The X's

The X's is an American animated television series created by Carlos Ramos for Nickelodeon. The series centers on a family of spies who must conceal their identity from the outside world but often have trouble doing so. It ran for a single season of 20 episodes (38 segments) airing from November 25, 2005, to November 25, 2006. Although it was compared to The Incredibles and Alias, Ramos has stated that the show takes inspiration from the James Bond film series, the 1960s TV series Get Smart, and the 1960s TV series The Avengers. Synopsis The X's work for SUPERIOR. Mr. and Mrs. X have their daughter named Tuesday, their younger son named Truman, and many gadgets at their disposal. An organization called S.N.A.F.U. (short for Society of Nefarious and Felonious Undertakings) is continually trying to cause trouble for the X's through their plans to take over the world. The series takes place in 2006, according to the episode: "X Takes a Holiday". Characters SUPERIOR Mr. X (voiced by Patrick Warburton) – Family patriarch, team leader of the X's, and the main protagonist of the series. Tucker is the expert at hand-to-hand combat and is similar to James Bond and Maxwell Smart. Although a competent spy, he struggles with everyday issues, such as remembering his civilian name. He is also an excellent cook and very strict and stern. In one episode, his shoe phone self-destructed as a parody of both Get Smart and Mission Impossible. Mr. X is 40 years old. Mrs. X (voiced by Wendie Malick) – Second-in-command and combat specialist of the X's. Mrs. X is fully trained in hand-to-hand combat and martial arts but is a horrible cook. She is a tennis expert. Mrs. X is known for administering savage beatings to Glowface. She's a very caring and protective mother to Tuesday and Truman. Mrs. X is 38 years old. Tuesday X (voiced by Lynsey Bartilson) is Mr. and Mrs. X's teenage daughter and missions investigator. Tuesday is the most normal of the team, despite her rather extreme punk-rock garb and frequently changing hair-color. She is also the most knowledgeable of "real-world" behavior, which the other family members either misunderstand or ignore outright. She definitely takes after her mother in savagery and fighting skills, but at heart Tuesday is a genuine teenager who wants to do other things besides spy missions with her family.
