Bad Dog is a short-lived animated cartoon that aired on ABC and Teletoon during 1998. Bad dog is loosely based upon a screensaver of the same name. The cartoon focuses on the Potanski family and their dog Berkeley. The show's gimmick was that whenever Berkeley was told that he was a bad dog, he would freeze and pretend to be dead until someone told him he was a good dog. This would happen every episode.
