A Timmy the Tooth Retrospective

[@kevtooth]

Hey Colin...I like your retrospective. I played Timmy and co-created the show with Dina Fraboni and James Murray. Phil was the show's story editor and he also played Mr. Wisdom. Glad you liked our show!! The series will be streaming on the new Peacock network so now you can watch all the episodes. Jimini Biblets!! Tell all your friends!!!!

[@ColinLooksBack]

Really excited to hear you liked the video! I'm sorry for not crediting you, Dina, and James properly--for some reason, I was convinced Phil was the creator and didn't bother to double-check. Glad to know the series will have a proper home on streaming! I'll be sure to spread the word! And thanks again for the wonderful show!

[@garf6394]

Dang, nice

[@Hallandoatesmeal]

A reboot or the original?! Either way, this is AMAZING news 😭

[@matthewweatherford6566]

Wow!

[@garf6394]

Long Dong Silver That’s what I was thinking too!

[@googamp32]

I literally only know about this show because of the trailer for it that came with the "Land Before Time" sing-a-long VHS I used to have. Thanks for teaching me all about it.

[@Vanilla_Addict]

Omg me too! I never saw it except on that trailer. I remember it sang something like "it's a wonderful day to laugh and play and be with my friends!" I loved the land before time though.

[@SonicXtreme99akaCreeperMario]

I knew about it because of the LMW

[@matthewweatherford6566]

I discovered Fraggle Rock as a preview on a Disney Sing Along tape and Groundling Marsh as a preview in some Barney tapes and The Brave Little Toaster as a preview on Robin Hood.

[@tavvyprods1275]

Me too.

[@buddyzilla4557]

It wasn't the sing along VHS but Land before Time 2 VHS ad that we saw this on. I was just at my parents with my brother and asking if my niece was still too young for the Land Before Time (she loves dinosaurs and is almost two) or if it is too scary still. He said they tried but she just didn't seem interested. My dad said it may be too scary anyway and I suggested the sequals since they got more kid friendly immediately out the door. My dad asked if they were relaly much more soft and I mentioned rhe second one had an ad for Timmy the Tooth before it played as evidence. My dad asked "What the Hell is Timmy the Tooth?! " I wish I had seen this and just played it for him rather than trying to describe it myself. Lol

[@JodieWithanIEOfficial]

I got a VHS of this from the Tooth Fairy one year.... Gotta love having a mom that was in the dental career

[@matthewweatherford6566]

Perfect!

[@crimsondynamo615]

My mom got me Big Mouth Gulch and made me watch it almost religiously. She took her job very seriously of being a dentist.

damn you too

[@matthewweatherford6566]

Which one did you get?

[@tex56]

Back in elementary school, I had this class called “Library” once a week. If the librarian wasn’t there for the day, the substitute would pop this into the VHS player to keep us quiet. The only episode I can remember watching is something about the character Sydney needing glasses cause he only had one eye. Apparently the Rice Crispy elves appeared in the tapes and announced Timmy from what I recall.

[@matthewweatherford6566]

The Rice Krispies elves indeed appeared in the videos. I believe it was the sponsor.

[@matthewweatherford6566]

When I was in elementary school, the library had VHS tapes behind the desk, although we never watched them. It wasn't until I went to the public library that I watched it. Molar Island was the first one I saw.

When i was a kid i was afraid of the crypt keeper from tales from the crypt so when my mom frist pop in the vhs of this show i thought the goon was the crypt keeper so i was scared of him lolol

Is it just me, or does the Cavity Goon look like The Grinch? I mean, he's got that haircut. That face. Whatever it is, it's a little too bear-like for a... Oh. Has he snuck into my diaper? That's gross. Why did I think he was a...Giant Big Hair? Do they get bigger when they become the Age of Yarn Balls?

[@matthewweatherford6566]

Inspired by the Grinch perhaps? Maybe partially? Kevin Carlson who performed Timmy and co created the show typed a comment. You could ask him.

[@erinbrown3744]

I was just telling my best friend he looked like the Grinch’s crackhead uncle.

[@Angel_Billy4-30-23]

I thought that this show was so underground that I was basically the only person who knew about this show/movie especially because when I was younger, whenever I would talk about it, everyone looked at me like "what the hell are you talking about?????" But anyway, thank you so much for sharing this video with us. This video brought back so many memories and holy shit the nostalgia.

5:09 Great, now I'm going to have the "Putt Putt Travels Through Time" theme stuck in my head all day. 🤭 Thanks for making this. I never saw this show, but we had a tape (I think it was Babe?) with a commercial for it, and I've always been curious what the show was actually like. (For example, I did always assume it was an after school special about dental care. Oops!)

I couldn't agree more!This show NEEDS a digital re-release.I owned the Big Mouth Gulch tape as a kid,and the song "It's Storytime Again" has stuck with me ever since then. TYSM for uploading this.

I never once watched this show, but I got a VHS copy of Flipper (1996 film with Paul Hogan and Elijah Wood) which had a pamphlet for Timmy The Tooth videos.

Ah, I miss this show. I had all of the videos and, according to my mom, I watched them so many times the VHSs were getting worn out. It's nice to see I'm not the only person who's seen this show. It's cheese and was made for kids under 7, but it was still a great show.

[@ColinLooksBack]

Oh I hear you. It was strangely addictive. Glad I'm not the only fan here.

[@indigo_villin]

Exactly, and what you said (including the pedestrian bit) was completely accurate. I remember watching the dream sequence in "Lost my brush" and gaining a little anxiety towards the Cavity Goon. Also, the clip with Ms. Sweety trying to jump into Goon's arms, even though I knew what would happen, it made me laugh.

[@2Slick2SlimShadyAmy]

I used to have (almost)all of the tapes.

[@edwardleemiller-eo8jp]

I can’t help but wonder if this was originally created as a Dr. Seuss series but was rejected by the Geisel estate. Timmy’s face looks similar to the Cat in the Hat, while Cavity Goon is clearly inspired by the Grinch.

[@Duvmasta]

I remember seeing the villains on the side of a cereal box in a cupboard in my grandparents kitchen and being scared of it and having my grandma close the door so that I wouldn’t see it. I thought the villains (especially the green one) were scary looking.

So this brought back a memory about a scary dream I would have when I was 8 and now I know where the dream came from, this show, but I thought it was a commercial doe

[@alexanderchippel]

I vaguely remember in preschool being allowed to watch one episode of Timmy the Tooth before nap time and getting to watch a Tom and Jerry tape some kid brought in because the teacher had a nervous breakdown and left the building.

[@maxordman4100]

I always enjoy your wonderful retrospectives. This one is very well written and upbeat! Timmy the Tooth is a wonderful character. He is very sweet and adorable. I was a Barney fan growing up and there’s something still special to me. Barney isn’t for everyone and Timmy isn’t for everyone, but for those of us who they connect to the most, they are always special to us and that’s what truly counts!

[@matthewweatherford6566]

I'm glad there are studios introducing today's preschoolers to old shows and not just rebooting them to be like other generic kids shows. Some classic 90s Nick Jr shows have recently been remastered and added to Paramount+ in case today's parents wanna introduce their kids to Eureeka's Castle or Little Bear or other classics and don't think kids have to stick to their own generation. I'd rather little kids watch Timmy the Tooth than CoComelon or Baby Shark. Heck, I'd rather them watch Barney or Teletubbies (especially the old version) than Baby Shark or CoComelon.
