Men i remember when this cartoons came out it was the "born" of animated computer characters (early year was Jurassic Park) so for the time was very awesome (the other awesome cartoons was Transformers:Beast wars) so i can't simple believe it that already spend 24 years!!!

This cartoons was a different story for kids because in many ways they introduce the "computer" languaje for the future generations and they make it great Of course the animation was very unique and many years later a lot of new comers say that REBOOT was his inspiration.

Like a say before i glad to be part of the generation of REBOOT and is make me very sad that be never be a cartoon like this in the future.

ReBoot set the bar for cg-animated tv for generations to come, and it's been widely regarded as a classic cultural milestone from the 90s, just like Pokemon or Spongebob went on to be comparable phenomena in the decade. Also, it's Canada's BEST cartoon ever! It's eons ahead of the other animated stuff the country's produced over the last decade, and ReBoot is still great entertainment for kids and adults today. Compare it to something like Total Drama Island: there's no comparison as to which one is better.

ReBoot is great 90s entertainment and came at a time when computers were truly on the rise in the entertainment industry. It's maintained a cult following since its debut in 1994, it's still good even after all the shows which came after it, and I still reckon it's a good childhood memory.

ReBoot takes place in the city of Mainframe, representing the inside of a computer. The characters' speech reflects this with words and expressions like: random (crazy), basic (stupid), deleted or nullified (killed), and there was a time Enzo realized he should've "copied and pasted the truth"! Characters include binomes (citizens shaped like numbers, usually 1s and 0s), sprites (more human-like) and viruses (usually villains).

It features many inside jokes and references from Indiana Jones to Sailor Moon. In one episode, after the disappearance of several people, Fax Modem and Data Nully come to investigate (Fox Mulder and Dana Scully from The X-Files. Gillian Anderson actually voiced the latter). There is also a brief scene of Modem deciding between postcards for Los Angeles and Vancouver, mirroring David Duchovny's involvement in moving X-Files production from Vancouver to L.A. (ReBoot is produced by Vancouver's Mainframe Entertainment). Another local reference was a truck with "Two Small Sprites with Big CPUs" printed on the side. I'm told there is a local Vancouver moving company called "Two Small Men with Big Hearts".

An important part of the show is the games, which appear as cubes dropped from above by "the user". If characters enter these games to play against the user, losing means deletion for them and damage for the city. Genres in the games reflect the wide range of real-life video games and spoof everything from Mad Max to Evil Dead ("Malicious Corpses") to Austin Powers!

I particularly enjoyed the references to "BS'nP" that showed up a few times. This is a facetious acronym for ABC's "Broadcast Standards & Practices". Examples include Enzo firing a rocket launcher only to find it fires an inflatable raft with "BSnP approved" stamped on the side; and the Small Town Binomes (Village People) performing "Living with BSnP" ("It's fun to play in the non-violent way!"). Originally seen on ABC and YTV, it was cancelled by the former after the 2nd season. YTV continued to air the show (still does as of this writing!) and, being free from ABC's BS&P censorship, ReBoot could now deal with more mature themes. This was an improvement in the eyes of many. Following a hiatus, the 3rd season also showed a dramatic change in the graphical quality (more detail, shadows, etc.), due to advances in technology.

Another long hiatus followed the 3rd season but ReBoot came back with two feature-length movies: Daemon Rising and My Two Bobs (or 8 new episodes). The second ended with a cliff-hanger so I'm hopeful we haven't seen the last of ReBoot.

I confess, I am a Reboot junky. I have no clue why I like this show, considering that I'm opposed to the over-used element of CGI in animation today, yet something about Reboot keeps my attention. When I first started watching, I was still in Elementary school and I liked being able to name all the movies the show was doing parodies of. A few years passed and I forgot about it, until the re-runs aired on Cartoon Network. Then, the plot/new episodes became more dramatic and I couldn't stop watching! The characters are likable and the battle between virus and guardians is a great hook. Someone once said, "Reboot is what Tron should have been".

Recently I rediscovered ReBoot while I cleaned my house. It had been my favourite television program when I was younger, and I was eager to watch the tape full of recorded episodes that I had just found.

I discovered, while watching it, that ReBoot is not merely any old children's show.

It's set in a computer system called Mainframe, and the heroes of the show (called Sprites) battles computer viruses, games (sent by "the user") and other things that you would find in a computer.

This is a truly excellent show. It was the first series to be completely computer animated and the most cutting edge technology available at the time was used.

The thing I love about ReBoot is that the entire plot of the series is so original. Clearly the producers let their imaginations run wild, while still using true computer facts within the story. As the fun-loving computer geek that I am, I absolutely loved the computer jargon sprinkled into in each episode. And all the parodies they've done - from the X-Files to Pirates of Penzance - are fantastic and funny.

Although the first and second seasons were restricted by ABC ratings, the third season was definitely darker, and the plots more in-depth.

Reboot has come along way since 1994, and it's a shame that it's all over. I would've loved to see where they picked up after the two telemovies left off.

All in all, ReBoot is a pioneer for computer animation. Absolutely classic TV.

This show is an absolute gem. The characters are all caring "people" with interesting stories and histories. The animation was absolutely cutting edge for this time and although does not hold up today it more than makes up for it with it's content. Here's hoping that one day the cliffhanger gets resolved. This series if brought back still has a lot of life left in it and stories left untold.

This was a brilliant, funny and very cleaver show. I didn't know much about computers when I first seen then, I still loved it, then I got into computers and understood everything they were saying and it was even more funny then.

I really wish they would have carried it on, it is one of the best cartoons I've ever seen, with lots of references to other shows a the above review says, in one episode you see the penguin that is in Wallace and Grommit. Another one is when a game is dropped on them, it has references from, Wacky Races, Jurassic Park, James Bond and I think another film with a tiny little Indian, all in the same game, very funny.

The episode with Fax Modem and Data Nully was brilliant, and its the start of a long and good conspiracy. I'd recommend this cartoon to anyone.

Reboot is one of those must-see shows to appreciate how CG tv animation came to be and to watch how quickly that improved every season. Great writing, clever concepts, and complex characters with both heart warming and heart wrenching arcs for heroes and villains both. The show tone changes heavily from a childish season 1 (with straightforward and good writing) to maturing quickly through the seasons. It's just everything you ever want to see in a series comes full circle.

Season 4's cancellation left something to be desired. However forgivable since the writers were forced from a 12 episode season to an 8 episode season with short notice causing fast paced arcs.

"ReBoot" was a strange little show in many ways. The first ever entirely CGI-Series, it was incredibly ground-breaking at the time for this fact alone. But it wasn't just that which made "ReBoot" so original. The whole premise for the show is very geeky, which is probably why it's initial massive success surprised so many people. You have to figure there is something more this show is offering the viewer, and there definitely is.

Obviously, the show is technically astounding for it's time. It's hard to appreciate just what amazing work the team behind "ReBoot" created with, by today's standards, very primitive tools. People often credit "Toy Story" as the first truly immersive CGI production, but "ReBoot" is the real ground breaker in this field. Apart from that, the characters created on this show are amazing. They have back story, character development, strong personality and have generally been incredibly well realised. Although quite basic in the first two seasons, the writing on "ReBoot" was very well developed by the Third and Fourth Seasons. It's certainly the best written Kids programme I've ever seen.

It's a great shame that "ReBoot" isn't given more credit. It was truly technically groundbreaking, and in addition it was very well written and produced. One can only imagine at the talent and dedication of the team behind this truly charming television programming. The whole show was a risk and was TRULY original. If more programmes on Television (especially animated ones) were as classy, vivid, imaginative, inventive and generally impressive as "ReBoot" than the TV schedules would be a much more inspiring.

I was so overwhelmed by how smart this series was. It quickly became one of my favourite TV-series, because of the multi-dimensional characters and the imaginative world built upon this computer operating system and the internet. Since ReBoot was the first fully computer animated TV-series I think it is genius to make build the world like that.

What I mean by never expecting it to be so awesome was my ambivalent feelings toward CGI, because I despise when hand-drawn movie frachises transition into such. And at times ReBoot does make these unnecessary close-ups on faces which gets tiring. But that's the only thing worth noting.

And MAN I love Tony Jay as Megabyte! He is one of my favorite television voices, and this is his best perforance along with Disney's Frollo. Intense, merciless and tyrannical just as Jay does it best. And Hexadecimal is also delightfully over-the-top evil and will probably scare younger viewers more than once with her masked design.

Some of these storlines are among some of the best TV I have ever seen, and how unpredictable it can be really makes it engaging. These characters are so likable that you care about everything that happens to them. And to underline my point, I once in a while simply forgot they were animated because of those brilliant performances.

We really need ReBoot to be revived properly, because like many TV-series we ended on that cursed cliffhanger. But ReBoot is awesome, just in case you didn't notice ;)

Not only was ReBoot the world's first computer generated television show, but Mainframe Entertainment created one of the greatest cartoons to ever bless my Saturday mornings when it was shown on ABC back in 1994. Since then there a truly fantastic third season was created and is now shown on Cartoon Network (in the Toonami block). I have showed this show to many friends and turned them into fans.

I would also like to say that Beast Wars, while also made by Mainframe, just isn't nearly as funny, clever, well-written, and well-acted. Even their new series', Beast Machines and War Planets, are not as good as ReBoot still is!

I first saw this in the late 90s on Cartoon Network's "Toonami."

While the animation is clearly dated and the cartoon humor typically over the top, this is one of the few action cartoons from my childhood that I can re-watch without rolling my eyes too hard. The story arc still holds up. The location is what drew me in then and what intrigues me still, because in the 90s, computers were very mysterious and just looking at a motherboard still makes me think it looks like some sort of tiny metropolis. The villains still hold up to some extent and the writing can still be compelling. A kids show. Compelling. Yup. The voice actors really made me feel like they breathed life into the characters and not like most action cartoons of the time where it just felt like they were hired to do a job.

For those of you seeking an end to the adventure, a web comic series was released in the mid 2000s that tied up the loose ends of the story and ended on a great note, with everyone getting a happily ever after, though not without being worse for wear.

Reboot is truely unique. Not only was it the first CGI cartoon, it was also one of the first "kids programs" to actualy have proper plots, on going story lines and decent dialogue.

Seasons 1 and 2 were good enough, have strong techical merity and are packed with original ideas.

But Seasons 3+ is where the series really takes off. Clever storys, great action sequences, non-stop parodys and referances...it really is amazing.

Some of the referances are obvious (Stargate, Blues Brothers,Gilbert and Suilvan) but others are subtle (are you being served).

The charecters truely have depth to them, even the 'evil' ones. Particularly Season 4, which probably has one of the most unique nemisis's ever created.

I could go on talking about it all day, but i wont.

Simple watch it if its on!

Especialy if its either of the TV movies that make up season 4.

Deamon Rising (4.1-4.4) My Two bobs (4.5-4.8)

Deamon Rising, v4.1-v4.4 is my personal favorate.

I remember watching this show as a kid and for the longest time wanted to rewatch it. I remember looking for it a few years back and couldn't find it anywhere. I just recently discovered all the episodes were on shout factory's website, I started watching and I just can't stop. What I don't understand is the rating it has here on imdb. Every episode individually has a rating of over 9, yet the show overall has a 7.9. How does a show with every episode rating 9 and above, have an overall rating of under 9? Do yourself a nostalgia fueled favor and go and watch this show from start to finish, you won't regret it.

From 1994 -2001 every Saturday we were transported into the Computer of Mainframe. TWENTY years off the air. You have scanned the input of the other sprites you know how good it is. REBOOT IS TOTALLY RANDOM !! And we were left hanging after my Two Bobs. In conclusion the show was too good to end-file, too good to quit without saving!

The computer animation in this is incredible, and way better than "Beast Wars" in my opinion. Actually, "Beast Wars" is really awful in my opinion. But this is about ReBoot - a great kids show with lots of "in jokes". Especially if you are a computer geek, you will get a lot of the computer references. But ReBoot spoofs everything from "Star Trek", to "The Pirates of Penzance" to "Army of Darkness", making it great for adults, as well as kids. Things really started to pick up speed when Enzo "grew up", everyone on the show got more personality, and the show got a much darker feel. Unfortunately, Mainframe Ent. ended the show in the 3rd season and won't be making anymore (with the way the show ended I don't think they could if they wanted to), so if you want to see anymore from Mainframe you will just have to watch Beast Wars (don't though).

I do not remember this show when it came out in 1994. It would have been about '95 when I started watching it and at the time I would have only been 5 years old. However, I definitely remember when certain episodes were new. Back then nobody at my home knew what Bob or Phong were talking about in the show. Computers were a new thing in the household and we certainly did not have a good one until about 1996 when the show was really becoming popular.

My dad and my uncle were quite fascinated by ReBoot and loved it as much as I did. Even at my very young age I was still able to catch all of the movie and game references because I was brought up watching the things that inspired them. Jurassic Park, Alien, Star Wars, The Road Warrior, you name it I had seen it already by the age of 6. To this day I remember all of the classic episodes and I also recall when the show took a more serious turn with the departure of Bob. Now I am glad to see that Teletoon has finally resurrected the classic series back on TV. I notice even more of the references and catch all of the computer jargon with absolute ease. I could even tell you what midi patches they used to make the musical score. This show was like the Star Trek of my generation and I will always love it.

Once in a while, a really great show will come along. This is one of the them.

The show is about people who live inside computers. The sprites, binomes, and guardians do battle with viruses, code masters, and many other computer associated enemies.

The first season and part of the second had simpler plots, goofy sound effects, corny jokes, and very mild violence. But as the show went on, the show got more complex, the goofy sound effects disappeared, the jokes were funnier, and the action increased. Also, there are many inside jokes on the show that you should look for.

The episodes of the later seasons will keep you on the edge of your seat, waiting to see what will happen next. This is also a unique cartoon because as the show went on, the characters CHANGED.
