[edit] Characters

Jesse McCoy - Jesse is an average kid who likes to hang around with Nancy. Jesse is regularly being picked on, he usually blames his very annoying mother who always seems to get in his way. Jessie is one of the more focussed characters in this TV series.
Nancy Francis - Nancy is the red-head with the glasses, you see Nancy is always trying to fit in with the other girls and is always is helping out Jessie because she sees him being picked on a lot. Nancy is a good kid but she usually gets up to mischief and that's what gets her in trouble.
Penny Grant - Penny is one of the wealthiest girls in the entire school. Penny is not a snob just because she is one of the richest kids in town. She is very nice and has blonde hair that helps her fit in very nicely. Nancy is always near her because of how wealthy she is but sometimes Penny doesn't even realize that she is rich.
Vinnie Nasta - Vinnie is the bully of the bunch. He is a tall boy who likes to pull pranks on people just like the bus driver on the main picture. Vinnie is always found wearing a football shirt and spiked up black hair. Watch out for Vinnie because he always has some eggs with him to chuck at the innocent kids of the school.
Freddie Fay - Freddie is sadly also picked on and teased like Jessie. Freddie is basically classified as a nerd in the school and he doesn't like that at all. He has glasses, black hair, wears a yellow shirt and sticks out as an easily found school nerd.
Polly McShane - Polly, a proud Lithuanian, is a big girl who is a 'teacher's pet'. Polly is the teacher's pet and looks very like it too. Polly is very smart and has glasses, black hair and a plaid dress. The teacher's pets are very annoying but not like this one, Polly loves goats and tries to hang out with others and can never fit in but she always keeps trying. She has an obsession with spoons.
Arthur Kenneth Van der Wall - Arthur is always trying to sell really awesome things. Even if you don't buy from Arthur you usually end up paying him in the end. He has brown hair and wears a nice blue suit, now this kid's got everything indeed. But how he gets his cool stuff he sells is unknown, most kids think he steals it from stores or is very rich.
Miss Gracie Graves - Miss Gracie Graves is a really great teacher. The thing is that she is stuck with a tough class. So whenever you see her she's probably just trying to get her class to take at least one pop quiz without getting excuses from Jessie and the others.
Mr. Besser - Mr. Besser is the incompetent principal of the school. Noted for his stupidity and overweight staure, he is often satired, whether it be vocal or written, by his students. His negligence and ignorance serves as reoccurring comic relief within the television show.
