is an American children's cartoon series co-created by Amy Poehler for Nickelodeon.
Bessie lives in San Francisco with her single mother Hilary, brother Ben, and dog Happy.
[3] Brown Johnson, president of animation at Nickelodeon, called the show a "break-out hit" that "complements and strengthens" the Saturday morning line-up.
The show has also been nominated for two Daytime Emmy Awards, winning one for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation.
Examples include "Sleepless in San Francisco" (based on the 1993 film Sleepless in Seattle) and Dirty Happy (based on Clint Eastwood's 1971 film Dirty Harry, which even includes references quotes from the movie).
