The Mighty B!

The Mighty B! is an animated comedy series created by Nickelodeon. The first season of The Mighty B! originally aired in the United States on Nickelodeon between April 26, 2008, and June 12, 2009. The season was produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studios, Paper Kite Productions and Polka Dot Pictures, and series co-creators Amy Poehler, Cynthia True and Erik Wiese served as executive producers.

The series focuses on Bessie Higgenbottom (Poehler), an ambitious Honeybee scout with a dream of earning more badges than any other Honeybee, and turning into her superhero alter-ego The Mighty B. The season consisted of 38 eleven-minute segments, and one half-hour final titled "Dragonflies". Poehler, True and Wiese had been developing the series several years before its premiere.[1] They talked about making a "female-driven" animated series,[1] and it was picked up by Nickelodeon in early 2006 under the name of Super Scout.[2]

The season received generally positive reviews. One reviewer called Bessie the "female answer to SpongeBob SquarePants".[3] 1.92 million viewers among Kids 2–11 watched the series premiere,[4] and the series averaged 3.1 million viewers each episode during the season.[5]
