== Synopsis[edit] ==
The show is about a trio of mutant babies who are three characters that fight off evil monsters and aliens. Their names are Meg, Derrick and Buck and their care-giver's name is Nurse Lazlo. The show takes place in Your City, USA.
After their birth, they are brought to an orphanage. When the entire solar system aligned itself, the babies and their nurse were struck by lightning. The babies were given super strength and other powers, and Nurse Lazlo's IQ rose.
== Voice actors[edit] ==
Buck was voiced by Sonja Ball, Dean Hagopian voiced many male characters, Laura Teasdale did Derrick's voice, Meg was voiced by Jaclyn Linetsky, and Bronwen Mantel voiced Nurse Lazlo.
Even though the voice acting was done in Montreal, the voice directing was done by Vancouver based veteran voice actor and voice director Terry Klassen who has done voiceovers for many animated television series and films such as voicing Krillin in the Ocean dubbed version of Dragon Ball Z. Klassen has also voice directed other works such as Ed, Edd n Eddy, Johnny Test, Cardcaptors, several Barbie films, and more recently, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. This was the only time that Klassen has ever voice directed an animated project outside of Vancouver. During the later episodes, Terrence Scammell, who also voiced several characters in the series, as well as providing the main title narration, took over as voice director. Scammell has also done many voice acting roles for film, television and video games in both Montreal and Ottawa, Ontario.
== Production[edit] ==
The show was announced in October 2000 as a co-production between CinéGroupe and Sony Wonder set to premier on the Fox Family Channel in fall of that year. The show was created by Christian and Yvon Tremblay and Landmark Entertainment Group budgeted between $5.9 million (C$9 million) and $6.6 million for 52 10-minute episodes which were pre-produced in Montreal and animated in Asia then bundled into 26 half-hour daily shows.
