Premise
The Mighty Ones follows the eponymous quartet, consisting of a twig, a pebble, a leaf, and a strawberry. These unruly friends reside in the backyard as they try to live life to the biggest.
In the first two seasons, the backyard belonged to an all-girl rock band. In the first three episodes of the third season, the band were evicted and a young hipster couple with a baby moved in. This was negated by time travel and it went back to the original status quo.
