History Series / OneHundredDeedsForEddieMcDowd

* MoodWhiplash: The theme song was originally a sad soft rock ballad about Eddie's plight. Come the second season, "Who Let the Dogs Out?" by the Baha Men became the theme. It's a grating change to say the least.

* MagicalHomelessPerson: The mysterious drifer who cursed the title character into turning into a dog.

''100 Deeds for Eddie [=McDowd=]'' is a show on {{Creator/Nickelodeon}} in the late [[TheNineties '90s]] and early '00s. The title character was a bully, [[BalefulPolymorph turned into a dog]] after messing with the wrong hobo, with the condition that he would only change back if he did 100 good deeds. Aside from the man who put the curse on Eddie, the only person that can hear the dog Eddie talk is Justin Taylor, the last kid that Eddie bullied as a human. HilarityEnsues.

* BalefulPolymorph: Drives the show's premise.

* DespairEventHorizon: In one episode, Eddie nearly kills himself to save Justin, and gets one deed. He enters a despair event horizon because of this, and decides to give up on good deeds and stay a dog. It’s so bad that the normally snarky Drifter actually pleads with Eddie to not give up. It takes him nearly killing himself again to save Justin again, and getting another good deed, to realize he still has a chance.

* InstantSedation: Averted in "Dog Day Out." Eddie gets an oral sedative at the vet that takes an hour to kick in -- plenty of time for drugged up shenanigans to ensue.

* JustHereForGodzilla: If you love [[Music/{{M83}} M83]], then you're here just to see current band member, Morgan Kibby at a young age.

* LiteralTransformativeExperience: This is the main premise behind the show, Eddie's actions while transformed proving whether or not he's become a better person in the process. Unfortunately, the series was cancelled before Eddie made serious progress in that direction.

* ParentalFavoritism / SadistTeacher: Averted. Justin's father is the ShopClass teacher, and is ''extra'' hard on Justin despite him being actually ''quite'' competent.

* RecycledPremise: Of the short lived 1980s show ''The 100 Lives Of Black Jack Savage''.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: The Drifter is trying to to teach Eddie to stop being a JerkAss (Eddie nearly crossed the MoralEventHorizon when they crossed paths), but does he really have to be a dick about it? It probably wasn't a good idea to erase his entire family off the face of the Earth (seriously).

* [[CursedWithAwesome Cursed With Okay]]: Eddie eventually starts to like being a dog.

* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The man who cursed Eddie is known only as "The Drifter" - a possible shoutout to Creator/RobertAHeinlein's Literature/AllYouZombies'', perhaps?
