''This girl's built for outer space!"''|[[Theme Tune]]}}
A Canadian cartoon about a middle school girl named Betty Barrett who doubles as a Galactic Guardian, fighting evil on the other side of the universe while no one notices her lengthy absence when she finds out she's an alien. The series lasted from September, 2004 to January, 2008. A total of 78 episodes in three seasons.
Season 3 (Subtitle Mission: Earth) mixes things up by having the Galactic Guardian headquarters relocated underneath Betty's hometown.
A sequel with the working title ''[[Oddly-Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo|Atomic Betty Redux]]'' featuring a slightly older Betty is currently in development.
The show has also reappeared on American airwaves on [[The Hub]] (formerly [[Discovery Kids]]) before it was taken off of air as of 2011.
Line 29:
* [[Berserk Button]]: Max Sr. apparently hates being called "worthless" by his own father and would have nearly beaten up his younger self if Maximus didn't interfere.
** Also, when Maximus can't sleep due to too much noise, he goes on a destructive rampage.
* [[Between My Legs]]: Odd for a children's show, but this is how we're introduced to Pontifidora, along with the image page for the episode.
* [[Big Bad]]: Maximus IQ
* [[Big Eater]]: Sparky and his mom.
Line 73:
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: This is mostly seen when Maximus is around either his father or grandfather, the latter which Max Sr. only helps his son due to his own father mocking them both.
* [[Eyedscreen]]: Common during action scenes.
* [[Fat and Skinny]]: Megan and Sarah respectively
* [[Fat Bastard|Fat Bastards]]: Max Sr., M'lord Orus, and Max Sr. Sr. (when he's elderly)
* [[Fat Cat]]: This is what Max Sr. is. Same to elderly Max Sr. Sr., though it could be due to himself being too old.
Line 95:
* [[Hollywood Tone Deaf]]: Penelope in "Circus Sparkimus".
* [[Horrible Judge of Character]]: Sparky's mother has a terrible habit of dating villains.
* [[
* [[Identical Grandson|Identical Granddaughter]]: In "Bold Age" when Penelope was aged up and her grandmother was aged down they each ended up looking like the other, except the aged down grandmother has thicker thighs than Penelope.
* [[Informed Ability]] / [[Informed Flaw]]: According to the episode "The Pre-Teen Queen of Outer Space" Penelope is the most evil female in the universe.
Line 125:
* [[Never Trust a Trailer|Never Trust a Title Card]]: The title card for "Trading Spaces" shows Penelope in a Galactic Guardian uniform. The episode has nothing to do with Penelope joining the Galactic Guadians.
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: The voice of Betty's dad is based on [[Jimmy Stewart]].
* [[No Name Given]]: Betty and her family's last name is never mentioned. Even in a school assembly, the principal calls her just 'Betty'. The closest we get to learning her last name is when Sparky refers to Betty's mother as 'Mrs. B'
** Actually in a series of Atomic Betty [[All There in the Manual|books]], her last name was revealed to be Barret.
* [[Non-Action Guy]]: Noah. Starts to move away from this during season 3.
Line 132:
* [[Petting Zoo People]]
* [[Playing with Fire]]: Betty's red clone.
* [[Poorly-Disguised Pilot]]: The last episode of Season Three introduced the older Betty from the sequel.
* [[Positive Discrimination]]: Paloma
* [[Pretty Fly for a White Guy]]: Betty is voiced by a black woman and her black friend Regeena is voiced by a white woman.
Line 145:
* [[Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale]]
* [[Screens Are Cameras]]: The Comm Links work this way.
* [[Screwed by the Network]]: Started off on a primetime spot on CN. But was soon punted around the schedule before ending up on a early morning shift where barely anyone was awake to watch it.
* [[Shallow Love Interest]]: Dylan and Chaz
* [[Shapeshifter Mode Lock]]: In "The Way of the Wiener" the Betty Clones stay in her superpowered forms for unexplained reasons.
Line 176:
* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: Noah
* [[Villain Song]]: "Virtuoso of Insanity"
* [["The Villain Sucks" Song]] "This Cat Is Coming After You" on the album, mainly for the Betty vocals dialogue
* [[The Voiceless]]: Penelope's Asian friend Sarah never talks.
** Or at least she use to in the first two seasons before Mission: Earth decided to make her mute.
