Kids of the Playground, or just KOTP, is a fan site dedicated to the American TV Cartoon Recess

Info AbOUT the Site

This Site was Created by Ashley Grist, one of Recess' "number one" fans. The main part of the site is known as 'The Playground', which takes you to the different locations of the site including Character Information, Fan Art etc etc

Character Info

This page tells you about the different characters featured in recess, from the TJ and the Gang, to all characters who've made one or more appearances in the show throughout the entire series. An Example below, shows a very brief summary of three teacher characters in the show:

Miss Muriel B. Finster - She's Tough on the outside, But really she's Kind at heart

Principal Peter Prickly - 3rd Street school's Big cheese

Principal Paul Prickly - Peter prickly's Older Brother, And he really is a sore loser!

Facts about Recess

This page is dedicated to information about the show itself, including the cast. Some of the information tells you about the different characters you occasionally see, and also some of the facts come straight from the mouths of the legendary Paul and Joe themselves, such as: one about 3rd Street's Brain Box, Gretchen Grundler. The Fact Itself is:

When they Drew Gretchen, they actually made her look somewhat like one of their Wives, this is what i can remember, and when i saw the photo they showed the viewers, the Real life face on the picture looked almost like Gretchen.

Character Profiles

Here is where Ashleys' imagination really hit a high point, instead of just writing a normal profile for the characters, she made it more like an interview with the 'kids' themselves, making it seem as though we are talking to the characters themselves, instead of just reading about them. Here is just a quick snip from one interview with the 3rd Street's Snitch Randall Weems:

Best thing you've discovered: Hey, I'm Not Gonna tell ya that!, Huh?, oh ok, it was that time i found spinelli's First name was Ashley!

Best Thing you've done: Hmmm, i know lots of good things i've done, Tattled On TJ, Helped Miss Finster when she Hurt her back, and the best one was when

One of the Ashleys (Drawn by Ashley) and one of Ashley Spinelli, or Spinelli in a dress. Please Send more Fan Art Pictures to Ashley, so that it looks bigger and better than ever before

Guestbook

There used to be a popular guestbook on the site where other fans could praise the show, and also the site, but unfortunately, it was closed due to some unsavoury postings which weren't tolerated
