Toon Time with Megan and JoJo

(Episode guide here) Hey Toonies! This week we take a look at one of our favourite Saturday morning staples, RECESS. This week, we each cover one 10-minute segment each. it gets heavy in this one!

(Episode guide here) This week, we’re back with The Wild Thornberrys, the toon that followed the Thornberry family on wild adventures across the globe as they filmed their famous nature show. The youngest daughter, Eliza, can talk to animals (Baby Megan’s dream) so that leads to some fun shenanigans as well. The show was created by Arlene Klasky and Gàbor Csupó, the duo who brought us The Rugrats, and ran on Nickelodeon from 1998 to 2004.

(Episode guide here) This week, we’re revisiting one of our favourite Cartoon Network series, Dexter’s Laboratory. The show was created by Russian-American animator/writer/director, Genndy Tartakovsky and ran for four seasons from 1996 to 2003 (with a 3-year hiatus between seasons 2 and 3). We discussed several of Tartakovsky’s influences, including UPA (United Productions of America).

(Episode guide here) Episode 2!! We made it! What a milestone. Hopefully, you’re still here, because we are discussing a doozy of a cartoon this week. If you grew up in Canada in the 90’s/early aughts, chances are, you watched YTV and if you watched YTV, chances are you’ve seen at least one episode of Yvon of the Yukon, the harrowing tale of a French explorer who, after becoming lost at sea, is frozen into a block of ice, only to be defrosted by a local dog’s need to pee 300 years later.

(Episode guide here) This time we look back on three episodes that really left their mark on us as kids. As it stands now, most of these things seem pretty silly but there are more sinister themes that still remain.
