Character Biographies

Miss Spider - Miss Spider is the nicest biggie in Sunny Patch. Together with her husband Holley, she raised a family and adopted three more bugs. Miss Spider is very kind and generous and never goes back on her word. She has many friends such as her husband, Holley, the red ants, Ted and Ned and the queen bee, Beetrice. She's even nice to Spiderus, who once tried to become her husband and is normally mean to everyone else. Miss Spider was adopted as a young spiderling when she lost her family. Thus, she has a special concern for orphans. Miss Spider is a fruit spider and would never eat any other insect. Miss Spider does, however, greatly enjoy chanterelle mushrooms. Miss Spider is voiced by Kristin Davis, who is known for her roles in programs such as General Hospital and Melrose Place.

Holley Spider - Holley, is Miss Spider's husband and a great help to her. He enjoys playing with his children and is always patient. Like Miss Spider, he is very kind, although he also possesses great caution and wisdom. He is often seen playing a guitar that is made of spider webs and is crafted from wood bark and oak. Overall, he is very adoring and a loving buggie. His voice actor is Robert Smith, whose work can also be heard in programs such as JoJo's Circus and Rolie Polie Olie.

Grandma Betty Beetle - Betty Beetle is Miss Spider's "Mom." She found Miss Spider out and alone when she was very young and adopted her. Betty Beetle is warm and kind, just like Miss Spider. She's a good Grandma to all of Miss Spider's little buglets. Barbara Budd is the voice of Betty Beetle. She can also be seen in Stunt Dawgs and Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

Uncle Gus - Uncle Gus has a somewhat country way of speaking. He is wise and knows about many things, such as astronomy. Uncle Gus is voiced by Peter Oldring, who has done voices for Pelswick, among other programs.

Squirt - Squirt is green and is often seen wearing a pink and green cap. He is one of five spider children who live in the Hollow Tree. Squirt is a fun-loving sort who is somewhat independent at times. However, he often has a lot of fun playing with his many siblings. Squirt is full of energy and drive. He often dreams of flying like his winged adopted siblings, but usually has to settle for surfing a web. The voice of Squirt, Scott Beaudin, can also be heard as Peep in Peep and the Big Wide World and Fox in the most recent episodes of Franklin.

Shimmer - She is a bright-pink jewel beetle and the oldest female of the siblings. She likes to fly very high up in the air with Dragon and likes to play flying games. Shimmer lost her mother and father when she was a young buggie. She was blown away in a storm and was never sure what happened to them. Shimmer's quest to find her parents was the subject of the feature-length special The Prince, the Princess and the Bee. Shimmer's voice actress is Rebecca Brenner.

Bounce - He is a blue bedbug who loves to hop around with his brothers and sisters. Bounce's best friend is Dragon because they both found each other before Miss Spider asked them to come into their family. Both Bounce and Dragon never knew their parents, but they believe that they were possibly eaten by a big owl named Hoot. Bounce misses his family a lot but he also likes his new family, The Spider Family. Bounce is very fond of eating. He also is very young and is rarely shy to voice is opinion. He is also highly energetic and very "happy-go-lucky." Bounce is rarely upset or shy. Julie Lemieux, the voice of Bounce, is a very prolific voice actress who can also be heard in JoJo's Circus, the recent CGI Care Bears features, Pelswick and many other programs.

Dragon - He is a purple dragonfly who loves to fly around with his sister, Shimmer. Dragon has many friends such as Squirt, Shimmer and his best buggie pal, Bounce. Dragon is an excellent flier, capable of beating his wings thirty times per second. Dragon once considered flying away with an air show, but decided to stay with his family. Something of a rebel at times, Dragon can often be bossy. He will also sometimes do things that may not be entirely right, but he is usually a fairly nice bug. Mitchell Eisner provides the voice of Dragon. He is Rabbit in the most recent season of Franklin and also Ka-Chung in The Save-Ums.

Wiggle - He is a little bluish colored spider who kind of looks a bit like a blueberry. He always wears his watermelon cap and carries little watermelon balls right beside his waist. Wiggle is very caring who likes to play with Squirt and Spinner. Wiggle usually likes to explore Sunny Patch with Spinner while his family is away doing something else. Wiggle is generally soft-spoken. He is also very nervous and sometimes easily scared. Wiggle has a creative side and is revealed to be something of an artist in "Wiggle's Squiggles." In the first season of the program, he is never seen web-surfer, but in the second season, Squirt helps him to learn how. Wiggle's voice actor, Marc McMulkin, is Bear in the most recent season of Franklin. He also voices Noah on Jacob Two-Two.

Spinner - Spinner wears glasses and is rather intelligent. He is also very good at spinning webs. Once not a very good athlete, his brother Dragon helped him to play sports such as basketberry. He is generally kind and he likes to scavenge other objects such as berries, leaves and other sophisticated things. Spinner has inherited his father's talent for music and likes to play soft songs on the violin. In the first season of the program, Spinner is voiced by Austin Di Iulio. He was also the voice of Skeebo on the first season of JoJo's Circus and Timothy on Timothy Goes to School. Cameron Ansell takes on the role in the second season. He is the most recent voice of Arthur on Arthur and is Noodle on The Save-Ums.

Pansy - Pansy is one of the two six-year-old twin girls. Although she loves her twin sister Snowdrop, she wants to be seen as her own spider. But when it comes down to it, she and Snowdrop are a dynamic duo. They are a good team. They do everything better together. Pansy is a tomboy, a natural athlete. She is the most coordinated of our bug pack. She can get herself out of practically any sticky situation. Because of her natural ability she takes chances. Chances she shouldn't always take. When Pansy gets in trouble, it's usually Snowdrop that comes to her rescue. Pansy loves to be at the center of attention. She's very competitive and doesn't like it when someone can do something better than she can. She can surf circles around Squirt, which irritates him royally. Pansy is not very good at weaving webs, a talent that her brother Snowdrop possesses. Aaryn Doyle, the voice of Pansy, also voices Foo on The Save-Ums.

Snowdrop - Snowdrop is pansy's six year old twin. Where Pansy is all about the physical, Snowdrop is about the cerebral. She is a dreamer, an inventor and a budding scientist. Snowdrop is a keen observer of the world around her. She is a marvelous engineer and craftsbug. Her webs are masterpieces and she already has a reputation in sunny patch for their delicate intricacy. She's the first to put together an acorn shell buggy for the annual sunny patch go-cart race. Her best pal and sister pansy is sure to race it to victory. Moving at her own pace, Snowdrop is a kid who easily gets lost in reverie, stopping every step to marvel at a flower unfolding or cloud changing shape or to collect tidbits for her next invention. She often lags behind the family and her sister Pansy always keeps a watchful eye out for her. There isn't much that can ruffle snowdrop's blissful nature. She has a very, very long fuse. But when Snowdrop blows, she blows and all the other kids run for cover. Snowdrop's voice, Alexandra Lai, is also the voice of Dori the Glow Grub on The Save-Ums.

Spiderus - He is a spider, but unlike Miss Spider and her family, he's carnivorous. Spiderus is oftentimes something of a troublemaker, but with the help of Miss Spider and others, he's slowly learning kindness. Spiderus is married to Spindella.

Profilic, acclaimed voice actor Tony Jay, who provided the voice of Spiderus, was nominated for both a daytime Emmy award and an Annie award for his work on this role. Unfortunately, he passed away in August, 2006. The status of the character in future episodes is unknown at this time.

Spindella - Unlike Spiderus, Spindella is usually kind and sweet-natured. She met Spiderus and the two of them fell in love at first sight. Kristina Nicoll, the voice of Spindella, also voices Motherboard on the show Cyberchase.

Ted and Ned - The laziest ants you'll ever find. Hive insects hardly, Ted and Ned are always looking for free food or anything else they can get someone to give them as a handout. Ted and Ned are pretty freewheeling and look for any excuse they can find to take it easy. They love comfort and don't like work. Ted is voiced by Philip Williams (Cadillacs and Dinosaurs and Pippi Longstocking) while Ned is voiced by Jonathan Wilson (Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs and Atomic Betty.)

Snake - There are actually many snakes that inhabit Sunny Patch, but to date, they have all looked the same and been voiced by the same voice actress, Alison Sealy-Smith. The snakes will sometimes attack and eat bugs, so they generally try to keep a wide berth of them. However, some others snakes are perfectly safe and wouldn't hurt anyone. Since the bugs don't generally know which or which, they stay cautious by trying to avoid them all. Snake is voiced by Alison Sealy-Smith, of Birdz and This is Wonderland.

Beetrice - Beetrice is the royal bee brigade. As the Queen Bee, she is somewhat authoritarian in nature, but she's also a very nice and kindly individual to be around. Queen Beetrice has many bee young including her most recent charge, Princess Honey in The Prince, the Princess and The Bee. This regal bug is voiced by Catherine Gallant. Her television roles include Flying Rhino Junior High and X-Men.

Princess Honey - A real handful! Honey may be newborn, but she can already speak and possesses a fierce independent streak. Honey knows that she's a princess and feels that she should be able to do what she wants. She's learning, though, that even princesses don't get everything they want. Princess Honey went on a high-flying adventure in The Prince, the Princess and the Bee. It is not yet known if she will be seen in any other episodes of the program. Isabel de Carteret, the voice of honey, has a recurring role on the new Nelvana CGI animated series Jane and the Dragon.

Snack - A young ladybug. He's a friend to Miss Spider's little buglets, but isn't seen all that often. He also attend school with them. Snack's voice actor is unknown.

The Bugs Bunny Show was ABC's second prime-time animated series, along with The Flintstones and aired at 7:30 pm on Sundays. Not only was it one of the earliest broadcasts of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies on televsion, it was popular for kids since it was a cartoon. Each episode was directed by a handful of senior Warner staffers, including, Friz Freleng, Chuck Jones, Robert McKimson, and Maurice Noble. The show would open with Bugs and Daffy marching out on stage singing "This Is It" which became an instint musical hit among animation and television fans. Then Bugs would introduce a theme or a special guest host. Three cartoons would run and segments were placed between each one. After the second segment a commerical would run. The commerical would exclusively feature one or more of Warner cartoon star which was usually Bugs adverising either Kool-Aid, Tang, or Post Cereals. At the end "Coming Attractions" would be viewed as a sort of "sneak preview" of next week's show. The show was compised of exclusively post-1948 Warner cartoons since it was ownership of the shorts was divided-which Guild Films had owned most of the black and white cartoons while A.A.P. owned all the pre-1948 color shorts-and the 1931-1933 black and white Merrie Melodies. ABC stopped running The Bugs Bunny Show and soon CBC in Canada started showing an/the entire 3rd season in the early 70s, since ABC had cancelled The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour for "Welcome Back, Kotter". These "new" episodes were actually just color version of the older episodes-with the three cartoons changed. With this additional 3rd "cheater" season, there were 78 episodes total. Today The Bugs Bunny Show remains one of the best and most memorable programs in television history. MORE INFORMATION Until 1966 all 52 episodes were originally shown in black and white. Later all 52 episodes were put into color. In September, 1971, the half-hour Bugs Bunny Show reappeared, on Saturday mornings.moreless
