O grady s1e02 clones


O'Grady (stylized as O*gRAdY) is an animated television show created by Tom Snyder and Carl Adams and developed for TV by co-star Holly Schlesinger. It used to air on The N in the US, on MTV in Latin America, Nickelodeon in the United Kingdom (first season only), Family Channel in Canada and on 2x2 in Russia. It stars Melissa Bardin Galsky and H. Jon Benjamin, among other Soup2nuts Productions alumni, as high school students Abby, Beth, Harold, and Kevin, and chronicles their lives along with those of other residents of O'Grady, a fictional town which is periodically plagued by "The Weirdness." The Weirdness affects its residents in strange ways such as projecting their private thoughts in bubbles over their heads, or producing clones of themselves every time they get angry.

Although O'Grady has been never been released on DVD, some episodes are available for purchase through iTunes, as well as Amazon Video. On July 14, 2013, TeenNick aired reruns of the show.

Major characters

  • Abby Wilde (voiced by Melissa Bardin Galsky) is a vain average teenager. Kevin and she have feelings between them, which have been shown in many episodes. Her main love interest is Pete Klesko, but she never manages to make him feel the same way.
  • Kevin Harnisch (voiced by H. Jon Benjamin) is a slacker teenager, who never wants to do hard work, has a tendency to find a way to use the weirdness for his own gain in various ways. He is in a band with Harold and Iris, but the band never progressed past a few shows. He also has a crush on Abby, although he would never admit it.
  • Beth Briggs (voiced by Holly Schlesinger) is a blue-haired environmentalist vegetarian, the classic concerned hippie with big ideas. She has good intentions as she is the opposite of Kevin, but she is also very naive. She's Abby's best friend.
  • Harold Oscar Jenkins (voiced by Patrice O'Neal) works at Eets-A-Pizza, and is Kevin's best friend. He can be a little nerdy and often is uncomfortable with Kevin's various schemes.

    • Supporting characters

  • Iris (voiced by H. Jon Benjamin) is a neurotic German exchange student and a devoted fan of techno music. She speaks with an accent, and is one of the show's breakout characters, her humorous (though not intended to be funny) statements make her very popular with fans. She is often quoted. She is also very obsessive with chocolate and enjoys licking spoons.
  • Pete Klesko (voiced by Larry Murphy) is the most popular guy in school. He plays on the lacrosse team, and Abby has had a crush on him for a long time, despite him not being able to remember her name. He has a very dull personality but is still nice.
  • Phillip Demorio (voiced by H. Jon Benjamin) is one of their classmates, and is very smart, nerdy, and a total mama's boy. He is also wealthy, speaks very aristocratically, and is always wearing a tie.
  • Donald Alan Lipschitz (voiced by Larry Murphy) is a monotone-speaking substitute teacher. He says "Oh Lord" frequently whenever something bad happens. He also seems to suffer a reverse effect to every weirdness. He has to teach classes whenever the staff become victims to The Weirdness and is often teaching every class the main characters attend.
  • Dr. Myers (voiced by Bill Braudis) is the school principal. He's shown as not very intelligent and has braces. He and Mr. Lipschitz have a somewhat unnatural friendship, with both being a little annoyed of the other.
