My Gym Partner's a Monkey is an American animated television series created by Timothy and Julie McNally Cahill and produced by Cartoon Network Studios. The first episode of the series premiered on December 26, 2005, as a sneak peek into Cartoon Network's new shows for the following year. Regular showings began on February 20, 2006.
The story revolves around Adam Lyon, a human student at Chester Arthur Middle School. After a typo changes his last name to "Lion", he is sent to Charles Darwin Middle School, a school for anthropomorphic animals. Shortly after his transfer, he is partnered with Jake Spidermonkey (an actual spidermonkey) in Gym, hence the title. While Adam has to deal with the obvious difficulties humans have performing animal-like tasks, Jake just has fun at everyone else's expense.

[edit] Adam Lyon
A naïve twelve-year old human who was transferred from a human school to Charles Darwin Middle School by an accidental misspelling of his last name ("Lyon" to "Lion"), Adam must constantly deal with the strange practices of his animal classmates, as well as his hyperactive-monkey best friend.
[edit] Jacob "Jake" B. Spidermonkey
Jake, as his last name implies, is a spider monkey. He is energetic and adventurous, quickly becoming Adam's best buddy after they are paired as gym partners, hence the series title. Jake's a true friend who will do anything to help Adam out of trouble, even though many times, Jake's the one who got them into trouble in the first place.
