Bailey (formerly James[1]) is Muffy's butler and chauffeur. He is very good at art and built many sculptures for Muffy's art show.[2] He does everything he's told, even doing a wheelie with the limo[3]. He has worked for the Crosswire family for ten years and has a room in their mansion.[4]

Personality

Bailey often gives advice to Muffy when she needs it. He admitted that he actually enjoys doing his job, despite it involving a lot of hard work for him. He also admits that it is never dull for him.[5] In his years at elementary school he was picked on, one of the bullies being a kid (now adult) named Chester.[6] He also calls Muffy "Miss Muffy".

Trivia

  • Bailey was first seen in the episode "Arthur Goes to Camp."
  • For his first appearance he was called James,[7] but his name changed to Bailey in the episode "Poor Muffy."
    • However, in "The Butler Did...What?", Mr. Ratburn makes a point that 'Bailey' could be his last name.
    • This refers to the show's director, Greg Bailey.
  • His room has a picture from high school, where it is revealed that he went to high school with Mr. Ratburn. They were in the high school band together in 1979-1980.[8]
  • He may be a parody of Jeeves from the Bertie and Jeeves series by P.G. Wodehouse.
  • He is miscolored in certain episodes, notably "Muffy's New Best Friend" and "The Play's the Thing".
