Spy Groove

Spy Groove (also known as SG) was an American animated series that aired for one season on Teletoon in Canada and for six episodes on MTV in the United States. It premiered on June 26, 2000. Spy Groove was created by Michael Gans, Richard Register and Kevin Thomsen, who also wrote and did the voices for the show. The general plot is about two suave yet cocky secret agents, Agent Number One and Agent Number Two, their boss, Helena Troy, who assigned them their missions. Like the tone of MTV's animated programs, Spy Groove is consistently tongue-in-cheek and often employs fast-paced banter between the protagonists (which predates years before similar programs on Adult Swim). It also features a number of pop songs in some episodes at the time of its broadcast.

Background and artistic style

Co-creators Michael Gans and Richard Register were comedy duo performers before becoming writers and utilized their fast-paced rapport in the show based on their acts. The end credits sequence shows the protagonists (voiced by Gans and Register) chat and bicker together on topics irrelevant to the events of each episode, which was the only use of improvisation from the voice actors.
