The Recess Gang is the name given by fans to the group of six Third Street School students that act as the main protagonists of Disney's Recess. The group are all best friends, always hanging around with each other, with its leader being T.J. Detweiler, and unofficial second-in-commands being Ashley Spinelli and Vince LaSalle.
The group originally only contained five people. However, with the arrival of Gus Griswald in the second episode, "The New Kid", it became six. Often, the group will join up with other kids who take part of the gang's plans.
Members:[]
T.J. Detweiler[]
T.J. Detweiler is the protagonist of the series. He is the ringleader of the Recess Gang. T.J. is usually a mischievous young boy, and often enjoys playing pranks on Miss Finster, Principal Prickly, and Randall Weems.
Vince LaSalle[]
Vince's superior athletic abilities compared to those of his friends often made him egoistic. However, deep down, he knows how important his friends are to him. He and Spinelli are considered T.J.'s right hand.
Ashley Spinelli[]
Spinelli is the tomboyish substitute ringleader of the Recess Gang. She is the most aggressive and antagonistic kid in the gang. She watches wrestling and is known as the toughest kid on the playground.
Gretchen Grundler[]
Gretchen is an academically talented and extremely intelligent student. She has a big heart, as seen when she helps tutor her friends and sometimes even those she dislikes such as Randall Weems.
Mikey Blumberg[]
Mikey is the most sensitive and most forgiving in the group. Many think that Mikey is a bully just because of his height, but, as once described by T.J., "He wouldn't hurt a fly".
Gus Griswald[]
Gus is the newest member of the Recess gang. Gus is a good natured, if occasionally naive, boy, as his recent attendance at Third Street made him aware of the school's traditions such as the kindergarten derby.
