Zoey McMullen/Tropes

Zoey McMullen is an animated series created by The Powerpuff Girls creator Craig McCracken, and his first-non Cartoon Network show. It follows the adventures of a sassy yet responsible PPG-like character who lives on her own in the Funny Animal town of Theodore Street, accompanied by a jackalope, an elephant and a coyote.

The series premiered on Disney XD in September 17, 2009 for three 20-episode seasons, ending on TBA, 2012.

Tropes

 * Absent-Minded Professor: Dr. Slithers.
 * Adorably Precocious Child: Zoey is a 6-year old girl who lives on her own and mostly acts like a responsible teenager.
 * Adorkable: Zoey at times.
 * Animation Bump: Episodes animated by Rough Draft Studios tend to resemble the animation from Season 5-6 episodes of The Powerpuff Girls, while episodes animated by Toon City and Synergy Animation are more fast-paced and fluid.
 * Art Shift: Zoey's nightmare in "Nightmare Frightmare" is animated in a Robot Chicken-esque stop-motion style courtesy of Screen Novelties.
 * Badass Adorable: Zoey can be quite tough, whether provoked or unprovoked.
 * Bears Are Bad News: The episode "Conrad and the Lost Disc" features a band of grizzly bears called The Bad Bears, who make insulting songs about people.
 * Berserk Button: The Zoey clones in "Zoey's Multi-Trouble" HATE being called "stupid" and "useless", which leads to them attacking Zoey after she (accidentally) does so.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: Zoey.
 * Canada, Eh?: The main character herself eats pancakes with maple syrup and says "eh".
 * Catch-Phrase: Zoey occasionally punctuates her dialogue with the Canadian interjection of "eh".
 * Christmas Episode: "Merry Christmas, Zoey McMullen!"
 * Deadpan Snarker: Zoey can make pretty sarcastic remarks when she wants to. Jackie and Conrad probably count too.
 * Determinator: Zoey.

 * Feathered Fiend: The titular criminal in "Sneaky Beaky".
 * Funny Foreigner: The absent-minded serpent scientist, Dr. Slithers, speaks with a German accent combined with his Sssssnake Talk.
 * Furry Confusion: Regular non-anthropomorphic animals sometimes appear when the plot demands it.
 * Furry Reminder:
 * Melissa makes trumpeting noises whenever she's scared and occasionally uses her trunk like a third arm.
 * Conrad sometimes howls like a real coyote whenever he cries out of sadness.
 * Dr. Slithers moves around in the same manner real snakes do.

 * Honorable Elephant: Melissa, despite her bumbling.
 * Hypocritical Humor: Conrad will sometimes comment on something that his friends do that he does.
 * Improbable Age: Zoey often gets small jobs like a one-man band, etc. Then again, she acts like a responsible teenager.

 * Interspecies Friendship: Zoey's friends are a jackalope, an elephant and a coyote.
 * Invisible Parents:
 * Zoey's parents never appear at all, not even a single mention.
 * Jackie occasionally makes mentions of his father, who, like Zoey's parents, never appears either.
