Caitlin Seeger (played by Lindsay Felton) is a 14-year-old orphan from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, who keeps landing in hot water.<br />
After getting in trouble with the law, she must choose between moving to Montana to live with relatives she doesn't know or growing up under the eagle eyes of Philadelphia's law enforcers.<br />

We found Steve's answers to our questions quite absorbing.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #38761d;">NICKELODEON MAGAZINE: How did you come up with the character SpongeBob?</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">STEVE HILLENBURG:</span></b> I've always been an ocean freak, so I thought I'd like to do a show about lesser-known creatures that live under the sea. Then I thought, <i>What would be the funniest, weirdest kind of character to be the star?</i> After considering the octopus, starfish, squid, and crab, I decided the sponge was the most ridiculous.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #38761d;">Is it true that you used to be a marine biologist?</span></b><br />
I studied marine biology in college and then worked at a school program at the Orange County Marine Institute [in California]. We had all sorts of tanks, labs, and pools where kids could observe and interact with sea life, and we also ran whale watches.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #38761d;">Do you scuba dive?</span></b><br />
I've done some diving, but if I go on a trip, I usually snorkel and surf.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #38761d;">How did you get into animation?</span></b><br />
As much as I loved my work at the marine institute, I'd always been interested in drawing and painting, so I decided to go back to school for animation. Some of the films I made in school helped me get my start [in cartoons] on Nickelodeon's <i>Rocko's Modern Life</i>, which I worked on for three years.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #38761d;">When you were a kid, did anyone encourage you to become an artist?</span></b><br />
My third-grade teacher, Mrs. McMahon, was very excited about my drawings. She asked me to draw her portrait once, and she thought it turned out really funny. She was definitely an inspiration.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #38761d;">What were you like when you were ten?</span></b><br />
I grew up in Southern California, so pretty early on I was interested in critters and the ocean. I was into science and collecting bugs, and I had a tendency to build strange, smelly things, such as a dinosaur out of chicken bones.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #38761d;">What advice do you have for kids who are interested in animation or science-or both?</span></b><br />
Sometimes people say you can only take one path. To that, I say, "Maybe that's not true." My work in marine biology helped me create a cartoon that might appear new to everyone. My other piece of advice is to follow your own instincts as an artist. If you have a style that seems different, have fun it with; be proud of it.<br />

<b><span style="color: #38761d;">How would you describe the style of <i>SpongeBob SquarePants?</i></span></b><br />
Whimsical. Since I love surfing, and the show takes place in the ocean, I decided to add a lot of Hawaiian surf culture-music, design, SpongeBob's pineapple house. I think that adds to the show's sense of optimism and fun.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #38761d;">Which <i>SpongeBob</i> character do you most identify with?</span></b><br />
I identify with all the characters on some level. Sometimes I'm grumpy or being snobby about something, so I'm like Squidward <i>(below)</i>. And sometimes I'm optimistic and naive, just like SpongeBob.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #38761d;">What's more fun: being a cartoonist or working with sea creatures?</span></b><br />
They both have their advantages. I miss being able to work at the ocean every day. But when I was working by the ocean, I missed drawing and creating. I'll have to make a studio under the water, I guess.<br />

Sure, it's fun for them, but only <i>occasionally</i> do they get starstruck. "I must admit, I was a little nervous interviewing [model] Rebecca Romijn-Stamos at <i>Kids' Choice</i>," says Sean. As for Deb, a highlight was meeting actor Chris Elliott on the set of an upcoming Nickelodeon movie. "I was psyched to meet him," says Deb, "and he turned out to be really funny and nice."<br />

As a kid, <b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Nathan Potter</span></b> <i>(above)</i> wasn't very good at learning foreign languages. But to become the technical manager of nick.com, he had to master several website-building computer languages, starting with the most basic, HTML. Nathan and his staff are responsible for taking other people's designs and words and making them function as a game or activity. For more advanced games and animation, he works with languages such as Perl and Java. And unlike many of his coworkers, one computer just isn't enough to get his job done. With both a PC and a Macintosh at his desk and about 20 servers that link the different parts of the site together, he has learned to accept technical break-downs. "If my computers don't crash two to three times a day, I'm not really working," says Nathan.<br />

<br />
To design games for nick.com, <b><span style="color: #b45f06;">Steve Milaro</span></b> <i>(left)</i> spends his weekends the same way many kids do: watching Nickelodeon. That's the easy part. The hard part is finding characters or scenes in <i>Figure It Out</i>, <i>All That</i>, <i>Hey Arnold!</i>, and <i>CatDog</i> that can be turned into funny, challenging games. Once he has an idea, Steve works with the shows' creators to decide how the game will look, sound, and play. Then it's up to a technical programmer, such as Nathan Potter, to turn the idea into reality. The whole process takes about six weeks. Steve is especially proud of the <i>All That</i> game in which players have to pitch peas into Miss Pidlin's mouth. He also has a soft spot for the cartoon kid known as Football Head. "I could watch <i>Hey Arnold!</i> all day long," says Steve. "In fact, I have!"<br />

I was elected treasurer of my elementary school and president of my class in junior high school. I still have the campaign posters my dad helped me make. One of them was in the shape and style of a Superman shield and said SCANNELL FOR TREASURER <i>[far right]</i>. Another one was a play on an advertisement for Smucker's preserves <i>[right]</i>. My dad drew a jar of jam with a label on it that said SCANNELL'S: HERB'S PRESERVES and around it was the slogan WITH A NAME LIKE SCANNELL, HE'S GOT TO BE GOOD!!!<br />

<br />
With three new Nicktoons in every episode, Nickelodeon's show <i>Oh Yeah! Cartoons</i> is for serious cartoon fans. <b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Fred Seibert,</span></b> the program's creator and executive producer, chooses which cartoons get to appear. He got very animated when we asked him these questions.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">NICKELODEON MAGAZINE: Why did you create <i>Oh Yeah! Cartoons</i>?</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">FRED SEIBERT:</span></b> Since so many kids say they look forward to new cartoons on Nickelodeon, I thought it would be great to have a place to show new cartoons <i>every week</i>.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Why do you like cartoons so much?</span></b><br />
I loved the feeling of watching cartoons when I was a kid, and I love recapturing that feeling as an adult by working with people who make them.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">What were some of your favorite cartoons as a kid?</span></b><br />
My first favorite was a cartoon called <i>Huckleberry Hound</i>. I also liked <i>Bugs Bunny</i> and <i>The Flintstones</i>.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">What makes a great cartoonist?</span></b><br />
He or she has to be able to draw, be funny, and be able to tell a story.<br />

<b><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: orange;">Which cartoon character would you like to spend a day with?</span></b></div>
I always thought Bugs Bunny would be a great guy to have around, because even when he's bothering you, he's awfully funny.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">If you were a cartoon character, who would you be?</span></b><br />
Because my name is Fred, and <i>The Flintstones</i> came out when I was nine, I've always identified with Fred Flintstone. He's just a regular guy, and I consider myself just a regular guy. He does good things, but he also messes up a lot, and I think of myself that way, too.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">What is your favorite cartoon sound effect?</span></b><br />
My favorite sound effect happens when Fred Flintstone makes his car take off by putting his feet down on the ground and running. And I happen to know how that sound effect was made: Two of the show's producers drummed their hands on a leather couch, as if they were playing bongos.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Which cartoon character would you want working for you?</span></b><br />
The thing that makes cartoon characters funny is that they usually don't want to get anything done. They want to be left alone. And that's the worst kind of person to have working for you, isn't it?<br />

In honor of <i>KABLAM!</i>'s <i>Life With Loopy</i> special, we asked the creator, Stephen Holman (below, left), about life on the Loopy side.</h4>
<b><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: orange;">NICKELODEON MAGAZINE: What is Loopy's full name?</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></b>
<b style="color: #0b5394;">STEPHEN HOLMAN:</b> Loopy is short for Lupicia [pronounced loop-EE-sha], and nobody knows this yet, but her last name is Cooper.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Were you more like Loopy or her brother Larry as a kid?</span></b><br />
To be honest, Larry is the dweebier side of me growing up, and Loopy is the cooler side.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">How is <i>Life With Loopy</i> made?</span></b><br />
<i>Loopy</i> is a mixture of stop-action animation, puppetry, and live action. The faces of Loopy and her family are made of metal, and their features are magnetic, which makes it easy to change their expressions.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Do you play any parts in the live-action segments?</span></b><br />
Yes. I play Charlie Chicken, and in "Late Night With Loopy" I played the TV host Hank Hankerman - our version of David Letterman.<br />

<b><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: orange;">Loopy's parents always answer her questions with far-out stories. Do you remember any far-out stories you were told as a kid?</span></b><br />
One of the breakfasts we were served when I was a kid was scrambled eggs mixed with mushrooms, and mushrooms turned the scrambled eggs gray. It was my favorite meal, and my dad told me it was gray dogfish. So until I was about six, I used to tell everyone that my favorite meal was gray dogfish.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Any chance Loopy will have gray dogfish for breakfast?</span></b><br />
Well, I <i>have</i> been thinking about it.<br />

<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Did you ever wear skintight bell-bottoms or have a 1970s hairstyle?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I tried to grow my hair long enough for a ponytail, but it never worked, because my hair is really thin. At a certain length the ends would flip up and look goofy. I did have a pair of black-and-white-striped bell-bottoms that were pretty tight on me, even though I was very skinny!</div>

I'll update this post will the full issue of Ooze News soon. For now though, please enjoy "I Was An 'All That' Extra"!</b><br />

<br />
We sent writer and part-time actor <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">David Lewman</span></b> to the <i><span style="color: #3d85c6;">All That</span></i> set to find out what it's like to be an extra (a person in a crowd) in a "Good Burger" sketch. In the segment, guest star Sherman Hemsley, of the TV shows <i>Goode Behavior</i> and <i>Amen</i>, plays a food critic who gets served a puppy instead of a burger.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">DAVID'S REPORT:</span></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">1</span> <span style="color: #0b5394;">Knock-knock</span></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I arrive at <i>All That</i>'s greenroom, where I find other extras hanging out. I think they call the waiting room the greenroom because the extras are green with envy of the show's stars. [It's really called the greenroom because the first ones were painted that color.] There's a big TV where we can watch what's happening on stage.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">2</span> <span style="color: #0b5394;">Puppy chow</span></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm given a script to read while I'm waiting. In it, one actor declares, "Hey, that guy's trying to eat a puppy." The rest of the extras are supposed to react and say stuff like "Huh?" "What?" or "Man!" I decide to say "A puppy?" My first line! Excited, I share my idea with a kid who turns out to be the puppy's owner. Another extra looks on, smiling, and hoping to get her picture in the magazine. (She does.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">3</span> <span style="color: #0b5394;">Getting in character</span></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I explain to my fellow extras how I see my character, a customer at Good Burger: He's hungry, perhaps even thirsty for root beer; he likes puppies.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">4</span> <span style="color: #0b5394;">All dressed up</span></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As instructed, I've brought four casual outfits. The wardrobe person quickly picks out jeans and a plaid shirt for me. "Where's my dressing room?" I ask. She points to the men's room.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">5</span> <span style="color: #0b5394;">Hanging out</span></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I visit the dressing room of <i>All That</i> stars Lori Beth Denberg and Alyssa Reyes. I ask Lori, who is dressed as a baby for a different sketch, whether she has ever been an extra. "Never," she says. "Well," I think, "at least <i>I</i> don't have to wear a diaper!"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">6</span> <span style="color: #0b5394;">Powder my nose</span></b><br />
<br />
The prop person gives me a backpack to carry. The stage manager tells me when and where to walk. The makeup artist wipes powder on my face.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">7</span> <span style="color: #0b5394;">Practice makes imperfect</span></b><br />
<br />
During rehearsal, I stand behind a fake wall a Good Burger waiting for my cue to walk onto the set. Kel Mitchell, who's always clowning around, says, "Welcome to Bad Burger, Home of the Bad Burger."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">8</span> <span style="color: #0b5394;">Advice from the pros</span></b><br />
<br />
After rehearsal, we go outside while the audience is "loaded" in. Kenan Thompson and Kel ride bikes around the lot. "Do you have any advice for me before I shoot my big scene?" I ask some of the <i>All That</i> cast. "Try not to be awful," cautions Josh Server. Amanda Bynes cheers, "Have fun!" <i>Continued >></i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">9</span> <span style="color: #0b5394;">Welcome to Good Barker</span></b><br />
<br />
This is it! The scene starts. From behind the fake wall, I can hear the audience laughing. After Sherman gets his order, I walk over to the counter and look up at the menu.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">10</span> <span style="color: #0b5394;">Look, Ma, I'm acting!</span></b><br />
<br />
I react to the man who says Sherman <i>(seated, left)</i> is going to eat the puppy. After the first take, the director tells us to react even more. In the second take, Kenan and Kel start laughing and we end up doing the scene over five times. This gives me time to get ready to put everything I have into my line. When the moment comes, I exclaim "A <i>puppy</i>?" right on cue. The audience cheers. Hey, I could get used to this.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">11</span> <span style="color: #0b5394;">The price of fame</span></b><br />
<br />
Afterwards, I hand out pictures to my fans...and sign a few autographs. How do you spell <i>superstar</i>?<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">12</span> <span style="color: #0b5394;">Hooray for Hollywood</span></b><br />
<br />
I leave the Paramount lot with big plans for my future...maybe next time I'll be an extra on <i>Rugrats</i>.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">And <i>All That</i> Jazz</span></b><br />
<ul>
<li>An <i>All That</i> extra is paid between $70 and $75 for a day's work.</li>
<li>The burgers behind the Good Burger counter are just wrapped buns.</li>
<li>The director doesn't say "action" or "cut." The stage manager starts the scene by saying "In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1" and ends it by yelling "clear."</li>
<li>Extras often don't make it to the final cut of an episode. If you watch David's scene carefully, you'll get a glimpse at one of his legs, but not much else.</li>
</ul>

<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Watch this <i>All That</i> episode on Saturday, November 1, at 8:30 <span style="font-size: x-small;">PM *</span>.</span></b><br />

</b> <b>Kel Mitchell (Ed, a Good Burger employee):</b><br />
<br />
<b>Do you eat meat?</b><br />
Yes, I eat meat! I like meat. It's all right. First time I met meat, or me and meat met, it was neat.<br />
<br />
<b>What's the weirdest way you've ever eaten a burger?</b><br />
When I was little, I'd put my finger through the middle of a burger and eat around it. I'd eat all the way around until the meat was small. I was a weird child.<br />

<b>Would you eat at a place like Good Burger?</b><br />
Yes, maybe. But if I saw Ed, I might run.<br />
<br />
<b>Abe Vigoda (Otis, the oldest Good Burger employee):</b><br />
<br />
<b>What makes a good burger?</b><br />
A good burger has to be made of very fresh meat, as opposed to a hamburger that is mixed with fillers such as bread and other ingredients. You want all of the patty to be meat, from a big cut of fresh beef. It should be cooked medium rare and juicy.<br />
<br />
<b>Josh Server (Fizz, a Good Burger employee):</b><br />
<br />
<b>Have you ever been recognized at a drive-through?</b><br />
Yeah. I was driving Kenan home from work and the woman in the window at Astro Burger [a Los Angeles fast-food chain] said, "Excuse me, my friend wants to know if you're on TV."<br />
<br />
<b>Did she give you extra fries?</b><br />
All I'm gonna say is, it's not bad being on TV.<br />

<br />
<b>What makes a good burger?</b><br />
Love, man. When you're done and you realize you've just bitten into a hamburger that was made with love, it's so <i>mmm</i> good.<br />
<br />
<b>Would you ever eat at a place like Good Burger?</b><br />
Oh, absolutely. The hamburgers are made with love.<br />
<br />
<b>What do you put on your fries?</b><br />
Believe it or not, mayonnaise or ranch dressing or ice cream.<br />

<b>What's the weirdest burger you've ever eaten?</b><br />
I went home to Virginia to see some of my cousins, and they fed me an opossum burger.<br />

Nickelodeon's newest game show, <i>Figure It Out</i>, allows kids to show off their talents. Each show features two kids with special skills - such as the girl who can fold herself into the shape of a pretzel or the one who can play piano while lying on her back. A celebrity panel tries to figure out what the skill is by asking a series of questions. The longer it takes the panel to uncover the special talent, the more prizes the contestant wins.<br />
<br />
Some of the celebrity panelists who'll rack their brains are Curtis Williams Jr., Reagan Gomez-Preston, Taran Noah Smith, and Michelle Trachtenberg. Other panelists include Nickelodeon stars Lori Beth Denberg, Josh Server, Amanda Bynes, Irene Ng, and Danny Tamberelli.<br />
<br />
<h2><span style="color: #0b5394;">Summer Lovin'</span></h2><br />
Before becoming the host of <i>Figure It Out</i>, Summer Sanders <i>(above)</i> kept busy. In the 1992 Olympics, she won four swimming medals - two gold, a silver, and a bronze. She's worked as an NBC sports commentator and hosted MTV's <i>Sand Blast</i>. <span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>Lindsey von Busch</b></span> asked Summer some puzzling questions.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Nickelodeon Magazine: Do you do a lot of puzzles?</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Summer Sanders:</span></b> Right before the 1992 Olympics [in Barcelona, Spain], the athletes spent a lot of time resting in the hotel. We'd do enormous jigsaw puzzles.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">What's it like being a game show host?</span></b><br />
I'm a cheerleader and a traffic cop. I really have to get psyched before the game. I prepare for the show as I would for a race - I jump up and down to build up my energy.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Do you find it hard to keep a secret?</span></b><br />
Yes. In real life, I'm the worst. I always give presents early or give hints.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Do the panelists have to follow any rules?</span></b><br />
Only one: Questions must be worded so that they get "yes" or "no" answers.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">What was your favorite game show as a kid?</span></b><br />
I used to watch <i>The Price Is Right</i> when I was little. I knew that show like the back of my hand.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Tune into <i>Figure It Out</i> weekdays at 6 PM, beginning Monday, July 7. On July 19, the show will move into its regular time slot, Saturdays and Sundays at 6 PM.</span></b><br />
<br />
Show airs one hour earlier in central time zone. Show times subject to change.<br />

<br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Have you ever eaten any bugs?</span></b><br />
Not that I know of, but I once ate rattlesnake at a restaurant. It tasted just like chicken.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">How do your friends feel about your being the president of a kids' network?</span></b><br />
My friends are very supportive of me and think I have a pretty cool job. I get to think about kids and think like a kid all day long...and get paid for it!<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Then we asked Herb's friend, Steve Reynolds "Do you tease Herb about being the president of a kids' network?"</span></b><br />
I can tease Herb about lots of things, but his job's not one of them. I make fun of him because he likes the New York Mets, who haven't won a game in, like, five years. And I tease him because his jump shot isn't what it used to be. And Herb is forgetful-if it weren't for his assistant, Dana Stern, Herb would probably forget when we plans to do stuff like watch a Knicks game.<br />

</h3><h3>The newest Nicktoon is <i><span style="color: #3d85c6;">The Angry Beavers</span></i>, featuring Daggett and Norbert, beaver brothers trying to make it in the big world - or at least in the forest. We found out how an episode is made.</h3><br />
<h4>1. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Getting Ready</span></h4><br />
Before work on a cartoon series can start, the creators need to agree on what the main characters will look like. The pictures below show early versions of Daggett and Norbert and how they ended up [final designs]. Among other changes, Norbert was given more hair so that it would be easier to tell the brothers apart.<br />
<br />

<h4>2. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">All Aboard</span></h4><br />
A script must be written before production of an episode begins. It tells the story through dialogue and action descriptions. Then, using the script, artists create a storyboard <i>(above)</i>, which looks like a comic book. The storyboard is the first visual guide for an episode, showing the characters' facial expressions and physical action.<br />
<br />
<h4>3. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">For the Record</span></h4><br />
The actors perform the dialogue in a recording booth. Of the 300 people who auditioned, Richard Horowitz [Richard Steven Horvitz] and Nick Bakay were chosen as the perfect voices for Daggett and Norbert. "No one could play the characters the way they did," says creator Mitch Schauer. "They're just like Daggett and Norbert."<br />
<br />
<h4>4. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Black-and-White Beavers</span></h4><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYF8YwsSwc1OGIPTSY8ZWB4bdcc3OOO_gDeHOhgZuA0dd-l_YfWMIIc6SIbe3G7p6-Si_YwPyAlYJNOhdeXM0XtL1YBG0q8oM62WyDWMgKrtAsdSwZ8b6B7xT3gtJG3drJzcWQbmsA2nZx/s1600/ooze-news-nickelodeon-magazine-nick-mag-may-1997-the-angry-beavers-animatic-norbert-beaver-nicktoons_3.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="199" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYF8YwsSwc1OGIPTSY8ZWB4bdcc3OOO_gDeHOhgZuA0dd-l_YfWMIIc6SIbe3G7p6-Si_YwPyAlYJNOhdeXM0XtL1YBG0q8oM62WyDWMgKrtAsdSwZ8b6B7xT3gtJG3drJzcWQbmsA2nZx/s200/ooze-news-nickelodeon-magazine-nick-mag-may-1997-the-angry-beavers-animatic-norbert-beaver-nicktoons_3.png" width="200" /></a></div><br />
The director figures out how long the action will take. Then the storyboards are filmed and the recorded lines are added to simulate the final cartoon. The result, called an animatic <i>(right)</i>, is sort of a black-and-white comic book in motion. It has no color, music, or sound effects, but it shows how the dialogue and story will fit into a 22-minute episode.<br />

All the scenery is then finished without any characters. Later, Daggett and Norbert in action will be added on top of the backgrounds. That way, animators don't have to draw the same scenery again and again.<br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>6. At Last, the Animating!</b></span><br />
<br />
After these steps, which take several months, the storyboards, animatic, and backgrounds are sent to animators in Korea, who produce 26,000 cels. Cels are color drawings on clear plastic sheets. The cels are placed over a background and filmed one after another, which creates the illusion of motion. The whole animation process requires 250 people and takes about three months.<br />

Fine-Tuning</span></h4><br />
When the film returns to the U.S. from Korea, the episode looks like a cartoon <i>(left)</i>, but it still needs the sound effects and music. Adding these elements takes another three weeks. Finally, after nearly eight months of work, the episode is ready to air.<br />

<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><i>The Angry Beavers</i> creator</span></h3><br />
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Cartoonist </span><span style="color: #38761d;">Mitch Schauer</span> <i style="color: #3d85c6;">(left)</i><span style="color: #3d85c6;"> has worked on shows featuring characters such as Freakazoid and Scooby Doo. We spoke to him about his latest creation, </span><span style="color: #38761d;"><i>The Angry Beavers</i>.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Nickelodeon Magazine: How did you come up with the characters' names?</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #38761d;">Mitch Schauer:</span></b> I found them in the book <i>35,000 Plus Baby Names</i>, [which said that] in Scandinavian <i>Norbert</i> means means "brilliant hero" and <i>Daggett</i> means "bright." Although Daggett, the character, is the opposite of that.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Who are the beavers based on?</span></b> Norbert is based on me, and Daggett is based on Karl Toerge, whom I used to work with at Warner Bros. Television Animation. Karl, like Daggett, is outgoing and enthusiastic. Plus, he wears his heart on his sleeve.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Are any of Norbert's expressions like yours?</span></b> Norbert and I both use a lot of finger gestures. We both wiggle a finger back and forth to say no.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>How did you come up with the idea for the show?</b></span> I thought I'd do the opposite of what people expect from cartoon characters, which are usually happy animals. I made mine angry. Then I went down through a list of silly animals and decided on beavers.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Do you have any pets?</span></b> I have a teddy-bear hamster, a dog, a love bird, and two guinea pigs. One of them, Psycho, has the same hair as Norbert.<br />

One day, when I was working at another company, I bent down to pick something up and my pants ripped, just as my new boss was on his way to see me! Luckily one of my coworkers offered to sew them for me. In the meantime, I sat at my desk in my underwear. Fortunately, my boss didn't get to my office until right after I put the mended pants on.<br />

Now she's off to <i>The Lost World</i> as Kelly. We had a raptorvating conversation with Vanessa.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b>Nickelodeon Magazine:</b> <b><span style="color: #a64d79;">What's your character, Kelly, like?</span></b><br />
<b>Vanessa Lee Chester:</b> She's just one of the kids. She's a lot like me. We're both kind of funky.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">Did you travel for the movie?</span></b><br />
We went to Hawaii. We also filmed on the Universal Studios lot in Hollywood.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">Was the Universal lot fun?</span></b><br />
Yes. On lunch breaks, I'd ride my bicycle over to stage 35, where they had free Sega games. I was in heaven.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">Did you have a favorite scene?</span></b><br />
All the dangerous, scary ones where we were chased by dinosaurs.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">Was the Tyrannosaurus rex model as big as a real T-rex?</span></b><br />
Yes. You can see a T-rex in books and think it's cool, but when you actually see how big it is, it's scary.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">What scary stuff did the dinosaur models do?</span></b><br />
The eyes could actually move. And some robots could even bleed.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">What would you do if you saw a real T-rex?</span></b><br />

I would look at it for a minute, then run the other way, because I'd want to live and tell my story.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">Did the cast goof around?</span></b><br />
Oh yeah. Once, Vince Vaughn put my hand into a dinosaur model that had intestines hanging out. It was so disgusting.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">So you didn't feel like the only kid?</span></b><br />
I felt like the only <i>adult</i> on the film. Everyone was always playing around, throwing grapes at each other.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">How would Janie Gibbs from <i>Harriet the Spy</i> deal with dinosaurs?</span></b><br />
That's where her science would stop. She'd just say, "Wow, dinosaurs."<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">Which role was more fun, Janie or Kelly?</span></b><br />
It's hard to compare. In <i>Harriet</i>, I loved my wardrobe. I had some funky outfits. In <i>The Lost World</i>, I had one costume. By the last day, I was really sick of it.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">Which dinosaur would you like to be?</span></b><br />
Probably a raptor. They're sly and swift. They hunt in packs, and I'm always with my little clique.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">But you wouldn't hunt other kids, would you?</span></b><br />
No, that's where the line is drawn.<br />

Gak is usually made in batches of 1,300 gallons, but a small sample batch of pink was mixed just for us.<br />
<br />
Water, coloring, and powdered thickener are slowly mixed with a secret ingredient. (No one at Cosway or Mattel would tell us what the secret ingredient is, even though we are <i>very good</i> at keeping secrets.) The mixture is blended until it achieves just the right Gak texture and consistency. Then the Gak is poured into 55-gallon barrels, where it is kept until it is ready to be packaged.<br />

</span> <span style="color: #3d85c6;">NICKELODEON MAGAZINE: Did you base Arnold on anyone you know?</span></div></div>Craig Bartlett: Yes. He's based on me, though I didn't grow up in a boardinghouse under an overpass with my grandparents, and I don't have a head shaped like a football. But Arnold is about how I <i>felt</i> as a kid.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">NM: Why is Arnold's head shaped like a football?</span><br />
CB: At first, Arnold was made of clay for short animated features. I melted clay in a pot and then poured it out on wax paper. When the clay cooled, I cut out a bunch of shapes, like cookies. The football shape was just one that I had cut to build him with, and it ended up being his head.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">NM: Why did you pick a name like Helga for a character?</span><br />
CB: It's because of the Seattle, Washington, neighborhood where I grew up. It was home to a lot of Scandinavians with names like Helga and Lars Larson.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">NM: So Arnold's city is based on Seattle?</span><br />
CB: Yeah. Arnold's neighborhood is meant to look like some of the neighborhoods I knew in Seattle. But it also has a little bit of Brooklyn, New York, in it.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">NM: What were the easiest and hardest parts of growing up in a city?</span><br />
CB: I liked that everything was right nearby. The hardest part, though, was that when I was little I didn't really have a sense of a larger world outside of the city. It's the same with the kids on <i>Hey Arnold!</i> Their whole world is just the few blocks between their school and their houses.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">NM: If you could be one of the <i>Hey Arnold!</i> characters, who would you be?</span><br />
CB: I'd like to be Grandpa. He's just a really fun character to draw and write dialogue for. He's also a good guy and a straight talker.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">NM: Who do you think is cooler, Arnold or Arnold Schwarzenegger?</span><br />

<b><span style="color: magenta;">Do you like to play in the snow?</span></b><br />
<b>Yes, I love snow. I'll never forget the snowstorm we had when I was about eight years old. After the storm, a snowplow left a pile of snow that was taller than a house. The other kids and I turned the heap into a snow fort and played in it for three weeks - until it melted.</b><br />

<div>
<br />
It takes five days and 75 crew members to produce one half-hour episode of <i>Kenan & Kel</i>, Nickelodeon's spin-off of <i>All That</i>. The crew does everything from directing to making sure the stars have their favorite kind of soda (orange). Here's a peek at some of the people who worked behind the scenes for nearly four months last summer to being you the show.</div>

<div>
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Job:</span></b> Executive producer with Mike Tollin</div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">What that means:</span></b> Brian oversees the scriptwriting, casting, and hiring of the entire crew, and he even directs some episodes. He also supervises the editing of each show.</div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Quality control:</span></b> Brian has worked both behind and in front of the cameras (he played Eric on <i>Head of the Class</i>), but he prefers producing and directing. "It's more creative, because I work on the whole process," he says. "As an actor, I could only control how I said my lines."</div>

<b><span style="color: #073763;">Names:</span></b> Kevin Kopelow, Heath Seifert, and Dan Schneider (<i>above, from left</i>)</div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #073763;">Jobs:</span></b> Writers</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #073763; font-weight: bold;">What that means:</span> It takes Kevin and Heath (who work as a team) and Dan about one week to come up with the plot and write the script for each episode. And, as the show is rehearsed, they have to rewrite some of the dialogue and jokes to get bigger laughs from the studio audience.</div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #073763;">Moonlighting:</span></b> Dan, who's also the co-executive producer, guest stars as Angus, the rival of Kenan's boss. Kevin and Heath (who are both producers, too) and Dan also write for <i>All That</i>.</div>

<div>
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Job:</span></b> Producer</div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">What that means:</span></b> Merrie's job is all about the nuts and bolts of the show. She makes a schedule that lets the cast and crew know where they should be and what they should be doing every minute of the 10-hour workdays. During the summer, each week's schedule would lead up to Friday night's taping in front of a studio audience.</div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">On a <i>roll</i>:</span></b> "I'm pretty much like a fast-food manager," says Merrie. "It's like I know who's making the fries, who's cleaning the bathroom, and who's working the drive-thru."</div>

<b><span style="color: #073763;">What that means:</span></b> Bruce makes sure Kenan, Kel, and all the other actors have the right things to wear in every scene. For an average show, he needs to buy or sew more than 20 different outfits.</div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #073763;"><i>Sew</i> much fun:</span></b> Bruce's favorite part of his job is creating looks for brand-new characters. He once made up costumes for people from imaginary countries. "That's when my job gets really good," he says.</div>

<b><span style="color: #073763;">Jobs:</span></b> Stars</h3>
</div>
<div>
<b><br /></b>
<b>We asked Kenan Thompson <i>(left)</i> and Kel Mitchell about their new show.</b></div>
<div>
<br />
<b><span style="color: #073763;">Nickelodeon Magazine:</span></b> How is <i>Kenan & Kel</i> different from <i>All That</i>?</div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #073763;">Kenan:</span></b> Well, on <i>Kenan & Kel</i> we play the same characters every week. We're always getting into trouble. I'm always scheming, trying to come up with a get-rich-quick plan. And Kel follows me because he's my best friend.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #073763;">NM:</span></b> Does that happen in real life, too?</div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #073763;">Kel:</span></b> Sometimes, though in real life it's not always Kenan doing the leading.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #073763;">NM:</span></b> Do you like the fact that your characters have your real names?</div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #073763;">Kenan:</span></b> Yeah - but we're not really like them. Kel is a lot brighter in real life, and I'm not as much of a schemer as I am on TV.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #073763;">NM:</span></b> Did you help develop your characters?</div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #073763;">Kenan:</span></b> Yes. The writers gave us a skeleton of the characters, and we put the meat on them. We bring our own shenanigans into the show.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #073763;">NM:</span></b> Why isn't the show called <i>Kel & Kenan</i>?</div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #073763;">Kel:</span></b> <i>Kenan & Kel</i> just flows better. Anyway, we're a team, so I don't mind.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Kenan & Kel</i> airs Saturdays at 8 PM*.</b><br />
<br />
*Show airs one hour earlier in the central time zone. Times subject to change. Check local listings for details.<br />

<b><span style="color: #073763;">Nick stars David Sidoni and Melissa Joan Hart are the spokespeople for Nickelodeon's <i>Kids Pick the President</i> campaign coverage.

<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Nickelodeon Magazine:</span> Did you get bored during all those speeches?<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">David Sidoni:</span> No. There were huge video screens where I could either watch the speakers or read along, because the words ran across the screen. I also looked around to see people's reactions.<br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6;">DS:</span> A lot of funny sayings were on buttons. They were often about Socks, the Clintons' cat. The Republican buttons read THROW SOCKS OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE. The Democrats' read WE LOVE SOCKS.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">NM:</span> What is the funniest thing that happened at either convention?<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">DS:</span> The craziest, coolest thing happened at the Democratic Convention. All of a sudden, "Macarena" was played over the loudspeakers, and the whole place went nuts. I did the Macarena with 75-year-old delegates.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">NM:</span> During the Democratic Convention, was it exciting to walk around United Center, the home of the Chicago Bulls?<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">DS:</span> Of course. I'm a huge sports fan. I was excited to be on the convention floor but even more excited to be on the floor where the Bulls play.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">NM:</span> Did you ever run for class president?<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">DS:</span> I did in the sixth grade. I asked 16 of my friends to hold a 30-foot-long banner in front of me while I was giving a speech. The banner read VOTE FOR SIDONI. HE'S NO PHONY. AND THAT'S NO BALONEY. And I won.<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #073763;">What it's about:</span></b> Henry and June are best friends who live inside a comic book. They pop up a few times each episode - letting their imaginations run wild, dreaming up nutty situations, and introducing the other <i>KABLAM!</i> segments.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #073763;">Get used to hearing:</span></b> "Kablammy" and "Kablammerific" to describe anything that's good or funny.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #073763;">How it's done:</span></b> Computer animation: The pictures are hand-drawn and then animated using computers.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #073763; font-weight: bold;">What it's about:</span> Sniz and Fondue are two wacky cats who get into a lot of trouble. Sniz, who's smaller (and louder), drags the nervous Fondue into the thick of things.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #073763;">Get used to hearing:</span></b> "Cut me an over-sized wedge!" which is Sniz and Fondue's way of saying "Give me a break!" When Sniz is very excited, he says, "Snap me down!"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #073763;">How it's done:</span></b> Cel animation. Several slightly different character drawings are made on celluloid (clear plastic sheets). One at a time, the drawings (or cels) are placed on a background drawing and then photographed. When all those photos are run in order, it looks like the character is moving. Cel animation is used to make many cartoons, including <i>Rugrats</i>.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #073763;">How it's done:</span></b> CHUCKIMATION and stop-action. CHUCKIMATION is pretty low-tech. To make the characters look like they're flying, people off-camera throw (or chuck) the action figures into the camera frame.</div>

<br />
In stop-action animation, 3-D objects (such as the action figures) are photographed each time they are moved. When all those photographs are seen in rapid succession, the figures look like they're moving on their own. <i>James and the Giant Peach</i> was filmed using stop-action.</div>

<div>
When I started working for Nickelodeon, I went to a party as the color orange. All my clothes - including my socks and shoes - were orange. I even painted my hands, neck, face, and ears with orange greasepaint. And when I got home, I tried to wash the paint off, but my ears stayed orange. They looked like they were radioactive. It took about a week for me to get all the paint off.</div>

<div>
<b><span style="color: #660000;">What was your favorite candy as a kid?</span></b></div>
<div>
Sweetarts were my favorite candy until I was about nine years old. One day I bought a giant Sweetart. I ate about half of it and couldn't eat any more. The other half sat in the fridge for almost a year, until it was finally thrown away. That Sweetart conquered me.</div>

<b>Michael Maronna:</b> I come home from work, plop down in bed, and put on the TV.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">NM: Do you ever take afternoon naps?</span><br />

<b>Name:</b> Larisa Oleynik, age 15<br />
<b>Show:</b> <i>The Secret World of Alex Mack</i><br />
<b>Character:</b> Alex Mack<br />
<b>Favorite Snack:</b> Cookies and milk<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Nickelodeon Magazine: What do you like to do on weekday afternoons?</span><br />
<br />
<b>Larisa Oleynik:</b> If I don't have school, then I usually just come home and watch TV or read. And sometimes I go swimming.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">NM: Do you ever take afternoon naps?</span><br />
<br />
<b>LO:</b> Oh yeah, all the time. Sometimes I eat lunch in about five minutes, and then I'll go into my dressing room and take a nap on the couch.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">NM: Who decides when you can get a haircut?</span><br />
<br />
<b>LO:</b> I have to ask the producers if I want to change anything about my appearance. I just cut my hair about three inches. I wanted to cut it more, but the producers wouldn't let me. Now, I want to get my ears pierced. I'm talking to them about it.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">NM: What are your favorite Nickelodeon shows?</span><br />
<br />
<b>LO:</b> I watch <i>All That</i> right after <i>Alex Mack</i> because I know all the kids. They're just as hilarious in real life as they are on the show - maybe even more so. I watch <i>Rugrats</i>, too.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">NM: What Nickelodeon character are you most like?</span><br />
<br />
<b>LO:</b> I'm a combination of Alex and Clarissa. The part of me that's like Clarissa is the part of me that loves to be different and isn't afraid to express herself. The part of me that's like Alex is a little more reserved.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">NM: Do you watch any other Nickelodeon shows?</span><br />
<br />
<b>MJH:</b> I like <i>Rugrats</i>. I like the way the animation is seen from a kid's point of view. Everything is really low to the ground.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">NM: How did you memorize your lines for <i>Clarissa Explains It All</i>?</span><br />
<br />
<b>MJH:</b> I would memorize scripts half at a time. I'd learn about twenty-five pages on Wednesday nights and about twenty-five pages on Thursday nights. But, of course, it had to be after [<i>Beverly Hills</i>] <i>90210</i>.<br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;">NM: If you could play any other Nickelodeon character, who would it be and why?</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><b>What are you favorite sports teams?</b></span><br />
<br />
I'm a die-hard New York sports fan, probably because I've lived in New York my whole life. I like the Mets for baseball and the Knicks for basketball.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><b>What was your favorite subject in school?</b></span><br />
<br />
My favorite subject was history. In college, I studied history and English. I know so much history that when I watch <i>Jeopardy!</i>, I can answer many of the questions. I like being able to do that.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #073763;">Do you like to talk on the phone?</span></b><br />
<br />
I'd rather talk in person. I like to see how people react to what I'm saying. When I was a kid, I never really called anyone except girls and whenever I did, I would get nervous. That's probably why I don't like talking on the phone.<br />

</center>
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">You know what it means to help, but what's The Big Help? It's Nickelodeon's way of getting kids to change the world through volunteer work. Help can be anything from tutoring a friend to organizing a recycling campaign. Last year, kids pledged more than 54 million hours to The Big Help. How much time can </span><i style="color: #073763;">you</i><span style="color: #073763;"> give this year?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Tune into Nickelodeon's Big Help-a-Thon on <b>Sunday, September 29,</b> to pledge some time. Then, on <b>Saturday, November 23,</b> The Big Help Day, millions of kids across the country will begin to fulfill their pledges.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">You don't have to stop there. You can keep on giving throughout the year.</span><br />

</span></b> <b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Do you have a nickname?</span></b><br />
<br />
Not really. Some people call me Herbie. When I was a kid, I had a couple of nicknames. For about a month, my brother teased me and called me Egbert, after a character in a W.C. Fields movie.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">What were you like as a kid?</span></b><br />
<br />
I was tall and skinny, and I tried lot of different things to put on weight. I used to have a powdered breakfast drink with every meal. I also kept a checklist on the refrigerator to record all the food I ate. But I never succeeded in gaining weight.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">What sports do you play?</span></b><br />
<br />
I play touch football, baseball, and basketball. I like baseball and basketball the best. And in high school, I played lacrosse.<br />
<br />
<b>Do you have any questions for Herb? He'll answer some in a future issue. Send them to:</b><br />

Brand-new episodes of <i>The Secret World of Alex Mack</i> begin at the end of August during <b><span style="color: orange;">SNICK</span></b>. But don't get too comfy watching <i>Alex Mack</i> on Saturdays. Starting October 8th, the show will move to Tuesdays and Thursdays. That's because Nickelodeon gets to stay up an extra half hour - until 8:30pm - every weeknight. Watch <i>Hey Arnold</i> (below), a new Nicktoon about a nine-year-old boy growing up in a big city, on Mondays and Wednesdays. And on Fridays, check out KaBLaM, where comics and cartoons collide.<br />

I'd been singing in church since I was five years old, so it was always something I did. My mother was a professional singer, and she guided me after I decided this was what I was going to do.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div><b><span style="color: #e69138;">Nickelodeon Magazine:</span></b> <span style="color: #20124d;">How can kids get better at doing voices?</span></div><b><span style="color: orange;">Jess Harnell:</span></b> Imitate everyone. Imitate your brothers, imitate your aunts, imitate people on TV. Even if your imitation isn't good, then you've just invented a new voice. But I always tell kids that whatever their talent is-whether it's voices or drawing or anything-they have to practice.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #e69138;">NM:</span></b> <span style="color: #20124d;">As a kid, did you think you'd get paid to make voices?</span><br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">JH:</span></b> I had a feeling I would. I always did voices. When I was twelve, I saw a behind-the-scenes taping of a cartoon. I remember watching the actors do their parts.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #e69138;">NM:</span></b> <span style="color: #20124d;">Do you recommend your line of work to kids?</span><br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">JH:</span></b> Absolutely. Rob Paulsen [the voice of Yakko] says that we're getting paid to do the stuff that used to get us in trouble at school.<br />

<i>Tress MacNeille is the voice of Dot.</i><br />
<span style="color: #e69138; font-weight: bold;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #3d85c6; font-weight: bold;">Nickelodeon Magazine:</span> <span style="color: #20124d;">Are you anything like Dot?</span><br />
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Tress MacNeille:</span></b> Very much. I'm adorable and assertive. I sometimes lose my temper. I understand Dot because I know girls need to speak up and make their wishes known.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">NM:</span></b> <span style="color: #20124d;">Is Dot the cutest character you've ever played?</span><br />
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">TM:</span></b> Female cartoon characters usually are adorable. Either that or they're evil. But Dot is absolutely the cutest. She's smart, too.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">NM:</span></b> <span style="color: #20124d;">Is her voice based on anyone you know?</span><br />
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">TM:</span></b> Not really. I was shown a drawing of Dot. So the voice had to be right for someone small and cute in a flounced skirt.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">NM:</span></b> <span style="color: #20124d;">Will Dot ever catch Mel Gibson?</span><br />
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">TM:</span></b> She has hopes. But it's all about the chase. Once he's caught, she might get bored.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">NM:</span></b> <span style="color: #20124d;">When you were a kid, did you ever imagine you'd be doing this for a living?</span><br />
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">TM:</span></b> I wanted to very much, ever since I was about ten. I've realized my life's ambition.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">NM:</span></b> <span style="color: #20124d;">Did you have brothers like Yakko and Wakko?</span><br />
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">TM:</span></b> Yes, I had five brothers and two sisters, and there was a lot of yakkin' and a lot of wackiness.<br />

What would you do if you were trapped on a spaceship with your teacher and assistant principal for the next seven years?<br />
<br />
<i>Space Cases</i>, Nickelodeon's new science-fiction show, is the story of five kids who find out for themselves. Set in the year 2261, <i>Space Cases</i> follows five students (the "space cases") who study - or rather, <i>don't</i> study - at the Starcademy, a training school for intergalactic heroes.<br />
<br />
Their troubles begin when they are sent to a special three-week summer-school program. One day, the students wander aboard a mysterious alien ship, which is empty - except for a robot. Their teacher and assistant principal follow them on board - and are about to tell the kids to return to school - when the ship suddenly blasts off through a freak hole in space. The ship ends up on the other side of the galaxy, and the shortest course back to the Starcademy will take seven years to complete. The space cases are trapped - and their adventures begin.<br />
<br />
<i>Space Cases</i> premieres on Saturday, March 2, at 9 PM.<br />

</tbody></table><b><br />
</b> <b>Bill Mumy</b>, the show's co-creator (with Peter David), knows a lot about science fiction. From ages 10 to 14, he starred in the classic TV show <i>Lost in Space</i>. Currently, he stars on <i>Babylon 5</i>, another TV sci-fi adventure show. We asked him some spacey questions.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #e06666;">Nickelodeon Magazine:</span></b> What would you do if you met an alien?<br />
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Bill Mumy:</span></b> I guess it would depend on the alien. If he were friendly, I'd find out what kind of music he listens to. I would ask him if he'd like to make a guest appearance on <i>Space Cases</i>. He wouldn't have to go to makeup.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #e06666;">NM:</span></b> What makes <i>Space Cases</i> different from other TV shows?<br />
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">BM:</span></b> It's a sci-fi show about kids. Another thing that makes it different is that there are no hand weapons. People aren't going around blasting one another.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #e06666;">NM:</span></b> If you could ride a rocket into space, would you?<br />
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">BM:</span></b> If I could go to the airport and get on a spacecraft, I'd do it in a minute.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #e06666;">NM:</span></b> What's your favorite planet?<br />
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">BM:</span></b> My favorite planet is Earth, but it needs a lot of work.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #e06666;">NM:</span></b> Would you want to live in space?<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>BM:</b></span> I'd rather live in Hawaii. But California isn't so bad.<br />

Only when I'm trying to look really smart!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>What was the worst smell you ever smelled, and where were you when you smelled it?</b></span><br />
When I was growing up, the New Jersey Meadowlands smelled like 40,000 skunks had had a spraying party. (That was before the property was cleaned up and a sports complex was built there.)<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">What is your favorite smell?</span></b><br />
My favorite smell is chocolate-chip cookies being baked in the oven - or maybe it's brownies.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Are you as funky as Nickelodeon's characters?</span></b><br />
I've always thought of myself as down-to-earth and funky. But, to make sure I answered your question correctly, I looked up <i>funky</i> in the dictionary. One definition is "having a offensive odor." The next time someone calls me funky, I'm going to ask them exactly what they mean by it.<br />

<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br />
</span> <span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="color: #a64d79;"><b>Nickelodeon has been on the United Kingdom since 1993, where it's known as Nick UK. Although Nick UK is very similar to Nickelodeon in America, there are some differences. NICKELODEON MAGAZINE found out about them when we visited Nick UK in London, England.</b></span><br />
<span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br />
</span> <span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">The most unusual part of Nick UK is </span><i style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">NickAlive</i><span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">. Between shows, hosts do live broadcasts from two studios. One studio is in a London shopping mall called the Trocadero. It has glass walls, so the crowds at the mall can walk by, look in, and even end up on TV. It's the kind of place where alnmost anything can happen.</span><br />

Computers and fancy camera work are used to create three-dimensional backgrounds, such as a Gak cave and kitchen. The hosts can interact with these backgrounds.</span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br />
</span> <span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">In both settings, <i>NickAlive</i> involves lots of kids. Every weekend (and each Wednesday during school vacations), kids vote by phone for their favorite show. The show that gets the most votes airs, usually within the house. For <i>Coast to Coast</i>, eight kids were chosen to travel across America, from New York to California, in a motor home. They were given camcorders to tape whatever they wanted during the month-long journey, which took place in August. Short segments of the trip will air this fall.</span><br />

<span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Nick UK isn't always live TV.

Each week a different school is invaded. Teachers are forced to dress up in chicken suits, kids get to tell the truth about school lunches, and a student's romantic crush is exposed.</span><br />

We've done all sorts of research on the family, so I know all these silly secrets. I've got a reputation for being quite mischievous. Well, one family decided to get me back. I was talking on the phone with them when suddenly they hung up. I was baffled - I hadn't said anything rude to them. Suddenly, they burst through the studio door and covered me in custard pies. I thought I was talking to them at home, but they were in the back room of the studio the whole time. That was the moment I wish had never happened.</span><br />
