Disney's Rocket Power

>Show is immensely popular when it's airing
>Almost never gets talked about now
Unironically what happened? There was a point where it was pulling in the highest ratings on kids TV and was even briefly dubbed the "Pokemon killer" because it was beating out fucking Pokemon's ratings and naive adults thought that would be the end of the franchise.

>>149914935 (OP)
tish was my first crush, that i can recall. I wonder how she's doing now. probably doing some shit in a lab.

>>149914935 (OP)
Rocket power sucked *ss while Werkenders was one of the best shows on tv ever

>>149914950
Well I remember nothing about the show besides the opening

>>149914935 (OP)

They would have made Lor a troon if it were made today. We’re not allowed to have tomboys anymore.

>>149914935 (OP)
Exsqueeze me, Anon!
These kids seem to be Weekenders, not Rocket Power

>>149914935 (OP)
It was a fun cartoon, gave me u realistic expectations of friendships but it was fun
>>149914950
Yeah once Ash lost the indigo league I lost interest in pokemon

>>149914935 (OP)
Remember when Lor beefed it

>>149914935 (OP)
Recently watched some episodes and falsly remembered it as bland. Its entertaining thanks to the 10 minute segments, the group had great synergy due to their personalities, the advice especially by Tinos mom was great, and I like how ironic the show was about immature choices.

Also I love how Tinos mom jokes about her divorce and Lor is allowed to be canonically dumb... in a Disney show. Gasp.

>>149916494
>unrealistic expectations of friendships but it was fun

Well there was an episode where Tino meets his mom's firends and how their friendship was "ruined" with time. Great lesson, too.

>>149914935 (OP)
Ah nice, I just made a lor thread lol. But yeah it was a mix of recess rocket power and maybe a lil hey arnold if we were trying to pin it down.
>>149914950
Damn didn't even pay attention, lowkey sad how hard it fell off literally only truly remember lor as she was my fave. She was so new at the time a super tomboy girl who also had that jock energy but could be cute as well. Now that's much more common.

Wonder why it fell off but probably the typical not being replayed and nowhere to watch. Recess was replayed constantly same with lilo and stitch and other disney cartoons but not weekenders.

>>149914950
The California beach town aesthetic fell out of the common cultural zeitgeist in the mid-00s and quite frankly Disney did a shit job with reruns.

>>149916746
Think that's another thing I remembered most, had that 90s realism and more down to life without feeling overly depressing like adult animation but also realistic and gave actual good lessons that kids wouldn't have heard to often.

Also yeah dumb lor is rare, girls aren't usually allowed to be dumb. Especially in disney they are "weird" not stupid.
>>149916769
Honestly sad it fell of need to rewatch again sad it's not on disney plus.

>>149916858
California used to be a massive aesthetic, but that place lost it's allure. Shocked how much they have shows there now, literally no one wants to live there besides bimbos.

One of my uncles has a place in cali and bought it for like 15k in the 80s and now it's worth over 1mil. No one wants to be in that place besides people already set in

Also disney does that with everything now, but idk why they fucked weekenders specifically since it used to be so popular

>>149916873
Its on Dailymotion in shit quality.

>>149916833
>>149916858
>>149916942
It really is kind of bizarre how Weekenders got shafted in reruns when it was a ratings juggernaut. I wonder if some executive just personally didn't like it or something.

>>149914950
That’s how shows are supposed to work. You’re supposed to watch them when they’re on, and not watch them when they aren’t

>>149914935 (OP)
As the Ancient Weekendians once said

>>149916953
Ah so like all cartoons, man that was how you used to have to watch cartoons online for free as a kid. Does anyone have good quality??? of the series
>>149916966
Probably happened to many series, like TOH and even amphibia. They got no hype but did way better than molly mcgee but for a while they pretended like molly mcgee was the face of disney I was shocked how hard they pushed her.

Also they might have sold the rights as a tax write off or maybe they didn't fully own the series or something which led to them not wanting to waste money. Or as disney usually does they saw it as "hurting" the brand, less we forget for a long time disney didn't have their full archive on disney plus and kept most on hulu to protect the brand. Like the Fox horror stuff or FG and AD which they felt would confuse kids they also only had censored versions of their super hero movies. They are big on "protecting" the brand.
>>149916977
............That's not true at all, reruns are a big part of it as they are getting viewers for free basically. Don't need to make new eps and can re run to hell. By this logic they'd never re-run anything but look how much they used to rerun P+F or GF.

>>149916977
Are you a robot? Humans don't just instantly forget shows. The internet is fucking filled with references to Spongebob and Simpsons episodes from over 20 years ago.

>>149916977
>>149917091
Welcome to GenA. Ask them what they saw on Tiktok fucking 20 seconds ago, they dont know.

>>149914950
>even briefly dubbed the "Pokemon killer" because it was beating out fucking Pokemon's ratings
For what, five seconds?

I remember rewatching this and Recess last year, they were both great.

>>149916977
That's not even what that post is talking about, they're talking about how discussion of the show isn't common anymore. People still talk about lots of old shows, and people also often watch older shows that they either missed or just plain weren't alive for. This is a really weird sentiment.

>>149917621
yeah really don't need to compete both were great and did similar but different subjects
>>149917633
Yeah, is a bit weird but recess rarely gets discussed too, maybe they just need better /co/ marketing most series only get popular here when they've got waifufags.

Recess had a mini resurgence, with the script for the reboot

>>149917621
ABC's One Saturday Morning is severely underrated.
>The Weekenders
>Recess
>Pepper Ann
>Hercules
>Mouseworks/House of Mouse
>Buzz Lightyear of Star Command
>Fillmore

>>149918088
And over half those shows are about kids at school on the day that is supposed to be about having no school.

>>149918088
>STILL not on D+

>>149918210
It's like that comic about Germans going home from driving a forklift to play Forklift Simulator

>>149918230
>Disney won't bring back MouseWorks/House of Mouse because they hate Mickey doing actual mouse things like running in wheels and going on cheese benders
Really?

>>149918088
Damn forgot pepper ann and filmore were part of this
>>149918230
weird so many shows aren't on +

Rewatching, and man I loving it also love the mom. She really is a character in her own right which is fun also a bit of a baddie

Those boys must have been having fun weekends

>>149920560
Damn nice anon, though idk why that little shading makes it seem like she's wet or something

Hope you make more though especially of best girl lor

>>149920611
I forget who drew it, but it was something from a thread a ways back.

>>149920697
Oh this is kaze lol, also might try and draw something myself

No dumb tomboy gf

>>149920560
Do you know when you saved this image?

>>149922010
Been at least two years if the file properties are to be believed. Though I know that stuff can sometimes get muddled when transferring files between systems and any OS changes

>>149917051
>>149917633
>it doesn’t count unless it has reruns and a forum legacy
Get a grip. The show was good, it was good to you, sorry it’s not some eternal monument, it doesn’t have to be. Chalking its legacy up as some error is just a disservice to you

>>149923183
Is English not your first language or something? Nobody's even suggesting that, they just find the disparity between former popularity and lack of discussion odd.

>>149923183
>>149923479
I think he's intentionally misinterpreting what people are saying to create an argument that nobody was even trying to have.

>>149916977
>You’re supposed to watch them when they’re on, and not watch them when they aren’t

In this day an age, I have no idea if this is a troll or not.

>>149923739
>infernal lust

>>149923183
I think more people are saying that many shows get shafted by not getting the support it needs to be remembered. I remember recess and other shows getting a lot of re-runs same with TAWOG those type of shows never left peoples minds because if you missed the ep you still had a chance to catch it later on

>>149925557
Thaf fuckin hair swipe is too much

>>149918088
Fuck yeah Star Command, funny how Pixar keeps ignoring despite the fact it's a well of ideas to pull from.

>>149925867
Really liked the robot designs in star command

>>149916746
"You look like a roll on deodorant."
"Are you crazy. During Giant Mutant Wasp Season?!"
"Have a nice dab?"
I rewatch episodes when I can, this show is as good as I remember it.

>>149926419
Started rewatching from ep 1 and lowkey pretty great also love the mom being really supportive

>>149917969
>they drew her zero ass

Opposite of fapbait sold as kids shows these days.

>>149925557
>>149925742
I didnt find that episode...

>>149926704
>the episode where Tino is shocked about Lor's rich bitch makeover for her crush
>Tinos mom telling him he should let her do what she likes, until Tino describes what she does
>Tinos mom being like "Oh hell naw!"

Based.

>>149927168
That wasn't ep 1, ep 1 was when they think lor has a crush on carver.

But does sound like a good concept for a ep I'm sure their will be more lor crush eps

>>149927263
There's a shitton of crush episodes. Lors crush isnt a one-episode thing. She struggles with her feminine side (unfortunately, this rarely has an explanation; makes no sense to get a girly glow up for a grunge guy with dyed hair)

>>149914950
>beating out fucking Pokemon's ratings
Pokemon's forte is the games, and merch I suppose, the anime was huge back in the late 90's and early 00's. There's a shit ton of seasons but just like The Simpsons they air it some people watch it but it's nowhere near as popular as it once was.
>>149917618
probably, I don't remember this show at all.

>>149917618
I've heard Pokemon ran like Ash... erh... ass in later gens. Show and the dub were for retards, as repetative as a toddler show, and the protagonist always lost. I think the first time people gave a shit again was the style change.

>>149927507
Yeah thought her crush was a bit weird, like dude is literally "mr douchebag" from YFM. Such a weird guy for her to crush on but guess a dude bro is for a bro girl like her.
>>149927655
Lor, might have took beig a girly girl to far, dolled up heels flowing dress, pearls, arm sleeves and she made her man a sandwich. Lor the best girl apparently went from tomboy to housewife real fast kek

>>149927655
>>149925557
Which episodes!?

>>149927854
Pretty confident both of those clips are from episode 1.

Happy this series is having a resurgance, needs more art and love

>>149928694
>this series is having a resurgance
I mean, is it really?

Lor, the best redhair tomboy

>>149928710
We've had two threads so far. It's a start and never know maybe a drawfag will come through and that will bring more eyes to this peak. I mean look at jimmy two shoes that series had a resurgence twice in 2 years, once because someone did a rewatch thread and another because of the released pilot

Same with w.i.t.c.h, so maybe people are desperate for a little nostalgia

>>149928763
Maybe because of color grading of my tv but I always assumed she was blonde. Then saw her bio in one of those extras from the website or dvd. An learned she's actually a "strawberry" blonde and her hair was a bit darker than i saw.

I forgot lor had so many brothers, but explains her personality a lot. One girl among like 8 boys is definitely crazy

>>149914935 (OP)
I forgot this even existed, even more than Teacher's Pet.

>>149914950
It just kind of happened at the wrong time at Disney for the cartoons. It got 4 seasons like Recess did, but almost half the episodes, and it barely got reruns because within a couple of years, High School Musical happened and Disney Channel was pivoting to mostly live action shows to try and make teen stars.

Meant that whilst the people who watched it loved it, anyone too young at the time doesn't even know it exists. There are many such cases with Disney's TV shows which Disney+ arguably should have solved, but old stuff still gets buried under new content.

>>149917618
Surprisingly, I see that anon's point
>TV Guide called The Weekenders as "the show that killed Pokémon", because ABC stole the ratings when they aired it at 10:00 am – the same time Pokémon aired on Kids' WB. In addition, Variety reported that The Weekenders took the number one rating on Saturday morning television, which knocked off Pokémon from its 54 consecutive weeks as the top spot

This show was always fun, the setting is comfy too, nice town I would live there.

>>149929703
The Weekenders STILL isn't even on Disney+

>>149929821
Nope had to find it on archive.org myself most of the youtube and dailymotion versions were cropped to hell.
>>149929772
Yeah, really do like when low scale shows make the town look good. Also seeing it makes me sad that places aren't like this anymore kids don't walk around as much everything isn't put in walking distance. It truly was a different time, especially knowing this is cali. They probably based it on cali from their childhood/the early 90s heard it started going down hill by the 00s.

>>149931387
I lived in California from the 90s to 2002 and it was pretty much exactly like that in the beach towns. From what I've heard my parents moved out at like precisely the right time.

>>149931626
Yeah, had a uncle in cali and basically seemed like the same. When I went their as a kid compared to as a teen it was night and day. The boardwalk was covered in trash and homeless people were roaming around most of the little stores were closed replaced with chains.

It was kind of sad, lucky you got out in time

>>149914935 (OP)
>Tino was not man, but bear

>>149931791
He then ascended to his homeplanet of Canada

>>149931791

Someone, please make a Weekenders version of THAT copypasta

>>149931834
>>149931820
>>149931791
I'd like the context so please do

>>149931791
>>149931820

>>149932216
I would love to see an art of him and his mom as bears or bear anthros.

>>149914935 (OP)
I remember really enjoying this show, but I was so young I barely remember full episodes. I remember that the main blonde kid was the main "narrator", they ate in a different pizza place every week and some of the episodes ideas were cool: Helping the black kid become one of the cool guys, them trying to do stuff each one of them liked instead of something they all enjoyed and an episode where they have a food fight with pudding?

I do remember giving particular attention to that teacher that was always pregnant and one of the first steps into me becoming a pregfag later in life.

>>149927851
Super smart dudebro for some reason.

>>149928694
>resurgance
>this thread

Yeah and Elinor Wonders Why and My Life Me are huuuge.

>>149928990
And they all look like early 2000s NuMetal band members.

>>149933447
Still rewatching so don't know much yet but kind of fun combo. Jock-y,dumb tomboy x smart dude bro is kind of hilarious
>>149933463
I mean they were big for a hot second, resurgance don't last forever
>>149933486
Think funny thing to me is they all have the same hair cut then theirs lore. Do the parents only pay for one cut or do they all just want to look like the oldest?

>>149933802
Find these episodes then lel
>>149927655
>>149925557

I just watched the synthcool video about this show

>>149934255
I'll let ya know if I see em, watching ep 6 also shocked lor has 11 brothers that girl living a reverse loud house

>>149934673
Funny I also described it like that.

>>149935587
Stop tishing.

Does this have any porn?

>>149935961
a bit, most is lor in camp sherwood

>>149935961
Barely but at least by e.g. VS.

>>149934673
Where do you watch?

>>149914935 (OP)
Show me the girls' bare feet & soles

>>149931791
kek

>>149914935 (OP)
I always appreciated that the characters would change outfits. As a young autistic boy i was always a little annoyed that most cartoon characters wore the same clothes in every episode. Thats all i remember about the show though.

>>149936143
S1-2 on archive

Also found some info on the show
>https://ia801306.us.archive.org/9/items/the-weekenders-press-kit/TheWeekendersPressKit.pdf

>>149937874
Yeah they changed a lot too lor will change both her clothes and hair all in one ep. Super fun

>>149938881
The wait three part killed me, also the fact she was getting two girls ready for her son is crazy

Just saw the ep where they are babysitting carver's baby brother and kind of shocked lor lost to a baby boy. She has 11 brothers and is the canon middle child, she definitely should be a expert at wrangling a precocious little boy

>>149936711
Fuck off Murat. Check a biology book how the rest of a woman looks under the ghost cosplay.

>>149914935 (OP)
Explain.
