I Got a Rocket
I Got a Rocket is an animated television series centred on a boy named Vincent "Vinnie", who received an anthropomorphic rocket for his birthday. The rocket acts as a best friend to Vinnie and is fond of assisting him. The show is based on the book by Matt Zurbo. The show's run was from 1 December 2006 to 24 May 2007. Although the series was short-lived, it received a 2008 Emmy Award for "New Approaches - Daytime Children's Entertainment". Characters

Main characters
Rocket (voiced by Thomas Bromhead): A hyperactive and eccentric rocket  invented for  Vinnie's birthday. Rocket is orange and blue (as in the book by Matt Zurbo), and fiercely relies on assistance, always prepared to assist Vinnie in a situation, although sometimes over-confident in episodes such as "Mackerel Mates". He always says "You Got it, V-Man!" whenever a situation involving Vinnie has occurred. Vincent Q/Vinnie (voiced by Jamie Oxenbould in Australia, and Thomas Bromhead in the U.S.): An 11-year-old boy who receives Rocket for his birthday. Vinnie converted into a hip, popular boy after the invention of Rocket. Despite his popularity at school, it is a recurring gag in the series that a trio of siblings named The Duckies give him a wedgie, and Vinnie is rather timid when face-to-face with the love of his life, Maya Kovsky. Other
Professor Quigley Q (voiced by Marcello Fabrizi): Vinnie's father and a genius. It is a recurring gag in the series that he uses scientific words in transitional phrases, including the word "degrees" in the phrase, "I'm proud of you, son!" Crystal Q (voiced by Rachel King): Vinnie's sister. Ma Ducky (voiced by Drew Forsythe): The ambitious mother of the bullying triplets known as The Duckys. She is the lunch lady and librarian of Vinnie's school, despises Vinnie and Rocket and ignores her children's bad behaviour.

Frankie Ducky (voiced by Rachel King): The leader and sole female of the Duckys.
