I've been physically angry at myself for months for forgetting about For Better or for Worse. It's the realest, most heartwarming, and wholesome show/strip I've ever seen in my life.
I'm glad you reminded me of the show when you forgot about it on Twitter. I just had to give it a mention, and I didn't even know it was Canadian until I looked into it!
If there was a Canadian retro channel (kind of like how Teletoon had Teletoon Retro for a while there) I would probably actually get a TV provider JUST for that channel alone
Aw Canadian cartoons , the stuff that made a good chunck of my childhood , shows like Class of the titants , Total Drama , Totally Spies ,6teen were stuff i grew up w with and remember quite fondly.😄👌
@@emjaylongjohn5088 oh please. did you watch the show? the ambiguity was a huge plot point and made the semi-romance storyline super compelling. especially for young queer kids like myself. she passed as a cute, slightly dorky man during the day and was a kickass crime fighter lady in leather at night. very daring for a show of that era!
You talked about Ruby Gloom and Big Comfy Couch, those alone made the video great! But over all thanks for sharing your memories with us, love the vid!
We had several Canadian shows here in the UK like “Grojband”, “Jimmy Two Shoes”, “Sidekick”, “Atomic Betty”, “George of The Jungle” And some U.K. co-productions Like “The Hoobs” And “ToddWorld”
I'm an American, and yet Big Comfy Couch was one of my favorite shows as a kid. Also being American, we sadly never got Ruby Gloom, but even as an adult, it's still a good show (and the fact that the Japanese dub has Rie Kugimiya totally doesn't make me biased >_>)
Never thought I would hear anyone mention APTN. I'm a Mi'kmaq person so I had to watch it a few times growing up and it's just... Weird to hear it... Be mentioned... I don't know how to end this comment.
I just discovered your video. Born, raised and still living in Ontario and you brought back a lot of memories for me. I was 10 when Teletoon first aired. Channel 45, a countdown Timer to when it would officialy start broadcasting. I watched lots of Teletoon, YTV and TVO. I loved The Raccoons, ReBoot, For Better or Worse, Ned’s Newt and Cybersix. I remember watching Teletoon’s late night shows as a kid with those creepy animations before hand.. they really were creepy as all hell… so we’re a lot of the cartoons from the National Film Board program on TVO (at least they were creepy and a bit scary to me at the time ). The Zone on YTV was my after school jam with Sugar and Carlos and then just Carlos. Always remembered Sugar for her unique voice. They were both cool.
Good stuff, dude! 7:51 - The theme of land/environment before profits/privatisation is a very traditional way of life for our Indigenous Peoples. APTN likely appreciated The Raccoons for reinforcing such an ideology to young viewers while still being very entertaining.
Big Comfy Couch was one of my favourite shows when I was younger, I even had my own Molly doll. This video helped me remember it and I even showed it to the little girl I'm babysitting. Passing on some good stuff :)
i love this because it seems like whenever people talk about stuff that they're nostalgic about on the internet, it's usually a lot of american stuff i can't relate to.
Speaking as an American, it’s really cool to see different cartoons that people grew up with in different countries. It’s almost like stepping into a parallel universe
I get the feeling, I go to Mexico on vacation when I was young due to me being born from Mexican parents, and they broadcast really good animated content in México that gain more popularity there than in the United States, it also applies the Latin American feeds of USA channels, and they don’t suffocate too much repetition, it’s pretty balanced. A lot of it is mostly American made shows that have been dubbed in Latin America Spanish, but Canadian made content that have also been dubbed there as well got it’s fair share treatment.
Stick around, the Raccoons was actually air in the USA too. my cousin and I always love watching the Raccoons growing up. it was on our own state channel call PBS (kids). and stick around was on Nickelodeon.
Fun Fact: I actually did some work at the studio where they made reboot. They make alot of barbie stuff currently but also I can't say much of what they actually make 😂
I grew up with for better or for worse. The part I loved is that the characters aged at the same pace I did. It's a real trip seeing the comic and being able to attach where I was in life at that time.
I've been on a Canadian kids tv nostalgia trip the past few days, and this showed up in my recommended. Thanks for sharing these awesome and underrated shows with your subscribers!
Honestly it was so much fun memorizing your favourite channels to check for shows. Then when it was late at night and your parents weren’t around you perused the 300’s and made sure 25 or 47 was on before that😂
Great video! I watched ALL these shows as a kid - from as far back as 1997/6 to 2006ish? Such great memories. I love seeing people highlight all these great Canadian programs - they need more love!
My Aussie husband grew up watching Stickin' Around! I was pretty excited when I found out, haha. I watched The Raccoons as a kid and liked it quite a bit! I agree that theme song is pretty boss.
Watching this video was a beautiful trip down memory lane, these shows helped me out during my families toughest spots. For me teletoon was on channel 50!
kinda disapointed that most of these shows were before my time. Cant wait to see you talk about being Ian, thats got to be my favorite Canadian show of all time
canadian TV is...a mixed bag. there are a LOT of really good shows but the good seem to be much fewer than the bad and that's why we get a bad rap. the good one's,however are REALLY good and worth checking out.
Honestly, any show from any country can come off as, or is bad, it's really because of Johnny Test is giving the bad rap here. And while I'm not saying Canadian cartoons are the best (in my opinion, any good cartoon from anywhere is awesome), or were never bad (which is definitely not true) I'm saying it's an unfair bias that really needs to be looked over.
My favorite Canadian cartoon ever is definitely The Raccoons. I also love Cyril's voice and his character. But I loved the rest of the other characters too but especially I loved the music. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I just remembered some shows you didn’t tease... “Monster by Mistake”, “Flying Rhino Jr. High”, and “Jacob Two-Two”. Canadian cartoon shows were weird but also interesting. And there’s something about them that makes them identifiable as Canadian but I’m not sure what. Maybe it’s the premise, or maybe it’s just the art styles.
Only in this specific comment section we're walking on an edge of reality, diving straight into the Mandela effect and back, confirming false memories and exploring some of the most obscure pieces of media you'll never hear about. You're entering The -Twilight- Zone.
Great video, it's nice to see more people talking about Canadian stuff that isn't... the opposite of good. Also I often get Cyber Six confused with CyberSpace. I suppose while everyone in the comments are bringing up stuff they watched, I wanna ask y'all if you ever heard of a show called Harry and his Bucket Full of Dinosaurs. I'm embarrassed to admit it, but that show was really good, and I'd like some form of confirmation that I'm not one of the only ones that enjoyed it.
This video really brought me back! Idk if you ever watched a show called Fly Tales, Codename Kids Next Door, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Mystery Hunters, or Tales from the Crypt keeper? All favorites of mine. Growing up in Toronto was the best.
STICKING AROUND WAS MY FAVOURITE, no one else knows about it other than me... seems to be a fever dream i loved Jacob Two Two, Being Ian, Atomic Betty & Three Delivery
I loved Stickin Around growing up, and when i went to school for animation a couple years back, my character design teacher was actually one of the animators for it. He said he hated working on it cause the director was such a stickler (pun intended) for perfection. He'd draw a frame, and be told it was too clean, only to redraw it and be told it was too messy.
Finding this video sure brought back memories. Helped me remember that weird as hell wild wild circus company that freaked me out as a kid. Here's some shows you may remember. Monster by mistake and What about mimi. Did you ever play the sitekick thing on the ytv website?
I’m from uk and remember sticking round . My brother loved the raccoon and so did i when I caught reruns on boomerang. I vaguely remember cyber six but not much.
I remember a lot of these shows. Mostly the ones from YTV and Teletoon because those were the ones I watched all the time. I was too old for Treehouse by the time I got cable so I never watched it. But, man, do I remember Stickin' Around and other great shows you mentioned and showed in here.
This is a very interesting video I personally found Canadian animation to be very hit or miss Mainly because a lot of them can come across as bare bones, interchangeable, basic, and lacking in charm That said I do have a lot of favorites that proves Canadian animation can definitely stand out or have endless potential Kevin spencer is an adult cartoon that is told like a childrens bedtime story except it’s about a fucked up kid it’s really hilarious Stickin around is the prime example of chaotic creativity as it took the idea of childrens drawings and let the imagination run wild Total drama is a really good satire of reality tv (at least in its first three seasons) Little bear has that nice atmosphere and bedtime story feel Clone high I don’t think it needs any introduction Undergrads is a really good animated series that focuses the life of 4 friends in college Everyone in the show is boss here including nitz (the adult Doug funnie) Being Ian took the idea of filmmaking and played around with its premise Peep and the big wide world is another banger as this show feels like a newgrounds cartoon for children plus it took the idea of exploring the world and played around with it quite well Captain Star is a really clever written animated space adventure Arthur well let’s just say it’s pbs’s answer to the Simpsons Pelswick is another banger and much like as told by ginger it also tackles some adult topics 6teen grew on me it’s pretty much mtv’s downtown with Johnny bravo humor and it worked (you could even say 6teen paved the way for total drama for better or for worse) Johnny test while not one of my favorites anymore I still found some enjoyment There are more but these are a couple of Canadian cartoons that appealed to me I also can acknowledge the greatness of reboot since it played around with the premise of the world inside the computer quite well But I need to give it a watch to experience it
When I be at my babysitters early in the morning before school, raccoons would come on and even though I wasn’t crazy about it I would watch it still always thought the pink aardvarks were so weird
I had been searching for the name of The Bittles for five years on and off, as it’s a show I have very distinct memories from, you have made me cry in joy good sir, many thinks.
This explains where all the cartoons we had on sky tv in the UK but nobody remembered what they were; as they faded into obscurity. When Cartoon Network started on sky tv in the UK (so its premier) it didn't have any original cartoons and showed existing shows and hannah barberra cartoons. The existing shows it started with were: The Moomins, The Racoons, the Adventures of Binky Bill and Tabiyooga the Dragon. But I always loved the Racoons when it came on tv, imo it was the best show next to the Moomins. I don't know why but it had that perfect balance of heroism and cool music for the time ^^
Some canadian cartoons did make it to my country and even got full dutch translation, Carl2 was really good and i'm not sure if What's With Andy was from Canada, but that show was freaking hilarious😆
I loved this. Brought back memories. I remember actually watching The Racoons in the late 90's on either the local CTV or Global channel, sometime before or after Inspector Gadget played I think. Good times.
I grew up living a Canadian childhood in the USA since back then my family could not afford cable/dish TV we had an old attenna and an old fashion tv and I would watch qubo,pbs kids, and on Saturday morning Warner Bros kids.
Darn I feel old. I grew up with PJ Phil. Before satellite, I believe YTV was 30 and Teletoon was 47. City TV was 32 and CBC was 7. Also remember some of those Sticking Around catch phrases.
Wow lots of nostalgia :) I remember the bits between Tree House (Completely forgot about it though) and Big Comfy Couch. YTV bits between shows too. Honestly if there's one thing I always felt Canadian TV did better than American TV It was the segments between shows. TVO kids I remember also nailed it. Sticking Around is incredible. I don't remember it as well as other shows but no doubt it was a huge part of my childhood. Aww Ruby Gloom is adorable. It's a bit after my time. I think I saw commercials for it but I didn't have cable anymore. But it's a shame I haven't heard much else about it before now because it sounds incredible. Oh for better or for worse. I don't have a ton of experience with it either but i didn't realise it was Canadian.
There is a great 'lost' show called The Secret Railroad I remember from when I was a kid. Now that was bizarre and fantastic. A poor kid comes home from school and his parents are out working, so he goes down into the tenement basement to play behind the furnace - and the goes on adventures to another world using a secret railroad. Unfortunately, nobody kept any copies, so there are only a few rare clips from home taper VHS surviving.
I've been physically angry at myself for months for forgetting about For Better or for Worse. It's the realest, most heartwarming, and wholesome show/strip I've ever seen in my life.
I'm glad you reminded me of the show when you forgot about it on Twitter. I just had to give it a mention, and I didn't even know it was Canadian until I looked into it!
Your video was also cool. So many shows I wanna watch now
i love your videos! i just beat startropics so i appreciate your opening too lol
It’s been at least a decade since I’ve thought of that show, insane.
Oh gawd I completely forgot about this. Loved the theme song.
Children's TV was trippy AF in Canada. And I just took it all for granted.
Yep and you didn’t just imagine Cush the puppet librarian

Sinnie i was very upset when they discontinued teletoon retro :(
They have Retro Rerun on youtube, you can watch canadaian cartoons there.
I'm a year late, but check out the UA-cam channel "dangerousVHS" they keep an archive of Canadian shows on YTV :)
I wrote a letter to teletoon when I was a kid telling them to bring back teletoon retro... lol how innocent I was
Aw Canadian cartoons , the stuff that made a good chunck of my childhood , shows like Class of the titants , Total Drama , Totally Spies ,6teen were stuff i grew up w with and remember quite fondly.😄👌
I thought I was the only one that remembered Cyber Six. I thought it was a fever-dream.

I think that was the station I sometimes flipped to if there was nothing else on. Think I saw the Raven Tales there a few times, weird CGI
Cree here, grew up in thompson MB (yikes!), I remember my uncle always had it on when I'd visit family in cross lake
When stickn around moved to like 6am I still used to try to catch it. It was SUCH a good show.

This unlocked memories I forgot I had, brought back good memories with ppl who aren’t here anymore, I feel like a happy kid again
this hits EXACTLY the period of time when I binge-watched YTV as a kid. Stickin' Around was a fuckin' classic
I am from Nunavut, and growing up t.v was my best friend. Channel 34 was ytv and channel 21 was teletoons. Good times.
Wow!
I'm not Canadian but The Raccoons was one of my favourite tv shows growing up. That theme song sometimes gets stuck in my head. It's so good. ^^
Ugh. Bro these shows bring me back 😭💅🏼💖 we truly are blessed up here with these fever dream ass gems.
Holyyyy mackerel, thanks for this blast from the past~
I've uhh never heard of that raccoon show though.
Please don't deport me, Carlos.
We imported quite a few of those here in Germany around the mid-2000s. I've been searching for "The Boy" for years. Thank you.
Stick around, the Raccoons was actually air in the USA too. my cousin and I always love watching the Raccoons growing up. it was on our own state channel call PBS (kids). and stick around was on Nickelodeon.
I’m not Canadian but boy do I love Canadian cartoons😂I used to watch episodes randomly on UA-cam when I was younger.
Dude, this was so nostalgic I think I actually got younger. Teletoon, YTV, The Zone And Treehouse were my life.
Backyardigans was the bomb when I was 5! 🤣🤣🤣
Sidekick was Awesome! I catched every episode of it on CBBC here in the U.K. in September 2014 (4 years after the show debuted in Canada)
Fun Fact: I actually did some work at the studio where they made reboot. They make alot of barbie stuff currently but also I can't say much of what they actually make 😂
Most recently they did that ReBoot: The Guardian Code series for Netflix. It was not very good.
I grew up with for better or for worse. The part I loved is that the characters aged at the same pace I did. It's a real trip seeing the comic and being able to attach where I was in life at that time.

Two words that describe the best time in my childhood: Teletoon Retro
NOTHING is better than the Racoons.
The way you describe theses shows makes me think that Canadian TV is better than American TV Darn I wish I grew up with these shows
Canadian tv is underrated. Only the shit stuff seems to make it outside of Canada.
Agreed. American animation is total shit now. There's only like, 6 good shows left.

so much nostalgia, brings a tear to my eye.

For better or for worst was the only show to this date that did something no other shpw does, the characters aged with the years like we do.

This is a very interesting video
I personally found Canadian animation to be very hit or miss
Mainly because a lot of them can come across as bare bones, interchangeable, basic, and lacking in charm
That said I do have a lot of favorites that proves Canadian animation can definitely stand out or have endless potential
Kevin spencer is an adult cartoon that is told like a childrens bedtime story except it’s about a fucked up kid it’s really hilarious
Stickin around is the prime example of chaotic creativity as it took the idea of childrens drawings and let the imagination run wild
Total drama is a really good satire of reality tv (at least in its first three seasons)
Little bear has that nice atmosphere and bedtime story feel
Clone high I don’t think it needs any introduction
Undergrads is a really good animated series that focuses the life of 4 friends in college
Everyone in the show is boss here including nitz (the adult Doug funnie)
Being Ian took the idea of filmmaking and played around with its premise
Peep and the big wide world is another banger as this show feels like a newgrounds cartoon for children plus it took the idea of exploring the world and played around with it quite well
Captain Star is a really clever written animated space adventure
Arthur well let’s just say it’s pbs’s answer to the Simpsons
Pelswick is another banger and much like as told by ginger it also tackles some adult topics
6teen grew on me it’s pretty much mtv’s downtown with Johnny bravo humor and it worked (you could even say 6teen paved the way for total drama for better or for worse)
Johnny test while not one of my favorites anymore I still found some enjoyment
There are more but these are a couple of Canadian cartoons that appealed to me
I also can acknowledge the greatness of reboot since it played around with the premise of the world inside the computer quite well
But I need to give it a watch to experience it
When I be at my babysitters early in the morning before school, raccoons would come on and even though I wasn’t crazy about it I would watch it still always thought the pink aardvarks were so weird

I'm not even Canadian and nobody mentioned the grossologist show. I did see a snip of thhe opening at the beginning of your video. Def underated.
Some canadian cartoons did make it to my country and even got full dutch translation, Carl2 was really good and i'm not sure if What's With Andy was from Canada, but that show was freaking hilarious😆
It was!
@@TheCartoonGamer8000 That's awesome😁😉
I met Carlos at Stampede last year, he’s so freaking nice!
18:00 whoa! Thank you for that mention of the actors who played a couple twice for different characters that was really educational!
~ Roarr!
I remember Cybersix, when I was young staying up late at night and it was awesome, For Better or For Worse was good as well!
When I saw ruby gloom I immediately started singing the theme song
I loved this. Brought back memories. I remember actually watching The Racoons in the late 90's on either the local CTV or Global channel, sometime before or after Inspector Gadget played I think. Good times.
weirdproq1 I remember Inspector Gadget, Care Bears and Flying Rhino Junior High airing on Global back in the day.
@@TheCartoonGamer8000 oh my goodness. I also remember watching those! Btw, Beastly was always my favorite character on Care Bears.
Omfg
The Big Comfy fuckin Couch.
What was thought to have been forgotten has been returned to me.
Thank you for enlightening me brother.
I have great memories of cyber six, people need to know this show
I love Ruby Gloom. It’s a show that takes place in perpetual Halloween!
One does not simply forget about Cybersix after watching it.
When I was a kid I would get up at 6 am just to watch it.
Hey I’m a Canadian raised on these cartoons. 6teen and total drama were my favourite these animated show were important to my development.
I grew up living a Canadian childhood in the USA since back then my family could not afford cable/dish TV we had an old attenna and an old fashion tv and I would watch qubo,pbs kids, and on Saturday morning Warner Bros kids.
Darn I feel old. I grew up with PJ Phil. Before satellite, I believe YTV was 30 and Teletoon was 47. City TV was 32 and CBC was 7.
Also remember some of those Sticking Around catch phrases.
I only had four channels growing up: CTV, CBC, Global TV, and a French channel. The Raccoons also aired on CBC.
This video got me interested in Cybersix. Never watched it as a child but I bet I would've loved it back then
Wow lots of nostalgia :)
I remember the bits between Tree House (Completely forgot about it though) and Big Comfy Couch. YTV bits between shows too. Honestly if there's one thing I always felt Canadian TV did better than American TV It was the segments between shows. TVO kids I remember also nailed it.
Sticking Around is incredible. I don't remember it as well as other shows but no doubt it was a huge part of my childhood.
Aww Ruby Gloom is adorable. It's a bit after my time. I think I saw commercials for it but I didn't have cable anymore. But it's a shame I haven't heard much else about it before now because it sounds incredible.
Oh for better or for worse. I don't have a ton of experience with it either but i didn't realise it was Canadian.
Man this stuff takes me back. I honestly had forgotten about most of these things. But I have such fond memories of all these shows.
There is a great 'lost' show called The Secret Railroad I remember from when I was a kid. Now that was bizarre and fantastic. A poor kid comes home from school and his parents are out working, so he goes down into the tenement basement to play behind the furnace - and the goes on adventures to another world using a secret railroad. Unfortunately, nobody kept any copies, so there are only a few rare clips from home taper VHS surviving.
