STICKIN' AROUND

'''Stickin' Around''' is a Canadian animated children's television series, originally aired on YTV in English. In Latin America, it was broadcasted by Nickelodeon under the title ''Los Grafitos''. It was also aired in the United States on the Fox Family Channel from 1999 to 2000 as part of the series ''The Three Friends & Jerry'', which had by then become an anthology series.
The show is based on two kids named Stacy and Bradley. The show is all about their adventures with their friends and family, and their fantasies. Stacy and Bradley, best friends, encounter many problems they must face as they continue to grow up - if it is with school, bullies, friends, and parents. They always come up with imaginative ideas to eliminate these obstacles, such as becoming a superhero, and putting themselves in a different environment where they have no trouble in defeating their enemies.
It uses the animation technique of "Boiler Paint" virtually convincing the viewer that kids are creating the animated series.
The show won the Gemini Award for "Best Animated Program or Series" in the spring of 1998, while being nominated once again during the fall of 1998, for the Gemini of the same award.

Characters

★ 'Stacy Stickler' (Ashley Taylor): A somewhat witty 9 year old girl who sometimes is the voice of reason. She befriends Bradley, and sometimes helps him with his crazy ideas, even though she doesn't go along with them.
Commonly used phrase: "Real mature, Bradley." "For your big fat information"

★ 'Bradley' (Ashley Brown): A silly, immature little 9 year old boy who mostly has his head in the clouds. He gets the worst grades in his class. His parents never made an appearance in the show, but were only mentioned several times.
Commonly used phrase:

Bradley: "Aliens from..."

Stacey: "Don't say it, Bradley!"

Bradley: "...Uranus!" (pronounced your-EIGH-nus instead of YOUR-un-nus)

★ 'Polly' (Marianna Galati): A young, genius little girl who is very smart for her age (She's in grade 4 even thought she's supposed to be in kindergarten or grade 1.). She is friends with Stacy and Melody. The only thing she (possibly) doesn't know is that her dog, 'Pepperoni', is dead after drowning in Stacy's pool (although when Bradely suggests they find a cure for Pepperoni's death Stacey cries until Bradely says he isn't dead, suggesting she's in denial). Polly is also Lance's half sister. In earlier episodes Pepperoni had tire treads on his body, indicating that he was likely run over by a car. She is also thought to be Lance's half-sister which is a phrase sometimes used by Russel (Russel: "It's your sister" Lance replies: ''Half''-sister Russel: Whatever) (see below)
Commonly used phrase: "Come on, Pepperoni"

★ 'Lance' (Andrew Craig) and 'Russel' (Amos Crawley): The school bully who mostly picks on Bradley by giving him wedgies,"poundings" and refers to him as "Scradley". His smelly partner Russell also helps him to do no good.
Commonly used phrases:

Russell: "It's your sister."

Lance: "Half sister."

Russell: "Whatever."

"You're gonna pay for this, Scradley!!!"

"Wedgie time, Scradley!"
Anyone in the area except Lance: Ewww, what's that funky smell?!
Russel: What?

★ 'Dil': A kid with a speech problem that makes him always yell very loudly when he talks. To make matters worse, he is a chatterbox, meaning those around him have to endure long hours of him talking very loudly.
Commonly used phrases:

Dil: HOLY MACKEREL!!

Dil: HI, GUYS!!

Stacey and Bradley: (in a dull tone) Hi, Dil.

Dil: YOU GUYS!!

Dil: Y'KNOW!!


★ 'Frank': Stacy Stickler's overweight dachshund (weiner dog) who seems to have a compulsive eating disorder. Comically, he has a strong affinity for hot dogs.
He has brief appearances in almost every episode.

★ 'Mr Doddler': A Senior citizen

Video Game

There was a video game of the same name in 2001 for Nintendo 64 and Sega Dreamcast, with a few differences:

★ The characters are evolved in 3D.

★ The game is on an island.

★ The game is like a puzzle-solving game.
Sega and Infogrames published the respective releases. This game was developed by: Virgin Interactive Entertainment and Steele/Leary Software. The Nintendo 64 release was ported by Point of View (developer).

Trivia

★ The episode ''Aand Action!'' has a parody of the ABC show "America's Funniest Home Videos" entitled "Uncle Saggy's Really Really Bad Home Videos" which portrays home videos of people doing excessively bad things (such as getting a pet wombat to eat an olive out of the owner's belly button, a baby driving a car, and a man waking up with in-line skates on etc.) The host is a clown. (Bradley and friends send a movie in which they fall into a swimming pool with the camera recording the video. But it didn't win and the gang solves a robbery at the store "Mr. Quickie's" (The gang's favorite junk food store and Polly puts it in a drier to dry it off since it fell in a pool)
