Removed from main article: This list of French TV Studios (that broadcast the show?) may become useful at some point, but not right now. Raises a question though... was the show French, or French Canadian? JaffaCakeLover (talk) 00:04, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
National origin edit
Like JaffaCakeLover commented in the previous section, I wonder if Sharky and George is a French-Canadian or French production. Certainly, Cinegroupe is French-Canadian. I don't know about the other studio, Label 35. At the very least, we have to credit Canada in addition to France in the article (and the summary box on the right side. I'd do that but I don't know how).Nojamus (talk) 22:38, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
Episode! edit
I have just found an online vid of an actual episode! http://www.veoh.com/videos/v1472864Tt2BFbfY?rank=4&
A good find - First thing i've seen that isn't the intro or title card in over a decade!
Also found this: A title sequence for a non-english speaking country [is the audio French? Are the titles Arabic?], which is extended by using series footage! http://video.aol.com/video-detail/sharky-wa-george/2028295098/?icid=VIDURVMUS04

Sporadic Episode list edit
Amazon UK has the 4 VHS Cassettes listed [as used], and gives the episode titles. Each tape listed as 60 minutes in duration.
It doesn't say what order the tapes are in though, and of course only names 16 out of 78 stories!
(I also wonder if Plankton is meant to be spelt like that)
