# Lunar Jim

Lunar Jim is a science fiction stop-motion animated television series that aired from 2 January 2006 to 19 October 2007. The show focuses on Lunar Jim, an astronaut on the Blue Moon L22.
The show, produced by Halifax Film Company and Alliance Atlantis in association with CBC Television, Radio-Canada and BBC Kids, was based on an original concept created by Alexander Bar. The Director, Benny Zelkowicz, voiced Jim in the series.

## Premise

Jim and his team – Rover the Robot Dog, Ripple the Super Space Mechanic, Eco the Farmer and T.E.D. the Technical Equipment Device – live on Blue Moon L22, the second-to-last moon on the edge of the Milky Way. Focusing on exploration and inquiry, Lunar Jim intends to promote such life-lesson skills as problem-solving, persistence, creativity, and cooperation, with an emphasis on "pre-science skills". His catchphrase is "Let's get lunar!"
Season 1 features only the main six characters as they explored the moon and they are depicted as the only people of the time to live on a moon. Season 2 established that they are part of a larger network of moon-dwelling astronauts and introduced three new recurring characters.

## Characters
### Main

* Lunar Jim (Benny Zelkowicz), the show's main protagonist. He is an adventure- and mystery-loving astronaut and is curious about his surroundings.
* Rover, a robot dog, who is always by Jim's side. Rover likes to play fetch and always helps Jim on his lunar missions. He speaks only in beeps and Jim and T.E.D are the only ones who can understand him.
* Ripple (Gil Anderson), the African-Canadian engineer on the moon and is the only female until Skye joins. She is always coming up with new inventions to help Jim and often helps him on his missions. She drives the Scooter.
* Eco (Jim Fowler), the farmer on the moon who works in the Eco dome growing plants and raising the animals. Eco loves to collect rocks and plants to study and help Jim. He doesn't typically go on missions because he is far too busy farming in the Eco dome. He usually drives the Hopper.
* T.E.D. (Technical Equipment Device) (John Davie), a humanoid robot. He is the clumsiest on the moon and his clumsiness creates some simple slapstick comedy. He is somewhat paranoid, being afraid of many non-existent things. However, he is quite smart and sometimes solves the problem in the story, though much of his main plot elements involve him being completely arrogant. T.E.D. represents a child and, essentially, the show's target audience.
* Pixel (Kristin Bell), the computer that helps Jim and his friends find things on the lunar surface and tells them their jobs for the day.
* Daisy, an anthropomorphized cow. Lunar Jim and his team get their milk from Daisy.
* Delores, an anthropomorphized chicken who yields eggs for the team.
In the second season, three additional characters were added to the show:
* Skye, a young trainee astronaut who comes to Moonaluna for "hands-on" training.
* Yik Yak, a turtle-like alien who speaks in rhyme. He visits Jim and his friends often, but his visits usually result in some sort of unintentional problem. Although he only speaks in season 2, he does make a cameo in the first season.
* Zippity, A space mailman who sounds like a robot, but is never described as such.

### Supporting

In the TV show, there are minor characters who make an appearance, and cause some trouble.
* Colby the Collector – Used to collect objects on the Moon to study. He makes more than one appearance.
* The Garden-bot – Built by Ripple to help Eco garden, but malfunctions and destroys all the plants.
* The Lunar Worm – An anthro worm that lives in a compost crater who eats the peels of fruits and Jupiterbugs.
* The Fluffies– A small species of animals on the moon who reproduce on the double. They are sometimes seen in the background of a few episodes.

## Setting
### Blue Moon L22

Blue Moon L22 is the moon where the show takes place. For the show, the moon is divided into sectors (e.g. sector "L" or sector "12"). Each sector also contains certain locations, such as "The Crystal Caves" or "The Chime Flower Meadow". Lunar Jim usually explores these sectors in each episode and is always finding new ones.

### Moonaluna

Moonaluna is the little settlement where Jim and his friends live. The settlement includes the Eco dome, Mission control, Jim's home, Ripple's home (never mentioned) and a windmill which is also never mentioned. Mission control is the building where Jim "gets lunar" and where all the vehicles are stored. The Eco dome is a lunar greenhouse which is the place where Eco is typically found farming and taking care of the livestock, Daisy and Dolores.
Jim's home is where he and Rover live and is often the place where each episode starts. In Season 2, the Moonport (a spaceship landing, refueling and repair port) is built, although few other spaceships visit. The places where T.E.D. or Eco live are never mentioned. In many episodes, it has been mentioned that there are other colonies of astronauts on the moon, but they're never seen in person.

### Vehicles

When Jim "gets lunar", he chooses one of the following vehicles for his mission:
* Lunar Scrambler – The fastest vehicle on the moon. It is a blue scooter-like vehicle and is little and sleek for getting to a mission fast.
* Lunar Lifter – A yellow hovering vehicle. Its main use is using the built-in winch on the bottom.
* Lunar Scooter – Similar to the Scrambler, only it is red in color, has a winch at the bottom and is only used by Ripple when she accompanies Jim on a mission.
* Lunar Crawler – An orange simple backhoe on tracks. The vehicle's arm can be fully customizable with a selection of attachments that can be chosen for a mission and once had a voice control unit.
* Lunar Hopper – A green tractor-like vehicle and the only wheeled vehicle on the moon at the cost of being the slowest. It comes with a trailer and a winch.

## Episodes

The show aired as either a full 22-minute series with two segments in each episode, or as a single 11-minute episode with one segment.

After rescuing Yik Yak – who has gotten himself stuck in a plant – by using some Yik Yak SlikSlak, (a lubricant from Yik Yak's planet), Jim learns the Yik Yak handshake – high five, low five, palm tickle. Yik Yak has the opportunity to help Eco and Ripple with his Slik Slak – and teach them his handshake, too. When Jim, Eco and Ripple come down with Lunar Legs – an ailment which causes their legs to move crazily for a while - no one can figure out how they got it. | 15 October 2007 |
| 43 | 17 | Moonbeard's Treasure / Rocket Pack T.E.D. | Jim discovers an ancient treasure map hidden by Moonbeard, an ancient Space Pirate. It promises a treasure of "Ruby, sapphire, emerald, gold". The gang has to decipher three clues to find the treasure – which turns out to be the root-ball of a tree. They plant it, and a Rainbow Tree sprouts, revealing branches of "ruby, sapphire, emerald, and gold". T.E.D. disobeys Ripple's wishes and tries out her new invention, a rocket pack. There's only one problem – he doesn't know how to land! Both Jim and Skye try to rescue him – unsuccessfully. Ripple's Space Pillow Foam – invented to protect Delores' eggs from breaking – is hastily spread over the Moonport just as T.E.D.'s fuel runs out above them. | 16 October 2007 |
| 44 | 18 | Skater T.E.D. / Space Symphony | T.E.D. liked practising on his new skateboard. The only problem? He keeps getting in everyone else's way! But when the Scrambler breaks down on a mission to get some Cosmic Cactus juice for Zippity to take on an emergency run to another base, it's T.E.D. who saves the day. The Moona Luna gang is going to perform a live music piece for an intergalactic telecast. But T.E.D. doesn't have an instrument! He and Jim set off to find one. | 17 October 2007 |
| 45 | 19 | Scrambled T.E.D. / The Real Ripple | T.E.D. hits his head on Zippity's mail hatch door as he rushes to get his latest copy of his favourite comic "Rocket Robot". His circuits get scrambled and he thinks he's Rocket Robot. Ripple is accidentally duplicated by a space copier. Confronted by two Ripples, the gang has to figure out which one is genuine? Luckily, a "likes and dislikes" quiz T.E.D. gave everyone at the start of the show provides the clue to revealing the real Ripple. | 18 October 2007 |
| 46 | 20 | A Sticky Situation / The Squawker | Eco and Skye, and then Jim, get stuck to a fruit while trying to pick it. Ripple comes to the rescue, but it's Rover, who notices birds can land on and take off from the fruit without any problem – after they've landed on a nearby bush. Closer examination reveals pollen on the bush's flowers, which negates the stickiness on the fruit. A baby bird's loud squawks are disturbing everyone and making work impossible. Attempts to calm it down are all unsuccessful, unless T.E.D. is present. The problem is the baby bird keeps pecking at the coloured wristband that T.E.D. is wearing to remind him of the chores he has to do. Eventually, they realize that the colour of T.E.D.'s wristband reminds the baby of its mom's feathers. | 19 October 2007 |
