Teenage Toons: Pepper Ann (1997)

 Part of ABC's One Saturday Morning block, Pepper Ann chronicled the misadventures of the titular 7th grader (Kathleen Wilhoite), at home and at school. 

The series also spent some time as part of UPN's Disney's One Too weekday block in 2000, but once the series hit 65 episodes total, Disney ended the series. The supporting cast included Jeff Bennett (Johnny Bravo), voicing multiple characters, and, as the school principal, Don Adams (ex-Inspector Gadget, Tennessee Tuxedo, Get Smart).

In "Thanksgiving Dad", from season 1, Pepper Ann frets about whether or not her dad will come home for the holiday.


If the designs look familiar, they were created by artist Tom Warburton, who'd later create Codename: Kids Next Door for Cartoon Network.

Rating: B.
