'''''The Mighty B!''''' is a current [[Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon]] show created by [[Erik Wiese]] (previously a storyboard artist and writer on ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]''), Cynthia True (previously a writer on ''[[The Fairly OddParents]]'') and [[Amy Poehler]] (of ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' fame). Amy Poehler also provides the voice of the title character, Bessie Higgenbottom. Its first episode premiered on [[April 26]], [[2008]]. |
|||
==Plot == |
|||
Bessie Higgenbottom is determined to be the best Honeybee scout ever by collecting every single Honeybee badge. Bessie thinks that when she gets every badge she will turn into the "Mighty B," a superhero; and will take Happy, her pet dog, and Benjamin, her little brother, on her quest to become the Mighty B. |
|||
== Characters == |
|||
===Main=== |
|||
* '''Bessie Higgenbottom''' - The title character of the series, Bessie is a 9 3/4 year old Honeybee scout, similar to a [[Girl Scout]]. She is very devoted to her troop and tries her hardest to earn every Honeybee badge, believing that she will become The Mighty B if she collects them all. In fact, she constantly wears her uniform, beats her sales record every year while selling taffy, and owns far more badges than any other scout. Bessie is a very confident, caring, organized, but hyperactive and talkative girl. Apparently, her favorite food is popcorn |
|||
* '''Happy Walter Higgenbottom''' - At first, a nameless dog with a half-torn ear enjoying existence at the Wharf, that is, until Bessie Higgenbottom found him and took him home. Happy could run away from the Higgenbottoms, but he begrudgingly grew to love his new family (except for Ben). Happy and Ben might fight over Bessie's affection, but Bessie loves Happy very much. Apparently, Bessie can comprehend Happy's barks and growls. |
|||
* '''Benjamin Higgenbottom''' - Bessie's 6 year old younger brother, also nicknamed Ben, who is afraid most of the time. He is constantly trying to be braver, in hopes of being Bessie's sidekick when she becomes The Mighty B. |
|||
===Recurring=== |
|||
*'''Hilary Higgenbottom''' - She owns and operates a coffee shop called Hilary's Cafe in San Francisco. She is the mother of Bessie and Benjamin Higgenbottom. She is not very neat and looks and feels kind of frazzled. She tries to support Bessie's ambitions, but she is not so sure how she feels about Bessie's ambitions of the Mighty B. She is as just bowled over by Bessie as everyone else is, and usually goes along with her precisely calculated plans out of sheer exhaustion. Although in the episode "Artificial Unintelligence" she shows high intellect by taking apart Bessie's [[atom smasher]] |
|||
* '''Gwen''' - Gwen is mainly seen at Portia's side, working as a loyal lieutenant. Her interests include urban culture, music, and fashion. Apparently, she has a head for business and is very clever. She may seem harsh at first, but she is actually a very nice girl who is oppressed by Portia's orders. She has five younger brothers. |
|||
* '''Penny''' - Penny is Bessie's overweight, clumsy, dim-witted best friend. However, she shows loyalty to Portia and is occasionally torn between her two friends. She has a big heart and is always willing to help her friends, whether it be Bessie or Portia. |
|||
* '''Portia Gibbons''' - Portia demands to be waited on and treated like a celebrity. Like a stereotypical dumb blond, she is interested in makeup, clothes, and celebrities. She always has her friend and right-hand man Gwen at her side, and occasionally Penny, if she isn't helping Bessie instead. Portia is very lazy and would rather have others do things for her. For an unknown reason, Portia constantly belittles and attempts to humiliate Bessie, dragging Gwen and Penny into the schemes as well. |
|||
* '''Finger''' - An imaginary friend of Bessie's which is her left-hand index finger with a face drawn onto it. Whenever Bessie needs some worldly advice, she seeks Finger's perspective of the matter. Bessie often recycles Finger's imaginary question for others to understand what he is saying. First thing every morning, she draws a smiley face on Finger, and every night before bed, she washes off Finger's "awake" face to put on his "asleep" face. Finger may seem like a figment of Bessie's imagination, but sometimes, it seems like he has a mind of his own. |
|||
* '''Rocky Rhodes''' - He is an older skateboarder who works part-time as a waiter at Hilary's Café. Rocky is a budding teen heartthrob: He's nice, he's cool, and he's in a rock band. Rocky plays bass for the Integritones, a teen garage band that can totally make it, if they only could find a drummer that who would stick around for more than a week. Kenan Thompson, Poehler's SNL co-star, lends his voice as Rocky. |
|||
* '''Jill Higgenbottom''' - Bessie's step-sister. She appeared as a guest star in the first ever "The Mighty B!" movie, "Mighty G!". |
|||
===Minor=== |
|||
* '''Mary Francis Gibbons''' - She is the Honeybee troop leader and Portia's mom, who, apparently, enjoys humiliating Bessie as much as Portia does. An advanced social climber, she is banking everything on her mall-pretty daughter. She became a Troop Leader because she plans one day to run for PTA President and she wanted to show how good she was with children. She forced Portia to join the Honeybees and considers the troop a mother-daughter bonding activity. Mary also is a certified Patty Faye Cosmetics representative and jumps at any time to push Patty Fay. It's not just the money, but also the chance to tell everyone how to look better. She does seem to care about her troop in some episodes. |
|||
* '''Anton''' - First introduced as the Dog Show Judge. He is Mary Gibbons's best friend. They adore each other. He's the most judgmental person in the world and as such is usually looked to as an authority, whether he is a Dog Show Judge or head of City Council. Whenever Mary Gibbons needs someone "impartial", she calls for Anton, usually to bring Bessie down. |
|||
* '''Mr. Wu''' - He is the owner of the Mr. Wu's Restaurant, a neighborhood favorite. He is loved by the Higgenbottom family, especially Bessie. He very sweetly humors Bessie in all of her crazy schemes and Mighty B imagining, often getting pulled in for moral support. Also, sometimes he can see into Bessie's mind. |
|||
* '''The Hippie''' - He can often be seen around the neighborhood in his own little world. When he's not painting murals or enjoying nature, he runs a magic shop. The Hippie doesn't have much of a head for business, but he can usually be counted on to take Bessie seriously when no other grown-up will. He's often on the same wavelength as Penny. |

==Goofs/Trivia== |
|||
*In Body Rockers, Penny sips a drink out of Bessie's back pack using a straw that was not there before. |
|||
*Body Rockers is currently the only episode that Happy is not in. |
|||
*Lil'l Orphan Happy is currently the 1st episode that Portia is not in. |
|||
*In Body Rockers the Museumnist put chili to come inside the body exhibit but instead was soda. |
|||
* In Body Rockers, the Honeybee scouts were watching a movie that stated that, in a few years, doctors will be able to shrink down to microscopic size and fix you from the inside. After that clip, the movie's announcer said "And if you think that's dynamic, just imagine what the year [[1995]] will bring", and it showed three people wearing jet- packs (which haven't even been invented yet). This suggests that the movie they were watching was very old and long since out- dated. |
