Production history

Johnny Test was created and executive produced by Scott Fellows, the creator of the Nickelodeon live-action series Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide. The show premiered On September 17, 2005 on Kids' WB's Saturday morning lineup, alongside Loonatics Unleashed and Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad Island. The first season was produced in-house at Warner Bros. Animation, with some episodes being storyboarded by Atomic Cartoons, and most of the voice recording taking place, in Canada. However, the merger of UPN and The WB into The CW resulted in many budget cuts for the show, and resulted in temporary cancellation. But Cookie Jar Entertainment, based in Canada, decided to take control of the series' production, authorising it as its own project. Due to this change, the writers, storyboarders, and art crew who worked on the first season were let go, resulting in an entirely new crew managing the show. In addition, the budget of the show dropped dramatically, leading seasons two and three of the show being animated in Adobe Flash by Collideascope Digital Productions. The show's opening theme was later changed, with the opening being made of recycled episode footage. It is now regarded as part of Teletoon's original series catalog. More recently, James Arnold Taylor, the voice of Johnny Test had announced that a fourth season is in production.[1]. Season four is currently being animated in the Philippines.

Plot Background

Johnny Test concerns the adventures of Johnny Test, an average 11-year-old boy, who lives with his intelligent twin sisters, Susan and Mary and his dog Dukey (who is able to talk), in the town of Porkbelly. They would often use their young brother as their test subject for various experiments, of which to impress Gil, their next-door neighbor. Sometimes, Johnny would also be given his sisters' gadgets, or superpowers to use in combat or other situations. At times Johnny "borrow" some of the devices and special powers that the twin sisters had developed and invented to do their own dirty work, and then try to undo disasters and messes that they have created, as well as to fight evil villains found in Porkbelly.

Characters

Main characters

Jonathan "Johnny" Test
A troublesome 11-year old boy who is the main protagonist of the show. He is frequently known as the "kid with the flaming hair" due to having red highlights in his hair. Because he has two genius older sisters, he can live any kid's dream, only to find that some dreams aren't worth living. He is very hyperactive, and often messes with his sister's inventions, causing trouble and mayhem, but just as often proves himself to be extremely clever such as by frequently tricking his genius sisters or saving the day from whatever danger happens to show up.

Johnny can be considered very spoiled and stubborn, as he gets what he wants, through deceit, blackmail, or manipulation. Johnny adopted Dukey from the pound on his eleventh birthday, later gaining a best friend after his sisters turned him into a talking dog. Johnny has an alter ego that he calls "Johnny X", who is a superhero that has various superpowers, including hurricane hands (speeding wind from his hands), shapeshifting, and the ability to teleport. He was in love with Janet and later Sissy, the latter born out of hostile rivalry.

Johnny hates school and doesn't work hard at all (if anything, he tries avoiding work). He is addicted to video games, and will do anything to get them (in one episode, he wishes to get a GameDroid QS (a fusion of Game Boy/Nintendo DS), though this is seen in another episode. His catchphrase is "Whoa, didn't see that coming" to an unexpected event. There have been minor alterations to that phrase and in some cases, others have said it, including Dukey.

His name is a pun on Jonny Quest.

Dukey
Johnny's talking dog and best friend. He was a very disgusting dog until Susan and Mary changed him (including the DNA of all the worlds martial arts experts giving him great Kung Fu abilities). Since then, he can both fetch the paper and read it. He is often the voice of reason to Johnny, but winds up getting manipulated into supporting Johnny's schemes (usually because he is given steak). Despite his devotion to Johnny, Dukey frequently expresses deep disdain towards Johnny's less intelligent antics, believing their situation as master and pet is reversed. His dog habits greatly annoy Johnny's sisters, to which Johnny takes deep delight in.

Dukey also has a secret identity called "Super Pooch", although he is also referred to as "Super Dukey" and "X-Pooch". When he is "Super Pooch" Dukey has abilities such as shape shifting powers, and the ability to teleport. He has the power to fly as a sidekick (to Johnny) but usually crashes when landing. When there is a ban on pets, he usually disguises himself as a "kid with a rare hair disorder". He is also addicted to steaks and coffee.

During situations where it seems that Johnny and everyone else are doomed, he will say "I'm gonna freak out now." before acting completely insane.

The Test Girls

• Susan Test is a 13-year old genius and twin sister of Mary. The younger of the two, she has blue eyes (which sometimes change to green) and wears a black skirt, a shirt depicting a star, and her trademark lab coat. She has straight red hair, held with a star-shaped clip, and wears square eyeglasses. Like her sister, Susan harbors a deep love and obsession for the Test's next door neighbor, Gil, although their attempts to attract his attention always end in failure. She is noticeably more self-centered than Mary, which often leads to her downfall. Susan's emotions are more extreme than her twin's, and she tends to be more impulsive. Eugene/Bling-Bling expresses fond interest in Susan, often causing her to be used as a "bargaining chip" in his negotiations. She sometimes wears a blue-green swimsuit that is cut out by the sides of her stomach and hips.

• Mary Test is a 13-year old super genius and the elder twin sister of Susan. She has green eyes and often wears baggy blue jeans and sneakers with her trademark moon-shirt and lab coat. She has curly red hair, held with a crescent moon clip, and wears similarly shaped glasses. Mary has been shown to be more sympathetic than Susan. Like her sister, Mary harbors a deep love and obsession for the Test's next-door neighbor, Gil, although their attempts to attract his attention always end in failure. Both girls attend school at the Mega Institution of Geniuses. Mary is prone to believing in less in science and more in the realm of science-fiction, which proves to be correct, despite the scorn received from her twin. Mary seems to be more level-headed and conservative than Susan, and speaks her mind much less often. She sometimes wears a pink bikini with a boy-short style bottom and style top.

Hugh Test
The uptight, obsessive-compulsive father of Johnny, Susan and Mary, and the husband of Lila. Hugh's two biggest obsessions are cleaning and cooking meatloaf, which the rest of the Test family openly despises. If Johnny, Susan, and Mary mess something up, he always wants them to come back before dinner. He also always grounds them from video games, and the lab, respectively, for a month at a time for even the smallest offense.

Lila Test
Mother of Johnny, Susan and Mary and wife of Hugh. She is a businesswoman, though her specific profession is never explained.

Gil San
A pretty boy teenager and Susan and Mary's crush, who doesn't even know they exist, despite having lived next door to him since they were born. Though it has been shown that he noticed them when the girls had created three robotic Gils for him. Much to the great ire of Susan and Mary, Gil considers Johnny his friend (whenever Gil appears when Johnny is around, he shouts, "Hey, Johnny!").

Voiced by: Andrew Francis

Mr. Black and Mr. White
Secret Agents of which Johnny, Mary, Susan, and Dukey, ask for help whenever they can not handle a crisis alone. They are not afraid of anything (although on some occasions, that is only what they say) and in their first appearance could shoot ropes from their wrists, but haven't shown this in later episodes. They resemble Agents Kay and Jay from the Men in Black films. Despite their names Mr. White is African American and Mr. Black is Caucasian.

Recurring characters

A rival of Johnny who tends to hide her crush for him hide it through bullying and asserting superiority over him. Johnny also seems to have a crush on her, although he doesn't seem to be aware of it. However, the two are constantly competing against each other. If Sissy beats him, she will brag about it. If Johnny wins, he'll either get caught into a situation because of it, or brag as much as her. In one episode, Johnny pretends to get used to being bullied by Sissy and they fall in love with each other along with Dukey and Missy. She seems to be the victim to the show's twists, adventures; her misfortune seen at the end of the episode. She appears in the first and second season, but made a brief cameo in the background during an episode in season three. She has blonde hair with a red lightning bolt pattern, with multiple ear piercings and a white skirt.

She appears once in the third season in the background, talking to another student. She hasn't appeared since then.

General
Mr. White and Black's Boss, the General is leader of the army base stationed within Porkbelly. Loud and forgetful, he frequently takes action whenever the situation becomes too large for the Tests to maintain, although his efforts never fare any better. He is prone to overkill and rarely considers what result his actions may have on civilians, to the point he fired at a forest, a inhabited area, and even a place were children were playing all in an attempt to destroy a monster (which was actually a robot being controlled by Johnny and Dukey).

Villians

Eugene "Bling-Bling Boy" Hamilton
A major antagonist and friendly enemy of Johnny and Dukey, preferring to go by name of "Bling-Bling Boy" (because of his gold jewelry and watches). Most characters usually call him by his real name instead of Bling-Bling Boy, which annoys him greatly. He is a multi-millionaire with unlimited funds at his disposal. He has a big crush on Susan, who doesn't reciprocate his feelings, and often resorts to evil plots or blackmail to try and force her to be his girlfriend. He occasionally teams up with Johnny and Dukey to defeat the other villains when the situation demands it. He seems to be good friends with Johnny and Dukey, despite being a main antagonist of the series. Similar to his sisters, he occasionally tricks him Johnny test some of his inventions.

Deep down Bling-Bling Boy is insecure due to being fat and having buck teeth although in "Phat Johnny" his weight and buck teeth actually help Bling-Bling Boy become successful as a hip hop star.

He is a parody of Darth Vader (though given how he has a sliding face mask and nerdy face, he's far more likely a parody of Dark Helmet) and a vegan.

Lunch Lady
The lunch lady at Porkbelly Middle School who has greenish skin and speaks in a German accent. She can be very cruel when students don't eat her food.

Blast Ketchup
The main character of the Tiny'Mon show and Tiny'Mon games, Blast Ketchup has dreams of becoming the World's Greatest Tiny'Mon Master. He always takes the first words of what people say, mistaking them as Tiny'Mon. Blast Ketchup has a sidekick that is always by his side. Because Johnny always beats him at Tiny'Mon, Blast is eager for revenge but he does admit Johnny is highly skilled. He is a parody of Pokémon main character Ash Ketchum, and his rapid movements and mannerisms are comedic parodies of anime characters, though his character design is sort of a fusion between Ash and Dan from Bakugan.

The Johnny Stopping Evil Force 5

Mr. Whack-O!: The team's leader. Despite being the owner of a toy company, he deeply loathes kids, and makes incredibly destructive toys in hopes of ridding the world of children. Though he originally has no powers, he seem highly intelligent.

Brain Freezer: The former janitor and coffee guy of Susan and Mary's school. He is a self-proclaimed genius, with his inventions typically involving both coffee and ice. He has a "Chillachino Machine" that can freeze anything including creating armor made of ice. It appears he is immune to the blasts from his freeze gun, as he uses them to transform into his supervillain form by blasting himself but his 'Chillachino' will still freeze him solid if he drinks it. He often makes ice-related puns, parodying the mannerisms of Batman's Mr. Freeze.

The Beekeeper (Doc Beebles): A man in a beekeeper's suit that can control bees. His secret identity is Doc Beebles, maker of Piles 'O Honey Bars. His debut plot was to use his bees to eat all other candy in the world so his Piles 'O Honey Bars would finally sell (none bought his bars because they were naturally sweet and healthy), though he really wanted the kids to be healthier. He is currently reformed and likes Johnny, and has dropped out of the force to be replaced by Zizrar. He loves saying "bee" as "be" as a pun when he's wearing his bee suit.

Mr. Mittens: An evil cat with the same modified genetic structure as Dukey by Susan and Mary's classmate, Tim Burnout. He once tried to turn the entire world into cats. Like Dukey, he is highly intelligent but seems to lack Dukey's fighting skills. He also has a butler named Albert. Albert isn't seen hating Johnny, but he was forced into the squad because he had to take care of Mr. Mittens all the time. The Johnny Stopping Evil Force 5

Zizrar: King of the Mole People and Beekeeper's replacement, who often attempts to take over the world, only to fail due to his intense aversion to light. He is voiced by Scott McNeil.
