    The cigarette episode was interesting because it was the one time Ozzy and Drix were completely powerless - no amount of immunity or medical care can kick a habit, Hector had to power through it himself by realising there was something he was standing to lose that he cared more about, that allowed him to override his budding addiction.

      I remember the episode but not completely. These days you can't even tackle a subject like that.
      There's definitely something to be said about shows that try to impart lessons like this rather than shows like now where it's _goofy and random_
      Stuff like that is why it was common to say TV rots the mind way back.. it certainly does now.

    This show got me off of nasal spray. No joke, I was addicted to nasal spray for 5 years. I didn't know taking it every 30min was the reason I couldn't breath through my nose to begin with. I just thought I had some sort of medial problem. I saw the episode on nasal spray, then decided to get off of it. My body was so used to having it, that when I got off of it, I spent over a month of not being able to breath through my nose and several years to be able to get back to normal. But it was worth it. I can now breath through my nose when I sleep. Thank you Ozzy & Drix!

    That one episode where Hector went camping or something then, I don't remember how, but something entered his body from the woods. Ozzy and Drix fought so hard but they could not defeat the thing that came in. Hector was getting sicker and sicker as the episode progressed then when The detective duo was surrounded everyone in Hector got knocked out. They woke up to the disappearance of the threat because Hector was rushed to the hospital for treatment. Before the episode ends Ozzy and Drix remind the viewer that your body can't handle everything and to seek professional help when needed. That is the most I can remember from an episode.

      There's this phenomenon I've noticed where TV shows based on movies tend to return to a premise that's already solved. In the case of Osmosis Jones oh, Frank did get better apparently. I never watched the movie myself because it grossed me out, but that's the impression I get. A TV show based on a movie often seems to return to a sort of status quo to get a clean slate off of. Here they chose to make the movie character disgusting again to have an excuse to leave, when they could have easily just said that he didn't need them anymore.

  • @MelDSnow
    @MelDSnow 4 роки тому +175

    I thought the movie was super fun. Nostalgia glasses on for sure, but even tho Bill Murray played this gross adult, the concept of seeing how medicine and blood cells work in the human body was enough to carry it on.
    I think a reboot for a young adult audience would be great right about now. Rather than a kids cartoon, they could tackle much more adult topics. Similar to how they used nicotine and testosterone, that's just the start of a bunch of real adult problems.
    You could use Osmosis Jones as the protagonist, battling through stuff like nicotine early on, but then maybe a new 18-21 year old character they live in, or just a grown up Henry, starts trying more addicting substances. They could do an episode on mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety.
    Or rather than stick to Henry, they could do something a bit off book, and make Osmosis Jones a traveling PI who goes from human to human helping cure stuff. I know that's unrealistic, and not how blood cells work, but its better than traumatizing this Henry kid with all sorts of disease, illness, and addictions.

    Very underrated show and I would go as far as saying that its quality was on par with the film. Solid voice acting cast. The plotlines also had good messages for younger viewers. However, it was a show that ran at a very bad time. The early 2000s was a unusually competive time for children's programming and the "Spongebob effect" may have caused the stations to have unrealistic expectations of the show, causing an early cancellation.

Hector comes up with this crazy scheme to stand next to the compost heap (oh, they're at the school science fair or something, that's why there's a compost heap) and time the fart with a loud tuba.

    I loved the movie when I was little. (Around four or five.) So I was excited very when Cartoon Network started airing the show (I didn't watch public access TV as a kid and I was two when the movie was released (I first watched it with my step brothers a few years later)). Years later and I still have a fondness for this weird franchise.

    Episodes that I always remembered are where there is a mayoral race going on and the opposing candidate dumps growth hormones into Hector's nervous system to cause him to growth spurt, which caused Ozzy and Drix's apartment building to go from a regular block of flats, into a Skyscraper. The other being where Hector eats so much junk food that his fat cells have to work over time, while another germ/virus collects the fat cells into Hector's heart, and the only way to save the day was for Hector to start exercising to get the fat blockage free.
