I'm currently rewatching the show all the way up to the movie. I feel like the reason the movie bombed was because it wasn't on the same level of popularity or exposure as Recess or Rugrats
@@tooncentralanimation I checked; they only had one movie trailer just like The Powerpuff Girls Movie, which was one of the main reasons why that movie also flopped.
When you mentioned that Gary also made the art for Cranium I had an “I KNEW IT” moment. His art really has an interesting way of sticking out! As for Teacher’s Pet, I remember watching it but don’t remember anything from it besides the concept. Another show to revisit in the future, for sure!
The thing I remember most about Teacher's Pet is just how sharp and witty the writing was, especially for an early-2000 Disney cartoon. Despite the silly concept, it had a certain air of sophistication about it that most cartoons at the time lacked. And it was super funny at the same time. Probably the biggest turnoff for me were the character designs. They're honestly just so bizarre and unpleasant to look at, but now that I know the artist behind them had a history in fine art, I can see the designs from a fresh new perspective. I get it now.
I loved this series and Baseman’s art style. It’s really memorable and I loved the voices. The movie was an awesome musical and I liked that it put a perfect finale to the series. My favorite character was Leonard’s mom and Mr. Jolly.
That's it! That's where I know it from!! That, and I remember, VERY briefly, some kind of short/trailer from the series that played before a movie I watched in the cinemas when I was really young. I have no clue what movie it was, but I remember the trailer felt really... Odd... Somehow. Maybe I'm remembering it incorrectly, but I think it was set in some kind of swamp/forest?? It was dark, and a bit unsettling. And that's really all I remember from it. I thought the board game was the original somehow. Edit: watched a few more seconds of the video and now I remember that the dog turned into a real person/the kid turned into a dog.
One of my favorite unique Disney cartoons growing up when it aired on Disney's One Saturday Morning and Toon Disney, also I agree aside from the voice cast and the music, the designs done by Gary Baseman were another unique aspect to the show and it's 2004 film and why whenever I see the Cranium character designs I immediately recognize them as the one's seen in Teacher's Pet. Hope you get to do a video on The Buzz on Maggie, Randy Cunningham and Penn Zero whenever you get the chance.
I remember discovering the show on a preview of its movies on one of my old DVDs (as I was born in 2003, three years after the show aired) and my sister said it was pretty good. I started watching some of the episodes and I got to say the show is pretty decent. One of the videos he should do should also be Squirrel Boy.
@@rorysainsbury6816 I feel like most people remember the show because of their ads on other shows. I remember this show due to Disney's old magazine Disney Adventures.
Teacher's Pet was my absolute FAVORITE Disney show when I was growing up!!!! I was in preschool when it aired, so a fantastical story of an intelligent dog going to school sparked a love of learning. My mom took me to the theaters twice to see the movie and even had a coworker tape it (when it played on Disney Channel) so I could continue to watch it. I loved learning as a kid, and Scott Leadready II was a huge motivator. The music, the art, the real emotion. They don't make kids shows like this anymore!
I’m always amazed how you can consistently find these shows that were buried deep in my memory. I remember watching this show on Saturday mornings. Totally would have forgot about it until your video. Thanks!
Yep, I remember Teacher's Pet. I remember the voice of the mom is the actress who played Eric Redman's mom, "Kitty" in That 70s Show. I loved the show a kid :)
You're definitely one of the best youtubers I've had the pleasure of stumbling upon. Everything from your editing, commentary, and the content you cover. No one does these older/lesser known shows justice as well as you do.
This show was such a distant memory for me. Just rewatched it, along with the movie, a little over a year ago on Disney+, and you know what, it’s still pretty entertaining.
I watched the movie countless times as a kid to the point I can recite it. I believe I found it at a garage sale! I’ve only seen the show once after the movie though so I don’t remember it unfortunately
This show IS a core memory for me, even if I only watched it a short time. But I remember watching it while in the first grade and that's some of the earliest memories I have.
I think this show would've profited from a more 'Ed, Edd, n Eddy' approach. As a Frasier fan, I love how subtly sophisticated Kelsey Grammer can get and he makes great shows (Girlfriends, Half&Half) but cartoons at this time thrived off of being a little odd, a little weird. The art of this show gives you that impression and then clashes a bit with the more tame approach.
My sister and I loved this show, it would air during lunch time after school, so we would rush home and turn on the tiny tv in the kitchen to watch while eating. This is the kind of show that although I still love it, might not really need a reboot, it simply worked as is.
Teacher's Pet was a fun show to watch on TV but it's sort of a pain to binge. I love Nathan Lane, but Scott's pretentious monologues get old after a while. Plus, I don't think this is the sole reason it bombed, but I feel like the movie would've sold more tickets if they advertised that it was the finale. I remember being a kid when it came out, I skipped it. Then when it came out on DVD, we rented it, and when it ended I remembered thinking, "... Wait... Did that movie just end the show?!"
Besides classical music, this show also used a lot of production music that would also be used in Ren & Stimpy, SpongeBob, Camp Lazlo, My Gym Partner’s A Monkey, among many others.
Teacher's Pet the movie was my favourite movie for about a year or so, when ever I went to sleep over at my grandparent's (which was about every month) that's the movie I rented, sometimes I'd even watch it 2 times in one night. I didn't even know for a long while that there was a show about it. Thanks for making this video, brought back lots of memories!
I'm glad you covered this cartoon! I didn't have cable growing up. So I relied a lot on the ABC Disney blocks for Disney cartoons. So I was sad when it left there to go to Toon Disney. When the movie came out to DVD my brother and I rented it from Blockbuster every month. We loved the show and movie.
I remember seeing the trailer for the movie on some DVDs back when I was a kid. I really wanted to see it, but never got it. I finally got to see the movie only about a year ago with Disney +. I found the songs enjoyable, if a little odd considering this was Teacher's Pet, which had no songs. But they seemed somewhat self-aware. My biggest problem was that the plot really gets going near the end of the second act, I guess. And how the movie ends was really weird. The third act has the rising action, the climax, a weird revival-from-death scene, and then it ends. No falling action, just credits which showed the family coming back from the trip.
Hmm. I agree with most of what you said, but go back and watch the show, there were a toooooon of songs. They just weren't stereotypical disney songs. A lot of them had kind of educational slants to them. Off the top of my head, the Photosynthesis and Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally songs.
Teacher's pet was one of my favorite childhood movies as I used to watch it as a child as I would watch this movie on loop so many times as I could remember. I still have the physical copy of it and would love to watch it again
I remember seeing this on a commercial or something just never watched any episodes of it. That is how unique the art of this show is that even though I barely saw anything of it I can say I remember it.
Yeah, I remember watching this a bit, while the idea of a something trying to blend in an be act like a normal person has been done before I felt this one did it good. I like the art style and the humor as well as the characters. I remember the episode where a park was either going to be a dog park or a skate park and Scott/ Spot was torn being which one, he wanted because of his identities in the end, theres a compromise and the park becomes both. while the show is not near the top od Disney cartoon it still is good I also have heard of the movie, but I am unsure if I have seen it or not, I may have probably seen parts of it but I’m pretty sure I haven’t seen the whole thing
I'm really glad I found this channel, not only you discuss cartoons but you also discuss some underrated shows that not a lot of people talk about, so thank you 💕 I do have one show I want you to cover (special thanks to twitter for unlocking that forgotten memory lol), it's a disney XD show called The 7D It stars the 7 dwarves from Snow White, It's a show that has the dwarves saving the kingdom, doing wacky shenanigans and going on adventures It only lasted for 2 seasons before disney essentially cancelled it and completely forgetting about it, (they didn't even put it on disney+ 🙃) which is such a shame because the show had potential..
I absolutely love Teachers Pet! The voice cast and stories were hilarious and entertaining! I was entering HS when the show came out but could relate with Scott of feeling like an outsider despite having overwhelming enthusiasm! Also I wanna mention that the illustrator behind Teacher's Pet also contributed to may commercials and designs for Nickelodeon in the late 80s and early 90s! I enjoy his unique, almost surreal art!
Yay!! I'm happy you're covering this. XD I loved this show growing up but it always felt forgotten. Eventually revisited thinking must have just been one of those things I liked as a kid that really doesn't hold up but honestly I still really love it. Honestly I'm happy with the series as is. I'd just like to see more people talk about it because I think this series deserves more love than it got. Really does amaze me though that it got a theatrical movie like Recess, Hey Arnold, and Rugrats did.... all much bigger titles and I'm not sure any of them were considered a success? I'd really like to ask Disney why. But I'm happy it happened because I love the movie.
I LOVED this show. Even dragged my Dad to the theater to see the movie when it came out. Very excited to see it talked about here; brought back fun memories 💕
I remember seeing the movie as a kid and being obsessed with the songs. But I could not remember the major plot of the movie for my life. I would rewatch it just for a good time.
Man I remember watching the movie all the time. Didn't even know it was a show, just thought it was some really weird movie and I loved it. Glad you got to reviewing this show/ movie!
I remember watching the movie in elementary school (during library they sometimes let us watch movies like Brave Little Toaster & James and the Giant Peach)
I was the only kid I knew that was dedicated to Teacher's Pet, probably because I recognized Nathan Lee Kitty from That 70s show. I watched it before school when it came on Toon Disney, I remember watching the movie when came out on DVD _that year_ , and I remember that Christy Carlson Romano song for the movie! This. Was. My. Show.
I never really watched this show as a little kid, but the thing I'm going to remember most is Gary Baseman's distinctive art style that I also saw in all the Cranium games.
I wasn’t born when this show came out and ended, and was one when the movie released. But I watched this movie a lot through my childhood and absolutely loved it. Didn’t know there was a show. Actually rewatched the movie on Disney plus and it was just as great as I remembered. I like the show as well
Your channel is such a nostalgia trip for me. It's like a time capsule lol. I'm so glad I found your channel and I look forward to future videos. Keep up the good work!
I literally remember this show a lot as well as the movie when it came out I have a color newspaper clipping of Spot in her alter ego just standing over a statue saying “Boy” to this day Tho I can’t remember where it is
I love this show my friends introduced the series to me back in 2020 and like it ever since. It's a special and interesting series for me It's good to see it being talked about today
As a kid, also not having a computer at the time and not too much knowledge on artists yet I was always remember thinking to myself “why is this style so similar?” And always being like “why do it look like the art on that game Cranium?” Never played cranium btw just recognized it bc of the art. Never figured out why and kinda just forgot about it all, and now I’m satisfied knowing it was the same person behind it all.
Man, when that movie came out in the theaters opening day, I remember it was me, my mom and my sister only in the theater. No one else. Kind of a shame cause I don’t think the movie is that bad.
Even though they said that Disney released all the episodes of Teacher's Pet on their streaming service, I know that there are still a few episodes missing that I vaguely remember from my childhood. Like that episode where that new girl moved to town and started picking on Leonard and Scott calling them "Teacher's Son" and "Teacher's Pet", or the episode where Scott had to decide what kind of park should be built for the town. A skatepark for the kids or a dogpark for his fellow dogs. That was the episode where I first heard the term "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally". I didn't even know what it meant back then when I first saw the episode, and didn't hear it again until I had 8th grade Algebra.
I kind of feel bad for the makers of Stewy the Dog Boy. They were really set to make a full Nickelodeon series, but then they had to get it scrapped to avoid any unfavorable comparison to Teacher's Pet. The pilot episode alone of the Kablam short also kind of implies that the cartoon would've done a few things differently from Teacher's Pet. Things like how none of Stewy's owners knew about his double life, but Leonard discovered Spot's secert identity from just the pilot episode. There was also no dog-hating principal or an owner being a teacher of the same school in Stewy the Dog Boy. I wonder what that alternative universe would've look like had we got both cartoons about a dog who disgused himself as a student airing in the early 2000s around the same time.
Great episode Jordan! Used to love this show and saw it in theaters. It's still a fun time and I forgot that they put it on Disney Plus! Thanks for the nostalgia love :)
i just remembered this movie out of the blue while staring at my dog... so random but the movie was one of my favorites when I was a kid along with Home on the Range.
My parents knew a few things regarding keeping ‘childhood me’ content… Teachers Pet was one of those things. Portable DVD player and this movie handy was pivotal.
For the life of me, i don't remember this show.. since it's from 2000s i think because i used to watch other channels a lot, i completely missed the mark on this gem. Will try to watch this now.
No idea this jumped around to so many channels. I saw the full two seasons as a kid and enjoyed it. Though I suppose when I was growing up, we only had one channel for Disney shows (I live in Australia.) At least on free to air tv. So all Disney shows that were shown to a general audience were usually only ever purchased by one channel at a time and therefore all Disney shows I watched as a kid was really only ever on one channel. And even then the channel itself wasn’t owned by Disney specifically.
Weirdly I remember seeing the movie in theaters, but I truly remember nothing about it or the series. I think there was a music video for the theme song sung by the Kim possible voice actress that accompanied it??
Was I the only one who was creeped out as a kid by the art style of the characters on the cranium box? Low-key feel like you'd see them in the back rooms or something. I vaguely remember watching this movie on those free preview HBO channels we'd get in it summer. We have dish network so they like to do that.
I used to love this show, I always thought Billy Crystal voiced the dog lol would you consider doing an episode about Lloyd in Space next? It's criminally missing from Disney Plus :(
I vividly remember watching the pilot for teachers pet but I can’t remember too much else. I think I also saw the episode where he has to make up a fake family. I rented the movie the summer that it came out on dvd and it was alright for what it was. I agree with people who say that the movie bombed because it wasn’t as popular of a show, but I think it’s also because the movie came out almost 2 years after the show had finished its run. If a show gets a movie, it usually needs to come out at the height of its popularity to perform well enough at the box office.
I remember that flash game, you jumped up to catch food. If you accidentally caught a grape you got stuck trying to spit it out since their poison to dogs. Game ran on a timer, so each one you caught caused to to waste time instead of score.
I didn’t have any Disney channels at the time so back then I was only aware of the film it upon learning of the cartoon I thought the movie spawned the show much like my boy Jimmy Neutron and now seeing the cast I’m might have to check all of it out on my upcoming vacation
Thanks so much for watching! Have you seen Teacher’s Pet? What do you think about it?
I don't really remember much of it.
I vaguely remember the show, but I didn't like the film as much.
I knew about the movie and I'm pretty sure there was a Disney channel live action remake of that movie in the 2000's but not the show.
I was obsessed with this show as a kid, I love it and the movie.
Never seen it but I remember the dog appearing on commercials vaguely.
I'm currently rewatching the show all the way up to the movie. I feel like the reason the movie bombed was because it wasn't on the same level of popularity or exposure as Recess or Rugrats
What about the advertisement of the film.
@@tooncentralanimation
I checked; they only had one movie trailer just like The Powerpuff Girls Movie, which was one of the main reasons why that movie also flopped.
@@AJ-xc4qe ah
Yeah I always felt this was a really weird show to get a movie. If I remember right it was never overly popular.
I saw it in theaters as a small child and I was terrified the entire time. 🤣
When you mentioned that Gary also made the art for Cranium I had an “I KNEW IT” moment. His art really has an interesting way of sticking out!
As for Teacher’s Pet, I remember watching it but don’t remember anything from it besides the concept. Another show to revisit in the future, for sure!
I once knew a kid in class who was absolutely terrified of this dude's artstyle. Like to the point he would actually scream and run out of the class.
Probably something linked to coulrophobia? the art-style does look vaguely clown like
The thing I remember most about Teacher's Pet is just how sharp and witty the writing was, especially for an early-2000 Disney cartoon. Despite the silly concept, it had a certain air of sophistication about it that most cartoons at the time lacked. And it was super funny at the same time.

I remember owning a Cranium board game with all these characters. And I haven’t seen that many episodes of this show.
THAT'S WHY THE DOG SEEMS SO FAMILIAR EVEN THOUGH I'VE NEVER SEEN THE SHOW. THANK YOU
Omg me tooooo!!!!!!
THAT’S WHY THE ART STYLE IS SO FAMILIAR
That's it! That's where I know it from!!

This is like the Phineas and Ferb of the early 2000’s
Me and my mother watched the movie on repeat for like 4 months when I was in middle school. It has alot of space in my heart
honestly with an artstyle like this i would expect a darker tone like invader zim
No wonder this was so great the VAs are stacked with talent
I ADORED this show growing up! It deserves this sort of recognition!

I'm really glad I found this channel, not only you discuss cartoons but you also discuss some underrated shows that not a lot of people talk about, so thank you 💕
I do have one show I want you to cover (special thanks to twitter for unlocking that forgotten memory lol), it's a disney XD show called The 7D
It stars the 7 dwarves from Snow White, It's a show that has the dwarves saving the kingdom, doing wacky shenanigans and going on adventures
It only lasted for 2 seasons before disney essentially cancelled it and completely forgetting about it, (they didn't even put it on disney+ 🙃) which is such a shame because the show had potential..
I'd also love a 7D review!
I remembered watching this show. I think it's a good show. Thanks for covering history on this.
I absolutely love Teachers Pet! The voice cast and stories were hilarious and entertaining! I was entering HS when the show came out but could relate with Scott of feeling like an outsider despite having overwhelming enthusiasm!

I remember this show very fondly! I remember seeing the movie on TV and the creator came on during commercial breaks and taught me how to draw eyes
I met Wallace Shawn at Tampa Bay Comic Con, and I told him I love Teacher’s Pet. He was so happy I remember that show
Yay!! I'm happy you're covering this. XD
I loved this show growing up but it always felt forgotten.
Eventually revisited thinking must have just been one of those things I liked as a kid that really doesn't hold up but honestly I still really love it.
Honestly I'm happy with the series as is. I'd just like to see more people talk about it because I think this series deserves more love than it got.
Really does amaze me though that it got a theatrical movie like Recess, Hey Arnold, and Rugrats did.... all much bigger titles and I'm not sure any of them were considered a success? I'd really like to ask Disney why. But I'm happy it happened because I love the movie.

Oh my God, I've had this show stuck in my head and could never remember what it was called. I love this show! Thank you for making this video!
i've binge watched this show so many times
i love every second of it
I loved the art style of this cartoon; it was so unique.
Man I remember watching the movie all the time. Didn't even know it was a show, just thought it was some really weird movie and I loved it. Glad you got to reviewing this show/ movie!
I remember watching the movie in elementary school (during library they sometimes let us watch movies like Brave Little Toaster & James and the Giant Peach)

I was the only kid I knew that was dedicated to Teacher's Pet, probably because I recognized Nathan Lee Kitty from That 70s show. I watched it before school when it came on Toon Disney, I remember watching the movie when came out on DVD _that year_ , and I remember that Christy Carlson Romano song for the movie! This. Was. My.

This show was written so good, one of my favorite shows to watch before going to school.
I have no idea how a show of this humor, tone, and visual style was ever a Disney property. I loved the movie so much
My mom and I will still sometimes say "IIIIIIIIII wannabea BOYYYYYYY!" at each other
I never really watched this show as a little kid, but the thing I'm going to remember most is Gary Baseman's distinctive art style that I also saw in all the Cranium games.
This was one of my favorite movies. I love the entire cast and the art style is absolute perfection.
The art style is honestly iconic af

Childhood memory there. Is to watch this as a kid. When it came out on Disney Plus, best friend and I watched it. All-in-one go plus the movie.
Your channel is such a nostalgia trip for me. It's like a time capsule lol. I'm so glad I found your channel and I look forward to future videos. Keep up the good work!
Yes, I do. Staring Nathan Lane and Debra Jo Rupp from That 70s Show. I remember liking it at the time for what it was.
I ADORED the movie as a kid. I still have the 50 states song memorized. Not sure if I'd rewatch it though (not sober at least lmao)
This is definitely one of those shows I appreciated more as an adult than I did as a kid.
I remember this show and loving the art style. It sort of reminded me of the cartoon on the boxes of airborne powder lol
I literally remember this show a lot as well as the movie when it came out
I have a color newspaper clipping of Spot in her alter ego just standing over a statue saying “Boy” to this day
Tho I can’t remember where it is
I love this show my friends introduced the series to me back in 2020 and like it ever since. It's a special and interesting series for me It's good to see it being talked about today
As a kid, also not having a computer at the time and not too much knowledge on artists yet I was always remember thinking to myself “why is this style so similar?” And always being like “why do it look like the art on that game Cranium?” Never played cranium btw just recognized it bc of the art. Never figured out why and kinda just forgot about it all, and now I’m satisfied knowing it was the same person behind it all.
Man, when that movie came out in the theaters opening day, I remember it was me, my mom and my sister only in the theater. No one else. Kind of a shame cause I don’t think the movie is that bad.
Even though they said that Disney released all the episodes of Teacher's Pet on their streaming service, I know that there are still a few episodes missing that I vaguely remember from my childhood. Like that episode where that new girl moved to town and started picking on Leonard and Scott calling them "Teacher's Son" and "Teacher's Pet", or the episode where Scott had to decide what kind of park should be built for the town. A skatepark for the kids or a dogpark for his fellow dogs.
That was the episode where I first heard the term "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally". I didn't even know what it meant back then when I first saw the episode, and didn't hear it again until I had 8th grade Algebra.
I kind of feel bad for the makers of Stewy the Dog Boy. They were really set to make a full Nickelodeon series, but then they had to get it scrapped to avoid any unfavorable comparison to Teacher's Pet. The pilot episode alone of the Kablam short also kind of implies that the cartoon would've done a few things differently from Teacher's Pet. Things like how none of Stewy's owners knew about his double life, but Leonard discovered Spot's secert identity from just the pilot episode. There was also no dog-hating principal or an owner being a teacher of the same school in Stewy the Dog Boy. I wonder what that alternative universe would've look like had we got both cartoons about a dog who disgused himself as a student airing in the early 2000s around the same time.
Great episode Jordan! Used to love this show and saw it in theaters. It's still a fun time and I forgot that they put it on Disney Plus! Thanks for the nostalgia love :)
i just remembered this movie out of the blue while staring at my dog... so random but the movie was one of my favorites when I was a kid along with Home on the Range.
My parents knew a few things regarding keeping ‘childhood me’ content… Teachers Pet was one of those things. Portable DVD player and this movie handy was pivotal.
The show is really unique I liked it , also has really awesome voice cast along with art style that’s has 30s -esh cartoon style.
OMG I remember watching the movie when I was a little kid, and there are times I still remember some scenes and songs from it till this very day.
i really forgotten about this cartoon for almost 2 decades until today.
This was one of my fave childhood show. Very wholesome.
I vividly remember watching it on repeat and being fascinated by the animation
The movie is very much a core memory to me. Never watched the show before it but rented it all the time. Also randomly remember the States song
The main thing I remember about this show was that it was co-created by the dude that made Cranium, I fucking love Cranium, such a great board game.
I had the movie on VHS as a kid, a real hidden gem
For the life of me, i don't remember this show.. since it's from 2000s i think because i used to watch other channels a lot, i completely missed the mark on this gem. Will try to watch this now.
No idea this jumped around to so many channels. I saw the full two seasons as a kid and enjoyed it. Though I suppose when I was growing up, we only had one channel for Disney shows (I live in Australia.) At least on free to air tv. So all Disney shows that were shown to a general audience were usually only ever purchased by one channel at a time and therefore all Disney shows I watched as a kid was really only ever on one channel. And even then the channel itself wasn’t owned by Disney specifically.
Wait, Baseman worked on Cranium?
Huh that explains why this show looked so familiar.
Weirdly I remember seeing the movie in theaters, but I truly remember nothing about it or the series. I think there was a music video for the theme song sung by the Kim possible voice actress that accompanied it??
I watched a lot of this, and did play Cranium with my family. I didn't realize the artist of the characters made the whole game, that's pretty neat.
I never even knew this was a TV show, I just remember watching the movie on the disney channel once and then never seeing it aired again
I used to watch this while waiting for the bus to school and this video unlocked that memory for me
This was one of my favorite shows growing up 🥹🫶🏻
Was I the only one who was creeped out as a kid by the art style of the characters on the cranium box? Low-key feel like you'd see them in the back rooms or something. I vaguely remember watching this movie on those free preview HBO channels we'd get in it summer. We have dish network so they like to do that.
I’ve never seen this show, but I remember my elementary school having board games with this same art style. I never got to play them 🥲
Yeah I never got to play those games enither I wanted to too if only cause the artstyle got my attention 😅
I used to love this show, I always thought Billy Crystal voiced the dog lol would you consider doing an episode about Lloyd in Space next? It's criminally missing from Disney Plus :(
I actually covered it already 😄
Funny, I used to think Timon was voiced by Billy Crystal as a kid.
@@JordanFringe94 Whoops.. finding and watching now lol! Thanks for the awesome content Jordan!
This was the most one of a kind TV cartoon of my generation. And I'm kind of mad at the younger me as he couldn't appreciate it
Love this show and movie! Great job!
No wonder the style looked so familiar
I would love to recommend 2 shows for this series, those being Martian mystery and Spider Riders!
I remember watching this. One of my favorites
Yooo I actually do barely remember this. You just unlocked a childhood memory for me.
I vividly remember watching the pilot for teachers pet but I can’t remember too much else. I think I also saw the episode where he has to make up a fake family. I rented the movie the summer that it came out on dvd and it was alright for what it was. I agree with people who say that the movie bombed because it wasn’t as popular of a show, but I think it’s also because the movie came out almost 2 years after the show had finished its run. If a show gets a movie, it usually needs to come out at the height of its popularity to perform well enough at the box office.
This UA-cam channel makes me want to subscribe to Disney + and paramount and relive all my childhood shows … thanks for the awesome channel
I remember that flash game, you jumped up to catch food. If you accidentally caught a grape you got stuck trying to spit it out since their poison to dogs. Game ran on a timer, so each one you caught caused to to waste time instead of score.
I remember the show, but not its Swedish title. Never knew this was its English title.
Had started to think I had only imagined the show.
I didn’t have any Disney channels at the time so back then I was only aware of the film it upon learning of the cartoon I thought the movie spawned the show much like my boy Jimmy Neutron and now seeing the cast I’m might have to check all of it out on my upcoming vacation
