A Creator/CartoonNetwork [[Creator/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; the concept seems to be that they are the descendants of a British shipwreck who have gone native), a trio of incompetent {{Pirates}} (possibly the descendants of the pirates who caused said shipwreck and were then wrecked themselves), and Lu's long-suffering pet turtle, Lancelot. Its basically ''Series/GilligansIsland'' and ''{{Peanuts}}'' [[XMeetsY in a blender]] (with just a hint of ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'').

The show lasted for only two seasons, with 26 episodes created.
