[edit] Main Characters
- Victor Volt - An agent in U.Z.Z.
- Anita Knight - An agent in U.Z.Z.
- Changed Daily - The leader of U.Z.Z. His name is changed daily for security purposes. He relies on his cell phone to tell him his new name. Sadly, it's usually a totally humiliating name (like "Oinky Doinky") that always makes the U.Z.Z. agents laugh. His goal in life is to get a cool name of the day, which has never happened. It is hinted in Commando Babies that he has been changing his name since he was a baby, due to his nanny saying, "I remember how the other children used to call you such silly names".
- Special Agent Ray - A high-ranking agent in U.Z.Z.
- Professor Professor - A professor with a German accent who creates all sorts of "kooky" gadgets for U.Z.Z.
- Doctor Doctor - An evil, zombie-like professor for T.H.E.M. She wants to get rid of the World Leader so that she could take over the world. Her teeth always seem to wiggle when she talks, which could mean that she has bad oral hygiene
- The World Leader - She is the leader of the world. The language that she speaks is just a bunch of gibberish that her husband always has to translate into English. According to www.thesecretshow.com, the language she speaks is ancient Aztec.
- Sweet Little Granny - A running gag that has appeared at the beginning of every episode (and every vignette as well) singing a song about fluffy bunnies, preparing her show. The problem is, The Secret Show always steals the time slot from her. She and the bunnies occasionally appear throughout the episodes as Easter eggs.
[edit] Organizations
- U.Z.Z.- The good guys. Led by Changed Daily.
- T.H.E.M.- The bad guys. Led by Doctor Doctor. (Twin of Professor Professor.)
[edit] Gimmicks
- The show never starts as "The Secret Show" but as "The Fluffy Bunny Show", which apparently features an old lady in a rocking chair, with a banjo and lots of fluffy, pink bunnies. But just as the old lady begins to sing the intro for "The Fluffy Bunny Show" Agents for U.Z.Z. commandeer the show and "The Secret Show" begins; much to the poor, old lady's dismay. Every time, the U.Z.Z. agents use a different way to get rid of the old lady and the bunnies.
- A running gag is that whenever something bad happens to Victor and Anita, usually Professor Professor will yell out on his communicator "Victor, are you still alive?" Victor will usually reply "Yes, I'm still alive!" This is said in an increasingly annoyed tone over the series.
- Bunnies are seen frequently throughout the show (usually hidden, but sometimes quite noticeable). These may or may not be the ones that the U.Z.Z. agents take away from "The Fluffy Bunny Show". They seem to be the equivalent of the twonkies from The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius.
- The Secret Thing is hidden in every episode, every time in a new hiding spot.
- 4-digit codes are also hidden in every episode, which can be used to unlock a safe on www.thesecretshow.com.
- The series takes place in the year 2082, as proved in the time-travel episode.
