| - The X's is een Amerikaanse tekenfilmserie die gaat over een spionnengezin. De serie werd voor het eerst uitgezonden in Amerika in 2005. De familie werkt goed samen, maar af en toe zijn er toch wat problemen. De vijand van de X's is Snafu, met als leider Glowface. De serie bevat in totaal 20 afleveringen van 22 minuten, 1 segment bevat 11 minuten. Slechts 1 aflevering van de 20 is nooit vertoond, maar ligt wel op de uitzendplank.
- The X's work for SUPERIOR. The X's have their daughter named Tuesday, their younger son named Truman and many gadgets at their disposal. An organization called S.N.A.F.U. (Society of Nefarious and Felonious Undertakings) is continually trying to cause trouble for the X's through their plans to take over the world.
- The leader of the team and family patriarch. In the manner of Maxwell Smart on Get Smart, Aaron has a phone in his shoe with an answering machine message that self-destructs. Aaron is not particularly bright about normal lifestyle, but is an above-average secret agent and combatant, and devoted to his family. He sometimes tends to be overbearing (his motto is "Anything worth doing is worth overdoing") and obsessive about procedure. He relies heavily on "The Manual," or secret agent rulebook, and is near-helpless without it. Phyllis X (Wendie Malick) Tuesday X (Lynsey Bartilson)

- The X's work for SUPERIOR. The X's have their daughter named Tuesday, their younger son named Truman and many gadgets at their disposal. An organization called S.N.A.F.U. (Society of Nefarious and Felonious Undertakings) is continually trying to cause trouble for the X's through their plans to take over the world.
- The leader of the team and family patriarch. In the manner of Maxwell Smart on Get Smart, Aaron has a phone in his shoe with an answering machine message that self-destructs. Aaron is not particularly bright about normal lifestyle, but is an above-average secret agent and combatant, and devoted to his family. He sometimes tends to be overbearing (his motto is "Anything worth doing is worth overdoing") and obsessive about procedure. He relies heavily on "The Manual," or secret agent rulebook, and is near-helpless without it. Phyllis X (Wendie Malick) Second in command, Phyllis is fully trained in hand-to-hand combat and martial arts, but is an absolutely horrible cook. She often performs simple tasks (such as killing a cockroach) with extreme measures (she used a death-ray device on the cockroach, destroying most of the kitchen and her daughter's room in the process). Despite a high capacity for violence and mayhem, Phyllis is a devoted wife and mother, and will go out of her way to protect her family. She is known for administering savage beatings to Glowface (sometimes twice). Tuesday X (Lynsey Bartilson) The X's teenage daughter and missions investigator. She is 16 years old. Tuesday is the most normal of the team, despite her rather extreme punk-rock garb and frequently changing hair-color, and is also the most knowledgable of "real-world" behavior, which the other family members either misunderstand or ignore outright. She definitely takes after her mother in savagery and fighting skills, but at heart Tuesday is a genuine teenager who wants to do other things besides spy missions with her family. She easily gets annoyed with Truman and is not good at talking with other girls her age. Currently, Tuesday is involved in an on-again-off-again relationship with Glowface's nephew Brandan. Truman X (Jansen Panettiere) The X's 10-year-old son and technology expert. Truman, like most 10-year-olds, is obnoxious, immature, irresponsible and has a gross sense of humor, but he is also a genius inventor of technological weaponry and gadgetry. Much like Dexter's Laboratory, Truman has a lab in his room and spends most of his time making various weapons, death rays, and explosives, some of which he uses to annoy his older sister. He has never enjoyed his birthdays because the family always ends up having to go on a mission. He also has a dog named Rex X who is seen in Boy's Best Fiend. In the episode "To Err Is Truman" We find Trumans' good side, which he can't keep up after he "borrows" The X Jet and takes it for a spin. Home Base (Stephen Root) Home Base describes itself in the title sequence of The X's as "the house they live in", but Home Base is most likely the name for the computerized brain that runs the functions of their house (neither Mr. X nor Mrs. X appear to be competent about household chores, though Mr. X can mow the grass). Home Base serves as advisor, SUPERIOR contact and mission alert for the X's, and can be contacted from the X-Jet. It also serves as the (somewhat beleaguered) voice of reason in the family.
