What's with Andy? is a Canadian animated series that debuted in September 2001. It was originally an interactive Flash movie with completely different voice actors and a promotion for FOX Kids. However, it ended up airing on Teletoon.
The protagonist of the series is Andy Larkin, a mischievous teen who calls himself the "world's greatest prankster". The show follows him as he tries to perform incredibly well-thought out and elaborate practical jokes on people. He lives in the fictional town of East Gackle, Alberta (2nd and 3rd seasons only). He constantly breaks the fourth wall when the screen freezes.
Andy's best friend, Danny Pickett, helps him out with almost every prank. He's enemies with his sister, Jen Larkin, and the bullies Peter Lik and Andrew Leech. Andy lusts for a girl named Lori Mackney and usually tries to impress her.
The show ran every morning on ABC Family at 8:00 a.m. E.T. from September 2001 until April 2002. It was also seen at 3:30 p.m. Eastern/2:30 p.m. C.T. on Toon Disney for a short time in early 2005. It now airs on TeleToon throughout the day.

[edit] Trivia
- This entire show is based on Andy Griffiths' children's series of Just books, although the majority of episodes are not based on the books. In fact, in place of Just Joking's Terrible Christmas and a Crappy New Year, there is an entirely new Christmas special, most likely because the word "crap" is generally frowned upon by children's networks, despite a season of Hey Arnold! in which it was allowed for Helga Pataki to use the word often. Other changes include Andy's last name, which was originally that of his creator, and other minor name changes that were in essence pointless.
- Andy's best friend's last name has always been Pickett, even since the book series. The name "Danny Pickett" is derived from Jim Kjelgaard's Big Red.
- The setting of the first season of What's with Andy is in the USA while in the second season, they all have been relocated to Canada. It is very evident in the episode "rhyme time" that they lived in the USA because of the American history that Andy recited and that the second language they were taught was Spanish.
