How Canadian TV Shaped Me - Nitro Rad

- Опубликовано: 12 авг 2024
- Canada is a tad infamous for a handful of cruddy cartoons, but those are just a drop in a sea of amazing shows we had up here. Here's what I grew up watching, why it was awesome, and how it shaped me into who I am now.

#Television #Canada #YTV #Teletoon
Thank you for the wonderful response so far guys. I was really nervous putting this one out not only because it's very different from my usual neck of the woods, but also because it was very personal and close to my heart. Thank you all!
To be honest with you dude, anything you touch pretty much turns into gold :D And I think I am not the only one feeling this way.
Really enjoyed the video, and the message behind it and at the end. It really is impressive how shows can make us who we are, and that makes me think of the shows from a few years ago and the shows today.
It also showed a side which you don't usually see being talked about, childhood, but in a very mature and reflective way. Great job on the video!
Is 60fps the standard for video in Canada? Just wondering, because i noticed the frame rate of your camera you had as a kid is at 60
Nitro Rad it's good to have another Canadian talking a-boot a piece of culture exclusive to a certain part of the world. good stuff
Dude, nerdy stuff is nerdy stuff, besides ,it has been said, everything you touch turns gold
Teletoon
YTV
Family
Treehouse
Long ago the 4 channels lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when Cartoon Network attacked.
I mostly just remember the horrible ads of YTV. But i only had cable for like 2 years so i didnt experience most of it
Well hello there
Dominated, you mean.
Don't forget Tvo kids
this is the best comment on youtube
Fun fact about Martin Mystery. For the Canadian broadcast of the show they would often change the description of the location where the mystery of the episode is set in to move it to a Canadian location. For example that episode you mentioned about the one taken place in Nova Scotia actually took place in Scotland, that’s why the people had Scottish accent’s and the scenery and village looked like it was in Scotland, because it was. For international broadcast’s they showed the original intended location of the episode.
That's hilarious.
So was China just Vancouver ?
In french canadian, their university was located in the Shebrooke city , in Quebec, which the building was not the same as the real life one.
I Remember watching Teletoon retro, they played show's like "The Bugs Bunny and Tweety show", "The Road Runner Show", "The Pink Panther", Etc.
and teletoon at night when I was older.
loved that shit
I legit cried when it got cancelled
Oh, America has something similar called Boomerang. It’s basically Cartoon Network but it plays really old cartoons like the ones you mentioned (Ed, Edd, and Eddy was my favorite) and, I believe, cancelled Cartoon Network shows.
FiddleSkittle Oh man, I loved growing up with those shows in the 2000’s! In the UK, where I live, we don’t have Teletoon Retro, but I grew up watching a channel called Boomerang, who used to air an absolute ton of old cartoons ranging between the 60’s and the 90’s. Of course, we also had some 2000’s shows, but I remember it the most for the old shows as there were more of them than any other and they were only ever aired on Boomerang, no one else had them.
"Canadians are weird!"

Shoutout to Carlos Bustamante who left YTV after working his ass off for 16 goddamn years
Mad respect Carlos, you will be missed
Being from Saskatchewan I definitely remember Carlos and I agree he was pretty awesome.
For real. He was like that older friend/brother who'd wait for us after a long day at school and always chill and hang out with us
Wait he left?! Since when?!
Rip carlos. And the good cartoons :p
Sometime in the past few years. He's a host on Global Mornings now.
So class of titans was basically kid friendly Clone high
Yes but with fighting and gods.
More like Percy Jackson
@@cybersketcher1130 Who is that guy?
@@stg4theglitchog768 I think it's mainly an American thing, it's a book series about a camp full of demigods (called half bloods). The main character is named Percy Jackson who's the son of Poseidon.
@@cybersketcher1130 Okay and another thing, did you hear about Bakugan?
My body is honestly tingling with nostalgia at every second of this video. Canadian television and history is not very well documented on the internet. You did an incredible job piecing together the childhood of a Canadian in their mid-late 20s. I'm also from Newfoundland, not too far from you.
Even older teens/early 20s can relate to this, it’s great
i know right i feel like canadian tv is very overlooked and kind of overrated. at least when it comes to childrens programs. i mean they had a show about 10 year old girl who was the ansestor of sherlock homes and yeah she went and sloved cases as a random example and its a show that is rarely talked about.
Anyone remember Little Bear?
they're so weird, how they stand like real bears dude
So comfy, I could watch it any day of the week.
The High School I went to did a live performance of that show when I was a kid and my older sister played a role in it.
The music was god like
I do! that's my childhood's favorite cartoon, thank you for reminding me!
You should do more videos like this. Your gaming videos are top tier (been a follower since you were at 10K), but this was an awesome video! Reminds me of when BrutalMoose branched out into food videos. It's something I didn't even know I wanted, but I'd love to see more non-gaming videos on this channel!
I whole heartedly agree, I love discovering new stuff like this!
Ikr he's awesome at explaining this stuff. Just got a ton of new backlog to track down if games and shows keep sucking.
Makes me think of the other weird stuff Jordan Underneath does. :p
Too bad tribute channels had to reupload his game reviee ones though...
@@indigowendigo8165 Jordan Underneat is someone I miss =/
His new stuff is enjoyable, but I wish he wouldn't have abandoned his old format without really any warning. Very artistic individual. Love his content, not a fan of the way how quick he was to drop it though.
@@sambeckettcat I'm a big fan of Canadian TV. I'm U.S. born and raised, but I love shows like Corner Gas, Reboot, Letterkenny, Marvin Martian, ect. There's still so many cool shows I never knew about!
I've got Canadian friends that tell me cool things all the time, but it was great seeing NitroRad get into his own history ^.^
james: "How Canadian TV Shaped Me"
also james: *"BREAK TV"*
Class of the Titans was my absolute FAVOURITE show. It spawned my obsession with Greek Mythology. As a kid I'd force my mom to take me to the library EVERY single Saturday so I could read about it. And this went on for like 2 years. I swear I read every book on greek mythology that the library had. Most of which were obviously above my reading skill level, but I didn't care. I had to know everything lmao. Spider Riders was my #2. I still rock out to the theme song TO THIS DAY, and I'm 25 now LOL
Di-Gata Defenders, 6teen and Totally Spies was also favourites of mine. I never really WATCHED much of Delilah and Julius but MAN I was obsessed with the game on teletoon's website lmao
Ironically a few days ago I was talking with a coworker about old cartoons AND SHE SAID HER FAVOURITE USED TO BE ANGELA ANACONDA. I had to just walk away. I couldn't handle that answer lol
Isn't that just Percy Jackson in a actual school House
@@thegamingdoggo9519 pretty much
@@thegamingdoggo9519 no, no don't go there
Angela Anaconda still gives me nightmares.
So you mean there was a cartoon, that was all about the mythology of my homeland and we never took a translation here in Greece.
I mean we had translated Canadian cartoons, like What's with Andy, Totally spies! Total drama, what happened with Class of titans.
I mean I was watching cartoons all of the times cartoons as kid and teenager and I newer knew this one existed 😤😤😤
*Im South African & you just opened my eyes to how many hows i grew up watching that were Canadian*
brooo same
Thank you for this video. So much canadian nostalgia
CANADIAN NOSTALGIA?!!? I don't even like canada.,
As a french guy, hearing about Kid Paddle on your channel suprised me a lot and make me really proud !
Kid Paddle comics and animated series was my childhood
Oh t'es partout toi
@@Sonilink713 Faut bien s'abreuver en vidéo de qualité, même quand on en fait soi même ;) ;)
@@PuNkY-fr C'est sur par rapport à ça (et que j'ai gagné le succès à répondre à un commentaire vide d'un youtubeur connu xd)
This is my absolute favorite video by you. I may not be Canadian, but I deeply appreciate the in-depth look at some shows I had no Idea existed. Plus, your comments on Totally Spies, personally, for me, made me even more comfortable with who I am and what I like.
Overall, seeing the nostalgia you have for these Canadian shows and the channels behind them reminds me of my own nostalgia for the more obscure shows broadcast in America, and also reminds me that, although we may have different experiences, we all have that one thing we are personally nostalgic for, and that has shaped us into who we are today.
and finally, that ending may seem very sappy to some people, but it makes me emotional every time, because you're absolutely right, and it makes me realize how much what I grew up with effected me, and how I wouldn't be the same without those experiences.
All I have to say is, amazing work, and thank you for making such a great video. Props to one of the best RUclipsrs on this site. Much respect to you, Nitro.
This felt somewhat personal Nitro and man that ending hit the heart strings, these shows aren’t always just shows for us folks, they also remind us of our short time in that short frame of being a child, discovering and growing and a lot of these shows let us be a tourist in our youth once more.
Thanks once more Nitro for the superb video, stay Rad.
Perfect explanation.
Literally just 40 minutes talking about his childhood. The most wholesome thing I've ever seen.
this literally makes me so nostalgic I'm 18 and a half and i remember when teletoon switched to the new style i thought it was cool as hell but when the detour started it made me feel edgy and i watch bill and Mandy and futurama and feel like i was staying up late and try to hide it from my parents although those only aired at 9 and 9:30 god those are good memories :p
This video is amazing! It's so uncommon for reviewers to speak positively about western animation, especially Canadian animation and ESPECIALLY shows from obscure shows from the early 2000s, it's really pleasant to see something like this. I would LOVE to hear you talk more about animation/childhood memories in the future. 🙂
Not Canadian so I didn’t have any nostalgia for any of this but i could seriously feel your love for these shows and no matter how this video performs I want you to know that this is in my opinion the best video you’ve made and I’m insanely thankful for it.
detentionaire was the most intense conspiracy breaking wish-fulfillment I've ever experienced and absolutely not a single person I know remembers that show in the slightest smh
i remember it
I remember it because the opening was r a d
I remember it but never got too far.When I looked it up years later and saw how the story just devolves into batshit crazy stuff, I figured it was for the best.
@@vinnythewebsurfer as someone who did watch it all, I can get behind that. To put it lightly, 1st season's interesting, the rest is a crapshoot.
Detentionaire is still one of my favorite shows to this day - I was so obsessed with it when it came out. It was so good!!
A lot of these shows came to Australia as well. I have seen some people watching TDI and Stoked even nowadays.
The theme song to Being Ian has been living in my head, rent-free, for well over a decade now.
I screamed when you brought up the weekenders! Nobody EVER talks about that show, but it was one of my favourites as a kid! Also, it's just really great to see someone actually speaking positively of Canadian programming. We get such a bad rap in the US...
The world of Canadian cartoons was always interesting to me, so its pretty awesome to see some shows I've never heard of. Some of them I have seen here in the states, The Weekenders and Ed Edd N Eddy were ones I would watch as a kid. Matt Hill kind of gave me the idea to check out Canadian cartoons.
Emilie best show on family
@@cobanjo IDK, Fillmore still probably takes my vote.
The theme song was awesome for that show! I used to run around my house singing it!
This was an amazing video, and a big nostalgia trip. Shows like Being Ian, Monster By Mistake, Martin Mystery etc. were amazing and I agree with you, I think I'm very lucky to have grown up with them. What I would give to go back... Haha
TetraBitGaming tetra has no likes?
Martin Mystery has a creepy soundtrack that is severely underrated. The creepy tracks gives me chills to these days
My favourite Canadian show probably Detentionaire. It's kinda sad you didn't talk about it.
“LIGHTS OUT”
as a quebecker you've just unearth some deep memory from me i'm so glad i watch this video
Sauf que nous c'est vrak tv qu'on à la place de ytv.
Ouai!
@@quatreunhuit On avait aussi Radio-Canada et Télé-Québec qui passaient des émissions pour les jeunes
Holy crap. This video speaks to me dude. As a Canadian growing up with YTV, Teletoon, CN, etc. I am really happy to hear somebody talk about all the unique bumpers, hosts, voices, and after-dark transitions these channels had. The commercials and PSAs were always very memorable too, and I am SOOO glad you brought up the Canadian House Hippos. That one is and still is one of my favorite things I've viewed on TV. I have no idea what it meant back then, but I just remember seeing it late at night, or when I was home from school. I also remember this one where a kid gets a really cool Pokemon card and it blows away in the wind and he tries running for it but he runs out of breath and it just blows away or something. Interesting yet nostalgic stuff. And Carlos was always such a chill dude. The visual style of the bumpers and uniqueness of the brands will always remain burnt into my memory.
Being Ian was always a nice show to just relax, eat some cereal, and watch the crazy events unfold. His brothers were always interesting and funny characters. I always distinctly remember this one scene from an episode where there's a fly in one of their cereal. I don't know why, but it's something that I've always kinda just... Remembered and laughed at haha. Wayside. Oh MAN. I LOVED viewing that show every single time it aired. It's premise and environments always spoke to me on some weird artistic level, and I loved the character's designs, voices, and personalities a ton. I still think about this show to this day. I really love the gazebo episode where Principal Kidswatter thinks a gazebo is a casino. Todd was always a fun protagonist. I thought the three Erics was a hilarious idea, I always loved Myron's ambitions and relationship to Mr. Kidswatter, Mrs. Jewls sending Todd home on the kindergarten bus was always funny to see, and much more.
Nelvana is always an iconic as heck logo to me. I always enjoyed watching Babar at my grandparent's house late in the evening on the couches. Maggy and the Ferocious beast was always an interesting show too haha.
6Teen was always a nice show too, I liked viewing it. And Total Drama was an absolute thrill-ride. While I don't like it as much nowadays, the first two seasons were great. Owen is by far my favorite character.
DUDE THAT EPISODE OF WAYSIDE IS THE ONLY REASON I KNOW WHAT A GAZEBO IS LOL
HOLY CRAP I REMEMBER THAT PSA WITH THE CARD!!!
I can't remember if this psa was from the same people but I remember one with this blue monster thing on a t-shirt with the lyrics "you gotta balance food and activity, working together body electricity" that and the pokemon card one you mentioned were the 2 I remember the most
Over here in the US Martin Mystery aired on Nickelodeon while Totally Spies aired on Cartoon Network. So we got our own little YTV/Teletoon weird airing stuff. I enjoyed Totally Spies but Martin was way more my style. I honestly thought the shows were made in France (Because of France 3 being a production company) but didn't care either way because the shows i watched I was enjoying.
Also (I know not directly on Canadian programming but just felt mentioning) just want to say Canadians also helped shaped the American programming block for American cartoons here. Because companies like Nelvana got the rights to series like Beyblade, Canada had already dubbed them and the Americans had purchased rights to air them here. Lots of anime dubbed in Canada had gotten broiught here and only by American companies like Funimation secured the rights for dubbing and distribution
Also a show like Ed Edd n Eddy (which has HUGE appeal here in America and internet culture today) was spearheaded by created by a Canadian: Danny Antonucci. I wanna say in that a lot of people's comedic timing, and sound effect ques are in part because of that show
in brazil totally spies aired at fox kids lol
Also some older Canadian shows nowadays aired on Qubo.
I freakin' loved Spider Riders, Class of Titans, and Being Ian! Dude, this video is freakin' great. Like there is so much goodness here and... gosh damn.
Great video. Martin Mystery and Mystery Hunters were my absolute jam. Also, thank you for mentioning Zixx, I couldn't remember it's name for the longest time
30:47
I thought that was you for a second!
Bro, ur cool. Ur so down to earth and just chill. I like ya!
johnny test being a Canadian show because it's animated in Canada means we get credit for tangled the Mickey Mouse shorts, and loud house. To name just a few modern ones. SO many cartoons are outsourced to Canada because of a loophole in a law passed that, without getting into it, basically makes animation very cheap to produce to try and encourage Canadian film production. Mainly just get's used by the US for cheap animation. sooooo if you're gonna blame us Canadians on Jonny test we'd like full and complete credit for those ones then as well thank youuuu.... THAT ASIDE this actually really warmed my heart, I am an animation student and grew up bindge watching so many cartoons I barely remember them all so watching this and recognizing all of them really made me happy! We sure do get a bad rep but I really hope this shows that we had some pretty cool ones too for the people who live outside the country. I honestly forgot how many we had, like remember world of quest and Spliced? and team galaxy? Man, this was quite a ride!
Too bad Johnny Test isn't Canadian
@@Treetops27 Indeed. The show's creators themselves were American, and I did read that the first season was actually made in America, unlike the rest of the series, though don't quote me on that one.
Dude I love the way Loudhouse is animated in that case. It uses more modern looks but it feels like a newspaper cartoon that has been animated exactly as i think it would be. and it's sick.
If most shows are made in Canada on the cheap, I feel the hate comes from using the same general flash look. Some US cartoons like Fairly Oddparents also switched from a more traditional look to flash which is really jarring for people who watched it for that long and they just related to it stuff like Johnny Test. I still feel that as long as you have good writers and a diverse voice cast you can turn any type of animation style into something at least decent.
Using the argument of the country of origin is kinda dumb. The first My Little Pony cartoon was animated by Toei animation and AKOM, who also did the animation of Arthur, but no one considers MLP an anime or Arthur a...whatever you call Korean cartoons.
Just found this and it was a freaking nostalgia trip man. It has been years since I thought of being Ian and watching YTV
As a Saskatchewanian, this video really spoke to me. Being Ian sparked my interest in film production and I recently got accepted to Vancouver Film School :)
Ruby Gloom, Prank Patrol, Sagwa, Totally Spies, Zoboomafoo, I liked Jacob Two-Two and Johnny Test don't @ me, Arthur, Franklin, Atomic Betty, 6teen, Being Ian, Maggie and the Ferocious Beast, Max and Ruby, My Dad the Rock Star, and Yakkity Yak are some of the shows I remember watching when I was a kid, as well as some live action craft shows I don't recall the name of
I know them very well.
The only live action craft show I remember is Art attack
It was from England but it aired in Canada too
We in australia got most of those without pay tv
@@jaydenpratt852 You're pretty lucky getting all these treasures I had as a kid.
I remembre zoboomafoo was aired on télé-québec that was fun 😁
Ed, Edd and Eddy is the first canadian cartoon that comes to mind
I loved that show.
Same
"Canadians are weird." - Ed
@@NeoShadowWolf if anything this channel proves that this quote is true in the best way possible
Ed, Edd and Eddy is one of my favorite childhood shows period.
Its frustrating there is no place available to stream it in full.
I will say, the shift to them going to school killed it though.
I'm not canadian but I'm surprised how many of these shows we had here in South America, either via public TV or Nickelodeon
I remember watching literally every show in this list, either to completion or a majority of seasons in Nick, Megavisión (when I was in Chile) or Paravisión (When I lived most of my life in Paraguay) Animax and Magic Kids.
I wanna say maybe because they were cheap to license, these weren't extremely high budget channels, but they still aired a biiiig amount of anime and cartoons.
O MY GOD. I loved everything about this video. I had just finished work and was just looking for any silly video to watch to unwind for a few minutes b4 bed. I didn't expect to stay up so late watching something like this. I don't have the best memory so seeing all the different show bumpers and transitions just blew my mind right back to when I was a kid. I recognized so many shows that made my childhood and a few i never really gave a chance. growing up i lived in front of the tv but i never really thought of any of it as Canadian programing it was just the best stuff on at the time. I cant even imagine what television looks like in other parts of the world. you gave me a lot to think about. instant subscribe.
Total Drama Island actually has some legacy among American cartoon fans! TDI was one of the earliest non-action cartoons to air in the States that had an on-going story, and was also one of the few non-Toonami shows on Cartoon Network to be given a TV-PG (the second one too if I recall correctly) rating before Advemture Time and Regular Show came around.
Not the earliest, Xialon Showdown, later seasons of KND, 2002 He-Man and the Unicron trilogy all came before it, but it was one of the most impact for sure! A good friend of mine had some sort of disorder, so he had some trainer who had to keep an eye on him at certain times (nicest guy in the world, I tell you), and we would catch him up on the plot of the show whenever we met. Good times it was.
Never got into the sequel series though. I feel like the magic was kind of lost afterwards.
So many of these shows have the English and French voice actors plaguing my memory at the same time...
Such is the curse of a bilingual Canadian....
I know this is an old comment but it hit home lol. I grew up in NB. My dads side are all french and my moms side all english so I watched so many shows in both english and french. French dubs were usually such poor quality lol
@@jaded9436 That said, the Quebec dubs were usually top notch, namely The Simpsons adaptation
Not named Caleb but from NS and can confirm, me and my friends were unreasonably angry over Martin Mystery.
OH MY GOD, what a nostalgia trip!!
It was so great to be able to remember all these shows!
I'll be the first to say that I didn't like Being Ian when I first saw it, but I was probably too young to really understand any of it (I was like 5 or 6).
...man.
The nostalgia has been injected directly my veins!
Tbf, i felt neutral towards the show when i was around that age too, but now i am a filmmaker and it's became one of my favorite cartoon shows
Not Canadian, but I remember TDI being the first show that I made sure to follow each new episode as they came out. It was the first show that gripped me with what would happen in the next episode.
I constantly watched Totally spies as a kid
Watched a bit as a kid. Damn, it was Fetish Fuel: the animated series
damn that show was my favorite of all
I loved that show! I live in England so I would switch my TV over to Pop as soon as my parents fell asleep just in time to catch the Nightly Totally Spies Double!
Sadly they only ever seemed to show season 1 and season 3 episodes.
I haven't watched it in a while so I might just plug my ariel back in and put on some Pop tonight to watch (I use nowTV instead now)
I did too! :D
But now I have a fetish for feet, furries, fat, and bondage :(
@@theinternetexplorer7873
I admit the show was a bit fettishy at times, but ignoring those parts it was just a solid spy show!
I'm so greatful that you made this video, I grew up watching all of these shows as a kid. Im a French Canadian and loved both kid paddle the show and the book series. FYI kid paddle also had a "secondary" side series called 'game over', and it's all about the video game character kid plays throughout the series. You really get to appreciate the art style used and how much 2000s vibes you get from them, I totally recommend getting into them if it interests you.
UGH the nostalgia! i got to meet carlos once when i auditioned for the next star in high school and i freaked out
Massive shout outs to Carlos and Sugar. Still remembered their names after all these years.
Carlos is on Canada's E Netowrk. Really weird seeing that.
Can't believe you didn't mention Storm Hawks, but at least you talked about Being Ian
Maaan Ioved storm hawks still really disappointed that it ended where it did setting up a season 3 but it never came to be
I own the two seasons, we needed a third darn it ^^
Didn't bring up Storm Hawks, Bakugan's legacy in Canada, and the insanity of the Donkey Kong series. Honestly, there's a ton he missed, but it goes to show just how much history there is to unpack.
I have the hold first season on DVD it suck Season two never got dvds. That show is my favourite.
I loved Storm Hawks. I managed to find 2 sets of DVD's with some of the episodes last year and I just had to get them on the spot.
Sure. They called it Meatballs, but I always heard it as Meat BALLS.
I grew up in Florida, but I have rewatched this many times since you've uploaded. It's so interesting to see someone else nostalgia explained like this, and I love how you represented each channel!
I'm older than you so I didn't grew up with these but I know for a fact that many of these shows aired here in Sweden which is pretty rad.
Yes! I watched a few of these when they aired in Norway, and I've actually been looking for that 3D animated one with the psychic powers for years! ...and I've already forgotten the title, aaaaa.
Everything you showed in the video I recognize vividly. Ah man... I remember so much about YTV, I recall even going on the website to build my very own sidekick and play various flash games that have sadly since been deceased. I am sad to say YTV today just isn't what it used to be, I even got hyped about the contests they ran that I always wanted to participate in but never had to chance due to limited knowledge and my parent's lack of interest. And as I watched this video, I can't help but thank you for jogging a lot of my memories of all the things I enjoy... I'm in tears as I am typing this on my extended keyboard. Thank you Rad, I'll first finish the video before making something for you on twitter.
Sounds just like Cartoon Network's flash games when I was a kid, or PBSKIDS.org few entertaining flash games (mostly the CyberChase ones)
YTV.com was the BEST, man! SideKicks were SO damn cool. I remember watching the trash bin and trading bins religiously to find a Camera chip, just so I could get my avatar for the forum. Never did find one, but I DID find some really cool chips nonetheless. And don't forget the Weekly chips that gave you minigames concerning the Professor! :D
Oh, god this was such a delight to sit through! I've watched a lot of nostalgic youtube stuff and at most it kinda clicked with me but I just never got a lot out of it. This though! Man, I'm also a Canadian dude and I remember almost every show you talked about here! This was such a trip, extra kudos for talking about Teletoon and YTV, this all just really brought me back. I have a lot of tid bits to talk about so I'll come back and put 'em in other comments but I just wanted to say that I love this video! Good job with this, dude!
i know this video is pretty old at this point, but i just wanna say i love how much of a genuinely positive guy you are. and that applies to pretty much all of your content, but really this just felt like a friend telling me about some stuff they watched growing up. i love that sort of tone man, i'd like to see more videos like this in the future too.
Perfect thing to cheer me up while trying to cope with the SBFP breaking up. Thanks, man. The moment you said you got some Canadian RUclipsrs to talk about their favorite shows I was totally expecting Woolie to be there at the end just to die on camera saying the word Reboot.
"...it was huge here in Nova Scotia..."
Wow, small world. You don't find many people from here, on here. Appreciate what is a history lesson for my childhood, because it was full of brilliant cartoons. Thanks for the nostalgia trip, from a native.
Im nova scotian too and was just thinking the EXACT same thing
what's with the sudden attention on this post? Must be the algorithm.
I'm an American, but I watched a lot of Qubo growing up--Qubo is an American TV channel that airs some Canadian cartoons. I loved Jacob Two-Two and Janes And The Dragon.
Outside of that, I also watched Detentionaire, a school mystery show about a kid who got framed for a year of detention--THAT SHOW KICKS SO MUCH ASS! Such a great unfolding mystery. Who else remembers that show?
I just discovered you through my RUclips search about the highs and lows of Canadian children's programming, and it was a welcoming surprise to see a content creator from the same country as me, talking about nostalgic television from the Great White North in ways not enough people do. It needs to be documented so much more, for there is not enough Canadian content on this platform.
Thank you so much for this delightful trip to the past. Keep it weird. ✌
Surprised by no mention of Flying Rhino Junior High, however, great video full of nostalgia.
Oh man, I remember that show. The theme song is playing in my head right now.
This and whats with andy are what i grew up with... wonder what happened to Carlos of YTV...
One reason for that is probably because it usually only aired either during school time, or extremely early in the morning up here. I remember enjoying the show, but being frustrated that the only time I could watch it was when I was home sick.
Did you know:
The voice actress of one of the protagonists, “Ruby Snarkis,” also played the _roll_ of Roll in the MegaMan Legends series.
A real world class giggler that girl~
This was a really round-about way to explain that you have a thing for giantess girls.
I felt really called out there, oof
holy shit dude, your thumbnail just give THIS Canadian a HUGE nostalgia blast. I'm pretty sure Being Ian is the reason I wanted to get into film making
Great video man this was a pure nostalgia trip from beginning to end and you did a great job of discussing each show as well. I've Gotta say it's great to see light shed on these childhood favourites especially from a provincial neighbor of mine! I live in New Brunswick and remember just about all of these. Anyway great work you earned a like/fav/sub from me.
I really enjoyed "Fries with that" as a young kid. I still kinda do in an ironic way, but its flaws are definitely more noticeable now that I'm a little older. The manager character Ben is unironically still really enjoyable, though.
Didn't Prank Patrol Andy show up in one of the episodes?
Can't remember if he did or not tbh. Prank Patrol was a banging show as a kid, though.
@@jimmyjuice697 Hell yeah. Speaking of Fries with that, it reminds me of that one tennis show, 15-Love. I actualyl watched and enjoyed that as a kid for some reason.
The great thing about living in Argentina is that here in Latin America we got shows from both the US and Canada. And, as a kid, you couldn't tell the difference so you'd watch it without any judgements. It was all the same for me. I'm so glad to find out A LOT of my favorite shows as a kid were from your country, dude. This video was a blast for the past. I loved Being Ian, What's with Andy, Martin Mystery and Totally Spies.
But the show that shaped me the most was Total Drama Island. I was obsessed with that show when I was a teen *(Sorry Alax, but Total Drama was waaaaaaaay better than 6teen!)* I was so obsessed with TDI that I did some research on it back then only to find out it was canadian. Here in Latin America we consume so much american entertainment that we have almost 0 knowledge of your country. So TDI gave me a good image of what Canada was and why it had raunchier humor than your tipical american show.
Overall, this was a great video, James. I'd love to see you talk more about Canadian stuff like this because, again, as an argentinian I know almost nothing about your country's entertainment & culture.
From Argentina but Cybersix wasn't your favourite Canadian cartoon? It came from an Argentina comic series called Skorpio 7 years before it became a cartoon. And it was certainly one of the best Canadian cartoons.
That's true for Latin America in general, unlike the United States which ridicules Canadian animation unless it's 6teen, Season 1 of Total Drama, and PAW Patrol, in Latin America, Canadian animation is well received and several YTV and Teletoon shows that did not makes it's way into the US, would, however, make it's way to Latin America, and would get very good to top notch superb Latin American Spanish dubs.
This was a fantastic trip down memory lane. As a fellow Canadian, I grew up on a lot of these shows and many of them I still revisit (ReBoot remains one of my all time favorites!)
Kudos for making this and much love from a fellow canuck!
btw, the Prank Patrol episode you mention at 30:31...I was friends with the kid in the episode and that was filmed outside our school! Small world.
Man, I love this episode!! As an American, I didn't get to know any of these shows, but I'm super interested in Western Animation so learning about all these cartoons I've never heard of was super cool. I'd love to see more stuff like this in the future!
This is the first time I've seen any RUclipsr mention most of these. Also Kid Paddle was a Belgian comic strip not a French one.
Nitro Rad was still basically right.
Well, it was popular in France.
It was made in Belgium? That's why the artstyle looked familiar...
Am I the only one that remembers Rupert?
Shinkai Atusya Rupert... I know that name! I know that! I don’t remember... but I kinda do remember. I recognise the name, but I can’t remember anything about it, I definitely watched it back in the 2000’s.
No I remember too
Nope
*Nope.*
Ofc bro rupert the white bear in china
Bro you made me relive so many memories and shows I completely forgot about I can't thank you enough 😂😂 your videos rock I wasn't expecting this, it was a treat!
This is forever now, but Jacob Two Two is a show I have been looking for for over 7 years now and you made it happen. I only saw one episode (time trials) and no amount of googling would ever help me find it.
Thank you.
I didn't grow up in Canada, but we had a lot more Canadian shows aired in Europe, than in the US, with us having more variety in kids channels, and also a lot of them being European-Canadian co-productions. What's with Andy was definitely a favorite of mine! Another show I remember giving me a lot of laughs was Planet Sketch. Totally Spies and Braceface was also one I remember watching a lot. And I still consider the first season of Total Drama great, afterwards, I can def feel that they had to tone the show down in order to sell it better internationally. The 2000s Lucky Luke was also a pretty good one, I loved that one's intro and theme, giving it a more action vibe. Out of my head, these are the ones taht popped to my mind.
True a majority of this cartoons were aired in Italy too!
Yep, in fact I really love a ton of Xilam's cartoons (the ones behind the 2000s Lucky Luke) like Les Zinzins de l'espace, Oggy et les Cafards, Ratz or more recently Zik and Sharko. These shows always have a sort of Looney Tunes or Tex Avery style to them and I really love that.
Edit: I'm French BTW.
Yeah, Europe always had cool cartoons. Martin Mystery was a Belgian property if I recall correctly. At least, the original comic book series was Belgian. Always wanted to read them but I could never find a good way to buy them.
Edit: Was wrong, it was Italian too and its original name was "Martin Mystère". The original series is way different than the cartoon too.
I wish that Canadian Doctor Who cartoon got off the ground, would have love to have seen that!
Larry is there a video you haven’t commented on? Also agreed, why BBC thought there was a studio that could produce Nelvana quality work at a lower cost is beyond me.
HELLO YOUUUUU
hmmmm i hope that didnt exist
Holy shit canada is real?
@@noveris6538 Its been 2 years since you posted this, but no. Canada is a myth perpetuated by the Martians. They've had you fooled this whole time.
It's currently 12:30AM and I am just tearing up watching that video. I watched THE ENTIRETY of what you showed in it and even more. Growing up in Québec, Canada, I watched Teletoon and YTV as a kid, learning english throught cartoons and video games.
One of my personal favorite was Kaput & Zosky, a short-lived cartoon about two alien space rangers. I also loved Untalkative Bunny and Fly Tales that were playing in between shows on Teletoon.
Man, thank you for the ride, and thank you for making me realize that I grew up on that television and applied some of the values and messages they were spreading across their stories into the adult I am today.
You rock my dude. Greetings from Quebec. I may be a new fan but I am a huuuge one.
Just seeing the old YTV and Teletoon logos/ bumpers brought back years of nostalgia.
We really did have some of the best T.V up here in Canada!
I really liked Martain Mystery as a kid. I remember M.O.M being one of my first animation crushes.
@Mac Mcskullface Carl Wheezer style
Milfs man.
Good taste fam
I remember I had a crush on Martin's stepsister lmao
Seriously. She was a stone cold FOX. 😍
Skyland is a show I know for a fact aired very briefly on Nicktoons in the states. Glad you gave it a mention, else I'd have completely forgotten it.
Martin Mystery was also a real favorite of mine as a kid.
Yes! I'm so happy you brought that up because I had a super vague memory about once he showed it.
This was very entertaining, thank you for introducing these shows to some of us.
Wow! I didn't know that many of these cartoons were Canadian. I used to watch many of them here in Mexico and liked them very much, many others I didn't know them but now I'm eager to find and watch them. Thank you for sharing part of your childhood with us, you brought back so many nice memories :'D
Yoooo, this was incredibly nostalgic for me! I'm from Halifax, so it was awesome to see the channels right down to the numbers I remember. Those time slot transitions will stay with me forever, I adored the old YTV ones with all the green, orange, and purple. Also, a million thanks for reminding me of Kid Paddle; I remembered the show but forgot what it was called for yeeears, I was hyped to figure out what it was called again!
Does anyone remember detentionaire and Storm hawks. There kinda new but there cool as hell.
I loved storm hawks, never got to watch it much though
I completely forgot that detentionaire was thing so thanks for reminding me, also it sucks that storm hawks didn't get it's 3rd season
Storm Hawks was a 2007 production, so it isn't as new as everyone thinks. God, these channels had some gold in them.
who framed leeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Storm hawks was my shit
This is why my childhood is something I want my children to experience. In Newfoundland, where I grew up. Tech was just hitting the golden age of entertainment, I've had access to all these things yet where I grew up had older customs. Like the national anthem in schools, Sunday School. And our children shows making sure we question everything. Where I grew up, there was so much sovereignty despite being on the lower end of class. There was way more love involved. That's for sure.
Edit: Could explain that "give it all attitude" we Canadians have in times of stress. Too many good times to forget man.
uhhh, not to be that guy, but I'm PRETTY sure every school plays the national anthem, at least they do here in Ontario.
@@truenorthender2917 I live there now; moved and did high school there. It played there too, but I read somewhere homies wanted to stop playing our theme because of some woke nonsense. They better not. >:l
Wow this took me back. Thank you so much for reminding me of so many things that I loved!
As a vanvouverite born in '99, thanks for unlocking a deep and dark part of my brain long forgotten. it was a nice nostalgia blast xD
"Vanvouver"
@@atmmachine11 I made this comment like a year ago and I'm only being corrected on this typo now lol oops
@@therealcpltrolllol and you didn't even fix it, that's dedication. or maybe procrastination...
If you tried to trigger waves of nostalgia you hit the mark!
I'm French but a fair portion of the stuff you showed aired here too.
I thought I would never have a name to that one cartoon that came on once when I was six, cut-out mid episode and never showed up again, but now I’m pretty certain it’s Martin Mysteries. What an unexpected Pandora’s box of nostalgia you have opened for me.
This man understands my childhood. Everything you go over in the video has been forever ingrained in my head. Miss those days.
Oh my gosh! I'm raised and born in Toronto Ontario. So I remember all of these! I remember for Canada day they did like a cross over of all the canadain shows. I actually got a signed autograph card from the ytv cast as a kid, I meet aj and he was super cool. This was the channel i grew up with. Storm Hawks was a personal favorite of mine as was team Galaxy and robot boy. Another favorite of mine that seems not to get as much attention was "Mighty bee". The theme song was kicking.
I wasn't a fan of Storm Hawks, but dammit, they had an awesome villain. Master Cyclonis made that show.
Bruhhh I would die for Stormhawks to come back.
Also your profile picture is amazing.
Oh wow, loved this video! I completely forgot about Kid Paddle and never really hear anyone talk about it, so thanks for reminding me it exists. Probably one of my favourite Canadian-made cartoons is Ruby Gloom. As someone who has had a life long passion for illustration, character design and art style is always one of the big things that grabs me about any cartoon and as a kid who was particularly edgy and pretty much was always grumpy that we didn't have a local Hot Topic, Ruby Gloom really spoke to my soul.
I also gotta say, I get extremely nostalgic about Treehouse TV, although that had a (significantly, like sometimes preschooler/toddler) younger target demographic and started in 1997, so I can see why there hasn't been a huge wave of Treehouse nostalgia yet. That being said, Wee 3, Crazy Quilt, Timothy Goes To School, Max and Ruby... all huge parts of my very early childhood.
god I don't care that is was a bit outside my demographic at the time, Treehouse was the shit.
I still think about the stupid bread sandwich from wee 3 from time to time lol
Thank YOU for reminding me of so many old cartoon shows I used to watch as a kid / teen back in the day, I'd forgotten so many!
my dude. the way you're presenting this is giving me nostalgia vibes for a television I never had
One of the shows i remember really liking that was made by the same people as totally spies and martin mystery was Team Galaxy. But man im really going to be thinking about shows i remember watching as a kid now there's too many! Does anyone remember a cartoon called mona the vampire? Canada definitely had a weird obsession with horror themes in kids programming.
Yo, I loved Mona the Vampire as a kid, here in Australia.
Wait, the villain in the series based of of Greek Mythology is NOT Hades? Finally!
And it's not Ares the god of war
I remember it being Hades, but yeah, pleasant surprise.
Hades in Class of the Titans is actually nice, though he has a foppish voice.
So I'm at the part of Nitro Rad's vid and I'm guessing you mean Cronos, right?
Well Percy Jackson did that but I guess Class of the Titans came first. :p Just saying though...
But yes, in Hercules anyway, Hades is the main villain, and besides Zeus, Hades and Ares are the main villains in God of War (and they both kind of suck in Percy Jackson too... I really hate Ares in that series, LOL. :p)
@@indigowendigo8165 In the original Greek mythology, Zeus isn't good and Hades isn't bad like in Disney's Hercules, which smacks of the annoying old trope of trying to turn Greek Paganism into Christianity by turning Zeus into God and Hades into Satan when that's not accurate at all (actual first-century Christians actually thought of Zeus as Satan, it's all over the Pauline Epistles!); if anything, Disney's Hercules less resembles the supposed Greek source material and more resembles *Norse* mythology with the Zeus vs. Hades rivalry resembling the story of Loki to me, especially since Disney's Hades summoned demons and pulled tricks in his attempts to sabotage Hercules like Loki the trickster god did.
Also, the Titans in Disney's Hercules aren't very representative of the actual Titans (which were the older generation of Greek gods that came before the Deities, the current generation led by Zeus), they were more like the Elementals of Greek myth imho.
God this was great to watch. I don't usually comment here on RUclips, but you made me remember watching EVERY single one of the shows you, RelaxAlax and everyone else showcased here (except urban vermin (never heard of that one) and Johnny Test (for obvious reasons)).
I even remembered every single animation bits and the ads from YTV, Bionixs, Teletoon and the Detour, I even remember the Zone (FREAKING Carlos and Sugar my god I loved them), The Vortex, AND even the books that What's with Andy was based on. I used to have the entire collection that I bought from my Elementary School's book fair!
This was a huge Nostalgia trip for me as I'm a Canadian myself who grew up with almost all of these shows as well. Again, great job with this video dude.
As a proud, born and raised Canadian this really tugged at my heart strings. All the shows brought up I remember watching and loving as a kid, and still do to this day (Monster by Mistake is my guilty pleasure). I always remember Saturday mornings waking up to go to my local Bowling League, coming home at around 10am and watching all these cartoons until at least 3pm the same day. As the years went on I changed from Disney Channel to YTV to finally Teletoon and then oddly going back to Disney for about a year (Mostly for the live action stuff, though Proud Family is a favourite of mine). Ultimately My favourites out of the lot were Martin Mysteries, Totally Spies, 6teen, Yvon of the Yukon, and my favourite animated show ever Reboot.
Reboot especially was one I never wanted to miss, I to this day still praise it for its genius story telling and the creators ability to make a show that didn't conform to children show standards and instead grew with is audience. The fact I still get chills down my spine seeing Bob get shot into the Web, and Enzo losing the video game, resulting in one of the darkest story lines in children television history is a testament to its genius.
I watched the Total Drama series RELIGIOUSLY. I thought it was really cool even when it got a lot more weird with season 4. Also season 4 has my two favourite characters in the series Mike and Silent B.
I was soo young that time a cant not watch Total Drama at night a need sleep for school.
Oh wow 40 minutes! I’m hyped!
I grew up in England, and not in the same era as you, so most of this is new to me, but it’s still awesome fun. I love your channel dude.
Wow I had no idea how many of these shows in Canada! Yea I grew up in Alberta all my life and watched most of these, but I had no idea these were all Canadian! It’s kinda crazy how much effort the government puts into discerning Canadian media from American media, and we don’t even realize it’s all Canadian. Thanks so much for the video dude, really warmed my heart
I can't help but wonder what it would be like if Being Ian was rebooted for today's world.
