Gruff's Groove Box was a music series that aired on Nickelodeon in Southeast Asia, South Korea, and Australia. It premiered in India on Nov. 5th [1]. According one fan page he was nominated for an award in the Australian Kids' Choice Awards

The series revolved around a claymation dog named Gruff and his in-house band called Kitty Litter. They took requests on music videos to play, read fan mail, and interviewed celebrities.

The series is perhaps most remembered for being yanked off the air in Malaysia due to the death of the Agong, or ruling king, just one day after its premiere (a law in Malaysia bans all upbeat music from being played for a month after the king's death).
