Jeremy is a 9-ish year-old boy who finds
himself much more comfortable wrapped in
the world that he imagines than that of the
real one, which he finds frustrating.
He's not the perfect student (though he is not
unintelligent), he has no real interest in
sports (though he is not out of shape), and he
doesn't really relate well with his family, or
other kids his age.
Jeremy's only real connection to
understanding the world around him is
through his friendship with an imaginary lamb
named Tim.

Tim is a little lamb who speaks perfect
english. He is also the Yin to Jeremy's Yang.
His low-key attitude and conservative
approach often clash with Jeremy's "shoot-
first-ask-questions-later" mentality.
He plays many roles in Jeremy's childhood: a
comrade, a conscience, a confidant, a
partner-in-crime, or even the perfect
traveling companion to the undiscovered.
But above all, Tim is Jeremy's best friend.
And he is always up for what Jeremy has in
store for them next.

Jeremy's dad is an average, but intellectual man who more often than not
is interrupted by Jeremy in the middle of a "good book".
His interests include
history, literature, and "the great outdoors" (all of which he often takes
the opportunity to "discuss" with those around him until they are board to
tears).
His relationship with Jeremy usually consists of a confused attempts at
discussing topics that Jeremy not only doesn't understand,
but also isn't really interested in. This leads to a very odd
and frustrating time for both of them. |

Jeremy's mom is the average mom who is doing her best to create a good
home for her family, but with the added stress of keeping track
of Jeremy every day.
Jeremy's mom loves him absolutely, but try as she may,
she just cannot get past how absurd his actions seem at times,
which sometimes leads her to simply give up and stop trying to
understand him.
Jeremy's mom also serves as the only character who can keep
Jeremy's dad in check with very little effort when she wants to. |

Kelly is a girl who lives down the street from Jeremy, and also attends
the same school. She is in most ways, the very opposite of Jeremy.
She
is a sporty, hard-working student who is popular, though she doesn't
seek approval from anybody to achieve her popularity. Kelly is
at her core an individual who simply doesn't compromise who she
is for the people around her - which is the only similarity she
has with Jeremy.
Though
neither would admit it, this is likely why they both enjoy one
another's company. |

As an elementary age student, a lot of Jeremy's day is spent in a classroom,
in which he (often unintentionally) makes the life of his teacher
very much more challenging than she might have thought.
Its not clear exactly
how old Teacher is, but it is obvious that her years of dealing
with other children (probably not unlike Jeremy) have left her jaded and ready
for summer time before the Fall semester ends. But she makes a noticeable
attempt to give it her all whenever possible... until Jeremy reminds her of
how things are. |

Jeremy's Grandma is a character so happy and full of cheer that she often
comes across as naive and even a bit obnoxious. Her loving eye
for Jeremy makes her ultimately blind to the things he does, which often leads
to frustration toward her from Jeremy's Dad and Mom (who feel that she spoils
Jeremy).
The majority of the comedy that comes from Grandma's character springs
from moments when she seems absolutely oblivious to what is upsetting
everyone around her. She is just to happy to notice. |

Of all the characters, Grandpa relates the most with Jeremy. He is a soft-spoken
man with a big heart, and on the rare occasion that he gives his
opinion, everybody is inclined to listen.
Grandpa often becomes the contrasting
figure to his son, Jeremy's Dad, by countering his personality
with laid-back optimism and a healthy does of being able to "stop
and smell the roses".
Although Grandpa is proud of both of his sons, and loves them equally, he
gets along best with Uncle J. |

Jenny is Jeremy's older sister. She rarely takes much notice in Jeremy
(who she thinks is very weird and irritating). When she does find
herself being part of Jeremy's day, it often leads to conflict.
Although Jenny
is only a few years older than Jeremy, the age differences are
crucial, and they live in totally different social worlds.
Tim
doesn't particularly like Jenny, but encourages Jeremy to build
a better relationship with her out of principle. |

Uncle J is the younger, more laid back brother of Jeremy's Dad. As with
Jeremy's Dad, it is not clear what line of work Uncle J has, but
there is more than one occasion in which it is eluded that Uncle J has recently
lived with Grandma & Grandpa.
More often than not, Uncle J is the most relatable
character because he ends up being the most "normal". He is the most clear
window through which we as viewers are able to clearly see how
distinct the rest of the characters would seem to us "normal" folk. |
