Monica Pink TV series outline
Monica Pink Pet Shrink is a children’s comedy series that looks at the intricacies of human and animal behaviour as seen through the eyes of two oddball 9 year old kids. Monica Pink and her best friend William Strange are really good at investigating and analysing pet behaviour but they can find human behaviour perplexing.
The series uses humour and pet problems to teach children some basic psychological concepts which will equip them with coping strategies for the expected and unexpected events in their lives.
Each episode will feature a pet with problems and the pet’s psychological issues will be reflected in the stories of the people in Monica’s world. Denial, Fear, Repressed Anger, Dominance and Confidence Issues are just some of the subjects covered in this children’s comedy series.
