''Special Agent Oso'' (2009-2012) is a children's animated television series currently airing on [[Creator/DisneyChannel Disney Junior]] and seen for a couple of years when that programming block was still known as Playhouse Disney. It's about Oso, a "unique stuffed bear" who is a secret "special" agent in training working with some kind of nondescript agency, along with his training helpers, Wolfie and Dottie, and his trusty [[strike:[[WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer talking map]]]] [[IncrediblyLamePun Paw Pilot]]. Other characters include Mr. Dos, a deep-voiced man who only talks through Oso's watch, and Rapide and Whirlybird, a talking train and a talking helicopter, respectively.

* ForgetfulJones: Special Agent Oso has a tendency to almost immediately forget things he's been told, such as in "Thunder Berries" when he forgets Dottie's instructions that the invisibility paint can be washed off simply with water.

** Although, ''oso'' is also Spanish for bear.

* AdultsAreUseless: The adults on the show don't seem to help their children but rely on Oso to help them. In many cases, though, it's not so much that they're useless so much as that they have a good excuse. They may be sick, busy with a sibling, or the child simply didn't ask them for help because they wanted to try to accomplish the task without the parents' help. In certain cases, the adult was about to help the child until they got called away by something else.

* FakeInteractivity: Surprisingly, a lot, considering this is a James Bond parody. For example, after getting a Special Assignment (in some episodes):
Mr. Dos: "Your Special Assignment, [insert task to be completed]."\\
Oso: Will ''you'' help me with this Special Assignment?"\\
[{{beat}}]\\
Oso: "Great!"

* FakeInteractivity: You would not ''believe'' the sheer amount of this for a James Bond parody. For example, after getting a Special Assignment (in some episodes):

** Mr. Dos: "Your Special Assignment, [insert task to be completed]."
** Oso: Will ''you'' help me with this Special Assignment?"
** [[beat]]
** Oso: "Great!"

* RaceAgainstTheClock: EVERY episode, to the point where completion of the given 'task' must be done in less than twenty seconds.

* ShoutOut: Many, ''many'' ''Film/JamesBond'' references, all the way up to [[IncrediblyLamePun hilariously bad]] titles (ex: ''[[Film/LiveAndLetDie Live and Let Dry]]'', ''[[Film/CasinoRoyale2006 Carousel Royale]]'', ''[[Film/GoldenEye Goldenfly]]'', ''[[Film/AViewToAKill A View to a Kitten00]],'' etc.) complete with EarWorm {{Homage}}s to the original Bond movies' {{Title Theme Tune}}s...

* StrictlyFormula: Oso does a training assignment [[IdiotHero and fails]]. He is then called away to help a child by Mr. Dos and Paw Pilot assigns Oso [[EarWorm "three special steps"]] to complete the task. Paw Pilot then starts singing about the mission as [[DisneyAcidSequence a strange music video]] is shown. When he arrives, Oso follows the steps carefully when helping the child, needing the audience's help for very simple tasks. As the final step is completed [[JustInTime in the nick of time]], Oso returns to complete his training exercise, using the knowledge he got from his mission to earn his training award. Oso then receives a special assignment digi-medal for helping the child. The episode finishes off with a [[IncrediblyLamePun corny one-liner.]]
