[edit] Plot
This show features a boy named Johnny who lives with his sisters Susan and Mary in the Test residence in the town of Porkbelly. Susan and Mary come up with experiments to win the heart of the next-door neighbor, Gil, but they use Johnny as a test subject for their experiments. Johnny also has a super talking dog named Dukey, who has natural dog urges. Johnny likes to take Dukey places, but has to disguise him as a kid. Lila Test (the mom) works like the stereotypical father, and Hugh Test (the dad) is obsessed with meatloaf and extreme cleanliness. However, the only recurring evil force at work is Eugene, who apparently changed his name to "Bling-Bling Boy", and is after a specific date with Susan, even though she has absolutely no interest in him. Other villains include The X-Treme Teen Team, who love anything that says "extreme", and the Mole King, who hates light. This show has a similar visual style and tone of Nickelodeon's The Fairly OddParents, Cartoon Network's Dexter's Laboratory orRobotboy, and The Disney Channel's Kim Possible, although the name is almost certainly a reference to Jonny Quest. The show was created by Scott Fellows, also creator and Exec Producer of Nickelodeon's "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide".
[edit] Production History
The first season was produced in-house at Warner Bros. Animation. Some episodes were storyboarded by Atomic Cartoons in Canada. The merge of UPN and CW resulted in many budget cuts for the show, and resulted in cancelation. Cookie Jar Entertainment, based in Canada, decided to take control of the show, turning it into a U.S./Canada co-production. Due to this change, the writers, storyboarders, and art crew who worked on the first season were let go, resulting in an entirely new crew managing the show. In addition, the budget of the show dropped dramaticly, resulting the show to be animated in Macromedia Flash. Now it's a Teletoon Original Production.
