      @@jaketucker2559 傻瓜, pronounced "shǎ guā," is a common insult. Literally, it means "silly melon" or "melon head." (Supposedly, this is why the Chinese Harry Potter subtitles translate "mudblood" as "melon.")
      Her and her siblings have melon names. Dongwa is "冬瓜," Winter Melon (a wax gourd), pronounced "dōng guā," and Sheegwa is "西瓜," Western Melon (watermelon), pronounced "xī guā." And according to the book, it's because the oldest was dependable (a wax gourd will keep through winter), the youngest was sweet, and Sagwa herself is a clumsy moron who falls into things, a melonhead. Things like pots of ink, hence her black markings.
      (Most of the others have Chinese names. "Fú-Fú" is a play on a homophone and means "lucky bat," their mother's name is "small wind," their father is "daddy darling," the Magistrate's daughters are "white bean," "green bean" and "yellow bean..." I can't figure out if the reader's name means anything. Chinese isn't even close to my first language.)

It’s so strange how you can remember so many details about something you watch at such a young age and then forget all of it for 20+ years and then once you see it again, all these memories come flooding back that you haven’t thought of since you were a baby😨 This nostalgic feeling is very perplexing and I don’t know how I about it😶

The theme song for Sagwa came on and I burst out in tears. I called my sister bawling, telling her how our childhood was over and this show was something that always brought me joy when days were rough. 😭❤️🥺

    This was literally my favourite TV show I watched it on TVO kids because it was the only free English kids channel (Canada) and we didn't have cable. I always remembered the theme to this song and the words (Hopagno, Sagwa-shawasha hopagno!) I loved the subtle delicate humour of this show and the different cat siblings/parents and their adventures. I wish I could go back and forget being an adult with anxiety and fear and just go back to watching this.

    Fun story:
    When I visited "The Wilderness" or "Wisconsin Dells", I remember seeing a little bit of an episode or two once or twice going thier. This was way after the show ended (probably between 2006 and 2008). I also remember in-between the episode was a real life scene of a girl at a window looking at the moon (I think the moon had a face). Also, it was on something called "Sprouts". I couldn't find it for a while, but the few memories I have still stay with me.

As the name implies, it is about a kid who is a science genius. I tried to watch an episode, but couldn't get through 3 minutes of it. The stupidity in the dialogue was through the ionosphere.
