[edit] Premise

Living far in the future, shortly after the end of World War Nine, Lloyd Nebulon is a green-skinned alien (of the Verdigrean race) with strange ears and a single antenna sticking from his head. Lloyd lives in the Intrepidville Space Station along with his telekinetic and telepathic sister, Francine, and his mother, Commander Norah Li Nebulon, the Head of Intrepidville. Lloyd's friends are Eddie R. Horton (a ginger-haired American teenage human), Kurt Blobberts (an enormous purple blob with a single eyeball and simple intelligence, of a species known as the Blobullons), and Douglas McNoggin (a giant brain with arms, feet, eyes and a mouth, of a species known as the Cerebellians).

[edit] References to Recess

There are many Recess references in the show. Many Recess voices are in the show: for example, Courtland Mead voices both Lloyd Nebulon and Gus Griswald. Another example is shown in the episode Day One, where Lloyd goes back in time to fix his past. It is then revealed that his elementary school teacher's name was Principal Pickley (a reference to Principal Prickley).

[edit] Characters

[edit] Main Characters

  • Lloyd P. Nebulon is an average teenage boy of the Verdigrean species. He frequently uses the word "junk". Lloyd is voiced by Courtland Mead.
  • Edward J. "Eddie" Horton is Lloyd's human friend who has red, wavy hair. He acts in a very "cool" manner. His father is a police officer. Eddie tends to think himself as the ladies' man. Eddie is voiced by Justin Shenkarow.
  • Kurt Blobberts is Lloyd's large, purple, one-eyed friend. While sometimes slow on the uptake, Kurt is a gentle and kind boy. Kurt is voiced by Bill Fagerbakke.
  • Douglas McNoggin resembles a brain with glasses, arms, and legs. One of Lloyd's friends, he is the most intelligent character in the show. Douglas is Voiced by Pamela Hayden.
  • Station is the space station's computer. When activated, he assumes the form of an eyeball attached to a long wire leading from any computer terminal. Station has a tendency to be fairly neurotic and oblivious to those around him.

[edit] Villains

  • The Zeptar's Bandit is lowly criminal. He robs Zeptar's (a local eatery) before he is caught by the police.
  • Lothak is a space-pirate who holds Lloyd and his friends hostage. He is eventually thwarted by Commander Nebulon, Lloyd's mother.
  • The Pick-pocket is a criminal that appears in Eddies memory in the final episode of the show. He is caught by Eddies dad
  • Kurtlas is the fusion between Douglas and Kurt due to Lloyds suggestion. At first Kurtlas defends the nerds from bullies but all this fame goes to his head and decides to become the school bully himself. He is stopped by Lloyd.
  • The Preditalien is a monster which attacks and infects Intrepidville from the year X27 to X37. If one scratched or bit another life form they too would become monsters. In the episode the preditalien appears it is merely an illusion created by Francine to Scare Lloyd and his friends.

[edit] Supporting Characters

  • Dunkirque is the second-in-command of the space station. He is a tough and obedient aide to Commander Nebulon. Dunkirque is voiced by Dan Castellaneta.
  • Larry is another one of Commander Nebulon's aides. He is a purple humanoid who frequently acts childishly. Voiced by Eddie Deezen.
  • Boomer is the mechanic who repairs all the spacecrafts on Intrepidville. He is fairly simple-minded. It is revealed in "Boomer's Secret Life" that he is the heir to his race's throne. Boomer is voiced by Diedrich Bader.
  • Lou 2000 is Station's bad-mouthed backup system. When in use, he frequently picks on Larry.
  • Commander Norah Li Nebulon is the commander of Intrepidville and Lloyd's mother. She is voiced by April Winchell.
  • Francine Nebulon is Lloyd's younger sister. Gifted with the powers of telepathy and telekinesis, she uses her psychic powers to pick on Lloyd and make his life miserable whenever she possibly can. Her mental telepathy gift has the power to levitate objects. Whenever Francine is reading someone's mind (particularly her brother's), her forehead lights up.
  • Brittany Boviac is a snobby girl at school who is captain of the cheerleader squad. She is also revealed later in the series to have a secret crush on Lloyd. Although she secretly likes Lloyd, she publicly insults him, giving the impression that he is not worthy of her time. She is voiced by Anndi McAfee.
  • Megan is Brittany's best friend. She is usually with her wherever she goes. Most of the time she is slightly meaner than Brittany.
  • Cindy is the two-headed girl that Lloyd takes to the dance. While one of her heads is usually polite and well-mannered, the other tends to be rude and abusive. Her Nice head is voiced by Tara Strong
  • Rodney is the school bully who loves to pick on Nerds, particularly Mendel.
  • Mendel is one of the nerds at Luna Vista and is the main target of Rodneys bullying.
  • Mrs. Barbara Bolt is Lloyd's teacher at Luna Vista School. She is a cranky robot who gets really uptight when Lloyd is messing around. She is voiced by Tress MacNeille
