Overview
The series follows Rodney, an anthropomorphic squirrel voiced by Richard Steven Horvitz, who constantly devises wild ideas and get-rich-quick schemes. His best friend and owner is a boy named Andy Johnson, voiced by Pamela Adlon. Andy's family includes his father Robert, voiced by Kurtwood Smith, a pessimistic and unlucky man who strongly dislikes Rodney, and his mother Lucille, voiced by Nancy Sullivan, who is cheerful and mild-tempered. The main antagonists are Kyle Finkster, voiced by Billy West, and his anthropomorphic parrot Salty Mike, voiced by Carlos Alazraqui, a pair of neighborhood bullies. Other characters include Oscar, Andy's nerdy friend with overprotective parents; Leon, a stray blue squirrel who lives in a tree in the Johnsons' backyard; Darlene, a yellow stray squirrel who is Rodney's love interest; Martha, a nerdy human child prodigy who is Andy's love interest; and Esther Flatbottom, a cranky old lady who rides a motorized cart.
