Did anyone here watch Reboot?
|
Yes.
|
I suppose it was innovative at the time.
|
I remember Reboot, back in the Moltar days of Toonami. I have no idea how I'd feel about that show now. My quality control as a kid could be summed up as "animated = good. no exception". I do remember that Tony Jay voiced Megabyte, so at the very least it would give me some voice actor boners.
I remember I used to watch A Pup Named Scooby Doo. I do not have fond memories. |
Reboot and The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest are amongst the beloved gems of my childhood, along more lighthearted fares such as Dexter's Laboratory, Powerpuff Girls (<3<3<3) and Courage.

Was Reboot originally in English? It's Canadian, right? The reason I ask is because I have vivid memories of their lips never matching the words coming out of their mouths, and I always wondered if it was dubbed or something.

Beast Wars was my favourite show when I was younger. I had a shit ton of the action figures, too.
I was a cool kid. |
I actually forced Joe to watch it not too long ago.
He didn't hate it. |
That show made my childhood. Only Beast Wars was angry enough to announce itself three times in its own titles.
|
I know a show which announces itself 5 times in the titles.
|
Beast Wars was the absolute best. I was always mad jealous of the kid who had the Optimal Optimus figure (the one that was an ape that turned into a robot that turned into a tie fighter that turned into a car.) Waspinator and Inferno were cool toyz.
Beast Machines not so much. |

The Inferno and Dinobot toys were always my favourites. |
I have the wasp guy with the annoying voice. He had a little button that made his wing casings spin.
Actually, it's in the chest this computer's sitting on. |
It's not just the wasp guy...it's WAZZZPINATOR! Jeez.

He loves Beast Wars. Especially Asspinator. I never got into Transformers, but I remember reading somewhere that kids who play with Transformers are three times more likely to become drag queens. |
That's just imitation of a nearby role model.

Anyone remember Pig City?
It was pretty decent. |
I remember it existed.
|
I remember Pig City. It was essentially the least shitty of the extraordinarily terrible MANDATORY CANADIAN PROGRAMMING inflicted on us. We did kinda luck out with that and Reboot though. Also, Lexx was shown on a lot of Canadian channels as cheap filler. As a matter of fact there's probably an episode called Cheap Filler that has to do with Lexx's spacebug butthole. I'm thinking too hard. Pig City and What's with Andy came out around the same time and the latter was so fucking terrible but I loved it anyway.
|
What's With Andy is terrible, but I still love it. Sometimes you can't beat nostalgia.

Ever see Gargoyles?
Amazing how the Scottish accent has evolved over the centuries. Baron Praxis gets around, too. |
Gargoyles was the shit. It was on the same level as most of the early 90's superhero-type/FOX kids/WB TV shows.
