Tasty Time with ZeFronk is an American animated short series produced for and aired on the Playhouse Disney block on Disney Channel from November 8, 2008, to September 24, 2010. Reruns aired on Playhouse Disney after the final episode of the series aired until February 13, 2011, when Playhouse Disney ended its run on Disney Channel. Reruns were later on moved to Disney Channel's Disney Junior block which debuted the next day at 6:00 AM Eastern Time. This animated short series is aimed at getting preschoolers to make their own snacks.
A French dog called ZeFronk hosts a cooking show from his doghouse with his assistant, a songbird named Sue, and his sneaky neighbor cat named Dom that always sneaks away snacks that ZeFronk makes, and each episode ends with ZeFronk chasing Dom around the prep counter, triggering Sue to fly away and come through the iris wipe. The first-season episodes ended with a bonus live-action segment in which a parent and child made the meal featured in the episode, although these segments were later removed due to time constraints.
