The Calvin and Hobbes Show (2024 Series)

Premise
The show is based off the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip. While not explicitly mentioned, the show is set in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, Bill Watterson's hometown. Episodes revolve around the everyday adventures of Calvin and Hobbes, going on various adventures, wagon-rides, and other things that often lead to trouble and chaos occurring. Other episodes feature Calvin and Hobbes pulling pranks on next-door neighbor Susie Derkins, G.R.O.S.S. meetings taking place, time-travelling or space escapades, or running away from and fighting the occasional villain.

The show is set in the modern day, though it is apparent and clear that Calvin's Father still enjoys living in the past, much to Calvin's annoyance. References to past strips are also brought up, indicating that the show is in the same continuity as the strip.

Despite not appearing until the last few months of the original strips run, Galaxoid and Nubular make frequent appearances, usually requesting assistance from Calvin and Hobbes. The alien pair are also in clash with (and also fear of) Lord Jorgenstein, a ruthless alien overlord bent on trying to conquer the entire galaxy. Additional new characters include Superintendent Barnes, the superintendent of Calvin's school district, who is easily annoyed by Calvin's antics. He frequently is attempting to be impressed by Principal Spittle, usually in order to try and convince Barnes not to fire him and try and get him away from Calvin. Other new characters include Special Agent Barry Boris, who is often called to investigate happenings, and is always trying to build a casefile against someone. Two other villains in the show include Dr. Zenith, a mad-scientist who is bent on world domination, and Rufus, Dr. Zenith's less than intelligent assistant, but also proves to be incredibly destructive at times.
