- The Buzz on Maggie was this cool little show about a Fly who lives in a milk carton at a junkyard. Well, there's a lot more to it than just that, but The Buzz on Maggie seemed to come and go so fast for its time on Disney, so today, let's take a look at what The Buzz on Maggie was all about and what happened to it!

Thanks so much for watching! Did you ever get a chance to check out The Buzz on Maggie? Let me know your thoughts!
Oh yeah. That was a good show. 🪰🎸🎼🎶🎵
It's generic in retrospect but it's theme song is a BOP.
Do a video on Boy Meets World
This as well as Dave the barbarian where my Favorites.
I beyond miss this style of show, I’m glad we have a few newish style shows that follow this such as “the ghost and Molly McGee” but idk, the 2000’s just hit different. Most modern shows don’t have the “soul” or maybe it’s that we the viewer are desensitized and lack the ability to enjoy.
Idk
(Commenting before I finish the vid) This was one of those shows that wind Disney initially announced that this will be premiering I thought it was going to be stupid. And I ended up being very wrong, And it became a sleeper hit for me.
What episode I specifically remember is, This day they encountered a rare endangered bug and we’re trying to find a girlfriend for him… Anyways right vid man as always
I love how your channel just digs up memories of old shows from the deepest depths of my mind
SAME.
Same here!!!
This show, along with Brandy & Mr. Whiskers and Dave the Barbarian, were some of the most underrated shows from that era of Disney Channel. They all had a special charm about them that sadly wasn't enough to get them more attention.
Brandy & Mr. Whiskers was underrated? I can see that for Dave the Barbarian, but Brandy & Mr. Whiskers felt quite popular, ran in the channel a lot and had a good run in length, they felt pretty well liked.
It was definitely the more popular of the trio, but I always felt it was underrated compared to other shows on the network at the time
I remember Sunday nights and my sleep schedule would be off from staying up all weekend and when Brandy and Mr Whiskers came on you knew it was 3:30am and its no point of going to sleep😂 then Buzz on Maggie at 4:00am after that Dave the barbarian at 5:00am then finally playhouse Disney at 6:00 then go to school dead. 😂
I LOVED BRANDY & Mr. Whiskers!
yoooo, this and Dave the Barbarian were the BEST back in the day
Was one of my favorite Disney channel shows, good to see some people remember the good ole days
Stop it 😢
Back when Disney Channel had actual cartoons and none of this crappy tween com crap
Also, 69th like!
Some facts.
@@lordanubis1458well yup should give the new animated shows a try. Like Ducktales, Star vs the forces of evil Amphibia and The owl house are such good shows they are becoming some of my all time favorites. It really brings fills in the nostalgia of 2D animations.
Yes. One of my favorite Disney cartoons, actually. I was disappointed when it was canceled after just a single season, but in hindsight, it probably wasn't that great. Like CatDog, I think it's remembered fondly by those who do so because of its killer theme song more so than for the content of the show itself.
Ironic you say that considering that both shows are also known to be...pretty nasty putting it lightly. I love both of them, don't get me wrong, but I know where people are coming from when they don't like it.
It was a forgettable show. I don’t remember any funny characters
Your content is spectacular, I love how you dig up shows that have been long forgotten, and bring them back for us to say, Wait...Remember? Your one of the most underrated RUclipsrs I've watched, and I would love it if you Did a video on my favorite cartoon Big City Greens!!
Truly thank you for the kind words and support! Will cover that sometime next year!
I remember watching the premiere on my birthday. This show stuck with me for a good time, and I wish more had been done with the IP, but I'm just glad it existed to begin with. Definitely worth all the Buzz.
YESSSSSSSS
This show is one of my most nostalgic series that I find immensely overhated
In some ways it feels like the sort of show that's specifically tailored to my interests
A pink-haired anthro tomboy in a world that makes a lot of clever references and jokes to entomology topics and has a big emphasis on music? Uh, YES PLEASE!!!
Immediately clicked, I commented about this show last year because it randomly jumped into my mind. I thought Maggie was sooooo cool! I played all the little online platforming games on Disney's website based on the show lmao. I will never forget the Buzz On Maggie, I wanted to be a musician growing up, her guitar was so awesome! I was a lil rebel so she spoke to my soul, and her siblings where so funny too. Thanks for this!
Yes! I loved this show and it always bothered me that nearly everyone forgot about it. It never gets talked about like Courage the Cowardly dog or Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends.
Thankfully, we've got Jordan Fringe to give these shows the attention they deserve!
Love to see you cover these for your Wait... Remember series!
*Swat Kats The Radical Squadron
*The Cramp Twins
*The 7D
*Transformers Animated
*2 Stupid Dogs
*WordGirl
*Pucca
Two Stupid Dogs, you say.
But you don't give my boy Secret Squirrel any love
I was about to turn 13 when this show came to sweden, and thought i was getting too old to like cartoons. I watched it in secret when no one was home, and really liked the way this show looked! You really dug up an old memory for me, as I havent revisited the show as an adult :D
I understand
I also used to watch cartoons in secret till I found a small friend group in high school that shared the same interests
We're still friends to this day
Haha Danish dude here same story as both of you.
The one thing I remember about this show was it's theme song. Just The Way I Am was a banger.
This, along with Foster's, MLP, and Mucha Lucha, are my go-to examples to show that flash can work if you go for a certain style, specifically one based on thick lines and simple 2-D shapes. Complex, realistic designs are less effective, since their movement is more suitable for hand-drawn than vectors.
This cartoon feels like a fever dream..I forgot it even existed but the moment I read it's name I found myself singing the theme song
8:31 No. Rigged animation has gotten much better over the years. The Ghost and Molly McGee looks phenomenal. The Cuphead Show looks awesome. The Snoopy Show also looks super good. It's the Best Peanuts has ever looked animated. Bob's Burgers has really good animation. The movements are very realistic.
Dave Polsky also created the 2017 series Hanazuki Full Of Treasures, which also starred Jessica DiCicco, but is tonally different from this show. Like this show though, that show was also unfairly cancelled.
I used to love this show when it aired, really weird seems that it was almost 20 years ago, time sure flies. *Da-bum-tss*
The episode where her brother tried to figure out what he's good at is golden
I actually rather liked this show. It wasn't among my favorites, but the character designs were nice and I found Maggie and the supporting cast pretty likeable.
This show's artstyle is amazing i LOVE IT
also keep up the amazing content coming my dude :D
I swear each one of your videos unlocks a core memory I'd sealed away 😂
I'll say the fact you brought up "self centered but likeable character" really reminded me of another disney character that is really fun and probably one of my favorite disney characters ever, and that's darkwing duck
In theory you could use Adobe Animate (formerly adobe flash) to animate in the traditional sense. You would just have to draw every frame one at a time. (Also I think it might be vector-based which means it has a bit more of a learning curve if I remember correctly. It's one of my least used Adobe products). All that being said it's faster to use tools like tweening and such to get motion done faster. Those techniques don't look awful, and there's definitely still skill involved, but you can definitely tell if something was tweened instead of moved frame by frame.
I used to really love this show when it was on air, I think about it often actually because it’s one of the shows that influences my art!
I still find it really charming and enjoying to watch honestly, I kind of wish it could have stayed around a little longer ;;
Yes I remember Maggie thanks for bringing this show to the light!
Thanks for watching!
It's weird how this show apparently didn't do well in Australia cos as an Australian myself, I do remember enjoying this show as a wee-lil-neb. Hell, I remember one time when I broke my arm for the first time i wanted a torn magazine to be sticky taped cos i wanted a double page spread for this show to be used as a poster (which never did end up happening).
But as it is with these things, you remember the actual show but not the name, which I guess I do remember now thanks to this video-
This show is super nostalgic for me. The biggest crime is that you can't find the song from the opening on Spotify
One of my favorite shows. Thanks again Jordan. My memories are coming and staying alive since I start watching your channel!
Yes this American dragon jake long & life with Derek along with suite life of zack & Cody is childhood. I was born in 95 I’m only 27 so this hits hard
Jorge Gutierrez is one of my favorite animators. I loved his work on this show, as well as El Tigre and The Book of Life. You can really see his style and heritage shine through. :)
I'm waiting for the day Jordan talks about this one cartoon that I've watched when I was little. I couldn't remember the title at all, but I do remember it was like a spy thriller cartoon. The lead was a Chinese man, his sidekicks were a burly redhead man and a woman. The main bad guy was some sort of a Chinese mafia leader.
8:27 You are right! It was a spicy take for animation from that era! So the director's comments around Flash come because of the time flash (now Animate) was mostly a web tool. Designed for animations on the web, and there was like a stigma on the quality of those. Many amateur animators used it on that time, and ended up with thing that maybe professional animator would scoff at. They considered a limited tool full of cheap animation relying too much on "tweens", and losing many of the expressions that hand animation would give more easily and faster on the other hand.
And yeah, you "could argue" that... but its no different than attacking something like "reboot" for looking terrible, I mean , it was a new tool with little experience to account for, it was going to look a bit wonky, you can see it a lot on those old puppet-rigged animation shows like this or Mucha Lucha. You can compenstat with good character design and good storytelling though.
The problem was that it was not a common tool to use in professional TV animation. People would rather use Toon Boom Studio (the hand drawn one, not the digital rigged that ended up making as one tool later), or something like TV paint (still very much used), using hand draw frame-by-frame animation. At that time only digital painting and digital cleaning of paper drawings.
So yeah, the director was defending the use of the tool on a professional capacity in a world where it was not well received and had poor image among professional (even now there are some comments deriding animation saying "it look like a flash animation", it point to this very issue). Certainly "Mucha Lucha" was a trailblazer of sorts for this techniques, and the director was right though, the tool is as good as you learn how to use it, and he was proven right eventually.
This as you may have guessed has changed a lot. Newer shows like Ducktales 2020 or Molly McGee or Cuphead look very good, knowing much better techniques for puppet animation, and actually use a hybrid of rigged + frame by frame animation. The question tends to be the proportion of each technique (for example Cuphead and Molly McGee are very puppet + some hand drawn here and there, to support whereas Ducktales 2020 is the actual opposite, lots of frame by frame with some help with puppet-style in some shots).
I suppose it still doesn't full 24 frame by frame animation made from experts (i..e. james baxter animations in Adventure time or Bobs burgers, or every single smooth animation instance in The Owl house, which are amazing to look at)... but that its why its reserved for those beautiful shots (or full animated 2D movies)
And there are still shows that prefer frame by frame animation, but the will do all digitally, I don't believe that may be many people that still do paper animation, but I know of some do this for the quality of the line and the pencils, but tend to do it on very short segments for very special moments of a show.
But yeah a lot of knowledge and expertise has been attained and imparted since those old flash web animation days. That's why you can see the different and refinement in modern shows
Love the content. I just remembered a cartoon, "Skunk Fu" by watching your content. I having thought about these shows in years.
I was still pretty young when this show came out. Estimate around 6-7 years. I did not have a lot of similar social situations as Maggie cause I was still young. I only remember liking the little brother a lot because he was were all the visual and psychical humor came from.
You Know Jordan This Show Needs to Have a Reboot the Same as Juniper Lee I Really Want Those Cartoons That you Reviewed to Have a Reboot Some People Wants This Show to Come Back
8:28 Animator here! At the time yes, but in a broad sense, not really. Contrary to popular belief, Flash (now Adobe Animate) is perfectly capable of traditional frame-by-frame animation. That was how I started, and some of the most influential Japanese animators of the last 15 years like Shingo Yamashita used Flash.
Now what he’s most likely referring to is rigged or puppet animation, which is what many think of when they think of “Flash” animation( ie when body parts are rigged to bones and tweened around). That would’ve been more of a hot take at the time because of how new the idea was, so there were some growing pains. However today, really good rigged animation is almost indistinguishable from traditional frame-by-frame animation. A lot of the modern Looney Tunes shorts are rigged, and you would never notice.
Most animators today wouldn’t bat an eye to that take now, but I think a little of the stigma is still there to the general public. Especially if it isn’t done particularly well like when the ‘03 Teen Titans were rigged in the TT vs TTGo movie.
I think the show stuck around just long enough and stayed for as long as it needed too, it's a great show and was one of my favorites growing up. But much like Jordan said the show didn't have much else to offer, every episode was a lesson episode and while it didn't feel dry or stale to me personally there is only so much you can do with it. Personally if we ever get anything out of the show ever again I would prefer comics or a one last hit Movie with a plot of Maggie maybe wining a contest to play with a big rock group only to find her parents refuse to let her go as it's much too far and in the big city where someone of her age shouldn't be alone. Ropes Aldrin into taking her with her youngest brother tagging along secretly or she straight up runs away and learns on her own that she really doesn't understand how the world works just yet.
Of course she'd end up making it to the show along with everyone else who was worried about her and then maybe a ending scene that shows here the characters end up in life. I really hate it when shows just end and don't show us where the characters end up, like I want to know if they made their big dream come true or if they had to make a whole different dream happen! But yeah, I loved the show and I think it was a neat and interesting thing for the time when it aired.
Gonna post this here as this community is more likely to know the answer I seek than many: growing up there was a show that I cant remember the name of or find any hints about now days, the pilot episodes plot basically went that there was this kid who lived on a farm, moved to the big city to be a sky racer and got involved with a secret hero organization that his dad used to lead
If anyone has any ideas what this show might be called, would be much appreciated (And AFAIK it wasnt the hotwheels battleforce 5, thats the most common thing people refer me to)
I was literally thinking yesterday did Jordan Fringe do a video on Buzz on Maggie yet?
This show was so hit or miss for me as a kid, I remember vivid lly adoring some episodes while absolutely despising others. Fun times!
This probably won’t work but

I haven't thought about this show for years but immediately upon seeing this video, I remembered the theme song.
I remember liking the show a lot. Everything about it felt unique.
It was one of my favorite mid-2000s cartoons growing up. I still listen to the theme song now and then. I was also disappointed it only lasted one season. It deserved more.
I specifically remember as a kid, someone in my family told me "ew, why would you watch a show about flies? Flies are nasty." and I never watched it again lmao. I regret it, because I loved the flashgames.
I loved watching this show, and I still think about specific episodes from time to time. The beauty contest, the carnival, the ladybug princess, and the dish sisters.
In Latin America it was called Maggie, una Mosca con onda(Maggie, a fly with vibe/groove)
I don’t know why, but I like the “A fly with a vibe” title better
If they ever rebooted this show, they should use that title
Hey,
Just wanted to say thank you. I have found and been bingeing your channel for the last two days. Your videos make me feel so comforted and nostalgic. It unlocks memories I forgot I had of my childhood. Thank you for this amazing channel. ❤️
I literally listen to the theme song most days while getting ready. I remember living this show.
i was OBSESSED with this show since it came out! when i was little i would keep the tv on all night so i could listen for the theme song when it would come on at like 6am! I even revisit it at least once a year to rewatch the whole series on youtube!
this is my petition to get Jordan Cringe to cover The Future Is Wild (2007) animated tv series. it’s based on an Animal Planet special where a group of scientists speculate on how life will evolve on earth in the far distant future. the series follows a group of time traveling teens bouncing through the future, trying to find a way to save humanity from an ice age, all while discovering the weird flora and fauna along the way.
it’s an underrated gem, and the only youtuber to cover the series was Billiam with a video on the original special, the animated show has largely been forgotten. a show with an intro that bangs that hard needs to be archived, you should check it out
I remember one episode where Maggie was a worker for a fancy restaurant because her parents were proud of her brother for working at a fast food place. In one scene you can see the house from Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends. It was a nice easter egg and was the only thing I remember from this show lol
Disney Channel was launched here in Poland in 2006, this was one of the shows they initially started with. I remember seeing maybe one or two episodes before it vanished. Maybe because it has so few episodes, but it seems like it was one of the least popular shows back then. I remember Recess and Brandy & Mr Whiskers reruns all the time until some new shows premiered.
This show triggers strong memories for me for two reasons, 1 - I remember watching it on Saturday mornings as a kid and liking it, and 2 - I *also* remembered loving the theme song, which caused me to look up the theme song in middle school, which then made me discover the singer of the theme song, Skye Sweetnam, whose music proceeded to be the definitive soundtrack to my middle school and early high school years. I even still ocassionally listen to her current band, Sumo Cyco, today, lol
Have you reviewed Jetix yet? You keep making such good nostalgic content man
He's reviewed shows like Oban Star Racers and Get Ed, but yeah, I'd be really cool to see the whole block looked at.
Please do Brandy and Mr Whiskers if you haven't :)
Already have
This show was absolutely one of my favorites when I was 6. I would constantly sing the theme song, I would play the games on the Disney website, I was so die hard for this show. I remember being upset that it wasn’t airing anymore and I’m really the only one of my friends who ever remembers this show lol
please do george of the jungle
I didn't really watch The Buzz on Maggie (maybe like a handful of episodes). But I remember the games: Germy Roundup, Rainy Ride and Dress To Express. I've played these games religiously back in the day, especially Rainy Ride
Just found your channel and it has such great content! Was wondering if you would consider doing an episode on Static Shock?? You’ve covered a lot of shows I used to watch growing up and would to see you cover that one too
** Edit: I actually just found a video where you did cover it lmaooo you deliver information really well. Definitely gonna continue watching**
I remember seeing this show randomly and forgot all what it was about
The buzz on Maggie was the reason I wanted to be punk
I just find it funny watching Aldrin knowing it's also Danny Phantom playing him.
David Kaufman!🤩
This channel always unlocks the best core memories💖
if you can remember this you can remember sushi pack right? you would be the first youtuber to talk abot that show! PLEASE I HAVE FAITH IN YOU
I only know about this because of some pic on DeviantArt called "The Brave Little Fly Girl," which had Maggie lead a group of random characters (like Homestar Runner and Zatch Bell) on some kind of quest and everyone assumed Maggie was an OC (do not steal).
I think we all remember the buzz on Maggie. If you don’t remember, you’re too young to be here 😂😂
I remember seeing that Curtis armstrong the voice actor who plays as my favorite character Dan in this show and I think Dan vs is such a great show not a lot of people may remember it because it was on the hub the program that got overshadowed by my little pony but that didn't stop Dan vs from having crossover commercial where pinky pie messed up Dan's car but all that the commercial just did was repainted Dan's car pink even though you can clearly see the wolf marks on it so Dan vs during the time was having an identity crises
I remember. Love the theme song. Didn't know it didn't air very long, what a shame. Seen the credits while I was in North Carolina. It could've had so much potential. And it makes flies look good. (They're my least favorite animal.)
Shoutouts to defunct land for permanently imprinting the Disney Channel jingle into my brain.
I LOVED this show because I loved characters who were rockstars and "bad girls" like I wanted to be. I wanted to to be tough and find my own way just like Maggie did.
I thought this show was a fever dream. along with some other shows. My dad the rockstar and another one called generation O
I remember this show and to be honest I was upset that the show ended so quickly and there wasn't even going to be a season 2. I was hoping there would be more about this show and that if it was alive, then it would've been shown one of the most famous disney series just like the others, for example like Kim possible, The Proud family, American Dragon, Lilo and Stich, and other disney shows. I'm really glad you brought another old disney show up..! And I feel like this show deserves maybe one more chance
When Lynn Loud was like her older sister Luna Loud... but as a tiny bug and got that rocking personally separated.
It’s funny because they’re both voiced by Jessica DiCicco
You need to talk about w.i.t.c.h!
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS ONE!!!!! I JUST WATCHED A COUPLE RUclips EPISODES!!!! I played the Disney channel website game where she was surfing and jumping and ducking around obstacles
This show came out just right past my Disney/ Nick/ CN prime watching days but I remember catching an episode at like 2am one night in like 8th grade and it was actually really funny and i enjoyed it. I never watched it again but I remember it fondly
I remember really liking this show. Which was weird, because I was not in the target demographic.
You guys remember that tv show with a protag with purple hair and catches monster. No, not juniper lee. The protag was male.
I remember this show and it was a really fun show. My father enjoyed this show too, but I only knew this show only lasted for 2 seasons and season 3 was cancelled. Pretty unfortunate
It never got a season 2
As a 10-year-old kid, I found this show to be incredibly annoying but I'm glad people like it.
This show was another one that I only ever managed to watch at like 4 or 5 in the morning but I did remember liking it.
8:08 That is indeed a spicy take, and a fully correct one. There's shows that use flash to great utility, and make it seem natural and bouncy like a traditional 2D cartoons. Then, there's THE flash look that everyone criticizes when they hear the term. The type that seems stiff with limited in-between frames and just like everyone's a marionette puppet. It's a stark difference that is jarring and uncomfortable to look at. Fairly OddParents, Arthur, and Cyberchase are some popular negative examples to reference when they transitioned to flash. But even Phineas and Ferb: Candace Against the Universe has key frames that look as if it's about to switch to flash and really makes ones heart drop 😨, as that's the one great animated show you DON'T want to see go that route (with it revived for two more seasons, kinda worried they might cut corners to save costs as it's an older IP now and only coming back 😞; doesn't have to try as hard now that it's fully established).
I vaguely remember this show but its just like a flys lifespan short.
I absolutely loved this show as a kid! Wow blast from the past.
omg my mouth literally dropped i thought this tv was a dream lol i couldn't figure out the name to save my life i loved this show
I didn't ask for you too reach into the deepest corners of my mind machinsation thankyou very much
WAIT! Remember MAGISWORDS!
I wAs here for a while but never subbed till now for some reason.
I was legit looking for this review a couple weeks ago!!! So glad you made it!!!
i was wandering when this video was gonna come out i also recommend atomic betty nostalgia from 15 years ago
This is gonna sound very weird, but I'm pretty sure I had a huge crush on Maggie
You're weren't the only one...
Mighty Ducks the cartoon please?
All I know is she had some really hot rule34 on her.
Personally I never heard this show until now. Sound it would be fun to watch The Buzz On Maggie. As always good job on the video.
I'm strange, and I like it. That's just the way I am.
I can't change, I can't hide it. That's just the way I am.
Might as well get over it, if not try to understand.
I'm strange and I like it just the way I am!
Oh I do remember this one! At least the intro and some of the games the Disney site had got stuck with me,I love it when I do remember the show you talk about!
Literally the only memory I have of this show is that one episode that has/is a “Terminator”, with Frogs taking the role of the Terminators. Especially that one scene where Maggie hallucinates her family being those “Frog-inators”, the baby (Edit: named Bella) included. 😂🤣
My little teenage self used to like this damn fly I don't even understand how and that was me bruh
