Another offering from [[Marathon Media]], the studio behind ''[[Totally Spies!]]'' and ''[[Martin Mystery]]'', originally created for [[Disney Channel]] Asia, later imported into the [[Cartoon Network]]. The series, a sort of [[Spiritual Successor]] to ''Totally Spies'' featuring [[Spinoff Babies|much younger protagonists]], is about the adventures of four young siblings (Tony, Marc, Megan, and Lee Clark) who must balance their lives in middle school with their secret lives as spies working for WOOHP, the World Organization of Human Protection. Though Jerry appears once more as a coordinator and parent figure for the young heroes, [[Totally Spies!|Sam, Alex, and Clover]] do not return but have made at least one appearance.

While ''Totally Spies'' drew inspiration from [[Shoujo]] manga, ''The Amazing Spiez'' is also inspired by western [[Comic Books]].

----
=== Tropes: ===
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[Air Vent Passageway]]: In "Operation Spy-Sitter".
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Tami.
** [[Lovable Alpha Bitch]]: On a few occasions, and as a whole she's preferable to [[Totally Spies!|Mandy.]]
* [[Always Someone Better]]: In "Operation Yeti Bear", the spies' schoolmate Tara is shown to not only be capable of besting Lee's athletic records, but of building a better computer than Marc.
* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Tony and Megan, given both of their parents are Caucasian
** Well, hopefully they're adopted. [[ChocolateHer BabyChild, but Not His|Otherwise]]... [[Harvey Birdman, Attorney Atat Law|ha ha,]] [[Unfortunate Implications]]!
* [[Animated Series]]
* [[Animesque]]: It looks like a comic, but withholds some of the Anime qualities of it'sits predecessor.{{context}}
* [[Attack of the 50 -Foot Whatever]]: "Operation The 50 Ft. Hacker"
* [[Badass Bookworm]]: Marc, combined in a way with [[Gadgeteer Genius]].
* [[Catgirl|Catboy]]: Tony briefly imagines himself with cat ears at the start of "Operation Grow Up".
Line 26 ⟶ 23:
* [[Crossover]]: With it's predecessor in at least two episodes
* [[Death Trap]]: Not as many as it's predecessor, but they're there.
* [[Distressed Dude in Distress]] / [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]]: Not nearly as often as in ''[[Totally Spies!]]'', but as you can expect, all four Spiez have their fair share of these types of situations.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Most of the same college-aged males who perved over ''[[Totally Spies!]]'' ''hate'' this show, but preteen girls are lapping it up. Their favorite is almost unanimously [[Nerds Are Sexy|Marc]].
* [[Evil Brit]]: Jerry's sister Sherry.
* [[Fingertip Drug Analysis]]: Well, it was honey, but the trope applies, given the reactions of the rest of the team.
* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]]: With Lee as the Choleric, Megan as the Phlegmatic, Marc as the Melancholic, and Tony as the Sanguine.
** [[Four -Philosophy Ensemble]]: Cynic (Marc), Optimist (Lee), Realist (Megan), Apathetic (Tony)
* [[Harmless Freezing]]: In "Operation Twins of Trouble" it happens to the Spiez' parents.
* [[Hartman Hips]]: Tami gains some in "Operation Terrible Thirteen" as part of the villain's plot to mutate kids.
Line 42 ⟶ 39:
* [[Kid Hero|Kid Heroes]]
* [[Legacy Character]]: Boogie Gus' son Gus Jr.
* [[Never Say "Die"]]: or you'll be "eliminated"
* [[Precocious Crush]]: Tony gets one on [[Totally Spies!|Clover]] in "Operation Dude Ranch Disaster".
* [[Reverse Polarity]]: The Super Soaker Supersizer in "Operation The 50 Ft. Hacker".
* [[Screwed Byby the Network]]: After about a month, [[Cartoon Network]] moved the show from the afternoon to an uncomfortable early-morning slot before pulling it off the air entirely.
* [[Secret -Chaser]]: Aunt Trudi
* [[Shout -Out]]: Done ''very'' subtly in "Operation Grow Up". The episode features a villain that {{spoiler|can alter his age at will, becoming a child at some points, an adult at some others,}} but one of his distinguishing traits is that he has a small scar on his chin at all times. Earlier in the episode, Tony is upset because he's too young to see a movie his older siblings are all going to. It isn't mentioned by name, but the poster the children bring back [[Indiana Jones|features a very familiar silhouette.]] Fans of the franchise need not hear more. Sneaky!
** Marc's crush in "Operation Crabby Bob" is named Sheena '''West'''on. Remind you of [[For Your Eyes Only (Filmfilm)|anyone]]?
** Not to mention that Megan as Gravity Girl in "Operation Fun and Games" can easily remind one of [[X -Men|Storm]].
* [[The Smurfette Principle]]
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: Tami. There was a time on this very wiki when her name was spelled "Tammy" every time.
* [[Spinoff Babies]]: They're not really related to the original spies, but Megan looks like an [[Expy]] of Alex appearance-wise, while Marc is pretty much a [[Gender Flip|gender flipped]], much younger Sam.
* [[Split -Screen Reaction]]
* [[Super Mode]]: Happens to Lee, Marc, and Megan in "Operation Fun and Games"
* [[Super Villain]]: The villains in this show, while they do still have really stupid [[Freudian Excuse|Freudian Excuses]], they're costumed and have powers or gadgets related to their "Theme", the [[Totally Spies!|the old show]] had some shades of it, but this show has more obvious [[Super Villain]] inspiration. Even the villains that ''do'' return from the original show have underwent a reworked design more befitting of a [[Super Villain]].
* [[Surprise Vehicle]]: The WOOHP helicopter in "Operation Spy-Sitter".
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: Tami for Mandy.
Line 61 ⟶ 58:
** In the second season he ups it up to fourteen while Marc and Megan become thirteen, thus counting as examples as well.
* [[Transformation Sequence]]: If the way they put on their spy suits in every episode doesn't count (it's simpler than most examples, but still), then the time that Lee, Megan, and Marc turned into super heroes in "Operation Fun and Games" definitely does.
* [[A Twinkle in Thethe Sky]]: In "Operation: Twins of Trouble" a WOOHP jet does this as it flies off into the distance.
* [[Unsound Effect]]: The opening sequence is full of them. It's used periodically within the episodes.
* [[We Want Our Jerk Back]]: Tami becomes the Clarks' friend in "Twins of Trouble" after they save her life, and she ends up causing them ''more'' trouble in helping them than she does antagonizing them. Realizing that they liked Tami better before, they eventually let her "save" them so that the debt is paid and she can go back to being the [[Alpha Bitch]].
