Grumpy Cat makes her first visit to Disney Channel on new sitcom “Bizaardvark,” but at least one person is less than impressed.
In an exclusive clip from a new episode, the famous internet cat takes a meeting with 12-year-old agent Bernie (Ethan Wacker), who’s looking for new animal actor clients, but he just doesn’t get the hype.
“I just don’t see it,” he says, eyeing down the perennially frowning feline. “Listen kid, let me give you some advice: Cheer up! The world wants to laugh. Now get out of my office.”
Of course, that’s before he realizes he’s talking to a celebrity.
Grumpy Cat has been stepping up her media appearance, including plans for a cameo on Friday at the new Broadway revival of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical “Cats.”
“Bizaardvark” follows Paige (Olivia Rodrigo) and Frankie (Madison Hu), who write funny songs and create music-comedy videos for their online channel, Bizaardvark. Now with 10,000 subscribers, they are invited to produce their videos at the influential Vuuugle Studios.
In this cool environment — and with the help of longtime friend and 12-year-old agent, Bernie, plus fellow Vuuugle stars Dirk (of “Dare Me Bro!”) and Amelia (of “Perfect Perfection With Amelia”) — the best friends embark on comedic adventures in their quest to rule the blogosphere.
The Grumpy Cat episode of “Bizaardvark,” which marks her first appearance on Disney Channel, airs Sunday, Oct. 2 at 8:30 p.m. ET.
