Klutter is a segment that ran on Eek! Stravaganza's fourth season from 1995 to 1996 on the Fox Kids block.[1] It was created by David Silverman (of The Simpsons fame) and Savage Steve Holland. The segment was animated by the same people who used to work for Fox's The Critic, which was canceled that year. The executive producers were David Silverman, Savage Steve Holland, and Phil Roman. Unlike the Eek and Thunderlizard segments, this was a Fox Children's Productions and Savage Studios co-production in association with Film Roman for animation. It lasted a year with only 8 episodes.

The segment follows Ryan and Wade Heap, who can't have a pet because their father is allergic to pets. So they decide to make a pet on their own, out of a pile of junk (Klutter) by static electricity. There are other characters in the show, like Sandee Heap, who was lonely at first, before Klutter came into their lives. They went on mysteries, a la Scooby Doo, to save animals and solve crimes.

Characters

Klutter

Klutter is the eponymous star of the show. He's a pet made from a pile of clothes from static electricity by Ryan and Wade Heap. Klutter is thought as a dog in the show, mostly because of licking other people faces (mostly Vanna), and alerting the gang what's going on. Of course, Klutter is sometimes ignored by Ryan, Wade and the gang while alerting or saving somebody, or squashed by objects and other things. Klutter's owner's parents doesn't know that he exist. He was voiced by Kirk Thatcher.

Ryan Heap

Ryan Heap is the oldest of the Heap children. He wants to be a reporter just like his father. But his father laughs at him because he thinks the stuff aren't real. He was the leader of the gang. His hairdo would change different colors in almost every episode. He was voiced by Cam Clarke.

Wade Heap

Wade Heap is the middle child with a mild attitude. He doesn't say much, but that's because he's quiet most of the time. He has a distinctive low/Geeky voice. He was voiced by Savage Steve Holland, the co-creator.

Kopp

Kopp is a character that's very crazy and paranoid sometimes lazy. He's an underachiever, who has a not so secret crush on Vanna. It is known that Kopp was based on the real Bill Kopp, who couldn't participate to work on Klutter.[1] He was voiced by Michael Zorek.

Sandee Heap

Sandee Heap is the youngest of the Heaps. She's a preschooler that was previously lonely until Klutter came around and brighten up her day. She is often noted for her extremely high voice. She was voiced by Sandy Fox, whose name is just like Sandee's name.

Vanna Erving

Vanna Erving is Ryan, Wade, and Sandee's neighbor that lives next door. She is a teacher's pet, bright, and sometimes mean and bossy. She can't stand either Klutter or Kopp for their silly actions sometimes. She is sometimes a brat when she feels like acting one. She was voiced by Halle Stanford.

John Heap

John Heap is the father of Ryan, Wade and Sandee Heap. He's a news reporter that most of the time claims that the town he lives in is dull, although exciting (and scary) things happens when he doesn't look. His voice was provided by the co-creator, David Silverman.

Andrea Heap

Andrea Heap is the mother of Ryan, Wade and Sandee Heap. She wants Ryan and Wade to focus on growing up (and picking up their Klutter off the floor). She's also a 1960s like mom who's a little ditsy. She is also a library employee. She was voiced by Kathy Ireland.
