The Ancient Dogoo Girl

2009–2010 · 2 seasons

A gleefully silly monster-of-the-week romp full of rubbery creatures, slapstick and shameless innuendo that never takes itself seriously.

The ending theme is Denki Groove's "Dareda!". In October 2010, Dogoo Girl premiered its sequel The Ancient Dogoo Girls.
