Recess
is an American
animated television series
created by
Paul Germain
and
Joe Ansolabehere
(credited on marketing materials and late-series title cards as "Paul and Joe") and produced by
Walt Disney Television Animation
, with animation done by
Grimsaem
,
Anivision
, Plus One Animation,
Sunwoo Animation
, and
Toon City
. The series focuses on six
elementary school
students and their interaction with other classmates and teachers.
[2]
The title refers to the
recess
period during the daily schedule, in the North American tradition of educational schooling, when students are not in lessons and are outside in the schoolyard. During recess, the children form their own society, complete with
government
and a
class structure
, set against the backdrop of a regular school.
[3]
Recess
premiered on September 13, 1997, on
ABC
, as part of
Disney's One Saturday Morning
block (later known as
ABC Kids
). The series ended on November 5, 2001, with 65 half-hour episodes and six seasons in total. The success and lasting appeal of the series saw it being syndicated to numerous channels, including
ABC's sister channels
Toon Disney
, which later became
Disney XD
, and
Disney Channel
.
In 2001,
Walt Disney Pictures
released a theatrical film based on the series,
Recess: School's Out
. It was followed by a
direct-to-video
second film entitled
Recess Christmas: Miracle on Third Street
that same year. In 2003, two more direct-to-video films were released:
Recess: All Growed Down
and
Recess: Taking the Fifth Grade
. The characters made their final appearance in a crossover episode for
Lilo & Stitch: The Series
.
Overview
[
edit
]
Recess
portrays the lives of six fourth graders?cheeky and popular
lovable rogue
Theodore Jasper "T.J." Detweiler (
Ross Malinger
,
Andrew Lawrence
),
jock
Vince LaSalle (
Rickey D'Shon Collins
),
tomboy
Ashley Spinelli (
Pamela Adlon
),
wise fool
Mikey Blumberg (
Jason Davis
), nerdy
child prodigy
Gretchen Grundler (
Ashley Johnson
), and awkward new kid Gus Griswald (
Courtland Mead
)?as they go about their daily lives in a school environment at Third Street Elementary School.
[4]
A major satirical point of the show is that the community of students at school is a
microcosm
of traditional human society complete with its own
government
,
class system
, and set of
unwritten laws
.
[4]
They are ruled by a
monarch
, a sixth grader named King Bob, who has various
enforcers
to make sure his decrees are carried out. The society has a long list of rigid values and social norms that imposes a high expectation of conformity upon all the students.
Recess
is illustrated to be a symbol of
liberty
?a time when children can express themselves and develop meaningful relationships. Most episodes involve one or more of the main six characters seeking a rational balance between
individuality
and
social order
. They are often defending their freedom against perceived threats by adults and school administration or
social norms
.
[4]
The group's leader, T.J. Detweiler, tends to have the most complete vision of this struggle, though even he has times when he inadvertently leads the group too far toward an extreme of conformity or non-conformity, and needs to be drawn back to even ground by his friends.
This interpretation is confirmed by the
Cold War
motifs
[
citation needed
]
found throughout the show. For example, Miss Grotke's philosophical and
activist
attitudes (attributed to her belonging to the
counterculture of the 1960s
) are juxtaposed with the authoritarian and
conservative
views of her colleagues such as Miss Finster and Principal Prickly. The presence of government officials either confiscating objects for national security (Episode 37, "The Substitute") or removing persons for challenging authority (Episode 71, "The Spy Who Came in from the Playground"), serve as subtle reminders on the authority of the US government. Several references by the show's characters convey the fraught political realities of the Cold War period.
[

In Episode 85, "Here Comes Mr. Perfect", Randall suggests blackmailing a student
for being a supposed Communist
, while in Episode 37, "The Substitute", Mr. E demands a student write an essay on why it's wrong to bully people, "unless it's in the
geopolitical interests of the United States
". Cold War themes are most seen in Episode 101, "The Secret Life of Grotke", where Miss Grotke is suspected by the Recess gang as an
anti-American spy
due to her mysterious after-school life, as well as Episode 118, "The Army Navy Game", where T.J. masquerades as a Soviet spy to bring Gus and Theresa's military fathers to reconcile.
The show's introductory music, art design and style often evoked the feel of prison escape movies such as
The Great Escape
, and the playground hierarchy and school administration were often depicted in ways that paid homage to common themes in such films.
Cast and characters
[
edit
]
Main characters
[
edit
]
- Theodore Jasper "T.J." Detweiler (voiced by
Ross Malinger
, Seasons 1?2;
Andrew Lawrence
, Seasons 2?6): T.J. is the main
protagonist
of the series, the leader of his five best friends, and usually spends time planning
pranks
against the teachers. Rarely seen without his red baseball hat, which he always wears backwards, he uses his catchphrase "whomps" as a child-friendly substitute swear word for something unpleasant as well as "tender" whenever something good happens. T.J. has excellent leadership skills, confidence in
public speaking
, a quick wit and the ability to talk his way out of any situation, as shown in "Good Ol' T.J.". Despite his precarious acts, T.J. is a
hero
, as he cares about the well-being of his fellow peers at school, often rallying them and convincing them to work together to stand up for their
rights
. His only sibling is an older sister (around 17 or 18) named Becky, who was seen in
Recess: School's Out
(voiced by
Melissa Joan Hart
) and
Recess: Taking the Fifth Grade
(voiced by
Tara Strong
), although T.J. mentions an older brother in "The Great Jungle Gym Standoff".
- Vincent "Vince" Pierre LaSalle (voiced by
Rickey D'Shon Collins
): Vince is the most physically fit student at Third Street School. Along with his superior athletic ability, he comes across as a bit of a "Jock", but in the end he always knows to make the best choice to help others. His athletic/competitive skills are far superior, so much so that he seemingly excels at most, if not all, challenges, such as cooking, golf, and even improvised playground games. He has a rivalry with Erwin Lawson, a fifth grade
jock
bully
. He has an older brother named Chad whom he thinks is the coolest boy he knows, even if his peers see him as a
geek
. His catchphrase is "Whompinbobyulah!" to exclaim surprise. Respected and brave, he is T.J.'s right-hand man.
- Ashley Funicello Spinelli (voiced by
Pamela Adlon
): Usually going simply by her last name, Spinelli is a
wrestling
fan
and the
tomboy
of the group. Although short in stature for her age, she maintains a powerful tough-girl image, often attempting to solve her problems via violence. During the gang's misadventures, Spinelli is the one who gets reluctant kids to talk, usually by threatening or intimidating them during
interrogation
. With her reputation, a lot of Spinelli's problems happen when she is shown to have a weakness, as she prefers to be unflappable and strong-willed. While she doesn't dislike her first name since she was named after her great aunt, the first woman to win the Iditarod Sled Race, she keeps it hidden to avoid being associated with "the Ashleys", the school's clique of snobby girls. She has a talent for art, though she claims she "only does it to blow off steam". Her fiery and fearless personality has gotten on the good side of Miss Finster multiple times as well as her bad side. It is revealed on Parent-Teacher Night, by Spinelli's mother, that Spinelli has a crush on T.J.
- Gretchen Priscilla Grundler (voiced by
Ashley Johnson
): Gretchen is an academically gifted and an extremely intelligent student. A
child prodigy
, she has shown the ability for academic feats that other students in her grade find difficult. She is still a young kid at heart and her imagination sometimes overwhelms her, as she is quite
naive
despite her high
IQ
. She is assisted by an interactive, calculator-sized, hand-held computer-like machine called Galileo (voiced by
Eric Idle
), which she is very protective of. Though her friends don't share her passion for
science
, Gretchen considers the gang much more important than finding intellectual colleagues. She also has a unique talent with
yo-yos
. She was called "the doughy queen of beauty" by Frank "Tiny" Sedgwick in "Lord of the Nerds".
- Michael "Mikey" Blumberg (voiced by
Jason Davis
; singing voiced by
Robert Goulet
): Mikey is an
overweight
, kind-hearted, and
philosophical
nine-year-old. He is good at
playing goalie
in
soccer
due to his towering height and body power. He writes poetry, performs ballet, and believes in notions of
peace
that the others often dismiss. Though known as a "sweet-souled giant", he is also an incredibly talented singer, possessing a
baritone
opera voice that contrasts starkly with his normal speaking voice.
- Gustav Patton "Gus" Griswald (voiced by
Courtland Mead
): Gus is a new student at Third Street Elementary with a blonde crew cut; though absent in the first episode, he was introduced in the following episode as "The New Kid". Gus is usually oblivious to the rules of the playground and its traditions, as he comes from a
military family
and therefore has had to move around frequently (he has attended 12 schools in six years but according to the movie/episode
All Grown Down
, he briefly attended Third Street School for a few days in kindergarten, prior to his return for fourth grade). Although normally shy and meek, he has great leadership abilities similar to T.J.'s when faced with danger. He is exceptionally skilled in dodgeball, and was once feared at Jesse James Elementary School, a previous school of his, as "El Diablo"; however, as shown in "Dodgeball City", when he accidentally hit a little boy hard in the face, greatly traumatizing the kid, he stopped playing it in shame. In this same episode, he shows he doesn't care for marbles, either because of dodgeball or dislike. Gus is both brave and swallows his pride when he addresses certain situations. Even though everyone sees him as a pushover, he has repeatedly proven otherwise; for instance, he stood up to Gelman (The School Bully) in "Gus' Last Stand", and in "All Grown Down", it was revealed that during his brief tenure at Third Street as a kindergartner, he helped overthrow Randall's manipulation of Mikey (who believed he was being taunted), which was confirmed by Finster apparently bearing a grudge towards him at the end of the film.
School staff
[
edit
]
- Muriel Periwinkle Finster (voiced by
April Winchell
): Miss Finster is an elderly assistant teacher who monitors the students during lunch, recess, and in the halls. She is an assertive authoritarian feared by the students, and seeks to keep them in line and maintain order, with her assistant Randall Weems reporting to her on any wrongdoing. She was a
Navy commodore
in the 1950s, frequently reminiscing her time in
Guam
, and has worked at Third Street since the 1960s. Though she is often at odds with the students, Finster has been shown to genuinely care about their safety. In a few of the series' episodes and in the film
Recess: School's Out
, she is revealed as having been attractive and popular when she was young but eventually became a strict, grouchy and fussy figure as she grew older. She becomes the gang's fifth grade teacher in the film
Recess: Taking the Fifth Grade
. In the film
Recess: All Growed Down
it is revealed that she was the gang's
kindergarten
teacher and she was initially pleasant but became hot-tempered and intimidating after seeing her kindergarten students all messy and having fun during recess.
- Principal Peter Prickly (voiced by
Dabney Coleman
): Principal Prickly is the principal of Third Street School. A former student at the school, he became a teacher out of a desire to help children and has been principal of Third Street since 1968. He is frequently angered by the children's antics, and ultimately seeks to become principal of a middle school. He has a strong rivalry with his older brother Paul, who is also a school principal. While frequently portrayed as a heartless authority figure, Prickly has been shown to have a more friendly, laid-back personality and ultimately tries to protect the student's welfare. He is also a secret fan of Senor Fusion, a comic book hero.
- Miss Alordayne Grotke (voiced by
Allyce Beasley
) is the 4th grade teacher of the main cast. She is known for her mild-mannered, yet eccentric personality, basically being that of a
hippie
, including her vocabulary. She is well loved by her students, especially for her tendency to stick up for their rights and encourages them to express themselves. Her dialogue establishes her as an advocate for the environment and race/gender rights. She also moonlights as a magician.
School students
[
edit
]
- Randall J. Weems (voiced by
Ryan O'Donohue
) is a fourth grade student at the school. His hair cut and color (a reddish/brown perm curly style) resembles his father's. Well known as the playground snitch, informing Miss Finster of any playground misbehavior, he is consequently disliked on the playground but will ally with his classmates if the situation calls for it. In "All Grown Down" it is revealed he hatched a plan to get Mikey on his side by gossiping about the other kids to Mikey. Mikey assumes this is true and believes that the other kids are making fun of him. However, Gus destroys his plans before he could succeed in possibly becoming king in 6th grade.
- Erwin Lawson (voiced by
Erik von Detten
) is a fifth grader. He is primarily a bully to the younger students and serves as a rival to Vince and T.J. at various sports and games. He is portrayed as unintelligent. In the episode "Nobody Doesn't Like TJ" Lawson can even admit that TJ's still a pretty alright guy.
- King Robert "Bob" (voiced by
Toran Caudell
) is a sixth grader and the "King of the Playground". He enforces the unwritten rules of the playground established by other previous playground kings and acts as the primary authority of playground disputes. He was previously a renowned playground prankster, holding the title of "Prankster Prince" before becoming King. He has bequeathed the title to T.J. He is also incredibly respectful and reminiscent of previous playground kings, which can be seen in episodes such as "Pharaoh Bob" and "The Rules".
- The Ashleys are a group of four girls (Ashley Armbruster (voiced by
Anndi McAfee
), Boulet (voiced by
Francesca Marie Smith
), Quinlan (voiced by Rachel Crane), and Tomassian (voiced by
Camille Winbush
)) who usually go by Ashley A, B, Q, and T respectively. The girls, while usually acting like the stereotypical popular girl clique, including being well-off and obsessing with fashion and beauty, often put down others either verbally or through a variety of underhanded schemes, resulting in them being seldom popular with anybody except during their occasional moments of kindness. They are even ostracized by many of their classmates (though they do maintain an air of superiority). They have a mutual despisement with Spinelli, due mainly to her first name being Ashley and her outright refusal to join their group as well as her frequent hostility towards them. Their catchphrase is saying "ooh, scandalous!" as well as constantly using the preposition
like
in unison. They each have a little brother named Tyler who are collectively known as "The Tylers", and a little sister named Brittany who are collectively known as "The Brittanys". The Ashleys are probably based on the titular characters from the 1988 film
Heathers
, though their fashion obsessions and mannerisms seem to be based on the main characters from the 1995 film
Clueless
.
- Hustler Kid (voiced by
Michael Shulman
) is the playground's supplier of contraband goods and other hard to get merchandise for the right price. In "Hustler's Apprentice", he is revealed to be part of an association of hustlers from every school and his real name is revealed to be Francis.
- Guru Kid (voiced by Klee Bragger and Ross Malinger in the series, and Ryan O'Donohue in
Recess: School's Out
) is the source of spiritual advice for the other students. He always sits in a meditative pose with his shirt wrapped around his head like a turban.
- Swinger Girl (voiced by Francesca Marie Smith) is, as her name suggests, a girl who is always at the swing set and whose ultimate goal is to swing over the top of the swing set. She dresses like a WWII fighter pilot.
- Upside Down Girl (voiced by Francesca Marie Smith) spends her time hanging upside down from the jungle gym.
- Menlo (voiced by
Blake McIver Ewing
) is a student who works as an office aide to the school secretary Miss Lemon and is obsessed with organization. He was once good friends with T.J. before they drifted apart, but T.J. still attends Menlo's birthday parties in honor of that friendship.
- Megan (voiced by Pamela Adlon in "The New Kid",
Kath Soucie
in "Call Me Guy", Anndi McAfee in "The Candidates", and Danielle Judovits in Recess: School's Out), a girl with brown hair in pigtails, and wears a red jacket (like T.J.) appears as a background character, though occasionally speaks. Not much is known about her, but she is seen hanging with several other background girls.
- The Diggers (voiced by Ryan O'Donohue and Klee Bragger) are a pair of kids who spend their time at recess digging holes in the dirt and are dressed as miners. One is named Dave and the other is named Sam, and despite looking alike they aren't related.
- Kristen Kurst (voiced by
Mayim Bialik
), "Kurst the Worst", is a gluttonous and messy fifth grade girl bully who often times can be found stealing food from the cafeteria. She once befriended Mikey over their shared love of desserts.
- Cornchip Girl (voiced by Anndi McAfee, Francesca Marie Smith, Ashley Johnson,
Elizabeth Daily
, and
Aria Curzon
), whose real name is Theresa Laverne LaMaise, is a sweet and polite little girl known for throwing corn chips to mark the arrival of King Bob at events. Her father is in the Navy.
- Butch (voiced by Kath Soucie) is a fifth grade boy who often times pops up to tell the kids about bad experiences, with T.J. almost always prompting Butch's stories with the words, "What're you talking about, Butch?". He wears a leather jacket and has a white streak in his hair.
- Gelman (voiced by Justin Shenkarow) is the school bully, and picks on kids that are smaller than him (most notably Gus). Gelman is overweight, lazy and mean; he normally sports a black T-shirt, dark gray pants and light brown hair.
- Singing Kid (voiced by Michael Shulman), real name Brandon, is the school's official singer.

Critical reception
[
edit
]
Television critics
Alan Sepinwall
and
Matt Zoller Seitz
wrote favorably about
Recess
in their 2016 book
TV (The Book)
, stating that the series is "Easily one of the smartest, most prankishly playful adult cartoons ever passed off as children's entertainment....
Recess
is a highly ritualized bit of entertainment that strikes the same notes over and over again, but always in infinite variation and with a surprising eye for psychological grace notes, especially when characters you thought of as brusque and one-dimensional reveal their fears and dreams to one another."
[14]
[15]
Possible revival
[
edit
]
In 2022, Joe Ansolabehere revealed that he and Paul Germain had been working on a potential revival stating, "We've come up with several different angles and we've tried different things. It's been four years that we've been working on it, but that's an example of how things have changed... things are slower."
