It is a rather simple show about three ordinary schoolchildren named Crandall (center), Hector (left), and Brenda (right), who take on the secret identities of the eponymous [[They Fight Crime|crime-fighting]] trio to battle some stupid evildoers. As superheroes, they call themselves Captain Crandall, Skate Lad, and Rope Girl, respectively. |
|||
Perhaps because of the simplicity of that, the show was never one of Disney's popular franchises (some detractors falsely [[They Copied It, So It Sucks|accused it of being a ripoff of]] ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'', despite the obvious fact that Teamo was made up of [[Three Amigos|two males and one girl]] who were not related by blood nor the result of a lab accident) and only had 39 episodes (albeit each one following a [[Two Shorts]] format). What the viewers missed out on, though, was a short [[Story Arc]] in the third season regarding Crandall's superpowers (he thinks he is an alien) that was [[Cut Short|left unresolved]] as a result of the series' cancellation. |

Teamo Supremo (2002-2004) was a Disney cartoon originally aired as part of Disney's One Saturday Morning right before its transition into ABC Kids, and was just as quickly shown in reruns on Toon Disney (and for a short while, the regular Disney Channel) when the channel was still showing Disney cartoons on a regular basis.
It is a rather simple show about three ordinary schoolchildren named Crandall (center), Hector (left), and Brenda (right), who take on the secret identities of the eponymous crime-fighting trio to battle some stupid evildoers. As superheroes, they call themselves Captain Crandall, Skate Lad, and Rope Girl, respectively.
Perhaps because of the simplicity of that, the show was never one of Disney's popular franchises (some detractors falsely accused it of being a ripoff of The Powerpuff Girls, despite the obvious fact that Teamo was made up of two males and one girl who were not related by blood nor the result of a lab accident) and only had 39 episodes (albeit each one following a Two Shorts format). What the viewers missed out on, though, was a short Story Arc in the third season regarding Crandall's superpowers (he thinks he is an alien) that was left unresolved as a result of the series' cancellation.
- Adam Westing: Gary Owens as the Dark Talon (Crandall's paternal grandpa).
- Berserk Button: Crandall when the Out of This World Cafe and Museum of the Unknown gets destroyed in "Science Friction!"
- Big Eater: Brenda.
- Blondes Are Evil: The Sinister Stylist.
- By the Power of Greyskull: "Rope me, Brenda!"
- Catch Phrases: In addition to the main trio's battle cries...
- "Neither did I, but I guess I do!"
- "Y'ello, you got your guv."
- "...IN JAIL!!"
- "I have to know this stuff if I'm going to be a [insert occupation here] someday."
- "Crandall, Brenda, and Hector, the governor needs you in his office; you are excused."
- Captain Superhero
- Clark Kenting: Crandall's mom seemingly can't tell why she never sees her son and "that kid from Teamo Supremo" in the same place; however, in the last episode, we find out that she's been aware of it the whole time.
- Cephalothorax: Technor without his Humongous Mecha.
- Compressed Vice: Brenda's slovenliness.
- Contest Winner Cameo: The Cinco de Mayo episode features one by a girl who had won Toon Disney's Most Animated Kid Search.
- Continuity Nod: While up in the attic in one episode, Crandall finds what appears to be an old costume of his with a "C" emblem on it. A few episodes later, we see that "C" emblem again on a microchip of the Cloaked Skull's mask, with Crandall remarking that it looks familiar to him somehow.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive (Will 2 Wynn)
- Cross-Dressing Voices: Alanna Ubach as Hector/Skate Lad.
- Christmas Episode: "Happy Holidays, Mr. Gruff"
- Da Chief
- Disappeared Dad: Averted; the kids' respective fathers make a brief appearance in "Grounded!"
- Disney Death: The last episode has the villain throwing a statue on Teamo and seemingly crushing them, but Crandall's super-strength suddenly appears and he lifts the statue up.
- Do Not Call Me "Paul": "Big Skull" does not like being addressed by that name.
- Eagle Land: Flavor 1 definitely forms a part of the show's theme -- highlighted when the show featured a villain based on the Red Scare.
- Engineered Public Confession
- Everybody Do the Endless Loop
- Evil Diva: Tiffany Javelins, the Sinister Songstress, in her first appearance.
- Evil Minions: Most of the villains have them.
- Evil Twin: Dr. 'Droid makes robot copies of everyone, including Teamo and even himself.
- Expy: The Governor may be a Bill Clinton expy, if The Nineties trend of having them in childrens' cartoons is anything to go by. (cf. Animaniacs, Dexter's Laboratory.)
- Gentleman Thief: Le Poodle
- Getting Crap Past the Radar: In the banned Valentine's Day episode, the
BirthdayValentine Bandit kidnaps Governor Kevin's girlfriend; he responds to this development by saying "That fiend stole my heart!" (Taking this line in the wrong context might be the reason the episode was banned.) - Heel Face Turn: Tiffany Javelyns, alias the Songstress, helps Teamo after her first appearance.

- Missing Episode: "Will You Be My Valentine Bandit?" / "Uncontrollable Goopy Substance" was aired on Toon Disney only once, in a lousy time slot, and then never again. It is not known why the episode was never re-aired, although Epileptic Trees surface on these.
