Hey, everyone! It's come to my attention that some people who are Latino/Latina don't like the label 'Latinx.' The articles I was reading for research referred to stuff as 'Latinx,' and I knew that some people preferred that. I was trying to be respectful to the community, but you guys have let me know you don't like that. I so much appreciate you guys letting me know, and I'll be sure to say Latino/Latina in the future. :)
Thank you. Latino is a neutral term in our language. And the whole latinx isn’t and shouldn’t be a replacement for Latino. I personally don’t like the whole latinx word because it really came out of nowhere these past few years, but if a person identifies as latinx that’s fine but as a group of people Latino is the best a preferred name.
@@crabfinated I'm from the United States and I watched many great shows when I was a kid like Rupert, Maisy Mouse etc etc. Before I watched Qubo I watched Anime on CW 4KIDS, CW 4kids toonami and WB Kids.
I was a fellow cable-less household. Pbs kids was the mainstay, but every so often I'd watch Qubo, and find interesting stuff now and then. Never would have seen nearly the number of kids shows I have without that channel, especially more obscure stuff, like "Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd century".
Qubo was a big part of my childhood as a kid. When the weekend was too far away for my favorite cartoons and PBS was just not cutting it for the day, Qubo was where I’d get my need met until 6 am Saturday.
@@crabfinated I... honestly loved all of them. Although, personally, my favorite show was Babar. Loved the Morales in that series. Edit: How about you? What's your favorite show?
I’m glad people are still talking about this channel! I used to love watching Qubo almost every day until it shutdown in 2021. It’s really sad that it’s no longer on TV anymore.
QUBO WAS MY CHILDHOOD It feels like a fever dream, lol. Nobody I know remembers it. I didn’t have cable growing up so I missed out on Disney Channel and Nickelodeon. Thanks for making this :)
I watched qubo a lot as a kid and with kids from my apartment and we watched for hours and tons of my favorite childhood shows were from qubo and when I remembered about it I wanted to revisit it but I saw that most shows weren't able to be found and were considered "lost media" but I'm happy some people remembered
My tale of lost media is the original Math Monsters. There's a remake but I remember a horrendously animated original version because there was an episode about ants and fractions.
i remember our tv didnt have qubo but anytime we went down to my great grandmothers house, qubo was the only cartoon channel she had. wild shows but mesmerizing. great video, keep up the good work!
Qubo was a massive part of my childhood even when we used to have cable. But when we moved to Illinois, and house after house, there is no cable. As of February 2021, Qubo was then officially discontinued which makes me feel rather disappointed, meaning that I can't watch any more of the Qubo content. Thanks a lot, Scripps. You've completely wrecked the best part of my childhood. I think you should go to hell.
Wow, what an amazing blast from the past to see this pop up in my feed. Qubo was a GEM that I still think about to this day. Their lineup was truly amazing. And even the later shows weren't that bad imo. It's just when they started gearing more and more towards younger kids that I really dropped off watching all together personally. I really miss channels and blocks that cater towards tween and young teen demographics of animation more-so than the very young kids stuff. Class Of The Titans, Jacob Two-Two, Bravestar, Being Ian, Sherlock Holmes In The 22nd Century, Animorphs. It was a good time to be alive lol and Yes, JTT was terrifying, but that's what made us AWESOME lmao
Now this is a good analysis, good job! I remember watching Qubo when I was young along with the other channels like Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, etc.

speaking of qubo, i actually got to contact ew scripps about the channel's shut down during a press conference which i was invited to, they said something like "we brought them out to be bigger" or something
OMG Qubo was my childhood. My favorite shows were Jane & the Dragon, Zula Patrol, Turbo Dogs, and 3 2 1 Penguin. I also grew to like Willa's Wildlife and Pearlie.

@@crabfinated it was a science education show with a host whose hair constantly looked exploded. it stuck in my mind for a part that covered how food/liquid get to your digestion system.
Man I remember Qubo, especially the 24 hour channel it had, which oddly enough I still remembered existing even around 2017 if I could recall some memories. It was a while back so my memories are a bit hazy on the details.
So when I was a little younger I used to watch Qubo at my grandma’s house since she didn’t have cable, but then my grandma’s tv stopped working and my dad got her a new one which is very different than her old one and has more channels, the last time I watched qubo was back like before 2019 or 2020.
I loved the Zula Patrol when I was in kindergarten. I even dressed up as the orange guy for Halloween! My parents made a custom papier-mache costume for me since there were none on the market
I was born in 2004 (currently 19) and I was 2 when Qubo launched in 2006. Qubo made me feel like the cool kid, every single preschool show that I liked was on Qubo, my friends didn't have Qubo on their analog TV, and they would always come over to my house to watch VeggieTales, Inspector Gadget, Franklin the Turtle, Alfred Hedgehog, Bob the Builder, Doki, Joe & Jack, Dive Olly Dive!, Justin Time, Pet Alien, Animal Science, and Fireman Sam while we ate bags of pretzels (and cups of mustard for dipping), apple juice, and we also brought round salted crackers from home to eat for a snack, those were the good times, they're all over now :(
@@victorplayz_, oh wow, I did not know Justin Time was from 2000's. I watched it when it launched on Sprout in 2010's, along with Poppy Cat, Barney, Chloe's Closet, Play With Me Sesame, 64 Zoo Lane, etc. I miss Qubo and Sprout. Those were my favorite channels to watch besides Disney Channel, Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network.
@ballorafuntime7567, I loved Jacob Two Two and I wish it was still on. I loved all cartoons on there that I wish were on Netflix or Disney Plus today. Jacob's theme song was really catchy, loved it. I didn't know Jacob Two Two was also a book until I read a Babysitters Club book about the wrestling book that was an episode. I miss Qubo and I want it back.
Qubo Channel was my JAM!! I really missed watching all of the amazing shows that has passed. My favorites were (And I still watch them till' this day): 1 Gofrette 2 The Zula Patrol 3 Shelldon 4 The Mysteries of Alfred Hedgehog 5 Rupert 6 Sitting Ducks 7 Jane and the Dragon 8 Babar 9 Timothy Goes to School 10 Adventures from the Book of Virtues And I also remember that me and my sister would stay up late just to watch the awesome shows from the 80's. Thank you for the video, I enjoyed it. It's great to see other people who grew up with this program channel.
Qubo was the bomb back when I was 10 to 12 years old. Some of my favorite shows on there were He-Man, She-Ra, Bravestarr, The Mysteries of Alfred Hedgehog, Pearlie, The Zula Patrol, & Jane and the Dragon. I've had so many good memories with those shows & I enjoy watching them with my niece.
I had cable but in my area in NYC, I noticed that there were relatives that didn’t have cable and they had Qubo. About a few months before my 14th birthday in 2014, I asked my mom to get me Qubo because i wanted to have the tv shows. Let’s say I was very lucky to not only have Cable but to have access to Qubo as well
I remembered qubo when you said it was taken over by Sprout I remember that transitional period wild I do remember some of those shows it was a fun time
Loved this! I remember my favorite show on qubo was class of the titans, I still watch it to this day! And I would love to see a video ranking all the qubo shows!
I know this is all about this 2006 children company for TV shows like Qubo but PVS kids probably outlasted Kubo and release very popular shows, especially in the early 2000s like Teletubbies, Sesame Street or Mr. Rogers neighborhood and super why… The stuff really affected kids all around the world especially in the US Not just for enjoyment and for learning, but also for nostalgia and for heart string tagging the most common sure I usually watch in PBS Kids is Sesame Street
Well, PBS also outlasted Qubo because it was a PUBLIC broadcasting service, so they were funded by the community. Qubo was in the private sector, so it's owners had the rights to shut it down.
Girl I don’t think they were looking up the white spider to thirst after him. There was like a meme a few years ago where people thought he looked like James Charles white face makeup look, so that’s probably why it comes up first because that was the most relevant aspect of the show in the present time
I hope you're right. There's still an insane amount of Rule 34 for him specifically, but I would be deeply at peace to know the Google was because of a meme
Another familiar tune you might recognize: "Who's gonna fight for what's right? Who's gonna help us survive? We're in the fight of our lives And we're not ready to die
My only complaint with this video is that you said Latinx, which no one that is a Latino likes to be called ( I would know, I am one ), other than that the video was a nostalgia blast and was a good video overall, definitely deserving of a subscription
I apologize! All the sources I saw referred to latino/latina as lantix, and I know some people prefer it. I appreciate you correcting me, and I will definitely keep that in mind for the future. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Qubo closed?! I had no idea. My brothers and I started watching Qubo (and Smile of a Child) back in early 2012 when we got over-the-air tv. Some of the shows were definitely not our cup of tea, but I remember having to watch them because there was nothing else on. XD The youngest of my brothers was too little to remember any of the shows, but my oldest brother and I could talk for hours about the odd selection of shows contained on thag channel. Idk why, but for some reason, it blows my mind that there are other people who watched, and enjoyed, Qubo. XD
@@crabfinated Oh neat! I'll have to watch that when it comes out. Will you be mentioning the absolute horror that was the show Cherub Wings? That show was downright terrifying. O-O Also I just noticed a typo in my previous comment. Ahem. _*That_
I grew up on Qubo, often watching it before school when I was in Preschool and early kindergarten. I adored the shows they had, and watched it for many years. RIP Qubo
I remember back in 2021 when some fool had the idea to create a creepypasta called Qubo Screen of Death, shiver me timbers I almost ended up in therapy, I reported a lot of them though but I still get haunted by recommendations of them 😭
I remember working on sell sheets for Race Dogs, along with Word Girl, the Goosebumps Revival, and 39 Clues, when working in the marketing department in Scholastic. I did watch Qubo for the late night shows from my childhood and Baber. I was bummed in 2001 when it closed, cause my kid who was 2 at the time liked some of the shows.
My family did had cable for a bit, but cut the cord when I was only like 5, and since my parents didn’t trust me with the internet at all, most of my childhood was spent watching local access television, with qubo being a huge part of that. You never know, sometimes being a broke ass kid pays off.(also class of the titans and being Ian were my SHIT! I remember staying up past midnight to watch those shows. )
I remember watching Qubo as a kid and I agree, the shows were bangers. I'm surprised that it extended to Texas where I'm from since it's an English Canadian channel.
I was crying realy loud when Qubo ended back in Spring 2021, but I'm 17 years old and now I almost grew out of it, also Fox Kids is amazing, who misses Fox Kids anyway? it's got some coolest action-packed cartoons and big kids shows there. even Cartoon Network Powerhouse era will be missed. even Boomerang from Cartoon Network.
im prolly the youngest mf to say this since im from 2004 but qubo was fuxking fire!!! i remember watching it before school every morning and watching it when i came home until i passed out on the couch lmao
YES I watched this all the time as a kid! Jacob two-two freaked me out as well. Wasn't there a show that played during commercials as well? I think it was originally Japanese. It started with a P I think. This was quite the nostalgia trip! And yes, I know of the donut man lol
born n raised in denver, grew up watching qubo, pbs, and smile of a child, found this hoping to find some sort of 24/7 Qubo stream on RUclips and this caught my attention. I feel so seen lol
I remember watching qubo for hours and hours with my sister when i was a kid because i didn't have cable, around late 2014 or 2015 i watched qubo less since i was watching nickelodeon more and cartoon network and the last time i watched qubo was 2019 luckily my mom recorded shows on qubo for me.
My memories of watching qubo were after when they started to add “sorry shows” and before I seen this video yesterday i had a conversation with a friend about qubo however i was losing him the shows because the only shows he mentioned that i knew were Jane and the dragon, and Jacob two two. The same goes for him because he tells me about how he watched the shows till he was six(hes 16) and i watched qubo from 3 to 10( im 15)but even his mom got in the conversation and talked about how the show with the elaphants were good, Hispanics love qubo but yea i grew up watching sally bollywood, famous 5, the show with the animals that solve mysteries just to name a phew however even tho i grew up in the sorry era of qubo the channel still holds so much value to me today
I distinctly remember watching it just for VeggieTales, but watching this video I’m quite impressed by the lineup they had! I never even knew that Theodore Tugboat was on it at one point! I remember watching a lot of Zula Patrol, but I remember seeing it through PBS Kids and not Qubo tho. Really great video and I’m excited to see what else you make!
@@crabfinated its my dads old antenna and i havent plugged it up in some time, but i believe it still ran qubo (very glitchy and badly tho) in 2022! I will have to dive in my closet to find it and test it then i will tell you results.
@@crabfinated sadly qubo disappeared on antenna. I calibrated the antenna 23 times and still no qubo. But after 12th recalibration i got ion and scripps. I checked with ChatGPT and it said i may have experienced repeats of old shows on my anntenna and eventually it chaught up and stopped getting qubo.
I Grew up with the Telemundo version of qubo. Which was awesome, but than when they had a 24/7 channel. My little kid mind was happy! I did not grow with cable also. so i watched it on the TV. I watched it everytime i cameback from school.
Qubo, PBS KIds, and Smile (on 50-3) were my childhood. Qubo was pretty much my favourite. Discovered it through ion kids. I was allowed to watch other stuff, but I stuck to the main three. Not even Netflix could keep me from it. The laptop only slightly. Then I slowly moved towards the laptop. I must have only gotten the good shows on Qubo, because I never saw whatever the Spider patch thing was or some of the apparently bad shows. I still watched TV until we moved. Some day in early 2022, I remembered Qubo existed and went to go check on it. But it was gone. 28-2 was gone. R.I.P. Qubo. You will be missed.
Mrs. Spider's Sunnypatch Kids is a classic, my friend. We stan the horribly 3D animated series based on the famous books. But, yeah, I totally felt the same. We also discovered it through ion kids! Kind of crazy that kids these days (I'm an old woman) will just never know about flicking through non-cable channels
I first watched qubo in the summer of 2009 and I enjoyed it so much. From 2009-mid 2012, I would watch it all the time. By mid 2012 I had moved out of my old apartment and I had forgotten about it. I finally revisited it in mid 2014 and it pretty much fell for me at that point. As time went on, I revisited it again in the summer of 2017 and it continued to go downhill. After that, I never watched it again. When it was shut down, it didn't surprise me. I miss those days from 2009 to 2012.
Smile of a Child hit me like a truck, i forgot about that for years. I asked a couple of friends of mine about Jane and the Dragon and Zula Patrol because I could vividly remember the intros but they didn't know what i was talking about and i thought i was going crazy lol.
@@crabfinated I don't remember if it was SoaC but there was one Christian children's show I can't remember the name of where there was no spoken dialogue, all the dialogue was done in ASL and dubbed over translated to English.
It's a shame Scripps closed down Qubo and not made it online only like they did Ion Plus. The only pure children's programming are e/i programmings from PBS, or TBN's smile.
@@newstarcadefan Exactly! Which is fine, but most of the shows are American-based shows, and I would love to see more shows from other countries like Qubo did
Qubo was one of my favorite programs as a kid, we were poorer and couldn't afford cable for a long while so of course I watched a lot of qubo and pbs kids. One of my favorite shows were the mysteries of Alfred hedgehog, Jane and the dragon, turbo dogs, the zoola patrol, pearly and so many more--
Thank you for the information… I too am old and I just finished hooking up an antenna. And I was so looking forward to qubo!! Because I had an antenna set up when my daughter was little and we would stay up just to watch HeMan. I was so disappointed after I got it set up again just learn Qubo was not there
This brings back so many memories!! qubo showed up randomly on my family’s tv set one day, and although I was a bit older at the time (I was a die-hard PBS kid growing up; we never had cable), several of the shows were just really fun to watch, such as Pearlie, Miss BG, Willa’s Wild Life, Jacob Two-Two, Marvin the Tap Dancing Horse (fun fact: I remember loving this on PBS when I was a kid), Adventures from the Book of Virtues (another childhood favorite), Being Ian, and Spliced. However, qubo also inherited my greatest childhood fear from PBS Kids…Lamb Chop. The giant costumed performer of Lamb Chop that occasionally showed up haunted my nightmares well into my teens. Although I did like Sesame Street as a kid, and I LOVED Between the Lions, I wasn’t really a big puppet person. 75% of puppets are just creepy to me. (Ironically, I never minded Barney and thought the Teletubbies were adorable.)
Jane and the dragon was my FAVORITE show cause I was always into dragons, but a show I never see being talked about is Sandra the fairy tale detective. That was another show I watched but I remember it also SCARING me, particularly this one episode with the dude with 6 wives then killed his 6 wives and I just remember that scene where she dropped the key in a puddle of blood and looked up and there’s skeletons of the wives. Have not seen that in YEARS, but I remember that traumatized me. Was it as bad as I remember? No idea cause I can’t find any clips of it. But I remember it getting dark at times. Cannot find much of it though I hope someone knows what I’m talking about lol
5:05 they still air this for some reason my internet broke on new years 2022 and I saw this commercial and I couldn't believe that they air a frickin commercial from 2008 also its weird knowing I'm as old as this commercial
So it’s basically nothing but just a showdown between PBS Kids and qubo and due to Qubo’s closing, popularity I think PBS kids had to win hand it down, unfortunately
I didn’t really start watching TV on my own until around 2010 when my dad had bought our first HDTV with parental controls making it safer for us kids to watch (We had guessed the passcode fairly quickly but we were good kids so we didn’t abuse that too much). That’s when at 11PM one night, I flipped the TV to Qubo, and I saw these old, almost Hana-Barbera looking cartoons that I knew were about to be good in that good old-fashioned way. Apparently the Filmation shows post Fat Albert had eluded me until this moment… Boy howdy I was having a real He-Man/Brave Starr phase for a while. I knew they were super cheesy but I couldn’t tear myself away from them.
@@crabfinated She-Ra was fine, but I liked He-Man's cast better. Orko and Skeletor for instance are so much better than Cowl and Hordak and it's not even close.

So when I was a little younger I used to watch Qubo at my grandma’s house since she didn’t have cable, but then my grandma’s tv stopped working and my dad got her a new one which is very different than her old one and has more channels, the last time I watched qubo was back like before 2019 or 2020.
Sounds like you didn't miss much before it died
I loved the Zula Patrol when I was in kindergarten. I even dressed up as the orange guy for Halloween! My parents made a custom papier-mache costume for me since there were none on the market
Oh my gosh that's amazing
"If you're a Disney kid maybe High School Musical"
Me who watched Playhouse Disney/Disney Junior:
I was not a Disney kid at all! But I could try, hehe
I was born in 2004 (currently 19) and I was 2 when Qubo launched in 2006. Qubo made me feel like the cool kid, every single preschool show that I liked was on Qubo, my friends didn't have Qubo on their analog TV, and they would always come over to my house to watch VeggieTales, Inspector Gadget, Franklin the Turtle, Alfred Hedgehog, Bob the Builder, Doki, Joe & Jack, Dive Olly Dive!, Justin Time, Pet Alien, Animal Science, and Fireman Sam while we ate bags of pretzels (and cups of mustard for dipping), apple juice, and we also brought round salted crackers from home to eat for a snack, those were the good times, they're all over now :(
Well they don't have to be over forever :) We can all enjoy Qubo, AND pretzels still exist!
@@crabfinated Yes :D But how are we able to get Qubo since it shutdown?
@@victorplayz_ Unfortunately we can't get Qubo itself, but we can watch the shows :)
@@crabfinated I know that :D
@@victorplayz_, oh wow, I did not know Justin Time was from 2000's. I watched it when it launched on Sprout in 2010's, along with Poppy Cat, Barney, Chloe's Closet, Play With Me Sesame, 64 Zoo Lane, etc. I miss Qubo and Sprout. Those were my favorite channels to watch besides Disney Channel, Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network.
6:30 The Qubo channel still existed as a 24\7 channel until 2021. It was the block on Ion television that had it's schedule reduced.
Jacob two two was scary, but you must admit, anything that scares us as kids become our all time favorites! Jacob two two was the bomb!
I'll have to see, that's for sure. I'm definitely going to rewatch it, but I have legitimate petrified fear of that show from childhood. Haha.
@ballorafuntime7567, I loved Jacob Two Two and I wish it was still on. I loved all cartoons on there that I wish were on Netflix or Disney Plus today. Jacob's theme song was really catchy, loved it. I didn't know Jacob Two Two was also a book until I read a Babysitters Club book about the wrestling book that was an episode. I miss Qubo and I want it back.
Qubo Channel was my JAM!! I really missed watching all of the amazing shows that has passed. My favorites were (And I still watch them till' this day):
1 Gofrette
2 The Zula Patrol
3 Shelldon
4 The Mysteries of Alfred Hedgehog
5 Rupert
6 Sitting Ducks
7 Jane and the Dragon
8 Babar
9 Timothy Goes to School
10 Adventures from the Book of Virtues
And I also remember that me and my sister would stay up late just to watch the awesome shows from the 80's.
Thank you for the video, I enjoyed it. It's great to see other people who grew up with this program channel.
Alfred 👏the 👏 hedgehog 👏
You are the first person to mention that. I'm so glad you did. And Sitting Ducks was my FAVORITE as a kid
Qubo was the bomb back when I was 10 to 12 years old. Some of my favorite shows on there were He-Man, She-Ra, Bravestarr, The Mysteries of Alfred Hedgehog, Pearlie, The Zula Patrol, & Jane and the Dragon. I've had so many good memories with those shows & I enjoy watching them with my niece.
A man of culture
I had cable but in my area in NYC, I noticed that there were relatives that didn’t have cable and they had Qubo. About a few months before my 14th birthday in 2014, I asked my mom to get me Qubo because i wanted to have the tv shows. Let’s say I was very lucky to not only have Cable but to have access to Qubo as well
It's honestly pretty awesome how many people were blessed with this channel despite not having cable
I grew up qubo and smile of a child and PBS kids lol
This unlocked a deep memory.
Do you remember any shows you liked?
@@crabfinated Rescue Heroes and Jane and the Dragon.
@@masterklaw4527 Yes a man of culture
Had no clue this was an actual network! I was familiar with the block that aired on NBC; would watch that one when i was young
I remember Qubo!!
I remembered qubo when you said it was taken over by Sprout I remember that transitional period wild I do remember some of those shows it was a fun time
Loved this! I remember my favorite show on qubo was class of the titans, I still watch it to this day! And I would love to see a video ranking all the qubo shows!
I know this is all about this 2006 children company for TV shows like Qubo but PVS kids probably outlasted Kubo and release very popular shows, especially in the early 2000s like Teletubbies, Sesame Street or Mr. Rogers neighborhood and super why… The stuff really affected kids all around the world especially in the US
Not just for enjoyment and for learning, but also for nostalgia and for heart string tagging the most common sure I usually watch in PBS Kids is Sesame Street
Well, PBS also outlasted Qubo because it was a PUBLIC broadcasting service, so they were funded by the community. Qubo was in the private sector, so it's owners had the rights to shut it down.
Girl I don’t think they were looking up the white spider to thirst after him. There was like a meme a few years ago where people thought he looked like James Charles white face makeup look, so that’s probably why it comes up first because that was the most relevant aspect of the show in the present time
I hope you're right. There's still an insane amount of Rule 34 for him specifically, but I would be deeply at peace to know the Google was because of a meme
I remember going to families house and thinking it was cool they had a channel I didnt.
And then one day my parents canceled cable
Once they cancelled cable did you get Qubo?
@@crabfinated Yeah, I watched it for one day and then gave up on TV and movies for the rest of my life
Another familiar tune you might recognize:
"Who's gonna fight for what's right?
Who's gonna help us survive?
We're in the fight of our lives
And we're not ready to die
Hero, of course :)
@@crabfinated And that is very popular. It has some strong Christian morals in the lyrics, probably because Skillet is a Christian-esque band
My only complaint with this video is that you said Latinx, which no one that is a Latino likes to be called ( I would know, I am one ), other than that the video was a nostalgia blast and was a good video overall, definitely deserving of a subscription
I apologize! All the sources I saw referred to latino/latina as lantix, and I know some people prefer it. I appreciate you correcting me, and I will definitely keep that in mind for the future.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
@@crabfinatedIt's ok, just wanted to let you know
Qubo closed?! I had no idea. My brothers and I started watching Qubo (and Smile of a Child) back in early 2012 when we got over-the-air tv. Some of the shows were definitely not our cup of tea, but I remember having to watch them because there was nothing else on. XD The youngest of my brothers was too little to remember any of the shows, but my oldest brother and I could talk for hours about the odd selection of shows contained on thag channel.
Idk why, but for some reason, it blows my mind that there are other people who watched, and enjoyed, Qubo. XD
Imagine my surprise to learn that so many people also watched Qubo! I actually have a Smile of a Child video in the works right now
@@crabfinated Oh neat! I'll have to watch that when it comes out.
Will you be mentioning the absolute horror that was the show Cherub Wings? That show was downright terrifying. O-O
Also I just noticed a typo in my previous comment. Ahem. _*That_
@@TheChristianFangirl Hehe, I summarize each program in one sentence and the one for Cherub Wings is 'the most horrifying baby you've ever seen'
The video's out!!
I grew up on Qubo, often watching it before school when I was in Preschool and early kindergarten.
I adored the shows they had, and watched it for many years.
RIP Qubo
I remember back in 2021 when some fool had the idea to create a creepypasta called Qubo Screen of Death, shiver me timbers I almost ended up in therapy, I reported a lot of them though but I still get haunted by recommendations of them 😭
I saw those when doing research, but there was no way I was touching it. My creepypasta days are overrrr
@@crabfinated Yes, everytime I'm happy on RUclips and a QSOD video pops up, it just gives me flashbacks and a frown
I remember working on sell sheets for Race Dogs, along with Word Girl, the Goosebumps Revival, and 39 Clues, when working in the marketing department in Scholastic. I did watch Qubo for the late night shows from my childhood and Baber. I was bummed in 2001 when it closed, cause my kid who was 2 at the time liked some of the shows.
I loved 39 Clues!
Maybe the only reason I knew about this when I was younger is because I live in Wisconsin. I loved Maggie and the ferocious beast.
Also Babar keep in Mind that I wasn’t born until 2011 and somehow I found these to aid my childhood.
I LOVED Babar as a Kid. Maggie and the Ferocious Beast was also a very fun watch.
Qubo was cartoon network for broke kids. I miss watching Pearlie on that channel.
My family did had cable for a bit, but cut the cord when I was only like 5, and since my parents didn’t trust me with the internet at all, most of my childhood was spent watching local access television, with qubo being a huge part of that. You never know, sometimes being a broke ass kid pays off.(also class of the titans and being Ian were my SHIT! I remember staying up past midnight to watch those shows. )
Same here! We had some good times on non-cable. Eat our Zula patrol toupee, Disney Channel kids
3:43 woah, I just got a wave of old memories, I forgot this show existed!
But were you scared of the show?
@@crabfinated I don't think so. I was pretty young when I watched it so I just have very vague memories of it.
So underrated this video was amazing and brought back memories
Well thank you so much!
God I loved Qubo, specifically Qubo Night Owl with Bravetsarr, the Ghostbusters, He-man, Spliced etc etc..
Qubo Night Owl made me feel so powerful when I was a preteen haha
Adult Swim for kids
Long live Qubo…
I remember watching Qubo as a kid and I agree, the shows were bangers. I'm surprised that it extended to Texas where I'm from since it's an English Canadian channel.
I got it in Ohio!
No, if Qubo was Canadian, it would be for adults…
@@TrustaMann It definitely aired in Canada, lots of people from Canada has told me about it! Canada has tons of children's programs as well...
@@crabfinated No, in Canada there was Family Jr.
@@crabfinated Well, wikipedia says otherwise
I was crying realy loud when Qubo ended back in Spring 2021, but I'm 17 years old and now I almost grew out of it, also Fox Kids is amazing, who misses Fox Kids anyway? it's got some coolest action-packed cartoons and big kids shows there. even Cartoon Network Powerhouse era will be missed. even Boomerang from Cartoon Network.
I miss Boomerang! I loved watching Scooby Doo on there
im prolly the youngest mf to say this since im from 2004 but qubo was fuxking fire!!! i remember watching it before school every morning and watching it when i came home until i passed out on the couch lmao
Not the youngest in the comments so far! I've had people who started watching as young kids in 2012. Which makes me feel so old.
@@crabfinated yeah lol i miss qubo its was one of my fav channels as a kid since i grew up watching antenna all my life lol
Poor kids who watched Qubo around the clock, sound off!
YES I watched this all the time as a kid! Jacob two-two freaked me out as well. Wasn't there a show that played during commercials as well? I think it was originally Japanese. It started with a P I think. This was quite the nostalgia trip! And yes, I know of the donut man lol
Pecola. You're thinking of the greatest show of all time, Pecola.
I remember watching Qubo when it was a television channel and the block on Ion Television looking at it back now, I had so much nostalgia for it
born n raised in denver, grew up watching qubo, pbs, and smile of a child, found this hoping to find some sort of 24/7 Qubo stream on RUclips and this caught my attention. I feel so seen lol
I remember watching qubo for hours and hours with my sister when i was a kid because i didn't have cable, around late 2014 or 2015 i watched qubo less since i was watching nickelodeon more and cartoon network and the last time i watched qubo was 2019 luckily my mom recorded shows on qubo for me.
2012-2015 was the prime years. And I get the shift from Qubo to Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon
oh my god there was a South Park reference 3:49
Its the intro to Jacob TwoTwo :) I see whst you're seeing though
Well also erred in other countries States else just raised in Florida because of Cuba really really not a good place because both are very expensive😅
@@crabfinated yeah it does especially look like Kyle SP
Here's a short name for South Park so the s means South and the p stands for Park
My memories of watching qubo were after when they started to add “sorry shows” and before I seen this video yesterday i had a conversation with a friend about qubo however i was losing him the shows because the only shows he mentioned that i knew were Jane and the dragon, and Jacob two two. The same goes for him because he tells me about how he watched the shows till he was six(hes 16) and i watched qubo from 3 to 10( im 15)but even his mom got in the conversation and talked about how the show with the elaphants were good, Hispanics love qubo but yea i grew up watching sally bollywood, famous 5, the show with the animals that solve mysteries just to name a phew however even tho i grew up in the sorry era of qubo the channel still holds so much value to me today
I distinctly remember watching it just for VeggieTales, but watching this video I’m quite impressed by the lineup they had! I never even knew that Theodore Tugboat was on it at one point! I remember watching a lot of Zula Patrol, but I remember seeing it through PBS Kids and not Qubo tho. Really great video and I’m excited to see what else you make!
Thank you for the kind words! I didn't know that PBS aired Zula Patrol!
I LOVED QUBO AS A KID it had so many great shows. But i can still watch them! I have an an old anntenna that still supports qubo!
Wait, really? Like, you can still pull up the channel even though they shut it down?
@@crabfinated its my dads old antenna and i havent plugged it up in some time, but i believe it still ran qubo (very glitchy and badly tho) in 2022! I will have to dive in my closet to find it and test it then i will tell you results.
Oh my gosh please do! I'm so curious to see if it'll still come up!
@@crabfinated sadly qubo disappeared on antenna. I calibrated the antenna 23 times and still no qubo. But after 12th recalibration i got ion and scripps. I checked with ChatGPT and it said i may have experienced repeats of old shows on my anntenna and eventually it chaught up and stopped getting qubo.
@@crabfinated i swear i watched inspector gadget and sidekick on that antenna in 2022. Oh well. That sucks.
I used to love Qubo at my Grandma's that had old shows from Canada and stuff OMG
Qubo was really good
I Grew up with the Telemundo version of qubo. Which was awesome, but than when they had a 24/7 channel. My little kid mind was happy! I did not grow with cable also. so i watched it on the TV. I watched it everytime i cameback from school.
What kind of stuff was on the Telemundo channel??
@@crabfinated well same qubo programming but in spanish
There is even a promo about the block
ruclips.net/video/XXx7suT_Tow/видео.html This is the promo
I remember watch qubo as kid so much memories I can't believe qubo is gone
I grew watching this after I no longer had cable. Has so many good shows.
Qubo, PBS KIds, and Smile (on 50-3) were my childhood. Qubo was pretty much my favourite. Discovered it through ion kids. I was allowed to watch other stuff, but I stuck to the main three. Not even Netflix could keep me from it. The laptop only slightly. Then I slowly moved towards the laptop. I must have only gotten the good shows on Qubo, because I never saw whatever the Spider patch thing was or some of the apparently bad shows. I still watched TV until we moved. Some day in early 2022, I remembered Qubo existed and went to go check on it. But it was gone. 28-2 was gone. R.I.P. Qubo. You will be missed.
Mrs. Spider's Sunnypatch Kids is a classic, my friend. We stan the horribly 3D animated series based on the famous books. But, yeah, I totally felt the same. We also discovered it through ion kids! Kind of crazy that kids these days (I'm an old woman) will just never know about flicking through non-cable channels
I first watched qubo in the summer of 2009 and I enjoyed it so much. From 2009-mid 2012, I would watch it all the time. By mid 2012 I had moved out of my old apartment and I had forgotten about it. I finally revisited it in mid 2014 and it pretty much fell for me at that point. As time went on, I revisited it again in the summer of 2017 and it continued to go downhill. After that, I never watched it again. When it was shut down, it didn't surprise me. I miss those days from 2009 to 2012.
Me too. That's exactly the experience I had
Look its the chin man, can you deny a spider with such a good jawline?
Yeah but like
Please 😭
Very informative!
Glad you thought so! I certainly learned a lot
Hey, why don’t you upload a video about Ready Set Learn? 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Ready Set Learn with Paz the Penguin? (I looked it up on Google). I've never heard of it, but I'll have to check it out!
@@crabfinated Okay, let me know what you think about it.
@@crabfinated Do you like my idea?
I would unironically watch a whole video about Jacob Two-Two. That was my jam back in the day.
Okay, it's time for me to make a Jacob Two-Two video *adds to list*
Smile of a Child hit me like a truck, i forgot about that for years.
I asked a couple of friends of mine about Jane and the Dragon and Zula Patrol because I could vividly remember the intros but they didn't know what i was talking about and i thought i was going crazy lol.
I'm glad to bring you closure, haha! Do you remember anything on Smile of a Child besides Bible Man?
@@crabfinated I don't remember if it was SoaC but there was one Christian children's show I can't remember the name of where there was no spoken dialogue, all the dialogue was done in ASL and dubbed over translated to English.
@@NwAgeRetro Wait. I vaguely recall the ads for that. Didn't they sing bible songs too?
@@crabfinated I don't remember
So, you were absolutely right. it's called Dr. Wonder's Workshop
It's a shame Scripps closed down Qubo and not made it online only like they did Ion Plus. The only pure children's programming are e/i programmings from PBS, or TBN's smile.
I really enjoyed Qubo too because they weren't specifically Christian content, which is nice for a lot of non-religious people, y'know?
@@crabfinated I know, PBS Kids is the only non-religious OTA kids channel out there.
@@newstarcadefan Exactly! Which is fine, but most of the shows are American-based shows, and I would love to see more shows from other countries like Qubo did
@@crabfinated That's right! They did have shows from other countries, and a Spanish Language version!
Qubo was one of my favorite programs as a kid, we were poorer and couldn't afford cable for a long while so of course I watched a lot of qubo and pbs kids.
One of my favorite shows were the mysteries of Alfred hedgehog, Jane and the dragon, turbo dogs, the zoola patrol, pearly and so many more--
A man of culture I see! Those were some of my favorites too. We couldn't afford cable either, so Qubo really did make us feel normal
o yeah i recall Jacob Two Two might rewatch it somethime if i don't feel to play any games
I'm planning on doing a watch party on Twitch soon! Feel free to join us!
Qubo was an amazing channel that I watched during my childhood when I wasn't watching Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, or PBS Kids.
I loved qubo so much me and my little brother would watch it all day and all night
Thank you for the information… I too am old and I just finished hooking up an antenna. And I was so looking forward to qubo!! Because I had an antenna set up when my daughter was little and we would stay up just to watch HeMan. I was so disappointed after I got it set up again just learn Qubo was not there
It definitely was the best part of having 'bunny ears'!
I thought I was the only one who watched this😂
I live in the US and I watched qubo all the time! I would watch that one newt show every day. I'm glad to see qubo being acknowledged
Did you watch is later in its life, then? Like around 2016 or so?
And then Somebody had the Idea to Ruin the Qubo Shutdown with a Creepypasta Countdown
I haven't dived into the creepypasta countdowns and I don't think I will, haha
Oh, dear lord, I actually almost ended up in therapy when I watched the whole thing thanks to my curiosity
if you look up and call the number on the creepypasta screen, it's a rickroll
@@N_Drogyny i know
@@N_Drogyny That's amazing
I grew up watching Sidekick Scaredy Squirrel Larryboy Maisy and Grossology
Maisy was my favorite as a toddler
@@crabfinated I used to read the books whenever I went to the school library and I had a DVD
Damn
I remember this channel :((
Sad it ended it's life so soon
I miss Qubo.
Me too
This channel had great shows
This brings back so many memories!! qubo showed up randomly on my family’s tv set one day, and although I was a bit older at the time (I was a die-hard PBS kid growing up; we never had cable), several of the shows were just really fun to watch, such as Pearlie, Miss BG, Willa’s Wild Life, Jacob Two-Two, Marvin the Tap Dancing Horse (fun fact: I remember loving this on PBS when I was a kid), Adventures from the Book of Virtues (another childhood favorite), Being Ian, and Spliced.
However, qubo also inherited my greatest childhood fear from PBS Kids…Lamb Chop. The giant costumed performer of Lamb Chop that occasionally showed up haunted my nightmares well into my teens. Although I did like Sesame Street as a kid, and I LOVED Between the Lions, I wasn’t really a big puppet person. 75% of puppets are just creepy to me. (Ironically, I never minded Barney and thought the Teletubbies were adorable.)
A fellow puppet hater! Yay. And yes. lampchop. was. horrifying
Sadly this hits too close to home as I too grew up with Qubo.
Jane and the dragon was my FAVORITE show cause I was always into dragons, but a show I never see being talked about is Sandra the fairy tale detective. That was another show I watched but I remember it also SCARING me, particularly this one episode with the dude with 6 wives then killed his 6 wives and I just remember that scene where she dropped the key in a puddle of blood and looked up and there’s skeletons of the wives. Have not seen that in YEARS, but I remember that traumatized me. Was it as bad as I remember? No idea cause I can’t find any clips of it. But I remember it getting dark at times. Cannot find much of it though I hope someone knows what I’m talking about lol
I don't remember the show being that violent, but man that's a specifically horrifying memory. I absolutely believe that that happened.
5:05 they still air this for some reason my internet broke on new years 2022 and I saw this commercial and I couldn't believe that they air a frickin commercial from 2008 also its weird knowing I'm as old as this commercial
That's so crazy!
My favorite used to be qubo night owl. Used to watcg it all tge time. So much nostalgia
Anyone gonna talk about the screen of death?
Nope! :D
Who knew that 80s nostalgic 2006 Christian-based TV company aimed at children could end up being so shallow
So it’s basically nothing but just a showdown between PBS Kids and qubo and due to Qubo’s closing, popularity I think PBS kids had to win hand it down, unfortunately
I didn’t really start watching TV on my own until around 2010 when my dad had bought our first HDTV with parental controls making it safer for us kids to watch (We had guessed the passcode fairly quickly but we were good kids so we didn’t abuse that too much). That’s when at 11PM one night, I flipped the TV to Qubo, and I saw these old, almost Hana-Barbera looking cartoons that I knew were about to be good in that good old-fashioned way. Apparently the Filmation shows post Fat Albert had eluded me until this moment… Boy howdy I was having a real He-Man/Brave Starr phase for a while. I knew they were super cheesy but I couldn’t tear myself away from them.
Omg I had the same experience, but the girl version. I was at my Grandma's and She Ra came on. What a time to be alive
@@crabfinated She-Ra was fine, but I liked He-Man's cast better. Orko and Skeletor for instance are so much better than Cowl and Hordak and it's not even close.
