Project G.e.e.K.e.R. was an animated TV show that first aired on CBS on September 14, 1996. It was created by Douglas TenNapel, who also made Earthworm Jim. Doug Langdale, who helped develop the Earthworm Jim animated series, also worked on Project G.e.e.K.e.R.. The show featured original music by Shawn Patterson.

This action-adventure, comedy, and science fiction series only lasted for one season. It was canceled in 1997 because the network decided to change its Saturday morning cartoon lineup. The show was also not approved as "educational" by the Federal Communications Commission, which sets rules for children's TV.

What is Project G.e.e.K.e.R. About?

The show is a funny take on action-adventure cartoons. It takes place in the future and centers around a special experiment called Project GKR. This experiment created a creature known as "GeeKeR," who can change his shape.

GeeKeR was stolen by Lady MacBeth before he could get all his programming. Without this final programming, GeeKeR isn't a dangerous weapon. Instead, he's a clumsy, four-fingered creature who drools a lot. He can only sometimes use his shape-shifting powers fully.

Lady MacBeth is a short-tempered robot-human with a bionic arm. She calls GeeKeR "Becky." Her partner is Noah, an intelligent T-Rex who wears a baseball cap. Together, they must stop the evil Mister Moloch and GeeKeR's creator, Dr. Maston, from getting GeeKeR back.

Who Are the Main Characters?

The show features a talented group of voice actors who bring the characters to life.

  • Billy West as G.e.e.K.e.R. and other voices.
  • Cree Summer as Lady MacBeth, Nanny, Sonny, and other voices.
  • Charles Adler as Dr. Maston, Jake Dragonn, Gene Damage, and other voices.
  • Jim Cummings as Mister Moloch, Will Dragonn, Cosmotto, and other voices.
