    "ReBoot" was an early computer-animated show made in Canada.

      I watched it as an early teen and enjoyed it. I had to purchase it when I saw it offered about 5 years ago. It was still pretty good, but the last season was ok.

    I had those Pokémon playsets as a kid, it was popular when I was 5 back in ‘98. I think TOMY made a bunch of those sets.

    I had quite a few Hot Wheels and Micro Machines playsets in the 80s and early 90s. They often could store a few cars and usually had an action feature, such as a car launcher.
    My favorite Micro Machines playset was a military base (military was the first MM line to have figures). The playset had a few builds with spring-loaded triggers, so you could press a button to “bomb” the structure.

    The Star Wars ones were really cool. The Mighty Max ones were cool too, and the cartoon got pretty dark at times.

    I remember the two in the Game of Death you presented at the TG&Y by my neighborhood as a youngster in San Antone. Didn't think I'd see those again. What a trip. Digging the Junkman Fu. Keep on keeping on.

    I loved the mini playsets for Star Wars and Mighty Max. I also had a Spider-man one that wasn’t a playset but a giant robot spider that Spider-man could drive.

    I remember Thunderbirds airing on Fox Kids in the 90s. I never watched it, but I think it was the original 60s episodes. I think they were trying to resurrect that show after several decades, the same way they did with Speed Racer at the time.

    The BBC's hilarious "Red Dwarf" was shown on PBS. (My profile pic is the character "Arnold Rimmer" from that show.) Great series, and they say more is to come this year.

    I had a Godzilla micro playset. It was Godzilla's head and it opened up at the mouth and there was a little city inside with a tiny Godzilla and tiny Mechagodzilla. It was really neat. I don't remember it having a card but I guess it must have

    Mighty Milton Berle Power Ragers. Get it? Because he was hard to get along with?
    The only few I liked were the Star Wars Micro Machines mini playsets like Vader's lightsaber that converted into the DS trench.
    I had the box with the whole set of mini SW heads, but my Ep. I cans exploded and got the box moldy, so I had to open them. Mad.
    Thanks for the video

    They aired ReBoot on Russian channels back in the mid 90s. Calling it (loosely translated) "Computer Warriors." I liked it well enough but forgot about it until I saw those at the store long ago.
