EspañolMIKE, LU & OG
(Redirected from Mike, Lu and Og)
'''Mike, Lu & Og''' is a short-lived American animated television series that ran on Cartoon Network, produced by Kinofilm Studios (Russia). The show was the seventh Cartoon Cartoon, based on a short for ''The What-A-Cartoon! Show''. Created by Chuck Swenson, the show follows a girl named Mike (short for ''Michelene''), who is a foreign exchange student from Manhattan, a stuck up island princess named Lu, and a native boy named Og who is a gifted inventor. They go through a series of wacky adventures as Mike learns the customs of the island and the natives learn the customs of the United States. 26 half-hour episodes were produced, featuring two stories per episode. The series aired from 1999 to 2001 on Cartoon Network, and featured voice actors Nika Frost as Mike, Nancy Cartwright as Lu, and Dee Bradley Baker as Og. It began airing on Boomerang in May 2006.
Mike applied as a foreign exchange student, and on a lark asked to be sent to a tropical island (witch has the strange capability to sink and pop up "like a cork" a few moments later every "few hundred years or so"). She found herself dumped on a forgotten, barely mapped island populated by descendants of a British shipwreck (which is why Lu and Og, and their parents, speak perfect English). This island may be based on the real-life Pitcairn Island. The islanders have "gone native" and are trying to behave like Polynesians, with varying degrees of success. Amongst other things, this explains Og's name and his (un)dress sense.
Manhattan-born Mike enjoys the sun, the beach, and the relaxed (school-less) atmosphere, but misses kosher delis, all night neon lights and skateboards. Fortunately, Og seems able to improvise anything out of coconut husks and sea shells. On one occasion he even managed to build a television set. The set only ever showed static because there were no stations in range, but that did not prevent the fascinated islanders from watching it all day and neglecting their other activities.
In "The Tube", Mike recalls that back at "St. Albine", Sister Mary Magdalene told her that being an exchange student would be a learning experience. At the end of "Hot Couture", when Og displays ... "the Og", Mike, just before almost passing out, cries out "Sister Mary Francis, where are you now?" In "Buzz Cut" she tells Og that Sister Ignatius would have loved to have him in science class, and in "Scuba Dooby Doo" tells him that her friends Melissa and Max stood with her when Sister Ignatius accused Mike of having a terminal smirk. This all suggests that back in New York Mike attended a parochial school. If so, "St. Albine" may be named for Stéphanie Félicité Ducrest de St-Albin, comtesse de Genlis, a French writer and early proponent of modern methods of education.
Although Mike's last name is given as "Mavinsky", everyone (including Mike herself) pronounces it "Mazinsky", Lu reveals on two occasions that her real first name is Michelene.
Lu (more properly Princess Lulu), being a "princess", is often naughty and arrogant and looks down on Mike, but usually learns a lesson in humility by the end of each episode. Lu also has a long-suffering pet turtle named Lancelot. She also makes Og work his fingers to the bone.
Although she titles itself herself "princess",she is,in fact,not a member of any royal family,but simply the daughter of the Islands governor,Wendel.On one ocasion,she even offered herself to become the adoptive daughter of "King Bob",so she could become a real princess, not knowing that "King Bob" was only the mans slogan-name ,as he was a salesman.
She is wery spoilt and is seen to be disobedient of her father,who is unable to excercise any parental control over her whatsoever.
Her mother is never seen nor mentioned.She is a cousin of Og.
Native Islander Og, is much more advanced than most people would expect him to be. Og would rather be in the Lab than out hunting with his father, Alfred. Mike often relies on Og to invent things.
He owns three animals,a pig,goat and a hedgehog,who are,in fact, able to talk and well learned in philosphy,but Og is completely oblivious of this.
He is Lu's cousin.
Lu's father and the Governor of the Island.He has a wery weak will (as seen when he ate so many chocolates that he returned into his former, "pre-workout" shape in the course of a few hours) and is seeminlgy unable to control his daughter and of delivering any sort of punishment to her.He is then adept to start crying.He has been the islands governor for many years.This was mis-interpreted by Mike, who thought he was a american-esque governor,witch lead to an "election" on the island,not realising that the islanders came to the island from England (and,as seen in the episode with "King Bob"-they hold the "King of England" in great respect).
He has a large colection of "tea-pot cosies".
Og's father. A hunter who persistantly chases a wombat who evades him at every turn.
Og's mother and Alfred's wife. Frequently works hard preparing meals.
The Island elder the gang seeks advice from.He is also seen to be able to perform a kind of magic,summoning dead spirits.He is opossed to Mike's inovative ways.
Living nearby are three pirates, descended from the pirates who caused the Brits to be shipwrecked in the first place but were then shipwrecked themselves. Their leader is a captain with two wooden legs and ''two'' eyepatches. Despite these handicaps he seems to get around without any problems. The pirates sometimes attempt to catch and eat Lancelot but are always foiled by the three children.
Their captain is known to force his men to put on eyepatches,to he can sneak into his treasury and put a stuffed animal figner puppet on his hand,engaging in conversations with it,speaking for it in a squeaky voice.
The other inhabitans of the island,whose wery existence Lu eagerly denies,they live on the other side of the island.Although they are shown to live in caves,one of their number,Hermione,a cuzlewit girl,is seen to be a wery experienced thinker.She is acompanied by two Cuzzlewit boys,Haggis and Baggis,who constantly batter each other with clubs.
In the only episode taking part on the Cuzlewits side of the island,they are revealed to have a far greater number then the people on the side of the island,where Mike lives.
