Can you believe it? 20 years have passed since ReBoot premiered back on September 10th, 1994. I vividly recall my 8yr old self sitting down that Saturday morning to see this brand new cartoon that took place inside a computer. It was love at first sight. The characters, this crazy CGI animation, the colors, computer lingo here n’ there…. it had me hooked. Bob instantly became my favorite, with his heroic actions and cool-guy demeanor. I’d continue to tune-in every weekend until ABC was bought up by Disney and ReBoot (among other non-Disney programing) was canceled. Man… that season 2 cliffhanger… I was gutted… what would happen to Bob?! Of course we all know the answer to that one now, but it would be a couple of years before Season 3 would premiere on Cartoon Network here in the States, but everything looked even more amazing by that point. I was older, the show was more mature… rekindled that love-affair I had with it in no time. Matrix became my second favorite character, his tough no-nonsense attitude appealed to my teenage self (…though I was very happy to see Bob later on!) With the end to Season 3 being pretty up-beat (dealing with the threat of Daemon aside), it seemed as if ReBoot’s story was all done. However, after a few more years progressed… Season 4 premiered and it was great to see everyone again. Thrust into the midst of the war against Daemon, it was a strong first half. I still miss Hex, and hope she’ll return one day. I know that we’re all familiar with how the second half of Season 4 went…. and that’s why this site has existed for the past 7+ years (a little more than 8 if you factor in when I began the idea to revive the series). Hopefully all the talk about the 20th anniversary being an important milestone won’t wind up as more disappointment from Rainmaker.

ReBoot was, and still is a show unique unto itself. It captured the hearts, minds, and imaginations of children, teens, and adults around the world. The fact that so many still recall their very first episode, just goes to show how fondly it still lives on within our hearts 20 years later.

I can’t believe it’s been 20 years – I feel so old!!! I’m immensely proud of what we (emphasis on the ‘we’!) did, and I’m glad we found such a passionate audience. Without you we are nothing. Thank you.

I’m also very proud of the fact that the show had such a positive effect on so many people. I never get tired – and I never will – of people telling me how the show influenced their life for the better. That’s a rare and precious thing.

Stay Frosty, my friends. Stay Frosty. -Gavin Blair
