Fillmore! is an American animated television series created by Scott M. Gimple[1] for ABC and, later, Toon Disney. It originally ran for two seasons from 2002 to 2004. A homage to popular police dramas of the 1970s, Fillmore! is centered on reformed juvenile delinquent Cornelius Fillmore and his new partner, Ingrid Third, members of the Safety Patrol at X Middle School.[2]
It was the last series produced by Walt Disney Television Animation for ABC, before producing shows exclusively with Disney Channel and its sister channels. It maintains a dedicated fanbase and is considered a cult hit. Reruns later aired on Disney Channel, Toon Disney, and Disney XD.
Premise
Seventh grader Cornelius Fillmore (voiced by Orlando Brown), a juvenile delinquent with a record, was caught raiding the school's new chalk shipment. He was "arrested" and given a choice by the safety patrol officer who caught him: either help him solve another case or spend the rest of middle school in detention. Fillmore decided to help out and he eventually decided to join up with the safety patrol.
The show is based around him and his partner Ingrid Third (voiced by Tara Strong) at X Middle School, which is located in the suburbs of Minneapolis and Saint Paul in Minnesota. The show's format parodies that of hard-boiled police dramas.[3] X's safety patrol is much more actively involved in student behavior than a typical school's safety patrol, and officers often seem to spend more time patrolling than normally attending class, although they can be seen attending at times.
As part of the Safety Patrol at X Middle School, Fillmore and Ingrid solve crimes and mysteries. The series usually presents kid-friendly versions of common crimes, such as stolen scooters, smuggling tartar sauce, holding illegal frog races, and counterfeiting collector cards.
Characters
Every character is named after a street in San Francisco, California.[4]
Main
- Cornelius C. Fillmore (voiced by Orlando Brown) is a seventh grader at X Middle School and the main protagonist of the series. He is a member of the Safety Patrol. Fillmore was previously a juvenile delinquent until Wayne Liggit recruited him into the Safety Patrol as an alternate to spending the rest of middle school in detention. Fillmore is known for going above and beyond the standards of other Safety Patrol officers. He almost never loses a target even if it means destroying school property.
- Ingrid Third (voiced by Tara Strong) is Fillmore's goth best friend and partner on the X Middle School Safety Patrol. Before her arrival at X Middle School, Ingrid was a delinquent and was sent to a reform school in Nepal for an incident involving a stinkbomb and a piñata. Ingrid partners with Fillmore after he helped her clear her name.
- Horatio Vallejo (voiced by Horatio Sanz) is the junior commissioner of the Safety Patrol and Fillmore's immediate superior. Vallejo is often put at odds against Fillmore, such as when he is forced to take Fillmore off a case even though he does not want to, or Fillmore is close to solving it. He also often rebukes Fillmore for his reckless destruction of school property.
- Karen Tehama (voiced by Lauren Tom) is the crime scene investigator on the Safety Patrol who has a keen interest in forensics and can usually be counted on to know the word on the street.
- Joseph Anza (voiced by Danny Tamberelli) is the partner of Karen Tehama, known for his bodyguarding training and like Tehama, tends to know the word on the street.
- Danny O'Farrell (voiced by Kyle Sullivan) is the crime scene photographer for the Safety Patrol, though it is often joked that he should not be qualified to be a Safety Patroller by Vallejo. He has a tendency to get on other people's nerves and has some deep thoughts, overreacting, and weird ideas.
- Dawn S. Folsom (voiced by Wendie Malick) is the principal of X Middle School. Folsom often threatens to turn the Safety Patrol office into something else if they are unable to solve the case. However, she does much for her students and staff, sometimes anonymously.
- Vice Principal Raycliff (voiced by Jeff Probst) is the school's vice principal and Folsom's right-hand man. Though he acts like a secretary or as a vice mayor in crime shows, he never really says much, but can be counted on to gush out school facts, figures and catchy metaphors at the drop of a hat.
Recurring
- Mr. Collingwood (voiced by Kyle Gass) is a teacher at X Middle School.
- Augie Sansome (voiced by Frankie Muniz in "Test of the Tested", Kiel Holmes in "This Savior, a Snitch"): In the former episode, he was suspected by Fillmore and Ingrid of stealing the answer sheets to the S.A.T.T.Y. 9 test, but what he really stole turned out to be packets of tartar sauce. In the latter episode, he becomes a witness to a set up on Filmore and testifies at a student council meeting to clear Fillmore's name.
- Mrs. Cornwall (voiced by Holland Taylor) is an algebra teacher at X Middle School and a student in 1956. She strongly believes in the school's honor code.
- Librarian Lendrum (voiced by Brian George) is X Middle School's librarian.
- Cheri Shotwell (voiced by Debi Derryberry) is the lively, bubbly, blonde-haired cheerleader who also serves as a reporter or interviewer. She also frequently hosts parties and sleepovers.
- Philsky (voiced by Michael Welch) is the school's reporter, who usually co-anchors with Cheri.
- Vern Natoma (voiced by Marcus Toji): Editor-in-chief of the school's newspaper.
- Professor Third (voiced by Anthony Head): College professor and the father of Ingrid and Ariella.
- Jamie Townsend (voiced by Chris Marquette) is a smart student who wears glasses.
- Proper Kid (voiced by Shaun Fleming) is a blonde-haired boy who is a member of the Paddle Boat Club and dresses as a sea captain. He is so called due to his always pointing out what is fit.
- Lab Coat Kid #1 (voiced by Chris Marquette): As his title suggests, he is one of the kids who wear lab coats and often involved in the lab or science class.
- Wade (voiced by Michael Welch) is another blonde X Middle School reporter.
- Wayne Ligget (voiced by Lukas Behnken) was Fillmore's original Safety Patrol partner before he eventually moved away and was replaced by Ingrid when she came to X. Wayne and Fillmore reunite in the episode "South of Friendship, North of Honor", where Fillmore helps Wayne take down the school's distorted patrol sheriff and Wayne is subsequently named as his school's new safety patrol sheriff.
- Frankie Polk (voiced by Lukas Behnken) is a blonde-haired boy who has an affinity for sketching and painting. He is president of the Art Club.
- Sarah Beel (voiced by Mae Whitman) is one of several students at X Middle School who either bear malice to the school mascot, Lobstee the Lobster, or to anything else associated with lobstering.
Production
The theme song for the show was written and performed by filk band Ookla the Mok. The instrumental is taken from the intro to the band's 1998 song "Das Über Tüber, or the Mystery of Mr. P.".
The announcer of the series was voice actor Don LaFontaine, best known for his catchphrase "In a world..."
