Angela Anaconda is a [[Canadian Series|Canadian]] [[Animated Series]] starring, well, the title character. The [[Cloudcuckoolander|imaginative]] Angela and her friends, Gina Lash, Johnny Abatti, and Gordy Rhinehart, go to school with [[Alpha Bitch|Nanette]] [[French Jerk|Manoir]] and her [[Girl Posse]], and get into all sorts of wacky hijinks. The series lasted from October, 1999 to February, 2002. A total of 60 episodes.
 
How's this show different? Well, there's the [[Clip Art Animation]] (everyone is animated as a black-and-white cutout). There's also the fact that [[Once an Episode]], Angela would go into a long [[Imagine Spot]], in which Nanette Manoir (And occasionally Angela's [[Jerkass]] older brothers and Mrs. Brinks) would get elaborately humiliated. Otherwise... [[ClicheCliché Storm|yeah.]] Though it still has its fans.
 
Interesting to note, the show actully started off as a short on [[Nickelodeon]]'s ''[[Ka Blam]]''. When it was developed into its own series, it wound up on a different network (in the U.S. it was [[ABC Family|Fox Family]]). Furthermore, thanks to the network switch, Fox owned the rights to the series, leading to pretty much any episode of ''[[Ka Blam]]'' with this show's shorts caught up in copyright disputes.
 
Another interesting note is that one of the animators was Ian D'Sa, who is recognizable to Canadian rock fans as the guitarist and backup vocalist for [[Billy Talent]].
