ReBoot

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.

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.

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.

Reboot was simply an epic.

The first notorious GCI animated series, deserves nothing more than that. However, Reboot showed a great plot and great characters, not to mention excellent timing for comedic relief from each character throughout each show.

Each season the series developed and evolved into newer and deeper episodes. The third season, really contrasted against the more simplistic approach of the first one.

If you were to watch any episode try one from the beginning, I believe these are the best. It is evident that a lot of time was placed into the story and characters. I mean what a great idea: Inside a computer, with game cubes falling and two viruses, one intellectual and the other chaotic also to cause problems for the citizens of mainframe.

In the end, Reboot didn't gain the success as overly popular titles like the simpsons. Probably because it was aimed to a lower age group, but I think even adults would enjoy this show.

Like I said before, series in the future aiming for this genre will have to compare themselves to Reboot. I mean, Beasties did, and that was great also.... but that's another story all together.

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.
