Synopsis
Capitol Critters is an animated television series about the lives of mice, rats, and roaches who reside in the basement and walls of the White House in Washington, D.C. The series was produced by Steven Bochco Productions and Hanna-Barbera Productions in association with 20th Century Fox Television for ABC, which aired seven out of the show's 13 episodes from January 31, 1992 to March 14, 1992. Cartoon Network later aired all 13 episodes in 1995. The series was part of a spate of attempts by major networks to develop prime time animated shows to compete with the surprise success of Fox's The Simpsons, alongside CBS's Fish Police and Family Dog. All three proved unsuccessful and were quickly cancelled.

- 6. Opie's Choice1992-02-29Jammett becomes a local drug dealer when he starts selling caffeine pills to a squirrel named Opie. Max despises him for this, but Max soon gets into trouble himself when some tough pill-pushers think he's the one selling to Opie and don't like others taking over their business.

- 10. The KiloWatts RiotsWhen the electricity is cut off to the rodents and roaches, they start to panic until Jammett gets the idea to bring in another source of power via extension cord, thus becoming his own electric company.

But the other rodents decide they aren't going to put up with him any longer, and the confrontation may be too much even for Jammett!

Moze doesn't like this and him and Jammett get into a scuffle which escalates into a riot - a serious crime in the roach world. Jammett is put on trial by them but all they want is vengeance, not justice -- except for one certain roach whom Jammett wouldn't of expected to have helped him!
- 12. The Lady Doth Protest to MunchAfter a bill to help the hungry is defeated, Berkeley decides to go on a hunger strike until it is passed. But, can she withstand the temptation to eat as the gang goes on a citywide adventure when the truck they happen to be sitting in is stolen?
