September 6, 1998 - January 30, 2019

Oggy and the Cockroaches (French: Oggy et les Cafards) is a French comedy-adventure animated television seriesproduced by Gaumont Multimedia (first two seasons) and Xilam Animation (third season onwards), and created by Jean-Yves Raimbaud, co-creator of Space Goofs, who died during production of Oggy's first season. It loosely resembles the American animated franchise Tom and Jerry by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. The show employs silent comedy: characters either do not speak or use unintelligible vocalizations and gestures. The show premiered in September 1998 on France 3, and later expanded internationally.

In September 2020, a reboot series was announced, entitled Oggy and the Cockroaches: Next Generation, in which Oggy takes care of Piya, a seven-year-old female elephant from India. It was released worldwide in Netflix on July 28, 2022, with 13 episodes compiling 6 segments. Although it differs noticeably from the original in terms of its visuals and tone, Gulli labels it as Oggy's eighth season.

Storyline[]

Lazy cats Oggy and Jack enjoy living a simple life -- eating and watching TV are among his favorite hobbies. Unfortunately, his roommates often get in the way of his laziness. Those roommates are tiny cockroaches Joey, Marky and Dee Dee, who like to cause mayhem like raiding Oggy's fridge, making big messes and forcing the cat to clean up after them. Despite the trouble they cause, Oggy secretly misses the little critters when they're not around. Also part of Oggy's life is nature-loving neighbor Olivia, who is his love interest. And not so friendly neighbor Bob, who seems to beat Oggy or Jack up whenever they trespass on his property.
