EspañolTHE BUZZ ON MAGGIE
(Redirected from The Buzz On Maggie)
'''The Buzz on Maggie''' is a Disney Channel original comedy series created by Dave Polsky and directed by David Wasson (who created the Cartoon Network series ''Time Squad'') about the daily lives of flies that debuted in June 2005. The series was broadcast on the Disney Channel but was canceled after one season. Since May 29, 2007, the Buzz on Maggie has been moved from its daily 5:30 a.m. time slot to Tuesdays - Saturdays at 4 a.m.
The show is animated in Macromedia Flash. Easter eggs include the episode "Le Termite", where there is a termite restaurant that serves a dish made of a miniature wooden model of the house in Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. When the show's animators learned the series would not be renewed for another season, they incorporated an easter egg in the series finale episode, "Roach Hotel". The final shot of the show (and the series) ends with Maggie waving goodbye directly to the camera before the iris out. In the episode "The Usual Insects", after the alarm is tripped in the permanent record room, Maggie tells her friends to escape. Rayna tells her it can't be done, to which Maggie answers "Fly, you fools!". That is Gandalf's line after the Balrog broke the bridge in The Lord of the Rings. The second The Lord of the Rings reference is in "Rottingmuck Ranch", after Maggie and Aldrin accidentally destroy the "Favorite Hat" while fighting over it, Pubert uses the line "My precious", which is how Gollum frequently refers to the One Ring. Skye Sweetnam sings the theme song of the show "Just The Way I Am". The opening credits feature the town of Stickyfeet and it's residents being surprised by Maggie who flies about and ends up playing her guitar. The town is actually a human rubbish tip in a human city as well as a fly metropolis.
'Maggie Pesky' is a fly who resides in Stickyfeet with her family. With a dream of one day becoming a famous rock star, she never hesitates to play her double bass guitar and even bend the rules to make her dream a reality. She often gets herself into sticky situations, such as cheating on a school project, and she almost always brings her best gal pal, Rayna, down with her. Nevertheless, she has principles in which she strongly believes in, however, she sometimes crosses the line and breaks her principles. Maggie is also very kind and caring, but sometimes chooses to put herself first.
'Aldrin Pesky' is Maggie's older brother. It appears that he is well-liked at school and is possibly dating Dawn Swatworthy, one of Maggie's enemies. As the star jock in many sports, but mostly in football, he sometimes becomes vain and selfish. But as he points out to Maggie, he has practiced long and hard to earn this fame, while she is always cutting corners on the road to success. Their rivalry seems to stem from early childhood, when Maggie replaced Aldrin as Uncle Zeb's "favorite" child and no amount of effort on Aldrin's part could win back that coveted position. In addition to squabbling and competing with his sister, Aldrin often bullies his younger brother Pupert. However he views Pupert as far less of a threat than Maggie, and will sometimes team up with him to outsmart Maggie. Of his siblings he seems to tolerate Bella the most and was visibly upset when she went missing. Aldrin works part-time at a local fast food restaurant called "Buzz Burger". His name is a reference to Buzz Aldrin, an astronaut.
'Pupert Pesky', Maggie and Aldrin's younger brother, is nothing short of an average kid. He is clumsy, loves to have fun, and takes great pride in the small tasks he accomplishes. He is an expert at photography and tattling and has a big sweet tooth.
'Bella Pesky' is the fourth and final child in the Pesky family. While still in the stage of a maggot, her admirering family considers her an adorable joy to have. Although she is seldom far from her mother's watchful eye, she has many impressive talents such as juggling and breakdancing. However, she is unable to talk, but the voice in her head is that of a middle aged man, although she doesn't talk she seems to perceive herself as talking anyway.
'Chauncy Pesky', the father of Maggie and her siblings, believes in tough love when it comes to parenting. He has proved to be strict but understanding when it comes to his children's situations. He sometimes turns to his journal that he wrote as a kid to help relate to his children; but this is hard to do as the jorunal is out-dated and peppered with 1970s slang.
'Frieda Pesky', the mother of Maggie and her siblings, often backs her husband up whe it comes to punishing her children. She appears to be the typical housewife who cooks, cleans, and watches the young Bella constantly. She enjoys shopping a great deal and her brother, Zeb, owns a bacteria ranch.
'Rayna Cartflight' is Maggie's best friend. Although she strongly disapproves of most of Maggie's plans, often pointing out the flaws, she eventually helps Maggie complete the task. Sometimes she even offers alternative plans, but they are nearly impossible to complete. Rayna and Maggie rarely have fights, but when they do, they often patch things up quickly.
She is a sassy fly who often points out the flaws in Maggie's plans, but goes along for the ride anyway.
'Maria Monarch'- A friend of Maggie and Rayna, an attractive butterfly.
'Dawn Swatworthy'- A wealthy rival of Maggie, a cheerleader rumored to be dating Aldrin. She is very narcisstistic and vain, and enjoys oppressing and demeaning others especially Maggie. She tricks many teachers and adults thats she's sweet with her excessive flattery.
'George'- Aldrin's dim-witted best friend and a member of the football team
'Eugene & Wendell' - Twin beetles, genuises who behave awkwardly around "pretty girls" like Maggie and Rayna
'Snapercival (Snap) Carpenter'- A bully ant, known to have a crush on Dawn
'Principal Peststrip'- Principal at Buzzdale Acadmeny
'Mrs. Wingston'- Maggie's no-nonsense science teacher
'Mr. Bugspit'- Maggie's overly-dramatic history teacher
'Nurse Hatchison'- Nurse at Buzzdale Academy
'Melvin The Stinkbug'- A stinkbug who goes on a date with Maggie once. In the episode "Love Stinks," Maggie defends his smelly nature from a crowd of spectators, prompting him to think and convince everybody else that she wants to be his girlfriend.
'Gym Shorts Kid (Ruben')- A bug who loves his gym shorts almost as much as he loves Dawn
'Chip'- School reporter/photographer known for his enthusiastic catchphrase "What a scoop!"
'Larry'- A frequently disgruntled wage slave. Appears in "The Hangout", "Slumber Party", "Spelling Bees", and "Racoooon!"
'Lacey Ladybug'- A snobby ladybug who transferred to Maggie's school from her old school in Beverley Gardens (Most likely a parody on Beverley Hills). She enjoys bossing other students at Buzzdale Academy around and acting as though she is better than them. This can be proven in the episode she first appears, where she makes up an entire lie about what a superior life she had in Beverley Gardens. However, Maggie unvails her lies in the end of the episode, and she becomes somewhat a normal kid, though she still remains the total snob she was to begin with.
