[edit] Main Characters
- Jordan James Lewis (played by Lil' JJ) is the 14-year old main character of the series. Jordan usually speaks his mind before thinking about it. His parents are divorced, and he moved with his mother and sister from Arkansas to Los Angeles to live with their grandfather. His best friends are Joaquin Montez and Tony Lee. In the episode "Air Jordan" he tried out for the basketball team but didn't make it at first because he was being a "ball hog". Tony told him later that everyone knew he had skills, and that the coach would put him on the team if he cooperated. He likes Tamika Newsome, but so does Tony. In Fools in the Hood Jordan acted like a thug because Tamika liked bad boys. Later on she told the truth, and said she really didn't like bad boys and she liked boys that told the truth. In "Lemme See Your Grill" he had grillz put in, and bought a pocket bike, but Pam made him take back both. In "Home Alone in the Diner he is left charge of the diner, while Grant, Pam, and Monica take a quick trip to San Diego. In No Justice, No Pants he protested against school uniforms.
- Tangie Cunningham (played by Raven Goodwin) is Jordan's cousin and his toughest critic. She is concerned that Jordan's image will have in cool in the big city of L.A. Tangie is obsessed with Tony and one of her main goals is to pass Oprah Winfrey in fame and in wealth. She has a crush on Tony as seen in all of the episodes so far. In "Lemme See Your Grill" she began working at a clothing store called "Urban Girls". In "Home Alone in the Diner" she helps some country cheerleaders turn into dancers.
- Joaquin Osmando Montez (played by Eddy Martin) is the best friend of Jordan Lewis. He is planning a career in politics (just like the rest of his family) and does not like to make mistakes because they might end up on his "permanent record". He is counting on Jordan and his other friends to make him more "social". Even though he can't play, he somehow ended up on the basketball team in the episode "Air Jordan" because the coach thought that he was the only person who could take a charge so well. In No Justice, No Pants he was in favor of school uniforms.
- Tony Lee (played by Justin Chon) is Jordan's other best friend, and sometimes rival. They began as rivals on the basketball court, but when Tony took a job at Grandpa's restaurant Jordan and Tony became best friends. Tony and Jordan are constantly competing for girls, especially Tamika. In "Fools in the Hood", Tony and Jordan acted like thugs so girls would like them. He likes to make his own custom burger called a "triple burger" which was served at the restaraunt one time in: "Home Alone in the Diner".
- Monica Lewis (played by Kristen Combs) is Jordan's 9-year old little sister who has him tracked down 24/7. Jordan doesn't mind his sister (most of the time) and always wants to know what he is doing and how she can help. When Jordan began ignoring her in the episode "Air Jordan" she asked Tony to take her to school. In "Lemme See Your Grill" she got two dolls that looked like her called "Ponica" and "Shonica". She gets on Grant and Pam's nerves in "Home Alone in the Diner on a trip to San Diego. Her talent for chess was realized in No Justice, No Pants
- Pamela Cunningham-Lewis (played by Shania Accius) is Jordan's mother who according to him: "has eyes in the back of her head" She moved her family back to Los Angeles and they are back living in Grandpa's house/restaurant. She is very over-protective of Jordan as seen first in Fools in the Hood and insists that he is too young to go out with girls.
- Tamika Newsome (played by Chelsea Harris) is Tangie's best friend and a girl that Jordan has a major crush on. She developed a crush on Jordan (JDog) because he was acting like a thug, but then she realized that she really didn't like bad boys.
- Grant Cunningham (played by Beau Billingslea) is Jordan and Monica's grandfather and Tangie's uncle. He has owned the local diner for as long as anyone can remember. He expects discipline and order from everyone (especially Tangie and Jordan). Most people think he can make the best macaroni and cheese in L.A. County. He often falls for Monica and will buy anything for her as seen in "Lemme See Your Grill". He leaves Jordan is charge while he takes a quick trip to San Diego in "Home Alone in the Diner.
