Line 6:
A [[Cartoon Network]] animated series created by the husband-and-wife team of Timothy and Julie [McNally] Cahill that aired from 2005 to 2008.
 
Due to a clerical error involving a misspelled last name, a middle-school aged human named Adam Lyon is sent to attend Charles Darwin Middle School: a school for [[Talking Animal|talking zoo animals]]. Rather than fix [[Stranger in Aa Strange School|this problem]], he befriends an animal named Jake Spidermonkey and deals with the obvious problems of being a human in an environment made solely for animals.
