It's so interesting hearing how Canadian dubbing companies were more respectful to the source material being Japanese than 4kids was. I used to LOVE Medabots, but I totally forgot how much it embraced its Japanese settings and didn't try to rename stuff or pretend they were in the USA. Also we seem to be much more slack with ratings and mature content here. The G rating here meant the show was for kids yeah, but that didn't mean it wasn't going to explore mature topics that are valuable to teenagers. I think things like that are important to be talked about in a tasteful way so kids can have a better understanding of the world as they grow. Man, I remember seeing Superbad in theatres, since it was rated 14+ here. But in the US? A hard R rating. I think american companies and government are a little overprotective when it comes to letting younger kids see sensitive content. The 6Teen episodes that didn't air in the US is a good example of that.
Nitro Rad Yeah, while I say 4Kids did have its moments of retaining Japanese stuff (like certain songs from Pokemon, etc.), Canadian stuff seemed much more comfortable with the foreign stuff, and it really went a long way. Same for mature stuff, that G rating really did stand for a general audience, pretty much meaning anybody could watch it - kids included, but not JUST for kids. I recently learned that when it comes to airing mature content in Canada, we can air pretty much anything at almost any time on TV because of the viewer advisories that pop up after EVERY commercial break, as opposed to the States that does just one at the start of the show. I think because we don’t sugarcoat it, we’re a lot more lenient.
That's not entirely true, as the Nelvana dub for Cardcaptors was awful. It changed so much from the original to market it as an action show for a male demographic, cutting half the episodes leaving the ones with only action, changing the relaxing orchestral score for American synth tracks, changing all the Japanese names to American ones, and the voice acting....oh god the horrible voice acting. It took years for them to loose the rights to the series by Nelvana so another company by the name of Animax Asia could make a better English dub without the changes in 2014. Considering how this was their first-ever anime, they had no clue what they were doing and just went out of their way to make it as palpable for American audiences, but that costed Cardcaptors not receiving a proper dub for over a decade and a half.
In Eastern Europe, on the other side, Canadian cartoons, like "What's with Andy", "Team Galaxy", "Kids from Room 402", etc. were considered part of our childhoods, when we watched Fox Kids in early to mid 2000s. I am from Russia, but even Poles love Canadian animation.
@@typhoonth8689 whats with Andy was so funny. I got the books for a birthday when I was like 12 and just everything about the show and books was stupid fun
Idk if anyone has already said this and I know this is like a year old however I highly recommend watching the original Japanese Sailor Moon because in the dub a lot gets cut out and it's genuinely really funny and cool and I love Usagi
I was shocked when I learned how many episodes didnt make it to dub one time qhen searching it on youtube years back honestly. I never realised how much I missed when watching it as a kid on TV
The biggest wave of nostalgia I've felt was when I heard the Gundan SEED ending years after I saw it on ytv, glad there were viewers out there telling them to keep them in.
I'm kinda wondered at no talk about like, most of the other stuff on YTV and Teletoon; I liked watching (other than most of the shows mentioned here and in Vol. 1) The Dumb Bunnies, Spliced, That's So Weird (basically a rip on MadTV), Almost Naked Animals, and Scaredy Squirrel; And for some periods of time, shows like Sidekick, Grossology, League of Super Evil, Storm Hawks, Rocket Monkeys, Captain Flamingo, Kid vs. Kat, Zeke's Pad, Edgar & Ellen, Jimmy Two-Shoes, Erky Perky, Viva Piñata, Grojband, Babar and the Adventures of Badou, Jacob Two Two, Camp Lakebottom, and George of the Jungle. Some of them I grew out of, and others I haven't seen in a while.
Clone High is one of the best Canadian shows I've ever seen. I even have the DVD of the only season they were able to make. I only saw one of episode of it when it was on MTV, but I was dying of laughter when I finally saw it years later, which was probably a good thing since it's a very teen/adult show. Also I think Ed Edd n Eddy is technically Canadian
My BF loves everything Lord and Miller make and Clone high is his favourite cartoon. He has the Dvd of the only season as well and makes reference to it so often. I am lucky he was able toshow it to me as I never saw it growing up. It always aired after 9pm and that was my bed time 😂
Hamtaro was one of my first influences of anime - loved it so much I got a bunch of figures of the Ham-Hams from Japan and all the Game Boy Advance games for my birthday when I was younger. "Oompah!"
we need to start the hamtaro fandom: make hamsonas,write bad hamtaro fanfics,speak in ham-ham the same way bronies do...ALL OF IT so we can get the good word out.
Assorted Yvon of the Yukon thoughts: This was one of my favourite shows on YTV growing up. I normally am dismissive on CanCon because the low quality as a result of its existence being the law while the best creators move to the States, but Yvon was iconic. That Canada Day 2005 thing where Yvon hung out with (Being) Ian's family in between episodes of those shows' marathons was the first time I was concious of there being a crossover and I ate that shit up. I still love that Mountie being told he's mad and asking with a tone of genuine concern if Tommy means "angry mad or crazy mad" and I still refer to "ze powere tewels" in normal conversation. Nobody, not even the brothers and dister I watched with, get it. I feel twinges of frustration every day that the complete series isn't readily available. It's one of the things I want most in my life. R.I.P. Kirby Morrow aka Tommy Tukyuk
There's some shows I'm surprised were Canadian, and some I'm surprised were not. The former list includes _Undergrads_ , _Clone High_ , _Dating Guy_ , and _Quads_ ; the latter list includes _Bionic Six_ , _Mission Hill_ , _Dr. Katz_ , and _Home Movies_ . 😕 Skid-row bro, Wesleeeeey!
Here’s what I love about Being Ian: it taking place in Burnaby, British Columbia probably contributes to the chock full of movie references, since it’s part of Metro Vancouver, which is commonly referred to as Hollywood North.
God Yvon of the yukon was one of my favourite shows as a kid and now I really wanna see it again. But the weird thing is that it was in english and not in portuguese, im from portugal and in here the only shows/movies that are dubbed are cartoons.
Carl squared, being Ian, Martin mystery, so many old shows that I can finally remember that were stuck in the back of my head. Love the videos thecartoongamer8000
It’s so odd. My parents worked as higher ups in Studio B (they made Yvon of the Yukon, Kid vs Kat, and Being Ian) and I used to think I was the only one who knew about those shows. It’s so interesting to see other people talking about them. While my mom is now making things The Hollow and stuff, I will always feel the most attached to Being Ian. I loved that show.
Speaking of Obscure Canadian Dubbed Anime. There's one called Project ARMS, it stars Ocean Group VAs such as Kirby Morrow, Venus Terzo, Brian Drummond, Brad Swaile, Nicole Oliver etc. Where it was about a couple of Japanese teenagers learning they have been implanted with nanomachine bioweapons for limbs that they lost from accidents when they were children, and having to survive and fight back against an secret organization called the Egregori. Even going as far as traveling across America later on in the series. It was also heavily influenced from Alice in Wonderland, where their ARMS are named after Alice in Wonderland characters such as Jabberwock, White Knight, White Rabbit, Queen of Hearts etc. And there is even an character introduced later in the series named Alice. Shame the Anime never got to the manga's final arc and ending as the Manga it was based off of was finishing up in Japan back in 2002. Hence the anime made some liberties later on in it's 2nd Season called The 2nd Chapter.
Thank you for both parts of this! I went down a rabbit hole of Canadian commercials from the 1990s-2000s when a goof between me and my partner lead to me looking up "dont you put it in your mouth". Your video was recommended for part 1 and it is so well put together and even though I am canadian I didnt even know certain shows had canadian roots lile Cybersix (god that themesong was so good) or 6teen being fully available here but not fully available in the states
Well I really like Martin Mystery wand Classnof the Titans along with Digata Defenders. They seem different from the cartoons in America and I find Canadian cartoons to be fascinating as a fan of animation. I can't help but find excitement when I find a new piece of animation.
I never watched Hamtaro as a kid (I live in the US) but I do remember buying a Hamtaro book from my elementary school library when they were selling books.
It's always fascinating to hear about Cartoons I've never seen before (due to not living in Canada) and hearing about the memories of people who watched them Growing up or more recently
Total Drama may be the most popular Canadian cartoon worldwide (at least from what I've seen), but Yvon of the Yukon, Being Ian, and The Raccoons will always be the true representatives of Canadian cartoons to me. And it will always peeve me that the American-made Johnny Test for some reason has dethroned them as the face of Canadian cartoons.
6Teen aired on Cartoon Network in the US also Total Drama is still going, also Jacob Two Two was aired here on Qubo. Medabots was aired in the US on Fox, the current license to release DVD’s of the show is Discotek Media it was Shout! Factory until this year when Discotek Media got the rights to release Medabots on DVD and Blu-Ray
Honestly this series brought back a ton of memories. I wouldn't be able to tell you how well any of these hold up but here are some names that stand out in my memory... Polka dot shorts/polka dot door My goldfish is evil Katie and orby What's with Andy My dad is a rock star (Created by Gene Simmons but only aired in Canada) Slim pig Nanalan (thanks YMS)
Dang, I remember lots of bumpers and commercials for Urban Vermin as well as a couple of placements for the characters in my WOAH! magazines (I still have em!) but for years after those shows moved on, all I could do was look back and just vaguely imagine what Urban Vermin as a show was even like. I'm glad you were a fan of it and I got to hear what it was like! Martin Mystery was one of my favourites so I guess that's the trade-off here.
The voice of Mr. Referee from “Medabots” also voiced Malachite (original name Kunzite) from the original DIC dub of “Sailor Moon”. I didn’t even know he was PAC-MAN’s creator in “Pixels”.
Many thanks good sir for reveling BEING IAN to me. Even since I saw one of it's episode's ON Cartoon Network Mexico back in the SUMMER of 2007, I've always wondered what show it was & why I never saw it before here in the U.S.
Old skool Medabots was frickin awesome! Wish they could put it on Netflix just for the nostalgic rewatch, even if it is just the dub cause that theme song kicks so much ass!😆 Maybe it is on Netflix, atleast not in my region
Man, you give me a lot if nostalgia, man! My favourite commercial aired on YTV are the Pizza Pops commercials where a group of teenage boys who are bored watching TV refuse to listen to their dads who are in danger like falling off the roof, getting in an accident in the garage, attacked by the dog and stung by bees. I was wondering if you happen to have these ads?
I'm super surprised you didn't mention TDI. That show was super popular here in the U.S. Heck it was actually the very first show I watched spoilers for. I discovered that it was Canadian and looked it up on RUclips. I found out who got out weeks before all my friends and classmates and felt super smart. Boy was it hard to keep quiet about the spoilers but I kept quiet so I didn't ruin it for everyone. Also I didn't realize Six teen didn't air several episodes here in America! Now I have to hunt them down.
Oh my God I almost forgot about medabots! I literally had to pause this video just to go watch the opening of medabots that was one of the greatest shows I remember growing up as a kid I think actually that was the first anime ever watched and got me into watching anime as a whole. Thank you cartoongamer8000 for reminding me of the awesome cartoons here in Canada.
Inuyasha is one of those shows I remember people actually liking the dub for the cast with people, even today and I loved the casting for how for a Canadian dub, all the voices seemed to fit the characters a lot. From how popular Sesshoumaru and Naraku's voices were in the fandom.
i can't even TELL you how much i adore inuyasha's "change the world" and "my will". that series was the first "grown up" anime i ever saw and it will forever have a place in my heart (even though i still have yet to watch all of it).
holy shit man, medabots. The one gem I'd always forgotten the name to. Didn't know one of the directors for an episode went onto Gurren Lagann thats insaaaaaane
I hadn't gotten around to bringing this up during our brief stint talking about Canadian toons (though, in all fairness, I kinda delayed my responses a tad), but when I was a young man, it was oddly enough Canadian toons that kept me going through my rough patches. I'll spare those reading the full details, but suffice it to say, I gained major respect for shows like Ruby Gloom, 6Teen and especially Total Drama.
Omg, so many of these were aired in The Netherlands. Definitaly going to rewatch some stuff, you rekindled my love man, especially Medabots! Also, I am going to do my first voice actor audition, so maybe we will work together in the future! :D
The first episode they played of 6teen was the Halloween Zombie outbreak episode. I watched it when I was like 8 and it scarred me for such a long time!
2:26 surprisingly enough, Yvan of the Yukon did air in latinamerica in Nickelodeon, of all places. Personally, I always though to be a pretty bad show, but might as well I give it another chance, but good luck trying to find this in spanish...
You should have added Pretty Cure (That's) english name for the first season if you watch it because it was the first anime anyone in my neighborhood would say when watching YTV, I also enjoyed Being Ian and Ruby Gloom (I used to wake up early just for those shows)
After seeing this, you make me want to watch Dragon Ball! I'm playing Dragon Quest 11 right now, and the artist from Dragon Ball also made the art of Dragon Quest. I love the character designs so much.
good videos man they bring me back to being a kid haha, we had some wicked cartoons here in Canada, nice job again man keep them coming much love and respect thanks for the trip down memory lane
I've watched alot of tv and most of these shows did air in the Netherlands we used to get alot of european/canadian shows but we also got all the american stuff so we pretty much had all the perks. I was suprised to see Urban vermin since I do not know the Dutch name of it. And I've never found it again until now I guess.
I've never seen 6teen... I wish I'd recorded some Game Gurus, that show feels like a bizarre dream now. Never knew the host was our Metabee, that's pretty cool!
I live in South Africa and they showed a lot of these Canadian cartoons on TV so I grew up with a lot these even Evan of the Yukon PS I've watched urban vermin
I would love to see a volume 3 on this series covering Martin mysteries, moville mysteries, mona the vampire, Jacob two two and other great things of early YTV. They really abandoned the be weird slogan and it's sad to see.
oOhhh No way! I thought Urban Vermin was a fever dream. I remember watching Bionix a good bit and immediately falling in love with Inuyasha, I started and lost track with the show when it initially aired. And it is a real shame that our output has been on the decline with kids shows I'm afraid are just not being the same with re-runs as to appease an audience that is growing tired of it. Now a small list of shows you might not have taken a look at: Grossology: a show about 2 teenage agents fighting of things with science. Cyberchase: aired on PBS and had Gilbert Gottfried as a bird, lots of math. Flying Rhino Junior High: watch the intro, it is way catchier than it should have any right to be. George Shrinks: a simple show with frankly some nice jazz every now and then. Barbar: The early 2D one as the 3D reboot(?) was a bit odd from what I remember. A Tale of Redwall: I'm surprised I still recognized it when looking around but man this show was intense at times. Dragon Tales: It was the show that introduced me to dragons... I thank it for that. Wibbly Pig: I remember catching its intro and a few episodes, lovely art style. 7 Little Monsters: I don't hear many people talk about it, a decent show with a jamming intro. Grounding Marsh: Hard to find but, the intro is still up on RUclips, puppets still look solid. Pipi Longstocking: I remember the intro so clearly that I sadly never got to watch the show. Potatoes and Dragons: Wacky, simple, funny for what I remember, as much as I hate potatoes. Stoked: Similar to 6Teen but a slightly more fluent design, hard to describe but I think its the same crew. Nightmare Ned: A show that got me alone with the intro, hard to find but there is a game. Mystery Hunters: The one show that I thank the most for reinvigorating my curiosity with life and science in general. There was a lot going around when I grew up, some bad, others average or forgettable but, I'm glad I experienced them one way or the other.
My. God. it's like you lived my childhood. I thought I was the only one who watched Treehouse TV when I was a kid (I thought NO ONE would remember Rosabelle and Tansy) and then gradually started YTV as I got older (Sugar and Carlos are still the best hosts the Zone ever had). This video just brought back a rush of good memories for me. Big Comfy Couch, Ruby Gloom, Being Ian, I could go on. Kind of wish you talked a bit about Martin Mystery though, probably one of my definitive favorite shows whenever it came on YTV, I still watch episodes of it from time to time on RUclips.
I grew up in the USA but Totally Spies, The Amazing Spies, and Martin Mystery were all big parts of my childhood and finding out they were made by the same studio, and part of a shared universe, blew my mind as a kid because the Spies aired on Cartoon Network down here but Martin aired on Nicktoons Network (where Nickelodeon dumps the shows they have no faith in). Honestly it’s a shame that Canada has such a poor reputation now because I watched a lot of Nicktoons Network when the main channel was airing nothing but live action sitcoms, and looking back a lot of them were Canadian, and I remember a lot of them very fondly.
i remember watching yvon of the yukon on cbbc and toonatik (uk childrens channels or block in the case of the later) it was one of my favourites and to be honest i would love to see some of the full episodes of the pretty cure dub again I found back in 2012 the UK version on youtube before it was taken down but the only version i can find now are the ones that have the japanese version with the english audio over the episodes but not the version that was on uk tv and canadian tv
I can remember watching the first episode of 6teen on Teletoon. I was visiting my Greek grandmother and my parents came in to see what I was watching. The moment they saw the scene in the pilot episode where the taco girl spits in the food, my parents were so disgusted they forbid me or my siblings from watching it. (Still totally did though).
Hey! It's me Callum. I loved the video and didn't know about a lot of these Canadian shows. Also thanks for chatting with me and giving me advice. Hope I can talk with you again!
I effing *love* Toronto's voice acting pool, for they are quite underrated and we need more dubs from them. Also, Magi-Nation is to me as Urban Vermin is to you, a show nobody ever discusses. Magi-Nation is a Canadian-Korean show that was also tryna be the next Pokémon but was a poor adaptation of the card game it was based on....which came out seven years prior. It's not bad as its own thing though. Not many episodes came out on DVD but it can all be found on RUclips.
One of my favourite Being Ian episodes is Hockey Night In Burnaby. I was actually born in Burnaby and spent a lot of time there as a kid, riding the Deer Lake carousel and of course the SkyTrain. After the train leaves Edmonds Station it passes by the operation and maintenance centre where all the trains are maintained and that’s a cool thing to look at. Anyways, Hockey Night In Burnaby involves Ian and his pals trying to save the organ that plays during Canucks home games in Rogers Arena (back then called GM Place), while Ian’s brothers try out for the role of the Canucks’ mascot (who’s just an anthropomorphic puck in the show while the real mascot is an orca named Fin). It’s hilarious and it even features the song Good Old Hockey Game, which used to be played on CBC before NHL hockey games started
Of course I remember and love 6Teen! Yvon I don't think I watched but you have me curious. Being Ian though! I kept seeing clips of it throughout and was desperately trying to remember the name. I'm certain I watched that. :) And don't worry Pikachu you're as cute as Hamtaro ;) Metabots also sounds hilarious. Never heard of it. :) I never watched InuYasha or Dragon ball growing up. But I've become a pretty huge fan of InuYasha's manga as of late mainly through another anime by the same author called Ranma, also dubbed in Canada funly enough. Though I never watched it on Canadian TV. Might have been a bit before my time.
I watched some of your vids since they popped up in my recommended and I gotta ask...... *How are you this nice, I didn't even notice it at first before switching back to stuff I usually watch that's actually super refreshing subbed*
+ TheCartoonGamer8000 Speaking as someone who lives in the country beneath you guys, I can say that some of those shows you mentioned like Stickin' Around, Reboot, Cybersix, 6teen, Being Ian, Martin Mystery, Captain Flamingo, Jacob Two-Two, and even Total Drama (the entire series from Island to All-Stars / Pahkitew Island) did manage to come over to our TV screens, too. Oh, and if I may say so... you guys managed to take a 1980s toy property and somehow managed to make it into something engaging. (Hint: It isn't the series about transforming vehicle robots from another planet). To that, I say... thank you and bless every single one of you from the Great White North.

@@TheCartoonGamer8000 Not just that I think its because we are alot more accepting of other cultures and such so we allow it just based on that.

This video is a godsend. The online cartoon community needs to see this video, Canadian animation deserves redemption.
alot of Canadian shows are bad but there ARE hidden gems
No the hell it doesnt, we americans agree that their on drugs
@@m.k.b.3880 as an American I think these shows are unique!

that #1 inuyasha search was all me. i take full responsibility for it and no,i will not stop.
martin mystery amd being ian are still some of my favorite shows
Same
Yo I just finished rewatching watching Martin mystery so nostalgic 🥲
Idk if anyone has already said this and I know this is like a year old however I highly recommend watching the original Japanese Sailor Moon because in the dub a lot gets cut out and it's genuinely really funny and cool and I love Usagi
I was shocked when I learned how many episodes didnt make it to dub one time qhen searching it on youtube years back honestly. I never realised how much I missed when watching it as a kid on TV
The biggest wave of nostalgia I've felt was when I heard the Gundan SEED ending years after I saw it on ytv, glad there were viewers out there telling them to keep them in.
Being a 90s Canadian kid, I believe we had it good.
Hamtaro is sacred show also I want to go to a hamataro rave at least once in my life
I mistake Ebichu for Hamtaro.
Mr Neddlemouse Hamtaro is an anime.
i actually had a pet hamster at the time this show aired and was always trying to watch it with him but he was ALWAYS asleep when it was on.>_
I grew up with Canadian shows also, and I'm from New Jersey, US. Several of these cartoons have leaked to American channels.
I love Medabots. Mr. Referee was indeed my favourite character in the show. I also remember Yvon the Yukon which was aired on CBBC in the UK.
I'm kinda wondered at no talk about like, most of the other stuff on YTV and Teletoon; I liked watching (other than most of the shows mentioned here and in Vol. 1) The Dumb Bunnies, Spliced, That's So Weird (basically a rip on MadTV), Almost Naked Animals, and Scaredy Squirrel; And for some periods of time, shows like Sidekick, Grossology, League of Super Evil, Storm Hawks, Rocket Monkeys, Captain Flamingo, Kid vs. Kat, Zeke's Pad, Edgar & Ellen, Jimmy Two-Shoes, Erky Perky, Viva Piñata, Grojband, Babar and the Adventures of Badou, Jacob Two Two, Camp Lakebottom, and George of the Jungle.

And yeah Ed Edd n’ Eddy is all Canadian, but EVERYBODY talks about it and how great it is.
you cant say clone high without saying say what
was clone high canadain? like...it's called "clone high USA". i'm PRETTY sure undergrads was canadian,though.

Here’s what I love about Being Ian: it taking place in Burnaby, British Columbia probably contributes to the chock full of movie references, since it’s part of Metro Vancouver, which is commonly referred to as Hollywood North.
God Yvon of the yukon was one of my favourite shows as a kid and now I really wanna see it again.
But the weird thing is that it was in english and not in portuguese, im from portugal and in here the only shows/movies that are dubbed are cartoons.
Yvon also cameoed In an episode of Being Ian. You can see him frozen is a block of ice. While Ian is at a museum.
Yup, and in another episode Kyle and Corey are watching an episode during a Snow Day.
I grew up in Buffalo and I caught a huge majority of these Canadian cartoons and they're pretty good so thanks for the retrospective
H A M T A R O. He's the star of every show!
Kushi kushi ticky ticky wooooooo!
Carl squared, being Ian, Martin mystery, so many old shows that I can finally remember that were stuck in the back of my head. Love the videos thecartoongamer8000
Its underrated how awesome they made Metabee in the Canadian dub of Metabots. I was always wishing Metabee, Rokusho and Samilodon were in Smash Bros.
It’s so odd. My parents worked as higher ups in Studio B (they made Yvon of the Yukon, Kid vs Kat, and Being Ian) and I used to think I was the only one who knew about those shows. It’s so interesting to see other people talking about them. While my mom is now making things The Hollow and stuff, I will always feel the most attached to Being Ian. I loved that show.
Oh, cool! I've heard some good things about The Hollow, too!
I literally thought I was the only person in the world to watch these shows.

There's one called Project ARMS, it stars Ocean Group VAs such as Kirby Morrow, Venus Terzo, Brian Drummond, Brad Swaile, Nicole Oliver etc. Where it was about a couple of Japanese teenagers learning they have been implanted with nanomachine bioweapons for limbs that they lost from accidents when they were children, and having to survive and fight back against an secret organization called the Egregori. Even going as far as traveling across America later on in the series. It was also heavily influenced from Alice in Wonderland, where their ARMS are named after Alice in Wonderland characters such as Jabberwock, White Knight, White Rabbit, Queen of Hearts etc. And there is even an character introduced later in the series named Alice. Shame the Anime never got to the manga's final arc and ending as the Manga it was based off of was finishing up in Japan back in 2002. Hence the anime made some liberties later on in it's 2nd Season called The 2nd Chapter.
Watching this reminded me of Freaky Stories, Bump in the Night, Goosebumps, Savage Dragon, Student Bodies, Etc.
Great shows
10:36 Sailor Moon was the first anime I ever liked and got into, it’s pretty cool how we’ve both watched it
Thank you for both parts of this! I went down a rabbit hole of Canadian commercials from the 1990s-2000s when a goof between me and my partner lead to me looking up "dont you put it in your mouth". Your video was recommended for part 1 and it is so well put together and even though I am canadian I didnt even know certain shows had canadian roots lile Cybersix (god that themesong was so good) or 6teen being fully available here but not fully available in the states
Oh my god it’s been forever but pleas do a Part 3. This is officially my favourite series on RUclips
Brook Lynne Dagnone Never said there’d be a follow-up, but never say never.
Well I really like Martin Mystery wand Classnof the Titans along with Digata Defenders. They seem different from the cartoons in America and I find Canadian cartoons to be fascinating as a fan of animation. I can't help but find excitement when I find a new piece of animation.
I never watched Hamtaro as a kid (I live in the US) but I do remember buying a Hamtaro book from my elementary school library when they were selling books.
It's always fascinating to hear about Cartoons I've never seen before (due to not living in Canada) and hearing about the memories of people who watched them Growing up or more recently
Total Drama may be the most popular Canadian cartoon worldwide (at least from what I've seen), but Yvon of the Yukon, Being Ian, and The Raccoons will always be the true representatives of Canadian cartoons to me. And it will always peeve me that the American-made Johnny Test for some reason has dethroned them as the face of Canadian cartoons.
6Teen aired on Cartoon Network in the US also Total Drama is still going, also Jacob Two Two was aired here on Qubo. Medabots was aired in the US on Fox, the current license to release DVD’s of the show is Discotek Media it was Shout! Factory until this year when Discotek Media got the rights to release Medabots on DVD and Blu-Ray
Honestly this series brought back a ton of memories. I wouldn't be able to tell you how well any of these hold up but here are some names that stand out in my memory...
Polka dot shorts/polka dot door
My goldfish is evil
Katie and orby
What's with Andy
My dad is a rock star (Created by Gene Simmons but only aired in Canada)
Slim pig
Nanalan (thanks YMS)
Dang, I remember lots of bumpers and commercials for Urban Vermin as well as a couple of placements for the characters in my WOAH! magazines (I still have em!) but for years after those shows moved on, all I could do was look back and just vaguely imagine what Urban Vermin as a show was even like. I'm glad you were a fan of it and I got to hear what it was like! Martin Mystery was one of my favourites so I guess that's the trade-off here.
The voice of Mr. Referee from “Medabots” also voiced Malachite (original name Kunzite) from the original DIC dub of “Sailor Moon”. I didn’t even know he was PAC-MAN’s creator in “Pixels”.
Many thanks good sir for reveling BEING IAN to me. Even since I saw one of it's episode's ON Cartoon Network Mexico back in the SUMMER of 2007, I've always wondered what show it was & why I never saw it before here in the U.S.
Old skool Medabots was frickin awesome! Wish they could put it on Netflix just for the nostalgic rewatch, even if it is just the dub cause that theme song kicks so much ass!😆
Maybe it is on Netflix, atleast not in my region
Same here I love watching shows my childhood.
All of the shows that you have covered from your childhood seem so cozy, charming, and amazing. I'm so glad I watched these two videos again.
Man, you give me a lot if nostalgia, man! My favourite commercial aired on YTV are the Pizza Pops commercials where a group of teenage boys who are bored watching TV refuse to listen to their dads who are in danger like falling off the roof, getting in an accident in the garage, attacked by the dog and stung by bees. I was wondering if you happen to have these ads?
Sorry, I don't.
In America there was a thing called Qubo and it would show a lot of Canadian shows. I would stay awake until 10:00-11:00 PM just to watch Being Ian
I'm super surprised you didn't mention TDI. That show was super popular here in the U.S. Heck it was actually the very first show I watched spoilers for. I discovered that it was Canadian and looked it up on RUclips. I found out who got out weeks before all my friends and classmates and felt super smart. Boy was it hard to keep quiet about the spoilers but I kept quiet so I didn't ruin it for everyone. Also I didn't realize Six teen didn't air several episodes here in America! Now I have to hunt them down.
Oh my God I almost forgot about medabots! I literally had to pause this video just to go watch the opening of medabots that was one of the greatest shows I remember growing up as a kid I think actually that was the first anime ever watched and got me into watching anime as a whole. Thank you cartoongamer8000 for reminding me of the awesome cartoons here in Canada.
Inuyasha is one of those shows I remember people actually liking the dub for the cast with people, even today and I loved the casting for how for a Canadian dub, all the voices seemed to fit the characters a lot. From how popular Sesshoumaru and Naraku's voices were in the fandom.
i swear hearing anime openings on TV was like...life changing. to this day, "asterisk", the first bleach opening, is just a pure hit of nostalgia
i can't even TELL you how much i adore inuyasha's "change the world" and "my will". that series was the first "grown up" anime i ever saw and it will forever have a place in my heart (even though i still have yet to watch all of it).
I dont remember being that into Medabots, but I do remember loving Medabee!!
holy shit man, medabots. The one gem I'd always forgotten the name to. Didn't know one of the directors for an episode went onto Gurren Lagann thats insaaaaaane
Omg at 21:30, the untalkative bunny theme song!!!! My dad worked on that show and we're still close friends with a lot of the crew
Aaaaahhh that’s awesome! I love that show!
6teen was a important show for my development.
I hadn't gotten around to bringing this up during our brief stint talking about Canadian toons (though, in all fairness, I kinda delayed my responses a tad), but when I was a young man, it was oddly enough Canadian toons that kept me going through my rough patches. I'll spare those reading the full details, but suffice it to say, I gained major respect for shows like Ruby Gloom, 6Teen and especially Total Drama.
Oh my god I completely forgot Urban Vermin! This was such a nostalgic experience for me.
"...there's two English dubs of Dragon Ball..."
*laughs in Big Green/Speedy/Blue Water/Harmony Gold dub*
Omg, so many of these were aired in The Netherlands.
Definitaly going to rewatch some stuff, you rekindled my love man, especially Medabots!
Also, I am going to do my first voice actor audition, so maybe we will work together in the future! :D
Mathinus Wolters Good luck, dude!
TheCartoonGamer8000 Thank you 😊
*Records over dragon ball thinking its going to be on forever to record spongebob.* god the irony.
The first episode they played of 6teen was the Halloween Zombie outbreak episode. I watched it when I was like 8 and it scarred me for such a long time!
2:26 surprisingly enough, Yvan of the Yukon did air in latinamerica in Nickelodeon, of all places. Personally, I always though to be a pretty bad show, but might as well I give it another chance, but good luck trying to find this in spanish...
You should have added Pretty Cure (That's) english name for the first season if you watch it because it was the first anime anyone in my neighborhood would say when watching YTV, I also enjoyed Being Ian and Ruby Gloom (I used to wake up early just for those shows)
I live in BC, Canada, so whenever Being Ian referenced a BC city like Burnaby or White Rock, it threw me for a loop.
Michael Roy Lol I just looked up White Rock and didn’t know it was real!
@@TheCartoonGamer8000 Haha yeah man! It's kind of a tradition to visit in my family as well :D
Nice! After reading up on it I'd kinda like to see it for myself one day!
@@TheCartoonGamer8000 If you're ever in the area you should. I mean it's a pretty typical beach town, but it's nice haha
surprisingly yvonne aired in the UK on Cbbc but only in the early hours of the morning like 6am or 7am
This and part 1 hit me for critical nostalgia damage. I also didn't know we got a different Dragon Ball Dub than the US.
Man, someone should do a 90s/2000s Canadian Animation zine. I'd join that shit so hard LETS GO
In fact, YOOOOUUUU should start it
I swear Yvon of the Yukon has one of the catchiest themes ever. I can't remember too much of the show itself but the theme? Yup.
TomatoGhost It’s got that effect on people, for sure!
After seeing this, you make me want to watch Dragon Ball! I'm playing Dragon Quest 11 right now, and the artist from Dragon Ball also made the art of Dragon Quest. I love the character designs so much.
good videos man they bring me back to being a kid haha, we had some wicked cartoons here in Canada, nice job again man keep them coming much love and respect thanks for the trip down memory lane
Inuyasha was aired here with the Ocean Dub and Funimation did aired with the dub by Ocean.
The Untalkative bunny theme at the end, 10/10
It’s good stuff!
I've watched alot of tv and most of these shows did air in the Netherlands we used to get alot of european/canadian shows but we also got all the american stuff so we pretty much had all the perks. I was suprised to see Urban vermin since I do not know the Dutch name of it. And I've never found it again until now I guess.
I've never seen 6teen...
I wish I'd recorded some Game Gurus, that show feels like a bizarre dream now. Never knew the host was our Metabee, that's pretty cool!
YOU NEED TO SEE 6TEEN
i agree with thecartoongamer8000: YOU NEED TO SEE 6TEEN.
I live in South Africa and they showed a lot of these Canadian cartoons on TV so I grew up with a lot these even Evan of the Yukon PS I've watched urban vermin
I would love to see a volume 3 on this series covering Martin mysteries, moville mysteries, mona the vampire, Jacob two two and other great things of early YTV. They really abandoned the be weird slogan and it's sad to see.
oOhhh No way! I thought Urban Vermin was a fever dream. I remember watching Bionix a good bit and immediately falling in love with Inuyasha, I started and lost track with the show when it initially aired. And it is a real shame that our output has been on the decline with kids shows I'm afraid are just not being the same with re-runs as to appease an audience that is growing tired of it. Now a small list of shows you might not have taken a look at:
Grossology: a show about 2 teenage agents fighting of things with science.
Cyberchase: aired on PBS and had Gilbert Gottfried as a bird, lots of math.
Flying Rhino Junior High: watch the intro, it is way catchier than it should have any right to be.
George Shrinks: a simple show with frankly some nice jazz every now and then.
Barbar: The early 2D one as the 3D reboot(?) was a bit odd from what I remember.
A Tale of Redwall: I'm surprised I still recognized it when looking around but man this show was intense at times.
Dragon Tales: It was the show that introduced me to dragons... I thank it for that.
Wibbly Pig: I remember catching its intro and a few episodes, lovely art style.
7 Little Monsters: I don't hear many people talk about it, a decent show with a jamming intro.
Grounding Marsh: Hard to find but, the intro is still up on RUclips, puppets still look solid.
Pipi Longstocking: I remember the intro so clearly that I sadly never got to watch the show.
Potatoes and Dragons: Wacky, simple, funny for what I remember, as much as I hate potatoes.
Stoked: Similar to 6Teen but a slightly more fluent design, hard to describe but I think its the same crew.
Nightmare Ned: A show that got me alone with the intro, hard to find but there is a game.
Mystery Hunters: The one show that I thank the most for reinvigorating my curiosity with life and science in general.
There was a lot going around when I grew up, some bad, others average or forgettable but, I'm glad I experienced them one way or the other.
My. God. it's like you lived my childhood. I thought I was the only one who watched Treehouse TV when I was a kid (I thought NO ONE would remember Rosabelle and Tansy) and then gradually started YTV as I got older (Sugar and Carlos are still the best hosts the Zone ever had). This video just brought back a rush of good memories for me. Big Comfy Couch, Ruby Gloom, Being Ian, I could go on. Kind of wish you talked a bit about Martin Mystery though, probably one of my definitive favorite shows whenever it came on YTV, I still watch episodes of it from time to time on RUclips.
I grew up in the USA but Totally Spies, The Amazing Spies, and Martin Mystery were all big parts of my childhood and finding out they were made by the same studio, and part of a shared universe, blew my mind as a kid because the Spies aired on Cartoon Network down here but Martin aired on Nicktoons Network (where Nickelodeon dumps the shows they have no faith in). Honestly it’s a shame that Canada has such a poor reputation now because I watched a lot of Nicktoons Network when the main channel was airing nothing but live action sitcoms, and looking back a lot of them were Canadian, and I remember a lot of them very fondly.
the hockey episode of being Ian is my fave aswell. TREVOR LINDEN!
Hamtaro Time! My childhood!
Nice video dude
i remember watching yvon of the yukon on cbbc and toonatik (uk childrens channels or block in the case of the later) it was one of my favourites and to be honest i would love to see some of the full episodes of the pretty cure dub again I found back in 2012 the UK version on youtube before it was taken down but the only version i can find now are the ones that have the japanese version with the english audio over the episodes but not the version that was on uk tv and canadian tv
This video brought back so many good memories. This video was amazing great job.
I got into Yvon of the Yukon and Medabots this year. They were both pretty awesome!
Rebel Fleet Trooper That’s awesome to hear, dude!
I can remember watching the first episode of 6teen on Teletoon. I was visiting my Greek grandmother and my parents came in to see what I was watching. The moment they saw the scene in the pilot episode where the taco girl spits in the food, my parents were so disgusted they forbid me or my siblings from watching it. (Still totally did though).
Hey! It's me Callum. I loved the video and didn't know about a lot of these Canadian shows. Also thanks for chatting with me and giving me advice. Hope I can talk with you again!
Dalton Aithe Hey, dude! It was great meeting you too. Glad you enjoyed this video and I wish you luck with all your future endeavors!
I effing *love* Toronto's voice acting pool, for they are quite underrated and we need more dubs from them.
Also, Magi-Nation is to me as Urban Vermin is to you, a show nobody ever discusses.
Magi-Nation is a Canadian-Korean show that was also tryna be the next Pokémon but was a poor adaptation of the card game it was based on....which came out seven years prior. It's not bad as its own thing though. Not many episodes came out on DVD but it can all be found on RUclips.
The YTV watermark is comforting.
I loved watching the dragonball series on ytv. So much nostalgia ❤️ I also loved the Canadian version of kid goku's voice!
One of my favourite Being Ian episodes is Hockey Night In Burnaby. I was actually born in Burnaby and spent a lot of time there as a kid, riding the Deer Lake carousel and of course the SkyTrain. After the train leaves Edmonds Station it passes by the operation and maintenance centre where all the trains are maintained and that’s a cool thing to look at. Anyways, Hockey Night In Burnaby involves Ian and his pals trying to save the organ that plays during Canucks home games in Rogers Arena (back then called GM Place), while Ian’s brothers try out for the role of the Canucks’ mascot (who’s just an anthropomorphic puck in the show while the real mascot is an orca named Fin). It’s hilarious and it even features the song Good Old Hockey Game, which used to be played on CBC before NHL hockey games started
Inuyasha was a amazing Show when it came out and Ocean Studios did a Great Job, it was my Favorite Show and It was also My Mom's Favorite
Of course I remember and love 6Teen! Yvon I don't think I watched but you have me curious.
Being Ian though! I kept seeing clips of it throughout and was desperately trying to remember the name. I'm certain I watched that. :)
And don't worry Pikachu you're as cute as Hamtaro ;)
Metabots also sounds hilarious. Never heard of it. :)
I never watched InuYasha or Dragon ball growing up. But I've become a pretty huge fan of InuYasha's manga as of late mainly through another anime by the same author called Ranma, also dubbed in Canada funly enough. Though I never watched it on Canadian TV. Might have been a bit before my time.
I watched some of your vids since they popped up in my recommended and I gotta ask......
*How are you this nice, I didn't even notice it at first before switching back to stuff I usually watch that's actually super refreshing subbed*
Marquis Maye I’m happy to hear that, dude. :)
he's canadian,duh.>;3
you sir earned a sub thank you for this series
Oh man Urban Vermin! I remember catching a few episodes of that on Dutch television
*SO. MANY. MEMORIES!*
the Canadian dub of Dragon Ball's Opening is based on the french opening
*Dragon Ball, la quête finale*
*_DRRRRAGON BOOL ZEDA ZEDA ZEDA ZED_*
still better than the American OP of GT
Wow, I never expected you to talk about anime in either one of the Canadian TV videos.
Great video ♥️ Hope you are well dude
Sitekick Thanks! Hope you are too!
Try if you can remember "Codename: The Boy" a forgotten but great Canadian show
Man thanks for this thinking back now I miss all these cartoons and the anime sadly Canada don't have much anime now. I miss Bionixs great video dude

TheCartoonGamer8000 Speaking as someone who lives in the country beneath you guys, I can say that some of those shows you mentioned like Stickin' Around, Reboot, Cybersix, 6teen, Being Ian, Martin Mystery, Captain Flamingo, Jacob Two-Two, and even Total Drama (the entire series from Island to All-Stars / Pahkitew Island) did manage to come over to our TV screens, too.
Oh, and if I may say so... you guys managed to take a 1980s toy property and somehow managed to make it into something engaging. (Hint: It isn't the series about transforming vehicle robots from another planet).
To that, I say... thank you and bless every single one of you from the Great White North.
i do remember urban vermin i also recall Weird Oh's!
Rescue Heroes! Rescue Heroes! Rescue Heroes!
