Kenny the Shark is a Discovery Kids original series, premiering in late 2003. The series is about the eponymous tiger shark moving out of the ocean, and getting adopted by 10-year-old shark fanatic, Katarina "Kat" Cassidy. Much like other shows on Discovery Kids at the time, Kenny the Shark regularly referenced real-life facts about the show's main subject, sharks, in each episode. The show premiered on NBC's Discovery Kids on NBC from November 1, 2003, to February 19, 2005, with two seasons and 26 episodes.

Special Delivery (S1E1b)

Kenny eats the anniversary present meant for Kat's mom. Kenny is shown briefly stuffed when Kat tries and fails to get him to throw up the present by feeding him more inedible objects.

Bill Me Later (S1E5a)

After stealing from a neighbor, Kenny joins a meat-of-the-day club and binges on a large package of meat. Oddly, Kenny only appears full after eating the now-empty box which lasts until he goes for a walk with Kat.

He becomes bloated again when he eats the third package without opening it and stays that way until after the family finds his bill.

He's Gotta Have It (S1E10a)

Kat takes Kenny to a sushi restaurant for his birthday and he becomes obsessed with sushi. He soon dons a paper-thin disguise to fool the owners and eat the rest of the restaurant's stock when he's unable to afford any more of the dish.

Whaling on Kenny (S2E1b)

Kat thinks Kenny needs a sea animal friend and sets him up with Captain Aham's new pet Orca, Buster. Needless to say, Kenny's natural predator starts to bully him and he eventually gets swallowed whole trying to stand up for himself.

Regime Change (S2E3a)

At some point before the episode, Kenny gained weight and Kat finds that he's now ½ ton overweight. The rest of the episode has Kat attempting to get Kenny to lose weight so he doesn't develop health complications.

Marty is shown to have gained weight at the end of the episode.

Antiques Roadshark (S2E7b)

Kat takes Kenny to an antique show while she tries to make easy money and he eats several antiques. He throws up the antiques and Kat unknowingly resells them back to show until Kenny finally gets caught after eating all of the antiques.

How To Succeed In Business (S2E8b)

Kat and Kenny eventually try to franchise her dad's business when Kenny accidentally angers him multiple times. Kat lacks collateral for a loan, so Kenny eats the bank's ATM so he shower her in money to cheer her up. The ATM briefly creates a clear bulge in Kenny's stomach until he comically pushes it down and walks off.

Bed And Breakfast (S2E12b)

Oscar briefly stays over at Kat's house while his parents are out of town and Kenny makes them chum-based snacks. Kenny swallows the couch due to its chum smell and thinks he ate Oscar who, in reality, was taken home early by his parents. Once again, the object leaves a noticeable bulge on Kenny's gut until he pushes down.

Lawn Shark (S2E13a)

Kat wants to win something best described as an early smartphone and pledges to sell 250 candy bars. Kenny and Marty end up eating all the bars when Kat leaves them out in the open.
