The television series aired on the Qubo blocks on NBC, Ion Television and Telemundo as well as the Qubo channel, and later on TBN and Smile of A Child. It ran for three seasons, with the first season consisting of television broadcasts of the six original home videos. Following its conclusion in 2008, it continued in reruns until 2014. The series was a top-ranked show on NBC's Qubo Saturday morning kids block in 2008.[6]
Overview
editTwin siblings Jason and Michelle are spending the summer with their British grandmother, who they call Grandmum, in Pennsylvania's Poconos region. She has a collection of kitschy ceramic figurines, the most prized of which is four penguins in a rocket ship, a honeymoon gift from her late husband. In the first video, the twins accidentally drop the ship; instead of breaking, it flies into the air and reveals the four penguin figurines are alive and are the crew of the spaceship. One of the twins is then pulled into the ship, using the crew's Galeezle (shrinking) device, and taken on a galactic adventure.[7]
The ensuing adventure ties into the moral dilemma Jason and Michelle had struggled with in the opening scene. For example, in the debut episode, Trouble on Planet Wait-Your-Turn, the twins struggle with taking turns playing a new video game and looking through their Granddad's telescope before Jason is transported to a planet of alien vacuums who also have trouble taking turns.[8]
Characters
editMain
edit- Zidgel (voiced by Ron Wells (season 1) and John Payne (seasons 2–3) is the Rockhopper's captain and a king, who resembles both James T. Kirk and Ted Baxter.[9]
- Midgel (voiced by Greg Mills (season 1) and Paul Dobson (seasons 2–3) is the Rockhopper's engineer and pilot. He sometimes shouts "Banzai!" and pulls out a bonsai tree to trim a branch before driving the ship.[9]
- Fidgel (voiced by Page H. Hearn (season 1) and Lee Tockar (seasons 2–3) is the doctor and scientist of the Rockhopper's crew. Many of his inventions are odd, but can also be useful, such as the Galeezle.[9] As shown in photos in the first episode, he physically resembles Grandmum's deceased husband.
- Kevin (voiced by Ron Smith (season 1) and Michael Donovan (seasons 2–3): Although he does not have a specific job on the ship other than cleaning, he is always ready to help when needed.[9] He also sometimes answers questions or solves problems without realizing.
- Jason T. Conrad (voiced by Mark Marten (season 1) and Quinn Lord (seasons 2–3)) is a 7-year-old boy and Michelle's twin brother, who goes on adventures with the penguins.[9]
- Michelle Frances Conrad (voiced by Melissa Peterson (season 1) and Claire Corlett (seasons 2-3) is a 7-year-old girl and Jason's twin sister, who also goes on adventures with the penguins.[9] She is five minutes older than him.
- Grandmum (voiced by Pamela Thomas (2000), Annie Walker-Bright (2001), Kymberly Mellen (2001–2003), and Ellen Kennedy (seasons 2–3)) is Jason and Michelle's British grandmother, who often gives them advice from "The Good Book".
Recurring
edit- Baron von Cavitus (voiced by Garry Chalk): Originally known as Bert Bertman, he was a classmate of Fidgel when they were students at the Academy and is the inventor of the Galeezle. After others made fun of him for being a hamster, he turned evil and attempted to take over the Academy. Some time later, he built himself a robot suit and attempted to take over the galaxy.
- Admiral Strap (voiced by Dale Wilson) is the Penguin's commanding officer. Despite seeming strict and militaristic, he has a soft spot for Michelle. In the original six videos, he is never seen and communicates to the penguins via fax machine. In the series, he interacts via speakerphone with the Penguins to give them their missions.
- Sol (voiced by Garry Chalk) is a wise old bartender at the Comet Lounge and a friend of Jason, Michelle, and the penguins, whom he also advises.

Reception
editCommon Sense Media gave the show a three out of five stars, saying, "Parents need to know that this series carries clear moral messages and comes from a Christian perspective (the main characters say their bedtime prayers at the end of each episode). The messages themselves -- such as the virtue of patience -- are hard to argue with no matter what your religious bent."[22]
