To think that the creator of this show also worked on Robots and was also the author of the book that got adapted into Meet The Robinsons. MIND BLOWN. Not to mention that whole plot you mentioned of Pappy having a hard time finding the right parts for his model reminded me that in Robots outmodes as they are called are having a hard time finding replacement parts due to villains’s plot involving using broken down robots to make “upgrades” and it’s no wonder why that is so similar considering the fact that the creator of this show also worked on Robots as you said yourself. So it’s no coincidence that they have those very similar ideas as it seems that he introduced that whole idea involving finding replacement parts and the makers of the movie ran with his idea but took it in a darker direction.

If you're open to suggestions on future lore videos, there are some interesting shows that aired I think only in Canada that I watched as a kid. George Shrinks is an interesting one that I don't remember too much about, aside from the shoe car that can turn into a helicopter. Might add to this when I remember more and/or find a list I made a few years back of all the shows I used to watch, ~55% of which was Canada exclusive due to the CanCon laws.

[@jocelynecupcake]

I'm an American and I'm so jealous you Canadians have all the good tv shows. All we get is crap shows like Loud House and iCarly, but you guys still got stuff like Scaredy Squirrel and Rolie Polie Olie. I'm the type of person who's really into kids cartoons, I'm jealous! You guys also still got the actual kids channels, too! YTV and Treehouse! Us Americans gotta go online or get all these expensive streaming services for actual good kids shows. We used to have two channels like that, one was called "Sprout" and the other was called "Qubo" but they got rid of them. Literally the only good kids shows I saw on American tv lately were My Little Pony, SpongeBob, and Pocoyo. Rolie Polie Olie used to play on Playhouse Disney/Disney Junior for us, but Sprout and Qubo had a lot of shows that came from Canada, UK, and other countries. George Shrinks actually played on PBS kids from what i know, but maybe Qubo could have picked it up later on. Qubo did that with Marvin the Tap-Dancing Horse and Timothy goes to School. Also, I was born a year before you! ^u^ We could have the same childhood favorites, huh?

@@jocelynecupcake We could! The funny thing about that though is that I was often jealous of americans as a kid. When i'd be at my Grandmother's house, I'd go on the PBS Kids website (We didn't have internet ourselves until 2015) and play games. This one time, I discovered there was a videos section so I click on it and discover all my favourite PBS Kids shows were on it, since we did get PBS Kids through Satellite. I was so disappointed to discover that it was region blocked and that I couldn't watch Wild Kratts and Wordgirl while my grandpa was watching the news on the tv. We actually also had BBC Kids available to us through Satellite so I was exposed to plenty of british shows like Art Attack. As far as I remember though, my favourite cartoons were Martha Speaks, Wordgirl, My Little Pony, George Shrinks, Rolie Polie Olie, Wild Kratts, and the classic looney tunes since we had Teletoon Retro and every saturday morning I'd be up early to watch The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show reruns.

I feel like you don’t get enough appreciation for the makeup/face paint! Love the videos and the nostalgia!

[@BinglesP]

25:38 Nice Danny Gonzalez/Drew Gooden reference

[@apersonnamedjune7410]

I'm not sure how many people have already brought this up, but I LOVE the fact that you change your face makeup for these to correspond with the topic you're talking about, it's always a really nice detail

[@IShy2]

That COULDN'T have been the real plot of the episode, how would a kid sell their friend's body

[@funkyrabbitss]

i literally cannot express how happy i am to see this vid in my recommendations!!! i have such good memories of watching the vhs halloween special contantlyyyy to the point my mom hid it from me because she was tired of hearing it over and over. tysm for bringing back a wave of nostalgia!!

[@Rainygirl3100]

I randomly saw this video in my recommendations and I have to say your channel is the most unhinged video essay channels I've seen. Subscribed. I've never seen anybody else talk about this show (one of my favorites as a little and a start to my love of robots) so the fact that you're here piecing together its lore has me incredibly hyped. Thank you for your service

[@thisisavivistanaccount7866]

I literally clicked this so fast bc I was also born in 1998 (tomorrow is my birthday) and I recall this show, but I remember NOTHING. I just remember learning English and repeating the show name and giggling bc it made me laugh as a toddler

[@sirofreak]

HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY!

[@gutsmasterson2488]

Happy early birthday Human!

[@TheFlamingDoh2]

I remember being scared of the Bogie bot in this show bc I interpreted it as a kid as being the ghost of a baby. Also the TV shows this creepy image for the Bogie Bot movie feature of a screaming black and white Olie

[@kuhtreesreads]

I’m so glad I found your KZbin, this series is GOLD.

[@falloutphan7341]

This showed up on my recommended page and I instantly subscribed. Definitely gonna be binge-watching some of your other videos now. I also grew up watching this show, and i remember being obsessed with it in preschool but i remembered NOTHING about it (also fellow 1998 baby whassup)

[@AKA253]

Your passion for lore in these shows is just enforcing my passion for lore in the Dr Pepper Fansville commercials. I wish they would keep to the continuity, even if the show stayed as a set of one-off episodes.

[@normanclatcher]

we seriously need those shorts as a proper dramedy series on primetime.

[@poeticcinema5857]

I could have SWORN I saw this as a kid but it turns out?? There's absolutely no way I could have?? Because I only had a vcr player in my house until like 9 years old

[@perrilewis180]

You have to do Sofia the First. The connections to the disney princess stories make the timeline strange unless Sofia's amulet is not only teleporting the princesses but doing time travel then I assume all the disney princess stories are happening at the same time. But it can't because the three good fairies are definitely younger than they were in sleeping beauty. Like I need someone else to share this madness with.

[@alcerdemon9768]

I was the biggest Rollie Pollie Ollie fan as a kid, I even had a semi fan club in my kinder

[@GGOBLINN]

Thank GOD you pointed out the absolute BANGER MOVES pappy has in the intro. My dad and I used to laugh at him all the time

[@Korrin69]

YES. I USED TO WATCH THIS ON DISNEY JUNIOR ALL THE TIME. I LOVED THIS SHOW.

[@Tiredofdawgz]

Just found this channel and am absolutely in love. Great content!

[@ib_Omegaman]

Got to be honest your videos are as far as I can go back into these shows so thanks 😂

[@maddiekoester7785]

14:44 Sounds like you’ve never seen Who Framed Roger Rabbit before. That Shave and a Haircut scene is infamous!

[@quwinzelca5498]

God this was one of like, the main shows I watched as a kid. So glad to hear someone talk about it after all these years.

[@bluemonster5235]

5:38 NOOOOO it's because after he said robot dinosaur the kids immediately went "ooo!" which he likely found humorous!!!

[@abstractkitten4645]

This is an absolutely banger video! It's especially cool to see because I had almost convinced myself that I made up the entire show because nobody seems to remember it

[@Technilogica2019]

i thought this whole thing was just a weird fever dream and somehow trying to just google it myself felt weirdly illegal. even just watching this felt like i was getting away with something. olie wants my family i know it

[@rowan404]

I love sci-fi and surrealism, so I probably would’ve loved this show, but I was born the same year it stopped airing. Good for you, 90s kids…

[@jocelynecupcake]

It actually was still airing on Disney junior at least 8-9 years ago. I think the show ended around the early 2000s tho

[@rowan404]

@@jocelynecupcake I was still watching Disney Jr a lot back then. However, the main shows that I recall from that era are Sophia the First, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and Miles from Tomorrowland. Maybe it’s a regional thing, sort of like how I missed out on The Big and Small Show because it didn’t air in the U.S.

[@nuclearcatbaby1131]

90s kids are a little old for this show I’m afraid.
