Wish You Were Shear
Original air date: 12/2/2001
In fourteenth episode and second season premiere of Sheep in the Big City, Sheep buys a bone for Swanky as an anniversary gift, but a dogcatcher (who mistakes Sheep for a dog due to the bone) throws him in the pound, where he is adopted by Lisa Rental.
Meanwhile, Lady Richington drags Swanky along to the Greyhound Race Track.
"Wish You Were Shear" contains examples of:
- Insane Troll Logic: The episode begins with Sheep being captured by a dim-witted dogcatcher after buying a large bone he intends to give Swanky as an anniversary present. The dogcatcher concludes that Sheep is a dog on the basis that dogs like bones and that Sheep must be a dog if he's carrying around a bone.
- Pounds Are Animal Prisons: Sheep is sent to a pound that resembles a jail in the beginning of "Wish You Were Shear".
- Sequel Episode: More or less one to "To Bleat or Not to Bleat". In both episodes, Lisa Rental keeps Sheep as her pet and terrorizes him.
- Subverted Rhyme Every Occasion: The episode has a skit where Private Public and General Specific (try to) rap about food, but General Specific keeps getting the last word wrong.Private Public: If you want seconds, just say please! We'll fill your plate with macaroni and—General Specific: Sauce!
