Jim Conroy, Ruff's voice, was also the voice of Kenny on Discovery Kids' animated series Kenny the Shark.

At the end of the show, each contestant is awarded points, leading up to the final episode in each season and the crowning of another Grand Champion.Ī handy animated machine manned by Ruff, called the Fetch 3000, divides the young contestants (excuse us, Fetchers) into three groups: Some of them (the exact number changes from episode to episode, but the "Fetch Fairness Guarantee" ensures that all contestants are given an equal opportunity for points by the end of the show) charge to the front of Studio G - otherwise known as "Ruff's garage", though he always insists that it isn't – to collect their missions from the mailbox, with Ruff's cheery yell of "Now g-o-o-o Fetch!" accompanying them. The contestants who stay behind have to answer trivia questions about the challenges during the Half-Time Quiz Show. Ruff sends some of them (and occasionally all of them) out on various challenges. These change each season, but are generally middle-school aged kids. And then starting in season three there is Ruff's assistant Chet, a mouse, who almost never does anything the way Ruff would actually like him to.Įach episode generally follows a standard format, with the introduction of the six contestants. There is the cat, Princess Blossom Pepper-Doodle Von Yum Yum who started season two as Ruff's assistant, and then in season three became his producer. The host is Ruff Ruffman, an animated dog who, as it is explained in the catchy opening tune, got bored with normal dog things and decided to host a game show. It is also a Spiritual Successor to Zoom.

FETCH! with Ruff Ruffman (2006-2010) is a PBS show that is part game show, part parody of game shows, and part reality TV (the children who take the roles of contestants actually have to go out and do something, ranging from adventures in space camp to working out a "haunted castle", but they also have interactions with the titular dog and each other inside a sort of hub for the show).
