Pretty much my experience with Jordan's whole channel! There's so many '90s/2000's cartoons that I thought I had completely forgotten about and have gotten bits and pieces of memories after watching his vids (it's funny how memories work). ^^

[@purpleemerald5299]

@@Scarshadow666 The freaky thing about memories is that when we lose them, they’re not actually erased; we _literally_ lose track of them. The less we think about something, the less neural pathways are made for it, and the weaker its existing pathways become. Yet the memories still remain. That’s why when we witness something we had forgotten about, all our old memories are suddenly accessible again; the pathways to those memories get “jumpstarted” by new thoughts that trigger the same old neurones. Of course it’s WAAAY more complex than that…I’m just trying to describe it the best I can because I think it’s neat.

Fun Fact: in Latin America this was broadcasted in CN. Now knowing that WB Toons was also behind this, makes sense to me now. I liked this show when it was aired, and I 100% agree that the Father was the most fun and entertaining character of the cast. Ig you could say mildly the manager too, but the rest of the characters were forgettable at best. Nice making me recall this show tho!

Now that I know the show broadcasted in US Nick, I believe it fitted better on CN, but it would have fitted even better on Fox Kids that was full of Nelvana shows, probably it would get another season in that channel.

[@apricotluma]

Catscratch actually gave me a terrifying memory as a child. I was watching an episode where they were on a boat on the ocean, and then at one point it suddenly cut to the livin' like Larry episode of Spongebob for no reason, with no explanation. Never cut back to the Catscratch episode. It doesn't sound scary, but when you're a kid and something happens that's completely unexpected with no acknowledgement, it's a bit spooky.

[@brandon_crow1291]

I loved this show growing up. Been a KISS fan all my life and when I was younger I was stoked as hell that Gene was making a show and honestly it was a really fun show. But I will say personally the KISS connection was a huge part of the draw for me and I think a big reason the show didn't do well is frankly most kids didn't know/don't know who KISS or Gene are.

[@ariellelillian8644]

At the time, Gene Simmons had a reality show with his family. It was when reality shows were at the height of popularity & everyone watched them. It actually was genius of him/them, since the market for kids who had to listen to the reality show (can't think of what its called) in the background or at night with their parents could have their own escapism into what that world was like.

One episode that particularly that has stayed in my memory is one where Willy was struggling with the paparazzi following Zilla around. Then at some point Willy finds a room in their mansion where his dad is hiding which he hadn't ever noticed before. Zilla tells him that he purposefully left that room off the blueprints given to the public so that he could have a secret space to hide from the rest of the world.
