Zixx is a science-fiction TV show created by Jeffrey Hirschfield that ran from 2004 to 2009 on YTV (with a brief run on Cartoon Network) and ran for three seasons.An alien named Zixx Phunkee-Zee and her partner Flanngo crash land on Earth while investigating a lead on behalf of The Network. Once there they discover that the planet isn't as insignificant as it seems. For one thing, it's home to an ancient pocket dimension maze known as The Keep, which just so happens to operate a lot like an Earth video game. It's also where the evil Hargokk Empire is planning its return. Led by Deeth, they seek to resurrect the evil alien warlord Oncolon from deep within The Keep and take over the universe.Fortunately for Zixx and Flanngo, they receive help from local human children in investigating the secrets of The Keep and fighting off Deeth and his cronies. Best friends Adam and Griff help the duo in Level One, later being swapped out for Riley, Megan, and Dwayne in Level Two and Level Three.Despite never gaining a huge audience, it's a source of nostalgia for many Canadian kids of that era and is notable for managing to wrap up its main plot threads by the end of its final season. | |

And the Adventure Continues: In the finale Oncalon is defeated and the alien members of the team are headed back home. But Zixx tells the humans that the Network will probably call on them all again after demonstrating how well they work together. The last moments also see Zixx, Tarphex, and Flanngo being sent straight to another world by the Network to deal with some of Oncalon's friends. | |

ColorCodedForYourConvenience | |
| Zixx / int_740f59b4 | comment |
Color-Coded for Your Convenience: The main character's Keep forms manage to be unique models, but in the midst of the action the best way to tell characters apart is the color of their armor. On Level One, Zixx is predominantly lavender and purple, Adam is yellow, and Griff is black with purple highlights. Flanngo is green and blue, but the fact that he's a lizard means it's not as important to note. On Level Two Zixx and Flanngo have the same colors. Newcomers Riley, Megan, and Dwayne are blue, green, and orange respectively. On Level Three, Tarphex is red and white while Amy is pink. Throughout the series, anyone associated with the Hargokks are predominantly red and black. | |

Fake Defector: When Jayda manipulates Riley into stealing the Rod of Lethor and making out Zixx to be the real villain, Riley initially seems to have fully bought into her lies. Only once he actually gets the Rod away from Jayda does he turn on her and reveal he was aware she was trying to manipulate him the whole time. | |
