@@Lboogie0711 same!! Even though we did not get to see much of Eddies character development, I really enjoyed him so much. I was sad he left so when Kim did as well, my interest deteriorated !
Same here! I remember watching this show at some point in my childhood and going 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩. Kim was a real inspiration for me because during that time, I was doing karate as well. I felt the need to be a tomboy because I was one of the only three girls in my entire karate class. But watching Kim be herself made me understand that I didn't NEED to be a tomboy to study karate among boys. Most of all, it made me feel happy and represented when I saw a badass, karate-loving girl like me on TV.
I appreciate Eddie as someone who also wasn't exactly a nerd but also wasn't cool and was definitely not the most skilled person at any of my extra curriculars
The episode with Leo and booboo is so good, and shows how good the show could get with well trained karate/martial arts characters. They’re both on the same similar level with made the visuals so much better.
i dont think the boys were starring at kim in the beginning bc rhey were all gonna have a crush on her. But bc thats a rare time a female who is also apart of the black dragons is being nice to them
True, everyone but Jack seemed not interested in her but a female speaking to them, who is also part of the Black Dragons who is speaking to them and being nice?! Seemed like a myth.
i love kickin it but the way they just threw away eddie like that really put a bad taste in my mouth (i am aware the actor left the show bf anyone tries to argue with me on that) like eddie never was mentioned again but also seeing how the series did not change with his absent (until season 4 when kim left) goes to show he wasn’t a priority when it came to the main cast.
It's the current year, we're supposed to get upset bcuz he's black and no one made a big deal about him being gone. 😮💨 black excellence has become black victimhood. It's just ppl looking for any chance to use race as a cudgel. I miss black excellence being the goal.
I just searched it up and apparently only the first two season were aired in korea. It was called 'escape being a loosse kick'. Yeah this is probably the worst international name.
It also kind of makes sense if you don't think about it too hard. His parents are divorced and he went back to Seattle to live with his mom. Dad probably has particial custody.
For the Kim knowing Carson thing. They didn’t go to the same dojo but they could have been cool with each other at school because he seems like he was a popular guy
Kim being girly was a nice change to see, especially since it was in the era of 'not like other girls' being the popular personality choice for female leads. Its cool for a girl to be portrayed as someone who is both into sports AND being girly.
Low-key kinda upset we didn't get the game show episode, which Eddie wins btw, imo it was a neat little episode that has some funny moments, Jerry and Jack kill it as always, and was overall a top 5 episode for me as a kid
Yooo i just finished the video and yeah man i agree thats my favorite episode. I watched this alot growing up and that episode always stuck with me 😂😂 Jack was great in that episode

Speaking of Oana Gregory, did she, as Amanda, not put on a thick Romanian accent when getting into character in the episode where they were trying to make a movie?
I strangely like to think Bobby Wasabi was meant to be a reference to Steven Seagal And Nakamura’s actor had a brief cameo in the Speed Racer Movie as one of the spectators
@@TheKing-uu7jn Yeah I agree. Always thought it was Chuck Norris at first but now I’m agreeing it’s Seagal (because both are fat now and have ponytails)
Fun fact falafel Phill IS IN COBRA KAI 😂😅 hes Daniels Friend in season 1 and also makes multiple appearances in season 3 and 4 (also dates Louis sister lmao) Whenever I see him I’m reminded How good Kick in it and just in general how good all the old Disney shows were (good luck Charlie, Jesse,wizards of waverly place, etc)
I think the reason Jason earls is usually paired with adults is bc when he had to play on Hannah Montana he had to constantly act around kids. So I’m pretty sure in his contract he specified he needed to also be with adult actors. Which is why the B plots always seems so shoe horned in.
That's dedication to do a almost 4 hour video on it. Kickin' It and Zeke and Luther were my favorite two shows to watch on Disney XD growing up, they had some deep topics buried within the humor of these shows.

@@MrNostalgia I always felt that some shows have a certain vibe that a different RUclipsr would be equipped to handle. Henry Danger is very much a Quinton show because of his expertise in the Schneiderverse. The Thundermans and K.C.

Kirby Buckets is a Mr. Nostalgia show because it’s kind of a spiritual successor to Zeke and Luther in a lot to ways.
They did an "event" where a piece of Kirby Buckets merchandise appeared in three live-action shows, Mighty Med, Lab Rats and something else. In Mighty Med, the item was a shirt that needed to be cleaned. They marketed it as an event, from what I hear.@@TheTekkenguy
1:52:06 The Middle is such a good show and it sucks that no one talks about it on RUclips. I would be so down to watch a retrospective on The Middle since it was on of my favorite childhood tv shows. So thanks for shouting it out 😊
I remember loving this show for Leo Howard and watching the martial arts. Kim and Jack were the best together, I don't remember season 4 cause I stopped watching. It's still a great show.
23:43 in my experience (granted not in martial arts specifically) there is always some parent or somebody taking pictures and videos. Especially for non school related high school aged sports. That’s how you get scouts and stuff to show up and hopefully get to your kid a scholarship.
As someone who only watched about two or three episodes of this show, I now wish young me had given it a chance! Based on this video, this group’s friendship seems a lot healthier than the ones in other kid sitcoms from this era. Like, there isn’t that one character who is technically in the friend group but is constantly treated like an outcast because they’re nerdy or considered unattractive. Also, I like that Jack, who is generally good at most things, is still really likable since he isn’t a jerk about it. Great video Mr. Nostalgia! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
2:06:11 Jack is wearing a t shirt with the cover art for the rap album The Low End Theory by Tribe Called Quest (probz my favorite band of all time). However, they put duck tape over the album name to avoid having to pay them.
Honestly all I remember from the show was the theme, being surprised that Leo finally got a lead role after Leo Little’s Big show was on for a while, and I thought Olivia was cute lol
This show caused me to get a black belt in karate. I also wrote a self insert episode where Jack has a younger sister and she was more popular than him and he was mad.
Something you surprisingly didn’t mention is that marg the lunch lady is played by Loni Love who would go on to star on a talk show called the real which is what she is most known for.
I’m a huge fan of the “sensor not being on” explanation because I like to imagine what it must of have been like to realize they did all those stunts for nothing. Like they’re cool when they’re necessary, but a little silly when they’re not
Quinton Reviews gotta be thanked for my favorite new format of youtube videos/ retrospectives which are long ass reviews. I remember when Eddie left the show man me and my sister thought it was cuz they were racist 😂
Did anyone not notice the Hannah Montana reference with Phil and Rudy? When they mixed the chocolate and falafel, that was a reference to the cheese jerky scene with Jackson and Oliver.
3:44:18 While I agree Eddie did seem to feel like an afterthought at times, I wouldnt say he didn't have a character. He was always supposed to be the "mamas boy" of the group. I think the two episodes that show that off best are Reality fights where he was the only one that didn't seem to let the fame get to them (even with the twist at the end) and Indiana Eddie where he wants to be an archeologist even if everyone else thinks it is ridiculous he still believes in being one. While him leaving in season 3 was not that big a loss as his character was not as strong as the rest, I think them deciding to never mention him at all as if he was never there was a dumb move. Like I swear I remember a clipshow episode in season 4 where because they couldnt use clips of Eddie all the footage was from s3 and s4 only. Looking forward to part 2 seeing what u think of the later seasons this was one of my favorite sitcoms with a kid alongside I’m In The Band. (Idc what people say that show is peak)
I loved reality fights for him. They utilized his "just there" energy seamlessly there. It's immensely satisfying that not only does he win but the rest of the gang give him props for being strategic the whole time. Honestly wholesome as heck
Oh not even in series recap clips? That leads me to think they just couldn't show any footage with him there cause of contract reasons involving using any stuff he was present after he willingly left for school and desire for a more private life and not anything malicious. Though I ain't in the biz, just speculating
@@CarlosHernandez-el4oc i remember that episode and that song lol. ngl I always thought that Jerrys role in that episode wouldve been Kim's if Olivia Holt wasnt filming Girl vs Monster.
If I had to describe Eddie as a character, I would say he's the Average Joe & the most normal out of the other character. He's basically the Winston (Ghostbusters) of the show. Sad he wasn't so defined, but if I had a chance to rewrite his character, I would make him The Heart of the group who always brings everyone together. You see the other character argue in the show, they could've made Eddie give them moral support to solve their conflict with one another
You bringing up Psych and The Middle is crazyyyyy They’re like possibly my two favourite sitcoms ever, especially since they’re one of the rare ones that has aged pretty well, and I think most of the casts of both are pretty cool too
24:10 I have to disagree. As someone who did martial arts when I was younger, it’s very hard to hit those or push them over. They’re weighted at the bottom and made of hard plastic, so the fact that she was able to knock those over with a single strike is pretty impressive, especially for a middle schooler
the main thing I think of when that show comes to mind is the music video where they climb out of a picnic basket an a group of people don't get freaked out about this at all
I loved Kickin It when it was airing, and I rewatched it for the first time last summer and had so much fun doing it. Genuinely the most fun kids show rewatch experience I've had. The first two seasons are so good and funny and have quite a few memorable episodes / plotlines. I also could write a whole essay about how Jack and Kim's relationship was slowly and subtly built up. Cant wait to see what you have to say about the last two seasons, they're not bad but there's definitely a dip in quality.
I am so glad someone did a retrospective for this video. Im glad i found your channel because usually i look for this stuff on Keyan Carliles channel but this channel is just as good if not better
I swear, in Disney Leo Howard was literally "Him" incarnate, this dude was everywhere, he plays as crushes, had his own show, was apart of the commercials cus the mfer was popular, a blackbelt who did his own stunts(mostly) on some prepubescent jackie-chan shit and was trained by the mfer that was Johnny in that one Mortal Kombat teaser and the main antagonist from Blood and Bone! This dude Leo was HIM during Disney XD
Dude, you mentioning Aaron stone at the beginning of this video has somehow unlocked a memory of mine. I used to watch that show a bunch as a kid but I didn’t remember anything about it at all until you mentioned it just now. Wow.
2:27:36 I love the realness of him saying it’s October 20th and this just came out 5 days ago😂😂 Fr though I do appreciate the dedication to this video I’m sure it was a lot to film edit and prepare for keep up the great work man☺️
You most definitely earned a sub. I grew up on this show in a place where people “didn’t like it.” But I definitely enjoyed this show, even as a 18 year old I love it like im still 6-8 again.
All I remember from this show is that Kofi Kingston was in it (wrestlers in Disney Shows is something that happened to quite a few Disney Channel/XD shows).
i was inLOVE with kickin it when i was younger. no one knew what it was except me, felt like my own little secret. its awesome to see others talk about this show man.
Just so you know when watching your video with headphones from 33:00 to like 1:00:00 you can only hear the audio from one side of the headphones before and after that audio is perfectly fine
thats odd, i edited this entire video with headphones on and i never had that issue Edit: i just used my earbuds to listen to that portion and i dont have that on my end. idk what happened
my favorite eddie moment was when he was singing get the ninjas in the wasabi introduction episode. Also i did find it sad he left as while in the 2 seasons he was on he didn't do much he had potentinal lines like how he was the first to join the dojo which i think could have made for a very interesting eddie/rudy episode but alas the time he spent on the show i did find him enjoyable.
Watch part 2 here!

23:43 in my experience (granted not in martial arts specifically) there is always some parent or somebody taking pictures and videos. Especially for non school related high school aged sports. That’s how you get scouts and stuff to show up and hopefully get to your kid a scholarship.
1:01:30 the writers of that episode actually wrote a few iCarly eps, including iSaved Your Life.
As someone who only watched about two or three episodes of this show, I now wish young me had given it a chance! Based on this video, this group’s friendship seems a lot healthier than the ones in other kid sitcoms from this era. Like, there isn’t that one character who is technically in the friend group but is constantly treated like an outcast because they’re nerdy or considered unattractive. Also, I like that Jack, who is generally good at most things, is still really likable since he isn’t a jerk about it. Great video Mr. Nostalgia! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I said that same thing , I loved how jack was good at karate , but state very humble.
i love that you use the real promotions for the show
2:06:11 Jack is wearing a t shirt with the cover art for the rap album The Low End Theory by Tribe Called Quest (probz my favorite band of all time). However, they put duck tape over the album name to avoid having to pay them.
Kickin’t walked for Cobra Kai to run Amazing video
Honestly all I remember from the show was the theme, being surprised that Leo finally got a lead role after Leo Little’s Big show was on for a while, and I thought Olivia was cute lol
This show caused me to get a black belt in karate. I also wrote a self insert episode where Jack has a younger sister and she was more popular than him and he was mad.
i love the addition of the aired ads. they really unlock old memories thanks Mr. Nostalgia
this show was called ''The Wasabi Warriors'' here in Brazil, and was throught it that i discovered one of my favorite dishes: falafel!
Something you surprisingly didn’t mention is that marg the lunch lady is played by Loni Love who would go on to star on a talk show called the real which is what she is most known for.
I knew her from being a commentator on The Smoking Gun/Tru tv. Presents: World's Dumbest
I’m a huge fan of the “sensor not being on” explanation because I like to imagine what it must of have been like to realize they did all those stunts for nothing. Like they’re cool when they’re necessary, but a little silly when they’re not
Quinton Reviews gotta be thanked for my favorite new format of youtube videos/ retrospectives which are long ass reviews.
I remember when Eddie left the show man me and my sister thought it was cuz they were racist 😂
This show really meant a lot to me. When the show was coming out at the time, I was actually taking martial arts classes
Did anyone not notice the Hannah Montana reference with Phil and Rudy? When they mixed the chocolate and falafel, that was a reference to the cheese jerky scene with Jackson and Oliver.
Yo, you're so right! I didnt even realize that! 🤯
I literally started binge watching the series (again) last week, timing is crazy. I still think the show is genius watching it at 19
3:44:18 While I agree Eddie did seem to feel like an afterthought at times, I wouldnt say he didn't have a character. He was always supposed to be the "mamas boy" of the group. I think the two episodes that show that off best are Reality fights where he was the only one that didn't seem to let the fame get to them (even with the twist at the end) and Indiana Eddie where he wants to be an archeologist even if everyone else thinks it is ridiculous he still believes in being one. While him leaving in season 3 was not that big a loss as his character was not as strong as the rest, I think them deciding to never mention him at all as if he was never there was a dumb move. Like I swear I remember a clipshow episode in season 4 where because they couldnt use clips of Eddie all the footage was from s3 and s4 only.
Looking forward to part 2 seeing what u think of the later seasons this was one of my favorite sitcoms with a kid alongside I’m In The Band. (Idc what people say that show is peak)
I loved reality fights for him. They utilized his "just there" energy seamlessly there. It's immensely satisfying that not only does he win but the rest of the gang give him props for being strategic the whole time. Honestly wholesome as heck
He reminds me when Gunther's actor in Shake It Up didn't show up in season 3 and wasn't even mentioned in the finale recape.
Oh not even in series recap clips? That leads me to think they just couldn't show any footage with him there cause of contract reasons involving using any stuff he was present after he willingly left for school and desire for a more private life and not anything malicious. Though I ain't in the biz, just speculating
His “Ninja Fighting” song was memorable
@@CarlosHernandez-el4oc i remember that episode and that song lol. ngl I always thought that Jerrys role in that episode wouldve been Kim's if Olivia Holt wasnt filming Girl vs Monster.
If I had to describe Eddie as a character, I would say he's the Average Joe & the most normal out of the other character. He's basically the Winston (Ghostbusters) of the show.
Sad he wasn't so defined, but if I had a chance to rewrite his character, I would make him The Heart of the group who always brings everyone together. You see the other character argue in the show, they could've made Eddie give them moral support to solve their conflict with one another
You bringing up Psych and The Middle is crazyyyyy
They’re like possibly my two favourite sitcoms ever, especially since they’re one of the rare ones that has aged pretty well, and I think most of the casts of both are pretty cool too
Nostalgia has dropped PEAK again, keep up the hard work and pace, we are almost at 50K 🔥🙌
24:10 I have to disagree. As someone who did martial arts when I was younger, it’s very hard to hit those or push them over. They’re weighted at the bottom and made of hard plastic, so the fact that she was able to knock those over with a single strike is pretty impressive, especially for a middle schooler
And I think they even contrasted early in the episode when Milton was knocked by it after punching it, so they must be hard and heavy
zeke and luther and pair of kings were great, but imo zeke and luther is one of the best disney shows
the main thing I think of when that show comes to mind is the music video where they climb out of a picnic basket an a group of people don't get freaked out about this at all
I loved Kickin It when it was airing, and I rewatched it for the first time last summer and had so much fun doing it. Genuinely the most fun kids show rewatch experience I've had. The first two seasons are so good and funny and have quite a few memorable episodes / plotlines. I also could write a whole essay about how Jack and Kim's relationship was slowly and subtly built up.
Cant wait to see what you have to say about the last two seasons, they're not bad but there's definitely a dip in quality.
After I watched this video on Patreon I started rewatching this show and it's so chaotic 💀🤣
the comparison for milton’s dad was on point i’ve always wondered why he looked familiar 🤦🏽♀️
31:24 Jerry has the ability to open lockers so not surprised he can unlock doors too😂
Kickin it will always be my favorite series growing up, I’m glad others enjoy it too even now (also talking about it makes it better)
Labrats, Kickin it, Zeke and Luther and also Kick Buttowski were all classics.
5:26 I remember as a kid seeing Jeremy Renner in the Avengers and thought "Oh, it's that guy from Kickin' It"
Talking about Kickin’ It while making a lot of random basketball references… I love this video
I love how the show canonically has ghost, cyborgs, and magic. It’s so random and I love it
I love how
ive given you like 10 watch hours from watching this to sleep for multiple days, and rewatching from the last part i remember when im awake 😭
I am so glad someone did a retrospective for this video. Im glad i found your channel because usually i look for this stuff on Keyan Carliles channel but this channel is just as good if not better
I swear, in Disney Leo Howard was literally "Him" incarnate, this dude was everywhere, he plays as crushes, had his own show, was apart of the commercials cus the mfer was popular, a blackbelt who did his own stunts(mostly) on some prepubescent jackie-chan shit and was trained by the mfer that was Johnny in that one Mortal Kombat teaser and the main antagonist from Blood and Bone! This dude Leo was HIM during Disney XD
3:08:00 THANK YOU for bringing this up. I’ve always thought it was such a plot hole.
Oh man, so happy seeing this video blow up!! Hope it brings more people to check out your channel, you deserver the hype!
Dude, you mentioning Aaron stone at the beginning of this video has somehow unlocked a memory of mine. I used to watch that show a bunch as a kid but I didn’t remember anything about it at all until you mentioned it just now. Wow.
2:27:36 I love the realness of him saying it’s October 20th and this just came out 5 days ago😂😂
Fr though I do appreciate the dedication to this video I’m sure it was a lot to film edit and prepare for keep up the great work man☺️
You most definitely earned a sub. I grew up on this show in a place where people “didn’t like it.” But I definitely enjoyed this show, even as a 18 year old I love it like im still 6-8 again.
I won’t lie, this video lowkey feels like a thinly veiled excuse to roast basketball players. 😂
The Allen Iverson one was personal. I saw him at a Popeyes once and he refused to talk to me.
All I remember from this show is that Kofi Kingston was in it (wrestlers in Disney Shows is something that happened to quite a few Disney Channel/XD shows).
Who remembers Rey Mysterio in Zeke and Luther? Or the Miz in Pair of Kings?
i was inLOVE with kickin it when i was younger. no one knew what it was except me, felt like my own little secret. its awesome to see others talk about this show man.
Just so you know when watching your video with headphones from 33:00 to like 1:00:00 you can only hear the audio from one side of the headphones before and after that audio is perfectly fine
thats odd, i edited this entire video with headphones on and i never had that issue
Edit: i just used my earbuds to listen to that portion and i dont have that on my end. idk what happened
I'm sure Schneider was punched himself when he realized that this show with barefoot teenagers on a consistent and logical basis wasn't his idea.
💀💀💀💀
Fun fact! In Romanian, this show still had the original title of Wasabi Warriors, just translated
I really like how you incorporated the actual ads and characters on Disney channel introduction clips! Good touch
Love kickin it, one of my favorite shows growing up! Amazing video.
We swear by the light of the dragons eye to be loyal honest and never say Die Wasabi. Can’t wait to see more Mr nostalgia I love your channel.
ITS FINALLY HAPPENING!
1:56:03 I love Rudy and Kim holding back Kai’s lackeys but letting Kai fight Jack because they know he can handle him one on one
1:07:25 It’s a reference to the end of the 1982 film “An Officer and a Gentleman”
Havent ever seen this show but I love these long essays on shows and will add this to the playlist immedlately!
You should definitely watch it
nearly 4 hours? oh now this is content
words cannot describe how much i love this show
I am so glad you made this. This is exactly what I needed today
A 3-hour video of Mr. nostalgia lets goo
my favorite eddie moment was when he was singing get the ninjas in the wasabi introduction episode. Also i did find it sad he left as while in the 2 seasons he was on he didn't do much he had potentinal lines like how he was the first to join the dojo which i think could have made for a very interesting eddie/rudy episode but alas the time he spent on the show i did find him enjoyable.
Bro was honestly my fav character he just normal nun special im him he me
Milton looks like a younger,ginger "Drew Gooden"
