as someone who works in kids’ TV i have an explanation for characters disappearing without notice!! back in the day, these shows would air daily for years and years. if an actor left after one season, they wouldn’t explain their absence because a young viewer might be watching the previous season the next day and be confused. they were designed to be shuffled interchangeably forever! we see less of this now thanks to streaming. :)

Tbh when it comes to Moe a lot of people mention him being somewhat charming or charismatic and that’s why he’s a popular childhood crush but I dare to say that I think Moe gives off impeccable himbo energy. He can’t hide for shit, but still tries and thinks he’s doing well. When discussing his favorite color orange, as referenced in this video, he can only think of one orange thing and it’s not even the fruit. He’s been seen more often as upbeat and outgoing in otherwise negative or uncomfortable situations, but I think it’s less about rebellion as it is about him just being a dumbass. Less “not like other guys” energy, more “poor little meow meow” vibes, personally.

Im not even joking, I had a nightmare about the doodlebops years after i stopped watching. Rooni tried to kidnap my mom and turn her into a doodlebop. Didi was helping me try to stop him from turning my mom blue. I dont fully remember what Mo was up to, like some moments he was trying to help capture my mom, and other times he was helping us escape... I was forever scarred. I remember the bus song but no memory of the vus or the driver

[@tessatalkstoomuch]

My sister and I were scared of the Doodlebops and one time she had a nightmare where Mo killed me, honestly he still unsettles me lol

This shows feels like something that could come out of the depths of CBBC.

[@pudgesnextturnaround3112]

Yeah, cbbc and citv can be a wild place for kids shows

[@midnightiscool]

Me and half my buddies got to watch The Doodlebops live when we were 7, and honestly they're always gonna be my favourite band because of that

[@catietommo]

ok now i need fresh beat band lore

[@CandaceDreamer]

I loved this show as a kid. Mo and the bus driver were always my favorite characters.

[@monicacoon2983]

Hey Athena, if I were to suggest 2 shows to cover, I recommend The Electric Company (reboot) and Cyberchase, those shows were part of my childhood.

[@squarekirby5437]

Yes I loved those shows!

[@sentientplant9658]

Omg The Electric Company was so good

[@princesparkleface8635]

We talking the original or the reboot? I mainly grew up with the reboot but my mom showed me some of the original.

YEEESSS, CYBERCHASE WAS MY JAM!!!! :3!!!

You unlocked a childhood memory i forgot about! Thank you Athena!

Bus Driver Bob has a food show now! It's called Big Food Bucket List and it's a lot of fun

Athena! I've got to say the editing has been enhancing the comedic timing so well lately.

[@justjames4]

This is one of the few shows I've watched a long time ago that you've done an analysis on that I had completely forgotten, with zero memories of any kind remaining. I searched for the theme song when you told me to and I remember now. Thanks. 👍

[@maxwellgrimsley]

Just got back from seeing the Barbie movie and am filled with nostalgia and existential dread, so of course an Athena upload is perfect to match my mood. 😂💕

[@virtuamima]

Tbh I love the Doodlebops more now as an adult than I did as a kid 😂 I just love their sincere silliness. Also they do have some total bops in their catalog, I love Moe's "I Can Dance" 💃

You know it's a good day when Athena makes another lore video! I remember when I watched The Doodlebops and the intro was fire! Highly recommend this video! *OH YES!*

[@pinkerhero]

you made me laugh so many times throughout, and the behind the makeup documentary looks like an actual treasure, thank you so much for your work athena! i remember really wanted to see them in concert as a child.

I remember the Doodlebops were a big part of my childhood, along with the Wiggles. I even went as Moe for Halloween one year when I was, like, four.

[@midanChaos]

Ahhh the nostalgia, I remember being so obsessed with this as a kid. I even went to the live show I literally still have the things from it to.

[@lilac_reed]

LUCKY I always wanted to go to one of the shows

[@midanChaos]

​@@lilac_reed haha, I will say if I remember it wss good. I almost didn't get to go if it wasn't for my uncle, I don't remember much from it but apparently I tried climbing on stage 😂

[@cottonycloud]

When I was younger, I actually got to see the doodlebops (or at least impersonators) live! They opened for a strawberry shortcake live action show. I don’t remember a lot of it, but the doodlebop songs were stuck in my head for days.

[@rowanash5378]

I just had Doodlebops pop back into my head like last month during a conversation with my GF (Can't recall exactly what we were discussing, but I think it was just old kids shows) and lo & behold, a new Athena Lore video to prove I did not in fact hallucinate this whole show!

OMG I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!! Doodlebops was my LIFE when i was a young kid, and this has brought back so much nostalgia for me it’s kinda insane. I used to me OBSESSED with Moe, and I would even do the hiding thing with my parents all the time which would annoy the SHIT of of them, but I loved this show with all my heart. Thank you for doing this!!!!!
