and Dudley, Sneef and Sniff, Cucumber and Pickles, etc. have taken place outside of Busytown in other places around the world.
