Lucky Fred is a Spanish animated series created by Myriam Ballesteros and co-produced by Imira Entertainment, Televisió de Catalunya, RAI Fiction in Italy, and Top Draw Animation in the Philippines. It aired in Disney Channel (Spain) and Nickelodeon (Latin America) on November 1, 2011 and Nickelodeon Philippines on February 18, 2012. A sequel is being produced to the first season.
Fred is a 15-year-old boy who was walking one day and saw a robot crash, which will turn into any electronical device Fred could ever imagine. Friday, the robot, was supposed to belong to Fred's next door neighbor Braianna Robeaux, a.k.a. top secret agent Brains, who Fred helps to protect the planet.
• Fred: Frederick "Fred" Luckpuig is a 13 year old boy, high school student, optimistic, cheerful and enthusiastic. An impulsive and social boy. Like most young people his age, Fred prefers to take the easy way out, or the coolest way, when it comes to solving difficult problems, especially if it's about school. He always gives the best if he wants to impress his friends, or the girl he likes. Fred has confidence in himself and is loyal to his friends Brianna and Friday. Sometimes, when panic strikes him, he becomes really nervous and can not make a decision. Fred always used to have a lot of bad luck, until one day, the ANIQUILAITOR 9-0-9-0-9-0-9, the robot with the most advanced technology of all came to into his life. Fred nicknamed him Friday, maybe in reference to Friday the 13th, which although it is usually a bad day, gave Fred a lot of luck. His special characteristic is that he always carries two dice in his hand. One white and one black, which he uses to make decisions ("Unfortunate Fred"). His phrase is "Sweet corn" and is in love with Nora, a girl in his class. Obviously, Fred is not the most appropriate person to take care of a powerful robot like Friday. Unfortunately, Fred can not turn his back on him, and even if he could, he would not. And Fred loves his robot friend and carefully looks after him. He really enjoys being with him. Can there be anything more fun than a transformer-robot that can become an awesome 4x4 car for mud racing? Or anything more practical than a friend capable of becoming a drill when you feel like going under the earth's crust? • Braianna / Agent Brains: Braianna is Fred's neighbor and her best friend, who hides a great secret. She is, in fact, "Agent Brains", member of "The Protectors". Brains is the Protector assigned to Earth and its mission is to reject any alien threat, before it is detected by the population. Agent Brains is amazing. She is academically brilliant, humble and cultured. She is agile and strong as an Olympic gymnast with a black belt in every single martial art throughout the galaxy, having been taught at the Academy of Protectors where she trained and learned everything except how to be a normal girl . Now that she has been assigned to be on Earth, she has to make an effort to pose as "Braianna Robeaux", a clumsy nerdy girl almost invisible, with bad attendance and bad grades. All teachers think that Brianna does not try hard enough. When she becomes Brains, she has self-confidence and proves to be a real expert in robotic engineering and science. However, while at school, she feels insecure and unable to comprehend the nuances of enigmatic human relationships. Deep down, Brains would like to be like any other girl. She is the daughter of the Super Commander, and although they do not spend much time together (because you can see that he is always on a ship in space) Braianna loves him very much. Normally he calls it "Super Commander" but sometimes she slips and calls him simply "Dad". To keep their secret, they use RoboParents, named Robert and Roberta, who are some crazy robots. Her relationship with Fred is just friendship. But you can see that sometimes, when Fred talks to Nora she gets angry or upset with him ("Not ready for combat" and "You have a Fred-mail"). Although she fights against big and fearsome aliens in "Ardillofobia" it is revealed that she has a fear of squirrels, but she seems to get over it thanks to the help of Fred and Friday. • Friday: His real name is Aniquilator 9-0-9-0-9-0-9. Friday is a shape-shifting robot capable of turning into anything Fred wants. He's usually something fun, like a flying backpack or a pair of basketball shoes that make Fred able to do a slam dunk. Friday loves to go to school with Fred hidden in his backpack, transformed into a watch, or an mp3 player. Friday obeys the orders of Fred like his little brother, doing everything he says with enthusiasm. Friday is like a big boy - enthusiastic, impulsive, impatient and playful. For Friday, every day on this strange planet called Earth is a party and he explores the world of Fred like a kid in a candy store. Friday is a very sophisticated machine, but he has his weaknesses. For example, if he gets wet, he may short-circuit and behave unexpectedly, or if he gets too close to a magnet, his memory will be badly damaged. Friday was conceived as a powerful weapon for the protection of Earth and programmed to obey only the voice of its master, which was meant to be Brains. When Friday was sent to the Earth, a small accident made it so he stayed with Fred, instead of landing on the platform of Brains' place. However, Brains' father, the Commander of "The Protectors," still believes that everything went as planned and that the Annihilator is still under the control of Brains. • Commander: The Commander (Super Commander) is the leader of "The Protectors" and the father of Brains. All the time he's in the space at the base of the Protectors. He is in charge of informing Brains of all her missions, but his other work is unknown at the moment. He does not know that Friday belongs to Fred, because Brains is afraid he will get angry if he finds out. So on several occasions he suggests using Friday.
