Annedroids

- Season 1

(2014)

Kid scientist Anne learns about the world in her junkyard lab with her best pal Nick, and her android helpers.

Eleven-year old genius and aspiring scientist Anne has invented and built her own amazing androids. Far more than mere 'robots' (simple machines that can only perform single tasks), Anne's androids are thinking, feeling creations with curious, endearing personalities. Thanks to their insatiable curiosity, Anne's experiments always lead to unforeseen complications, hijinks, and misadventures. When new kid Nick moves in across the street, he discovers Anne's secret junkyard laboratory. Nick enlists the help of Shania, his fun-loving neighbor, and they soon befriend Anne...

Anne is working out the kinks with newly made Pal, while Nick, Shania and the other androids play Hide and Seek. When Nick accidentally activates a security program that makes Hand, Eyes and Pal go into super-hiding mode, the kids have to find the missing androids before Pal's circuits overload.

Anne, Shania and the androids help Nick build a lawn-mowing robot to help him with his chores. All the while, Nick's Mom keeps stopping by the junkyard to check on their progress, nearly discovering Pal each time she comes by!

Hand feels left out when Anne would prefer to use Pal to help with an experiment; she thinks Anne likes Pal better. Nick devises the Android Games to show Hand what she's good at but the plan backfires when Eyes and Pal unexpectedly shine in the games.

Shania wants to form a garage band with her brothers but they're not very interested (or very good). Meanwhile at the junkyard, Anne and Nick work on upgrades to the security system. When they put Shania in charge of android-sitting, she finds out they have hidden musical talents and together they create a Garbage Band.

Eyes discovers a butterfly in the junkyard and wants to learn to fly, so Anne, Nick and Shania experiment with different ways to help Eyes off the ground. After several attempts with wings and helicopter blades, they discover that helium balloons are the best solution. That is, until the balloons lift Eyes over the junkyard fence and into the neighbor's yard.

Anne has built a brand new observatory and invites Nick and Shania to a sleepover so they can witness the lunar eclipse. First, Nick needs to get permission from his Mom to spend the night at the junkyard. The kids decide that it's time for Nick's Mom to meet Anne's Dad.

Shania is stuck at home taking care of her little brother Garth while Anne and Nick build a rainbow maker with a prism. When Anne and Nick aren't looking, the prism accidentally sails over the junkyard fence and ends up in Garth's sticky hands. Shania's got to help get the prism back before anyone discovers the android in the house.

Anne experiments with growing plants, until her crafty robo-mouse eats her experiment. Nick, Anne and Shania devise ways to catch the robo-mouse while the androids discover a stray cat in the junkyard, and hilariously try to care for the cat like it's a plant. Just when Nick realizes the cat is the perfect solution to Anne's plant problem, the stray is gone. Will the cat come back?

Anne recreates Nikola Tesla's plasma ball for her summer school project, but the power goes out before she can get it up and running. She decides to try alternative types of energy (sun, wind and people power) to generate electricity for the ball. Meanwhile, Hand develops an interest in the electric company truck that comes to fix the power lines...can androids feel love too?

Nick's best friend Zack comes over for a sleepover, but Anne doesn't want anyone else to know about the androids, so doesn't invite them over to her magnetism experiment. When Pal is accidentally turned into a magnet, Zach gets drawn into the junkyard anyways thanks to his metal backpack. He ends up helping demagnetize Pal, and becomes the newest member of the junkyard crew.

When Hand acts out of control, Anne, Nick and Shania wonder if she's throwing temper tantrums or if she's been infected by a computer virus. As Hand acts increasingly dangerous, Anne's Dad tells them to shut Hand down, until the kids discover she was being manipulated by Shania's family's new remote control toy. But can they get Hand back to normal?

Anne is thrilled when a meteorite lands nearby because the space rock is the last one she needs for her extensive rock collection. Fortunately, Eyes was tracking it in the sky and knows exactly where it landed. Nick convinces Anne to let Eyes come on their space rock adventure but, little does he know, other amateur geologists and Nick's Reporter Mom are on the meteorite hunt too.
