Gofrette is about a curious little kitten who—along with his dog and bird best friends—lives through various adventures evoking the program's tag line: "... that busy, busy cat!" The show takes place in the fictional mayorless town of Zanimo and is based on the original books written by Doris Brasset and Fabienne Michot.
Gofrette. A curious kitten who makes every day in Zanimo an exciting day with his huge imagination, endless supply of hobby equipment, and a go-for-it attitude. He lives in a house with Red the Refrigerator to whom he talks and understands; with his stuffed animal, Long Ears; and with tiny, creatively active creatures he calls Gnugnuts. His cousin, Garbanzo, is an acrobat who owns and stars in El Teatro Zanimo circus. Gofrette also has a grandmother, Granny Smith, who is only mentioned and shown in photographs. Gofrette's favorite exclamation is "Zawy!", sometimes with a variation such as, "Zawy zaw zaw!".
When Ellie thinks she has ghosts she wants to move out of her tree house but instead Gofrette plans a scary sleepover there with Hamlet and his new book on how to catch ghosts. When they get caught in their own ghost trap and when the ghosts turn out to be the Purple Raccoons does the complicated situation have even a ghost of a chance of getting resolved? It's definitely a sticky solution, and a delicious one!
The crazy flu is going around and it looks like Fudge, Ellie, Red and even Wendell are all affected. Fudge, Ellie and Wendell eventually start to show improvement as they endure Gofrette's wacky remedies. But poor Red is sounding stranger and stranger until one of Gofrette's cures for the others also helps Red once again become his normal self.
"When Gofrette, Fudge and Ellie don't get to see the monster movie they've been avidly anticipating Gofrette decides they'll just have to make their own monster movie. After getting Wendell to be their Big Bad Wolf monster a fall into the swamp turns Fudge into a scary swamp monster...with Gofrette filming it all on his video camera!"
Gofrette has eaten the special blue torteloonies Garbanzo gave him for safe keeping and the cooking contest Garbanzo needs them for is tomorrow! Gofrette, with Fudge and Ellie, makes every effort to find some replacement torteloonies, but, when they eventually do, how do you make them blue? Meanwhile, Ellie attempts to tame Fudge's unwieldy ears once and for all: something that's even more impossible than finding blue torteloonies before a cooking contest
When Gofrette loses the treasure map his Granny Smith sent him two pirates get a hold of it and reach the treasure first. Gofrette, Fudge and Ellie dress as pirates in order to get their treasure back and even risk going on board the pirate ship, surprising Pirate Pete and Captain Bad Beard -- and themselves - in the process.
When the strange Mr. Babaloonie comes to town in a hot air balloon shaped like a flying saucer Hamlet tries to prove Mr. Babaloonie is an alien from outer space. Hamlet's investigation leads to him getting stuck in a runaway air balloon with Gofrette and Ellie who jump in to help. It's dangerous, it's perilous and it's a good thing Gofrette has been learning to make balloons shaped like animals
Garbanzo has made Gofrette the director of the opera at El Teatro Zanimo, and Greta is his star diva with a serious attitude. The night before the grand opening Greta loses her voice and Gofrette and Fudge must find a replacement. A fabulous mystery singer was heard from a distance but will they find her or him before the opening performance?
Gofrette, Fudge and Ellie are going to work at Hamlet's annual spring carwash when they find out they've been replaced by his new carwash machine. Still wanting to help people the trio don super hero outfits and become Zanimo Man, Wagon Man and Super Buffer Girl. As they go about helping people—whether they want help or not—they had no idea it would ultimately be up to them to save the bubble infested town from Hamlet's super carwash machine
When Garbanzo asks for help at El Teatro Zanimo Gofrette assumes he and Fudge are going to be helping out by performing up on the trapeze. Ellie is alarmed because the trapeze is very dangerous. When they find out it is all a misunderstanding everyone feels much better...until they actually do end up saving Ellie on the trapeze and, ready or not, part of the big trapeze extravaganza
Some unions are based on trust
Some unions are a must
Trussed up like a turkey
Upside down on a turn key-you and me
some like it on the other side
Others like to play both sides
CHORUS
Big Girls big joys big toys
I got you covered
I got you covered
I'll give you gristle-you blow the whistle
Waiter service-wait for this miss
And don't you diss this-this is bliss miss
Around the world with this Miss
Disgusting lewd rudeness
Secretly seductive, spontaneous combustive
Happiness a penis-I give I give I give...
CHORUSYou can wear high heals in unusual places
And different situations can fit into new faces
Somebody's like to roll in a sleaze
Never mind me-just do as you please
All these implications
All these connotations
The pleasure in the leisure
Without the complications
CHORUS
I give I give I give...
