Sheep in the Big City is an American animated television series which ran on Cartoon Network for two seasons, from November 17, 2000, to April 7, 2002. The series' pilot first premiered as part of Cartoon Network's "Cartoon Cartoon Summer" on August 18, 2000. Created by Mo Willems, the bulk of the show follows a runaway sheep, Sheep, in its new life in "the Big City". It also features several unrelated sketches and shorts, similar to The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show. With an emphasis on more "sophisticated" humor, using multiple forms of rhetoric from the characters to the plots, it was more popular with older audiences. It was also unusual in featuring many comic references to film-making and television broadcasting. At the time, the premiere of Sheep in the Big City was the highest-rated premiere for a Cartoon Network original series.

In the baa-ginning
Be still my bleating heart
To bleat or not to bleat
Belle of the baaah
Going off the sheep end
Home for the baa-lidays
Can't live without ewe
15 muttons of fame (aka they'll flock to see ewe)
The agony of de-bleat
Baa-ck in time
Fleeced to meet you
A star is shorn
Mistaken identi-sheep
To sheep, perchance to dream
Wish you were shear
Baah-dern times
Flock, up in the sky
My, how ewe have changed
Party of the shear
The wool of the people
Daddy shearest
The wool is not enough
Beauty and the bleats
An officer and a gentlelamb
Oh, the ewemanity
Here goes mutton
Baa-hind the scenes
