The Buzz on Maggie

The Buz on Maggie (2005-2006) was a short lived Flash animated series that aired on the Disney Channel, aimed for tween girls, about talking flies and other insects living in the city of Stickyfeet (yes, that's the name). The show centered on Maggie Pesky, an cute and energetic pink-haired fly girl who loves music, fashion, hanging with her gal pal Rayna and pretty much everything else typical tween girls like. The series came with an upbeat theme song performed by Skye Sweetenam.
