Totally Spies

My Favorite Childhood Show !

The Show:

Totally Spies”is a French and Canadian animated television series that was created by Vincent Chalvon-Demersay and David Michel. It was produced by Marathon Media Group and Image Entertainment Corporation. The show was created to resemble anime styles and was originally based on the concept of a girl band. The show is about three teenage girls in Beverly Hills, California who work as undercover super agents.

“Totally Spies”, first appeared on November 3, 2001 on ABC Family in the United States. It premiered on TF1 in France on April 3, 2002.  Then on Teletoon in Canada on September 2, 2002.  Since the series’ premiere, 156 episodes have been broadcast, which completed its sixth season.

It’s about three girls who live a double life as spies working for the World Organization of Human Protection (WOOHP). The girls are recruited by the organization’s leader, Jerry, to solve crises that arise around the world. Many of their missions involve dealing with angry villains who have been wronged in some form during their past. Several act in revenge on the spies by invading their personal lives. Framing each episode is a subplot that focuses on the girls’ daytime lives as high school (and later university) students, dealing with relationships, and their school rival Mandy.

She has long red hair, green eyes and wears a green catsuit. Clover ( Andrea Baker ) is the valley girl of the group. She loves shopping, fashion, and good-looking guys. She is not only athletic and strong, but also impulsive and spontaneous. She has chin-length blonde hair, blue eyes and wears a red catsuit. Alex ( Katie Griffin ) is the tomboy of the group, serving as the glue that holds their friendship together.

Supporting Characters:

The supporting characters in this specific season, and episode would be the Talent Scout, Rad Smitt, Alesandro,  Jason Weebler, and Captain Haynes. The famous Talent Scout comes to the girls’ school to look at Mandy’s “walk”.

Jason Weebler, is the world’s  top famous singer. Captain Haynes, is the kidnapper, and a pilot.

Season 6 – Episode 8 – Celebrity Swipe

When Hollywood’s most famous romantic lead actor, Rad Smitt suddenly goes missing from a little jog on Hollywood Hills, Sam, Clover, and Alex are devastated. They go to Rad’s posh estate to search for clues,  as they are investigating, Rad shows up out of nowhere, though acting a bit strangely, is not missing at all, and in fact, has no memory of being kidnapped in the first place ! Then, the world’s top soccer star and the world’s top singer also disappear, the girls eventually discover that Captain Hayes is to blame. Instead of his Celebrity worship syndrome driving him to try and be around the rich and famous, he is now determined to become one of them himself, by using a crazy machine that he has invented to steal their best attributes. Plus, earlier in the show at Malibu University ( the spies school ) a famous talent scout comes to check out Mandy, but eventually signed up Alex’s pet pig instead, which devastated her.

 What Stands Out?

I recommend watching this show because, it shows how 3 teenage girls, can do undercover things. For example, Sam Clover, and Alex are supposedly three normal teenagers, but are called on special missions during school. Basically, the moral of the show is three teenagers are still passing there classes, despite them having undercover jobs, and are sometimes gone for more than one day. So, basically you have no excuse for having a bad grade, if these girls are able to do it.

Why To Watch This Show?

I would watch this show because it kind of has lessons in it. Also, because you have multiple T.V networks that you would be able to watch it from. It’s a T.V. show, that is somewhat addicting, because of the the action that occurs, and you would become very tempted to figure out who the villain is.
