Sharky & George is set in the underwater city of Seacago, populated by various kinds of fish. The protagonists are two fish private detectives who run their own agency. Sharky, the bigger fish, is a pink shark and wears a Humphrey Bogart-style fedora hat. George, the smaller fish, is blue with a yellow face, and is younger than Sharky. Together the two friends combat the mad plans of conquest of the many villains and gangs that are terrorizing Seacago.
Compare Fish Police, an American show with a similar premise.
Tropes:
- Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: Sharky is a bright pink shark.
- Awesome Underwater World: to the point that it trumps Fish Police for the title. Seacago is a bustling underwater city.
- Buddy Cop Show: An undersea variant, Sharky and George are two detective fishes who go around Seacago solving crimes and arresting criminals.
- Commie Nazis: Red Lobster's army combines both Soviet and Nazi imagery, with himself featuring a Cold War-sounding title and his black crabs being styled as stormtroopers (and Lobster also having a German accent). Averted in dubs where he's called Colonel Klaw, which removes the red part.
- Detective Animal: The eponymous duo, two fish detectives solving underwater crime.
- Dub Name Change: Depending on the dub, the lobster villain is named either Red Lobster or Colonel Klaw. Or there is also the European Spanish dub, which uses both names (presumably the first of them as an-universe nickname or codename).
- Mad Scientist: Doctor Medusa (Dr. Jelly in the english dub), a jellyfish supervillain and scientist who is one of the recurring villains.
- Red Live Lobster: One of the villains is a German-accented lobster who is named either Red Lobster or Colonel Klaw depending on the dub. As the former name indicates, he's a red lobster, though it's relatively downplayed, as only his back and claws are red, whereas his face and abdomen is grey. The trope is averted with his minions, who are black crabs.
- Tailfin Walking: Fish in the show tend to stand and walk on the sea bottom on their tail fins, though other times they are capable of swimming.
- Water Is Air: Fires are shown despite the underwater setting, Sharky and George are capable of falling off cliffs.
