A Creator/CartoonNetwork [[CartoonCartoons original]] from back in 1999. Set on a desert island, it revolved around the three titular characters : Mike, a foreign exchange student from Manhattan; Lu, a self-appointed princess; and Og, a boy genius. Secondary characters include the rest of the native tribe (who, perplexingly, speak with British accents) and Lu's long-suffering pet turtle, Lancelot. Its basically Gilligan's Island and Peanuts in a blender.
