Line 3: {{quote\|''"As long as we're in school, we're gonna get in trouble!"''\|The theme song}} ''~~'''~~[[Detention~~'''~~]]'' (1999-2000) is one of the shortest-lived cartoons to ever come out of [[Warner Bros]] Animation. Not only did it [[Too Good to Last\|last for just 13 episodes]], it wasn't a [[Spin-Off]] to an earlier production, nor was it ever picked up for cable reruns. And to add insult to injury, it's been accused of ripping off [[Disney]]'s ''[[Recess]]''. In the end, though, it's still pretty dang memorable. The show centers on a group of preteen students at Benedict Arnold Middle School who engage in all sorts of [[Hilarity Ensues\|wacky hijinks during their everyday lives]]; but try as they may, they simply cannot avoid being put in detention by the end of the school day. There, they are kept under the strict supervision of [[Sadist Teacher\|Eugenia P. Kisskillya]], a former Marine Corps sergeant who is also the school's gym teacher. ----▼ ~~===~~ The [[Five-Man Band\|kids the show focuses on]] include: ~~===~~ * [[~~Perky~~The ~~Goth~~Hero\|Shareena Wickett]], a freely-thinking [[Little Miss Snarker\|Goth-dressed girl]] who prefers to avoid the in-crowd and finds pleasure in the sublime. * [[The Hero\|Emmitt Roswell]], a blonde boy with born leadership abilities which are questioned by the fact that [[Only Sane Man\|he believes that aliens exist]] and tries fruitlessly to make contact with them. Could also be considered a [[Agent Mulder]] and or a [[Conspiracy Theorist]]. * [[The Big Guy\|Jim Kim]], a shy kid who is a big fan of comic books (particularly [[DC Comics]], which Warner Bros. owns), to the point that he brings them up in regular conversation and tends to [[Loony Fan\|think he has their abilities]]. * [[The Lancer\|Ramone "Gug" Gugleamo]], a short but feisty Hispanic kid who, constantly being left out of competitive sports [[The Napoleon\|because of his size]], likes to pick fights with people bigger than him. * [[The Quiet One\|Duncan Bubble]], a boy who [[The Voiceless\|never speaks]], instead preferring to [[Talking ~~With~~with Signs\|spell out his messages with his yo-yo]]. * [[Think Twins\|Orangejella]] and [[The Smart Guy\|Lemonjella LaBelle]] identical [[Black Best Friend\|African-American]] sisters with high intellect and a habit of trying to one-up each other. * [[The Chick\|Shelley Kelley]], a [[Cheerful Child\|perky girl]] who constantly kisses up to Kisskillya and as a result is seen as [[The Scrappy]] by the other kids. ~~----~~ ~~=== This show contains examples of: ===~~ ▲---- * [[Biting the Hand Humor]]: ''[[Dawsons Creek]]'', a fellow show on [[The WB]], gets parodied along with the network itself in one episode.▼ {{tropelist}} * [[Can't Get in Trouble For Nuthin']]: Shelley Kelley, despite the fact that she spends an entire episode trying. ▼ ▲* [[Biting the Hand Humor]]: ''[[~~Dawsons~~Dawson's Creek]]'', a fellow show on [[The WB]], gets parodied along with the network itself in one episode. ▲* [[Can't Get in Trouble For Nuthin']]: Shelley Kelley, despite the fact that she spends an entire episode trying. * [[Cloudcuckoolander]] (Jim) * [[Daddy Didn't Show]]: The focus of one episode. Emmitt waits excitedly, all day, for his dad to show up and hang out with him for the day. He never shows up. Line 27: * [[Egg Sitting]]: The "babies" are water balloons that cry at random -- permanently if the parent doesn't switch it off in time. Shelley's the only one keen on the project, while most of the guys goof off or play recklessly with their babies. The girls fight back by adding enough water to double the size before handing the babies back. Shareena in particular had to watch the baby all weekend so Emmitt could go camping with his dad, but Mr. Roswell never showed. As a result, Emmitt isn't up for getting into mayhem with the other guys, who all wind up dropping their balloons, forcing three of the four families to do the project over. * [[Five-Man Band]]: [[The Hero]]: Shareena and Emmitt [[The Lancer]]: Gug [[The Big Guy]]: Jim [[The Smart Guy]]: Orangejella and Lemonjella [[The Chick]]: Shelley [[Action Girl]]: Shareena ** [[The Quiet One]]: Duncan * [[Go-Karting ~~With~~with Bowser]]: Miss Kisskillya never was ''quite'' as bad as this, but Shareena still dreads having to go on a solo tour of Washington D.C. with her<ref> It's solo because she didn't feel like following the rest of the gang towards Emmitt's latest theory</ref>. She's pleasantly surprised when Kisskillya turns out to be a fun and engaging guide. {{quote\| '''Miss Kisskillya''': Well, you can't judge an officer by her stripes.}} * [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Emmitt = [[Futurama\|Philip J. Fry]] and [[Doug\|Doug Funnie]]. And Gug = [[Mucha Lucha\|Rikochet]]'s original voice. ** Shareena is voiced by [[Tara Strong]] and the twins are voiced by real life siblings [[Sister, Sister\|Tia and Tamera Mowry.]] * [[Karma Houdini]]: In "Too Good to Be Truant", when Shareena and Shelley are caught playing truant, Kisskillya assumes that Shelley didn't do this voluntarily and only punishes Shareena (well, her and all the other kids besides Shelley, because they were "holding back information"). Contrary to what you would expect in a kids' show, Shelley never admits her guilt, because she doesn't want to ruin her perfect attendance record. * [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]: Good luck with that. The show hasn't seen a DVD release, and hasn't been aired on television in years.
