Producing Parker is an adult animated television sitcom that debuted May 4, 2009 on TVtropolis.[1][2] Episodes began airing on Global in fall 2009.[3]

The plot revolves around the behind-the-scenes antics of a female-targeted daytime television talk show, and stars Parker Kovak (Kristin Booth), the producer of "The Dee Show", and Dee (Kim Cattrall), its self-absorbed and high maintenance host.[4] The show's cast also includes Peter Keleghan and Aaron Abrams.

Cattrall was awarded a Gemini for "Best Performance in an Animated Program or Series" in 2010.

The series is co-produced by Breakthrough Animation and Philippine Animators Group Inc. in association with CanWest Global and was confirmed for a second season set for February 2011. The second season officially premiered April 8, 2011 on Canada's TVtropolis. The series was not renewed for a third season.

Characters

  • Parker Kovak (voiced by Kristin Booth): The overworked, underpaid daytime talk show producer of The Dee Show. A kind-hearted but mildly neurotic woman in her late twenties. She is of Eastern-European descent.
  • Dee (voiced by Kim Cattrall): The ageless, alcoholic, nymphomaniac, very glamorous and very high maintenance star of The Dee Show. She was raised by a family of cougars in the California mountains.
  • Simon Nolan (voiced by Aaron Abrams): The left wing, slacker writer for The Dee Show, and Parker's good friend who has a relatively secret crush on her.
  • Chicago Hyatt (voiced by Sarah Cornell): Parker's beautiful, yet under-qualified "loose" blonde intern, as well as her unwitting confidant. She is also Blake's third cousin.
  • Blake Bellamy (voiced by Peter Keleghan): The young, charming, absent-minded British station owner of Bellamy Broadcasting, and cousin of Chicago. Parker has a crush on him and he has, as he puts it, "some sort of feeling" for her.
  • Massimo (voiced by Jamie Watson): Parker's talking dog, and her main companion. A refined canine friend who enjoys the fine arts, good wine and endlessly chasing his own tail.
  • Hal (voiced by David Huband): Handy man and operator on The Dee Show. Also known to be a contractor/olympic diver/dog groomer/ordained satanist minister.
  • Russell (voiced by Jamie Watson): Dee's flamboyant, image-driven gay personal stylist and best friend.
  • Victoria Lafayette (voiced by Karen LeBlanc): Victoria is the charitative host of The Victoria Show whom Dee sees as her enemy and who once hired Parker as her producer. She runs several international charities. She physically resembles Queen Latifah and her personality is similar to Oprah's.
  • Antique Annie (voiced by Julie Lemieux): She is the elderly host of an Antiques roadshow style show. In the episode "Dee Mother Load" it is hinted that she is Dee's biological mother.
  • Dr. William Perry (voiced by Martin Roach): A chemist and relationship fidelity expert who is featured as a recurrent guest on The Dee Show and also acts as a de facto physician for the show's crew.
  • James Hard (voiced by Peter Keleghan): Television news anchor of "Hard News Report"
  • Jeremy: Chicago's friend and lover, and also works as the mail carrier of The Dee Show.
