"Cosmic Catdroid and Plastic Puppy" (Fall 2072 - Spring 2074, Tethys Broadcasting System):

This live-action adventure show chronicled the adventures of Hladolet, a once-ordinary catgirl who finds herself abducted and implanted by friendly aliens. She is reprogrammed to fight crime by remote control, and is deployed on Earth as "the Cosmic Catdroid," a slinky, spacey cyborg whose sex appeal is amplified to such extremes that it becomes a superpower.

In the pilot episode, a young canine named Trajan becomes an innocent bystander at one of the Cosmic Catdroid's super battles. He accidentally catches a glimpse of her rear end when it's fully charged with love energy and becomes completely transfixed. Hladolet takes Trajan back to her secret base to recover, but her alien operators decide she needs a sidekick. In the cliffhanger of a two-part episode, the Cosmic Catdroid suddenly unleashes her powers on the innocent puppy.

Trajan is assimilated, in a legendary sequence that takes up most of a 22-minute episode (and is still banned on Pluto), into the "Plastic Puppy," Cosmic Catdroid's perfectly synchronized -- and girly -- sidekick unit. They join forces to make Earth "friendly" -- which apparently means turning Earth's supervillains into happy plastic service droids like them, one by one.

The show was wildly popular during its brief run on Solar Channel 595 and highly praised for its open-minded portrayal of alien hypnoslaves. Unfortunately, in 2074 Cosmic and Plastic's production company was revealed to be a front corporation for an actual race of hypnotic space-squid. The show was canceled in the ensuing scandal and billions of fans were reimbursed for free neuro-malware screenings. However, in a suspiciously brief and amiable court settlement, the Hypnosquid were permitted to retain all unsold show merchandise and props, including vehicles, deelyboppers, and both lead actresses.
