Premise

Seventh grader Cornelius Fillmore (voiced by Orlando Brown), a juvenile delinquent with a record, was caught raiding the school's new chalk shipment. He was "arrested" and given a choice by the safety patrol officer who caught him: either help him solve another case or spend the rest of middle school in detention. Fillmore decided to help out and he eventually decided to join up with the safety patrol.

The show is based around him and his partner Ingrid Third (voiced by Tara Strong) at X Middle School, which is located in the suburbs of Minneapolis and Saint Paul in Minnesota. The show's format parodies that of hard-boiled police dramas. X's safety patrol is much more actively involved in student behavior than a typical school's safety patrol, and officers often seem to spend more time patrolling than normally attending class, although they can be seen attending at times.

As part of the Safety Patrol at X Middle School, Fillmore and Ingrid solve crimes and mysteries. The series usually presents kid-friendly versions of common crimes, such as stolen scooters, smuggling tartar sauce, holding illegal frog races, and counterfeiting collector cards.

Characters

Every character is named after a street in San Francisco, California.

Main

• Cornelius C. Fillmore (voiced by Orlando Brown) is a seventh grader at X Middle School and the main protagonist of the series. He is a member of the Safety Patrol. His middle name is never revealed in the series. Fillmore was a juvenile delinquent; his crimes included "chalk boosting", "milk counterfeiting", and "back talkery". Fillmore's life changed when Safety Patrol member Wayne Liggit gave him a choice: spend the rest of middle school in detention or help him solve another case. Said choice came after he got busted for boosting a chalk shipment a few months after a world record bowl of custard sabotage attempt when the head of the Home Economics Department, Mr Geary, had called him "a lost cause" in class a few days beforehand which made Fillmore want to prove him right. Fillmore was recruited into the Safety Patrol as a result of his helping out. It is revealed in the episodes "A Forgotten Yesterday" and "Immune to All but Justice" that during in his days of being a juvenile delinquent, he was partners-in-crime with Sonny Lombard and Penny Madrid, both of whom are still delinquents. This, along with his own criminal history, brought him into close contact with Student Council Representative Peabody causing them to have history which still continues to this day. It is shown that he's an only child, has a pet dog and a pet fish, which died in "Next Stop, Armageddon" causing him to get a replacement. In "The Nineteenth Hole is a Shallow Grave" Fillmore is shown to be skilled at mini golf and always was. So he decided to try for the X Middle School mini golf team during his delinquent days. But because of his discipline problems he was not allowed in. So he challenged the whole team to a match as retribution for not letting him play. There, he beat them so badly and completely for everything that they had, that they never played the game again and neither did he. It is revealed that he kept the golf club that he used in said match with six notches etched into it as a representation of the six lives that he ruined. At the end of the episode, he makes amends and gives back the team his ill-gotten winnings along with the trophy he won as interest. After which he once again challenges the team to a match, only this time just for fun. He is known for going above and beyond the standards of other Safety Patrol officers. He almost never loses a target even if it means destroying school property, which he happens to do a lot, much to the dismay of Jr. Commissioner Vallejo. Before moving to X Middle School, he lived in Cleveland, Ohio.
• Ingrid Third (voiced by Tara Strong) is Fillmore's goth best friend and partner on the X Middle School Safety Patrol. Before her arrival at X Middle School, Ingrid was sent to a reform school in Nepal for an incident involving a stinkbomb and a piñata. Ingrid, another former delinquent and a certified genius due to her photographic memory, arrives at X Middle School and partners with Fillmore after he helped her clear her name in "Ingrid Third, Public Enemy #1". Her father is a professor and she has an older sister named Ariella. Her mother is seen but never mentioned. It is revealed in "The Unseen Reflection" that she played Little League for two years.
• Horatio Vallejo (voiced by Horatio Sanz) is the junior commissioner of the Safety Patrol and Fillmore's immediate superior. Vallejo has had some rough experiences in the Safety Patrol as an officer: losing his friend and fellow safety patrol officer Malika to the Red Robins, a distorted girl scout troop after she went undercover and went bad leaving the force, and unintentionally betraying his partner and best friend, Frank Bishop, after he refused to speak out against his expulsion from the force, believing it would threaten his chances of becoming commissioner. Vallejo has issues with drinking too much cocoa, which is a kid-friendly version of issues with excessive caffeine or alcohol. Vallejo is often put at odds against Fillmore, such as when he is forced to take Fillmore off a case even though he does not want to, or Fillmore is close to solving it. He also often refuses Fillmore for his reckless destruction of school property, which usually allows Fillmore to catch the criminal, but makes both him and the safety patrol look bad. The only thing that gets Vallejo more mad is when he sees how much it is going to cost to repair the damages, caused by Fillmore. Vallejo's catchphrase is yelling "Fillmore!", which he does in almost every episode when he hears of something Fillmore broke, like a waxer, or ordering expensive walkie talkies by tricking him into signing his signature. Another running gag is that his first name is either unknown or covered up throughout the series.
• Karen Tehama (voiced by Lauren Tom) is the crime scene investigator on the Safety Patrol who has a keen interest in forensics and can usually be counted on to know the word on the street. Although she appears in almost every episode, she is more of a background character.
• Joseph Anza (voiced by Danny Tamberelli) is the partner of Karen Tehama, known for his bodyguarding training and like Tehama, tends to know the word on the street. Although he appears in almost every episode, he is more of a background character.
• Danny O'Farrell (voiced by Kyle Sullivan) is the crime scene photographer for the Safety Patrol, though it is often joked that he should not be qualified to be a Safety Patroller by Vallejo. He has a tendency to get on other people's nerves and has some deep thoughts, overreacting, and weird ideas. O'Farrell serves as the comic relief on the show. He is also able to develop film with common household items as seen in "Masterstroke of Malevolence". His name, red hair and kilt characterize him as Scottish.
• Dawn S. Folsom (voiced by Wendie Malick) is the principal of X Middle School, though she acts like a District Attorney or a mayor figure in crime shows or is similar to M from the James Bond series. In context of the show's police drama parody theme, she represents the overstressed, image-conscious mayor archetype, where in every episode she threatens to turn the Safety Patrol office into something else if they are unable to solve the case. Tough on the outside with looks that can stop any student in their tracks, she runs her school with a strong presence – but she does it for pride and honor. She does have a kind heart on the inside and does much for her students and staff, sometimes anonymously. It is stated that she is about 40 years old, as in "Next Stop, Armageddon" it is her birthday, and Vallejo mentions that "this year, it starts with a 4".
• Vice Principal Raycliff (voiced by Jeff Probst) is the school's vice principal and Folsom's right-hand man. Though he acts like a secretary or as a vice mayor in crime shows, he never really says much, but can be counted on to gush out school facts, figures and catchy metaphors at the drop of a hat. It is possible that he attended school with Folsom, according to an old school album. It is revealed in "Two Wheels, Full Throttle, No Breaks" that he gets seasick.

Recurring

• Mr. Collingwood (voiced by Kyle Gass) is one of the teachers at X Middle School.
• Augie Sansome (voiced by Frankie Muniz in "Test of the Tested", Kiel Holmes in "This Savior, a Snitch"): In the former, he was suspected by Fillmore and Ingrid of stealing the answer sheets to the S.A.T.T.Y. 9 test, but what he really stole turned out to be packets of tartar sauce. In the latter, he wound up being a witness to a set up on Filmore and is asked to testify at a student council meeting to clear Fillmore's name.
• Mrs. Cornwall (voiced by Holland Taylor) is the algebra teacher at X Middle School and a student in 1956. She strongly believes in the school's honor code. In "A Cold Day at X" she places the answer key to one of her tests out in the open to prove her belief in the code.
• Librarian Lendrum (voiced by Brian George) is X Middle School's librarian.
• Cheri Shotwell (voiced by Debi Derryberry) is the lively, bubbly, blonde-haired cheerleader who also serves as a reporter or interviewer. She also frequently hosts parties and sleepovers.
• Philsky (voiced by Michael Welch) is the school's reporter, who usually co-anchors with Cheri.
• Vern Natoma (voiced by Marcus Toji): Editor-in-chief of the school's newspaper.
• Professor Third (voiced by Anthony Head): College professor and the father of Ingrid and Ariella.
• Jamie Townsend (voiced by Chris Marquette) is a smart student, who wears glasses.
• Proper Kid (voiced by Shaun Fleming) is a blonde-haired boy dressed like a sea captain, which is appropriate, considering that he is a member of the Paddle Boat Club. He is so called due to his always pointing out what is fit.
• Lab Coat Kid #1 (voiced by Chris Marquette): As his title suggests, he is one of the kids who wear lab coats and often involved in the lab or science class.
• Wade (voiced by Michael Welch) is another blonde X Middle School reporter.
• Wayne Ligget (voiced by Lukas Behnken) is Fillmore's original Safety Patrol partner before he eventually moved away and was replaced by Ingrid when she came to X. He is best friends with Fillmore, and before Ingrid became Filmore's partner, Filmore refused to have any partners because he was still greatly affected by Wayne's departure. He has light brown hair. As such, little is known about him and his background, but he is referenced a few times. However, he and Fillmore would meet up again in "South of Friendship, North of Honor", when the latter went to Tennessee where the former is based and resides currently to take on a case there. Fillmore helps Wayne take down the schools distorted patrol sheriff and Wayne is subsequently named as his school's new safety patrol sheriff.
• Frankie Polk (voiced by Lukas Behnken) is a blonde-haired boy who has an affinity for sketching and painting, and as such, is president of the Art Club.
• Sarah Beel (voiced by Mae Whitman) is one of several students at X Middle School who either bear malice to the school mascot, Lobstee the Lobster, or to anything else associated with lobstering, in Sarah's case, being the latter. She was accused of damaging the "Lobsterman at Port" painting at a art museum in Masterstroke of Malevolence

Production

The announcer of the series was voice actor Don LaFontaine, best known for his catchphrase "In a world..."

He deduces that the Shredder is hitting students from the Drama Club in alphabetical order – and his own sister, Francine, is next on the list, but these shredding incidents are not all they appear to be.

As of June 2024, like with Buzz Lightyear, The Legend of Tarzan, Aladdin: The Series, and many other late 1990s animated series, Fillmore! has yet to be added to Disney+ in the United States.
