Farmer John (voiced by James Godwin) is Sheep's original owner, also seeking to recapture him-although in a more mild-mannered way than General Specific.On his uniform, he has 3 medals that look like exclamation marks, and one that looks like a question mark. In one episode, he also developed the habit of throwing his subordinates into "The Pit" (a trapdoor, appearing out of nowhere under the characters' feet) (he once did it to the subordinate who asked him why he does not simply catch some random sheep and make the Sheep-Powered Ray Gun compatible to it), but later, finds out that this is a problem, when neither he nor Private Public can maneuver the helicopter properly, because Specific dropped the helicopter pilot into the Pit. He mentions in one episode that he has a steel plate in his head. Specific always speaks through his clenched teeth. He is never discouraged by his constant losses. The ruthless and ambitious leader of the Secret Military Organization, Specific does his best to capture Sheep for his Sheep-Powered Ray Gun. General Specific (voiced by Kevin Seal) is the main antagonist of the series.As he is a normal sheep, aside from possibly higher intelligence, he has trouble resisting his animal urges, such as eating grass, even when he is being chased by General Specific. Sheep bleats but does not speak in any intelligible human language. Yet, he still makes time to act in dish-washing commercials, travel through time, get a job at a hip club, and also makes a living jumping over fences for insomniacs. Sheep has a hard time with life-between getting chased by the military and trying to see Swanky the Poodle, the poodle that Sheep loves, without getting bonked on the head by Lady Richington with her stainless steel wig. He is owned by Farmer John, who named him Sheep due to the fact that he was a plucky little sheep. Sheep (voiced by Kevin Seal) is an anthropomorphic sheep, who is the main protagonist of the series. ![]() All the while, he has to avoid the attentions of a host of unwelcome characters-Lisa Rentel and Swanky's owner, the sheep-hating Lady Richington, wielding a stainless-steel wig. In addition, Sheep has to come to grips with the Big City and trying to romance his love, Swanky the Poodle. Now Sheep is on the run from General Specific, who is assisted by his henchmen, Private Public, the Angry Scientist (who in the show is often wrongly referred to as ' Mad Scientist'), a bunch of other military types, and the Plot Device. General Specific will get Sheep at any cost, and, knowing that the farm is at stake, Sheep is forced to leave for the big city. Unfortunately, a Secret Military Organization, led by General Specific, needs Sheep for its Sheep-Powered Ray Gun (with a sheep-shaped hole in it). Sheep lives happily on a farm with his friends. This was Cartoon Network's first original series produced by the animation studio Curious Pictures, who would later go on to produce Codename: Kids Next Door in 2002.

It also features several unrelated sketches and shorts, similar to those from The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends. The series follows a runaway sheep named Sheep in his new life in "the Big City", where he tries to avoid a secret military organization.

Maybe that wouldn't be so bad were it not for the fact that you can't talk and therefore can't tell your housemates who you really are.Sheep in the Big City is an American animated television series created by Mo Willems for Cartoon Network. ![]() ![]()
