## Synopsis

Fillmore! (2002-2004) is an American animated comedy series created by Scott M. Gimple for ABC, produced by Walt Disney Television Animation. Former delinquent Cornelius Fillmore (voiced by Orlando Brown) has turned over a new leaf and now patrols the hallways of X Middle School as a self-appointed force for justice. He is joined by Ingrid Third (voiced by Tara Strong), a classmate with a photographic memory who makes a sharp investigative partner. Their engine is simple and comic: each episode they pursue students who break the rules, while dodging the pressure of Jr. Commissioner Horatio Vallejo (voiced by Horatio Sanz) and the image-obsessed Principal Dawn Folsom (voiced by Wendie Malick), who cares more about how the school looks than what is really happening in it. The series runs two seasons and twenty-six episodes, built as standalone case-of-the-week stories with a tongue-in-cheek detective parody flavor. The tone is breezy, playful and wry, with a mock-noir sense of drama played for laughs. Fans of Recess, Clone High and Daria will find a similar mix of school-set mischief and deadpan humor aimed at a young audience. Its brightly drawn, gently absurd world offers an easygoing, comforting watch for families.
