100 Deeds for Eddie McDowd was an American family comedy series, created by Steven H. Berman, Mitchel Katlin, and Nat Bernstein. The series ran from October 16, 1999 to April 21, 2002, for the Nickelodeon TV channel.

Plot

Schoolyard bully, Eddie McDowd, is punished by a man called The Drifter because of his behavior. He finds himself very attractive and powerful and so he bullies others without mercy. The Drifter plans to make him pay for his wrong doings and turns him into an Australian Shepherd/Siberian Husky mix, informing him that he has to do 100 good deeds before he can be changed back. Besides The Drifter, the only one who can hear him talk is Justin Taylor, who was the last kid he bullied. Now he must work alongside Justin and his family to finish his good deeds and become human once again. It is explained by The Drifter in a later episode that this should happen, neither Justin nor Eddie will outright remember their experiences (though Eddie will still be a better person for it).
