Character

Description

Andrew "Andy"

French

Wallace Langham

A 24 year old in his third consecutive "post-college slump year." Andy is an aspiring cartoonist. From the pilot episode to "Unemployment, Part 1," Andy worked at a waterbed store where his boss was a short, ill-tempered foreign man who frequented strip clubs. From "Unemployment, part 2" to "Plan 9 from Mission Hill," Andy works as an artist at the same advertising agency as Jim. Though he's often bored and mellow, Andy is easily annoyed by his younger brother, Kevin.

Kevin French

Scott Menville

17 years old. Kevin moved in with Andy when his parents left for Wyoming, bringing his sheltered, suburban mindset to Mission Hill. He hopes to attend Yale University.

Jim Kuback

Brian Posehn

In his mid 20s, loft mate Jim has been Andy's best friend since high school. He is extremely tall and lanky, with red hair and a beard. Jim is a genius at all things electronic, whether it's electronic music or computers. He is mellow and able to express a wide variety of sentiments by nuancing the word "Okay." Jim is a high-powered advertising agent who is paid vast amounts of money to alter marketing campaigns to appeal to Generation Y.

Posey Tyler

Vicki Lewis

In her mid 20s, Posey, the fourth loftmate, is somewhat a flower child, and very concerned about the health and well-being of her plants.

Stogie

None

Andy's Golden Retriever, who can apparently stomach anything from alcohol to remote controls. At one point in the series his primary source of food was eating the couch cushions.

Description

Gus Dunch

Nick Jameson

A gay man in his late 60s, he owns a diner in Mission Hill. He is married to Wally. According to audio commentary by the producers, Gus is based on Broderick Crawford.

Wally Langford

Tom Kenny

A gay man in his late 60s, Wally is a projectionist at the local art movie house. He is based on David Niven. He enjoys cinema and ragtime music. In the episode "I Married a Gay Man from Outer Space", it is revealed that he directed a film in the 1950s entitled The Man from Pluto (which was a parody of Plan 9 from Outer Space'). It starred his partner Gus in the titular role, a reference to Tom Graeff's film Teenagers from Outer Space.

Natalie

Leibowitz-Hernandez

Vicki Lewis

Late 20s. Politically correct and intellectually well-endowed, Natalie is a professor of Women's Studies at the local college. Sensitive to biases in our culture, she refuses to name her newborn baby so as not to assign it a preconceived gender stereotype. She is of the Jewish faith. She is a working mother who supports both "Baby Nameless" and her non-working "marital partner" Carlos.

Carlos

Hernandez-Leibowitz

Herbert Siguenza

Late 20s. He is a struggling artist and stay-at-home dad for Baby Nameless. Unlike his wife Natalie, Carlos is a Christian, his work is, at times, reminiscent of Jackson Pollock, Diego Rivera and Bob Ross. He prides himself on having no discernible style. Carlos and Natalie have a pet snake as a result of an episode involving a lab raid.

Gwen

Jane Wiedlin

Early 20's. Andy's on and off again girlfriend, Gwen completed two years of community college before settling in Mission Hill. She met Andy working at Ron's Waterbed World. Someday she'd like to be an accomplished person who achieves her goals and makes a serious contribution to society.

Toby Mundorf

Josh Weinstein

Early 20s and one of Kevin's best friends in Mission Hill. His overprotective mother worries a great deal about him, as he frequently suffers from allergies, asthma, and hunger. A born pacifist.

George Bang

Bill Oakley

Kevin's other best friend. George works long hours after school in his father's market. George is extremely competitive in everything from taking tests to playing video games. He shares all the same interests as his best friends and is particularly proud of owning the complete Babylon 5 Collectible Card Game. Unlike his friends Toby and Kevin, his parents don't seem to be overprotective, so he is more sarcastic and aggressive than either of them.

Episodes

Thirteen episodes of the show were produced while five more were written, but never completed. Animatics for some of these episodes were in production at the time of the show's cancellation. It was planned to put these animatics on the DVD for the series, but this never came to fruition. However, several of the animaticsncluding a completed video animatic and synchronized audio read-through of the episode "Pretty in Pink (Crap Gets in Your Eyes)"ave been released through various internet outlets.

Location

The show takes place in a district called Mission Hill. Mission Hill is a diverse neighborhood in a much larger city called Cosmopolis. Cosmopolis is depicted as a large modern urban metropolis. The official website states Mission Hill is a mix of Silver Lake in Los Angeles, Wicker Park in Chicago, and Williamsburg in Brooklyn. The exact location of Cosmopolis has never been revealed, as it is a mix of East and West Coast cities. Most of the series takes place in the neighborhood of Mission Hill, although the skyscrapers of Downtown Cosmopolis are seen in the background. In the DVD commentaries, Josh Weinstein says that a large portion of the development of the show was spent developing Mission Hill into a functional, albeit fictional, city. Writers and animators worked together to create fictional advertisements, bands, food, and even bus schedules.

Awards

Mission Hill received the 2000 Pulcinella Award for "Best Series for All Audiences"; the award cited the show's "stylized design and honest approach to sexual and moral issues."

The show won an award from GLAAD for its positive portrayal of a gay relationship.

Trivia

Lists of miscellaneous information should be avoided. Please relocate any relevant information into appropriate sections or articles. (October 2008)

It is revealed through a T-shirt that Kevin French had made for himself on the show, that his SAT scores were Math:760 and Verbal:700. These are creator Bill Oakley's SAT scores.

In episode 5 "One Bang for Two Brothers", Andy calls Gwen who has a Go-Go's poster hanging by the phone. Gwen is voiced by Go-Go's guitarist Jane Wiedlin.

The DVD version of this show replaces most of the popular music with other music to avoid paying for costly royalties.
