The Misadventures of Gecko

The Misadventures of Gecko is a long running American-Canadian television series created by Son of Hat. Just like the title of the series says, the series format follows the exploits of Gecko McKek, and his friends, who mainly have strange, and just plain random adventures around their world. The series is famous for its comedic, surreal humor.

The series first seasons started out as a 5 minute shorts. However, later on as the show matured episodes began to run by 11 minutes to an hour.

The Misadventures of Gecko received critical acclaim for it's unusual humor, themes, and atmosphere. It had many spinoff media including, web shows, shorts, books, even three feature length films.

The series is like The Simpsons and The Sherry Show, it is not yet ready to end. The show was first given the TV-Y7-FV rating on Nickelodeon, but switched to a TV-PG rating after reviving on Kingson.

A town seeming quite place filled with chaos (which is usually brought by the main characters).

Main Characters

 * Gecko McKek: The title character who is a 12 (later 13-15) year old lizard who can be a rude and lazy mess, yet can still be a friendly guy who cares about all his friends. He is commonly acrobatic and energetic, but can sometimes be clumsy. Gecko usually doesn't think twice before getting into serious trouble, however, he always finds a way to solve the problem.


 * M-Bunny: A rabbit who is best friends with Gecko. He believes that he is the self proclaim leader of the gang, and dreams to be a town hero. M-Bunny can be a little bit selfish and cowardly on many occasions.
