'''''Class of 3000''''' is a [[United States|American]] Comedy [[animated television series]] on [[Cartoon Network]] that is created, executive produced by and starring André Benjamin (a.k.a [[André 3000]]) of the hip-hop group [[OutKast]] as superstar and music teacher Sunny Bridges, set at [[Atlanta, Georgia]]'s Westley School of Performing Arts. Mr. Bridges is a hip-hop artist who occasionally lectures in Atlanta's [[Little Five Points]] neighborhood. The voice cast includes [[Tom Kenny]], [[Janice Kawaye]], [[Phil LaMarr]], [[Jeff Bennett]], [[Jennifer Hale]], and [[Crystal Scales]]. The series made its world premiere (previously advertised as a live premiere with performances by [[Chris Brown]]) on [[November 3]], [[2006]] at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT with a one-hour special [http://animationinsider.net/article.php?articleID=1079]. The show was co-created and developed by Veteran Producer Tom Lynch ([[South of Nowhere]], [[The Secret World of Alex Mack]], and [[The Journey of Allen Strange]], [[The Jersey]], and [[Kids Inc]].) & [[Patric M. Verrone]]. The official site is up, and contains the theme song, pictures and profiles of the main characters, and the show's premiere. A section on Cartoon Network.com has been created as well. The title does not refer to the students' graduating year, but to the class being taught by André 3000's character, Sunny Bridges.
'''Athabaskan''' or '''Athabascan''' (also '''Athapascan''' or '''Athapaskan''') is the name of a large group of closely related [[Indigenous peoples of the Americas|Native American]] peoples, also known as the '''Athabasca Indians''' or '''Athapaskes''', located in two main Southern and Northern groups in western North America, and of their language family. The Athabaskan family is the largest family in North America in terms of number of languages and the number of speakers (the [[Uto-Aztecan languages|Uto-Aztecan]] family which extends into Mexico has many more speakers). In terms of territory, only the [[Algic languages|Algic language family]] covers a larger area.
 
==Main Characters==
The word ''Athabaskan'' is an [[Anglo|anglicized]] version of the [[Cree]] name for [[Lake Athabasca]] (''āthap-āsk-ā-w'' {{IPA|/a:θapa:ska:w/}} “grass or reeds here and there”) in [[Canada]]. The name was assigned by [[Albert Gallatin]] in his 1836 (written 1826) classification of the languages of North America. He acknowledged that the name for these related languages was entirely his own individual preference, writing:
[[Image:Kidsofclassof3000.jpg|315px|left|thumb|An image of Sunny Bridges (far right) running his students (from left to right), Eddie, Kim (behind Eddie), Tamika, Philly Phil, Kam, Madison, and Li'l D.]]
 
===Sunny Bridges===
:"I have designated them by the arbitrary denomination of Athabascas, which derived from the original name of the lake." (1836:116-7)
The hometown hero of Little Five Points, Sunny is a musical genius who left Georgia to become a recording artist. Over the years in the employ of his money-grubbing manager, however, he lost his passion for music, because of the stress, and returned to his old neighborhood, intending to go into permanent retirement; instead, Li'l D convinced him to become the new [[music]] teacher at [[Westley School of Performing Arts]]. Sunny is devoted to his students, but he is forced to keep a low profile in order to avoid media attention. While he can play many instruments, his favorite is the [[saxophone]]. Sunny's character is loosely based off of Jazz Saxophonist [[Sonny Rollins]], both in his appearance and reclusive personality.
 
==Languages=Li'l D===
Li'l D has been called a "li'l me" by creator [[Andre 3000]]. He is the unofficial leader of the Westley School's music class. Bright, talented, and confident to a fault, he is incredibly tenacious when it comes to music. Through sheer determination (as well as breaking and entering), he managed to recruit Sunny Bridges as the class's new music teacher. Though Li'l D considers himself remarkably streetwise, his overconfidence often leads him into trouble. He plays the [[drums]], as well as several other instruments.
 
===Tamika Jones===
The 31 Northern Athabaskan languages are spoken throughout the interior of [[Alaska]] and the interior of northwestern [[Canada]] in the [[Yukon]] and [[Northwest Territories]] as well as in the provinces of [[British Columbia]], [[Alberta]], [[Saskatchewan]] and [[Manitoba]]. Several Athabaskan languages are [[official language]]s in the Northwest Territories, including [[Dene Suline]], [[Dogrib]] or [[Tlicho]], [[Gwichʼin language|Gwich’in]], and [[Slavey]].
Brash and aggressive, Tamika makes it her business to keep the other students in line. As her reputation implies, she has earned the title "toughest girl in school." She is also extremely stubborn. The slightest misstep is grounds for a threatening fist. "Prove it or Move it" is her trademark phrase, but is not sure what to do if someone chooses "Prove it!". Though she has a sharp tongue, Tamika shares a close bond with her classmates, and will protect them as often as she bullies them. She plays the [[harp]], but is also adept with an [[acoustic guitar]], along with the [[electric guitar]].
 
===Kam===
The seven Pacific Coastal Athabaskan languages are spoken in southern [[Oregon]] and northern [[California]]. Isolated from the northern and coastal languages, the six Southern Athabaskan languages, including the different [[Apache]] peoples and [[Navajo language|Navajo]], are spoken in the American Southwest and the northwestern part of [[Mexico]].
Kam is Kim's twin brother and her polar opposite. He generally projects an air of refinement and class -- or so he would like to think. He has his own creativity but the opposite of Kim's. It was apparently pressure from Kam and Kim's father that forged Kam's uptight attitude. He primarily enjoys classical music, but is versatile enough to play virtually any type of [[keyboard]].
 
===Kim===
[[Eyak]] and Athabaskan together form a genetic grouping called ''Athabaskan-Eyak''. [[Tlingit language|Tlingit]] is distantly related to this group to form the [[Na-Dené languages|Na-Dené]] stock (also known as Athabaskan-Eyak-Tlingit).
Kim is Kam's twin sister and his polar opposite. She is very energetic, sometimes to the point of mischief, and loves to torment her more old-fashioned sibling. Generally, though, she has the better common sense, and she is extremely creative. Kim plays the [[Turntablism|turntable]], [[tamborine]], [[xylophone]], [[marimba]], [[cymbals]], [[triangle]], [[vibraphone]], [[maracas]], [[piano]], and most other non-drum [[percussion]] instruments.
 
===FamilyPhilly divisionPhil===
Brilliant and imaginative, Philly Phil, the oldest of the group at 13, tends to stand out for his unusual fashion sense. He can invent useful devices at the drop of a hat. Though Li'l D and the other students do not fully understand Phil's many eccentricities, they are willing to accept him as one of their own. Philly Phil has an appetite for any type of food, especially candy. He plays [[bass guitar]] and the upright or [[double bass]].
====Overview====
 
===Edward "Eddie" Phillip James Lawrence III===
The Athabaskan language family has three main geographic groupings: Northern, Pacific Coast, and Southern. There is discussion of whether the Pacific Coast languages actually forms a valid genetic grouping. The Northern group is particularly problematic. Due to the failure of the usual criteria of shared innovation and systematic phonetic correspondences to provide well-defined subgroupings, the Athabaskan family (especially the Northern languages) has been called a "cohesive complex" by [[Michael Krauss]] (1973, 1982). Therefore, the ''Stammbaumtheorie'' model (family tree) of genetic classification may be inappropriate. The languages of the Southern branch are much more homogeneous and are the only clearly genetic subgrouping.
Eddie, who speaks with a slight Southern drawl, is the heir to the Lawrence fortune (According to the first episode, his father is the head of the Earth division of "Cola Cola"). A cultured aristocrat, he has something of a high-and-mighty attitude concerning the other students, and he needs to learn that not all problems can be solved with money. He is the only character to have ten fingers at any time (he will usually have eight, but for at least one scene he had 10, which he said that was because he was rich), which he needs to play complex instruments such as the [[clarinet]]. Eddie's clarinet is quite different, as it is [[cyan]] instead of the usual black. It appears that he has a crush on Tamika although this was only suggested in two episodes (Home and Westley Side Story) and officaly announced by Eddie in the episode "Love is in the Hair...Net". Eddie primarily plays wind instruments like the [[trumpet]], [[clarinet]], [[trombone]], and [[flute]]. Eddie has spoken of having Swiss ancestory.
 
===Madison Spaghettini Papadopoulos===
Below is an outline of the family showing only the major branches of the family. This outline follows mostly the classification of Keren Rice as seen in Goddard (1996) and Mithun (1999).
She is cheerful, upbeat and extremely spacey as is evident from her perpetual vacant smile; however, her [[flower-child]] appearance belies the perceptive mind behind it. Madison plays bowed string instruments such as the [[violin]] and [[cello]].
 
==Minor characters==
# Southern Alaska
'''Principal Luna''' - The principal at Westley School for Performing Arts. He seems to be of Hispanic decent, and is always trying to make money for the school. He has a crush on the lunch lady Ms. Squatenchowder. His favorite word is fantastic.
# Central Alaska-Yukon
# Northwestern Canada
# Tsetsaut
# Central British Columbia
# Sarsi
# Kwalhioqua-Tlatskanai
# Pacific Coast Athabaskan
# Apachean
 
'''Sunny's Manager and Men''' - Seen in "Home", Sunny's manager is constantly coming up with new ideas to use Sunny to make money. He's also hired Sunny a guy who yells "Sunny, you're wanted on stage!" as well as a Yes Man and a Hatchet Man. All of them irritate Sunny greatly, and helped lead to him almost completely retiring from music.
Branches 1-7 are the Northern Athabaskan (areal) grouping. Kwalhioqua-Tlatskanai (#7) has often been considered part of the Pacific Coast grouping, but a recent consideration by Krauss does not find it very similar to these languages.
 
'''Chedderman''' -Charles, also known as Chedderman, is one of Sunny's friends. He specialises in selling cheeses and doing teeth. He's something of a shady character and is often seen selling contraband goods and services out of his car, like "Mr. Bristle" action figures that, are ''really'' used toothbrushes, and bootleg movies which he shoots and in which he plays every part. He's often used as a quick joke in the show to keep up the interest. As seen in the episode "Eddie's Money", he is an excellent helicopter mechanic. He is also known to be part of Sunny's old band, the "Sunny Bridges' Funkaneers"
A different classification by Jeff Leer is the following (Tuttle & Hargus 2004:72-74):
 
'''Bianca Moon''' - A woman who runs an organic food shop that appears in "Home" and again in "The Hunt for Red Blobtober". She's shown to be out of touch with reality, and will accept painted shells and shiny beads as currency if you don't have money when buying merchandise.
# Alaskan <small>(Ahtna, Dena’ina, Deg Hit’an, Koyukon, Kolchan, Lower Tanana, Tanacross, Upper Tanana, Gwich’in, Han)</small>
# Yukon <small>(Tsetsaut, N. Tutchone, S. Tutchone, Tagish, Tahltan, Kaska, Sekani, Dunneza)</small>
# British Columbia <small>(Babine-Witsuwit’en, Dakelh, Chilcotin)</small>
# Eastern <small>(Dene Suline, Slavey, Dogrib)</small>
# Southernly <small>(Tsuut’ina, Apachean, Pacific Coast Athabaskan)</small>
 
'''Kid Sunny''' - Seen only in Flashbacks that when Sunny tells about his days as a first year. These flashbacks have only been seen in
At this time, the details of the Athabaskan family tree should be regarded as tentative.
"Home", which is when his kid self buy at a music store,
"Peanuts! Get yer Peanuts!", where kid Sunny is in Modern Dance, and in "Funky Monkey", where kid Sunny is in a Upper Class play, but
even is still a first year. No one but Sunny knows what happened
in that play. All we know is that Sunny got the lead role "The Tree"
and during the real play he asked "Is that a real ax?" and was answered "Shut up first year! Trees don't talk!".Sunny's younger self has been seen in many other episodes, such as "Love is in the Hair...Net"
 
'''Teen Sunny''' - Teen Sunny is another person only seen in flashbacks.
For detailed lists including languages, dialects, and subdialects, see the respective articles on the 3 major groups (that is, [[Northern Athabaskan]], [[Pacific Coast Athabaskan]], [[Southern Athabaskan]]).
So far Teen Sunny has only been seen in "The Hunt for the Red Blobtrober" He was the lead of a funk band called "Sunny Bridges' Funkaneers".
 
'''Mr. Lawrence''' - Eddie's father and the extremely wealthy head of the Earth division of the Cola Cola company. He was seen once in a flashback in "Eddie's Money", where he buys a Baseball Stadium for Eddie's front yard so Eddie can see a live baseball game. However, when Eddie comments on the stadium being empty and asks his father to fly in some baseball fans, Mr. Lawrence replies "I'm not made of money, unlike the guest house." His motto is "Why go out when you can have whatever you want at home?" He appears again in "Brotha from the Third Rock", when he skeet shoots Philly Phil's rocket from the sky. (This episode also marks the first appearance of Eddie's mother, Mrs. Lawrence, who was curiously absent from her son's birthday party in "Eddie's Money".)
====[[Northern Athabaskan]]====
 
'''Upperclassmen''' - The upperclassmen are students who have been at Westley School longer than the rest of the kids, and tend to act superior, like plays being "Upperclassmen" plays and trays being "Upperclassmen" trays. They're mainly Preston, Marlon, and a big, bully-like friend of Preston's.

* In ''The Devil and Lil'D'', there is a reference to the song ''[[The Devil Went Down to Georgia]]'' when Li'l D tries to win his soul back in a fiddling contest.
A recent reconstruction of proto-Athabaskan consists of 40 consonants (Cook 1981; Krauss & Golla 1981; Krauss & Leer 1981; Cook & Rice 1989), as detailed below:
 
*In the episode ''Eddie's Money'', there is a reference to the [[Death Star]].

*There is a running gag that whenever a character throws something off-screen,someone that sounds like Kam exclaims, "Oww, my eye!!" If a second object is flung off-screen that person even says, "Oww, my other eye!!" But in "Brotha From the Third Rock", when Tamika threw a moon rock, someone with a voice like Madison also said, "Oww, my eye!!"
