Nick & Perry (series)

***Nick & Perry*** (also known as ***Les Marchien***) is an animated television series created by Udo Beissel and Len Carlson for Cartoon Network. It is about two alien dogs, Nick and Perry, who crash land on Earth and try to blend in with normal dogs, while hiding their alien secret from the people. The series stars Rolf Berg and Daniel Werner as the titular characters, Nick and Perry. The program originally ran from 2000 to 2001, broadcasting 52 episodes over two seasons.

## Premise

Nick and Perry, the title characters of the series, are two alien dogs, who crash-landed from their planet Dogmas, to planet Earth. They have to disguise themselves as regular dogs, to prevent their secret from coming out, or else they will be sold to science. Perry and Nick study Earth culture throughout the series, with Perry interested in the functions and workings of Earth culture, and Nick looking at the bright side of things.

### Characters

* **Nick** is a tall, orange dog with a proud stature. He is very fascinated in Earth life, especially television, and his love interest, Sofia. He is lazy, loves pleasure, and is very optimistic, not having a bad thought about anyone. Unlike other dogs, he is a vegetarian. He is not too smart compared to his friend, Perry, although the two can work together well. He was voiced by Rolf Berg in German dub and Sunny Besen Thrasher in English dub.
* **Perry** is a small, blue dog resembling a beagle. He is highly intelligent, and is extraordinarily talented in technology and can build highly complex apparatus out of simple human objects. The easy-going Nick often causes him a lot of trouble, especially when he messes up his return plans. Despite this, they are friends, and they both work well together. He was voiced by Daniel Werner in German dub and Hadley Kay in English dub.
* **Lucy** is a little girl who wanted nothing more than a dog for her birthday. When a UFO crashed overnight in her garden and the normally upright and talking dog manners Nick and Perry had to disguise themselves as earth dogs, she thought they were a gift from her father. Lucy is a very bright, adventurous only child. She was voiced by Maximiliane Hacke in German dub and Alyson Court in English dub.
* **Frank** is a history professor and a single father. When Lucy thinks the two dog manners are a present from him, he can't bring himself to disappoint her and keeps Nick and Perry. Frank is often a little absent-minded and gullible. He was voiced by Matthias Haise in German dub and Alex Karzis in English dub.
* **Mr. Smith** is Frank and Lucy's spiteful neighbor and a part-time UFO hunter who tries to catch Nick and Perry in non-dog behavior and then sell them to science. He was voiced by Peter Harting in German dub and Len Carlson and then Wayne Forester in English dub.
