But its a tried and tested format, so lets just leave it in.
Thirty years on fromReBoots debut, heres why the show was ground-breaking in more ways than one…
But employing CGI for incidental effects was one thing.
A TV show created entirely on the computer was quite another.
Enter Gavin Blair, Ian Pearson, Phil Mitchell and John Grace, a.k.a.
creative team The Hub.
However, such equipment was more easily available in Canada along with lucrative tax breaks and various other subsidies.
So the team made the move across the Atlantic to Vancouver to start seriously developing their idea.
But even then, the process was far from simple.
And the rest is… quite complicated history.
But it went further than that.
But theReBootteam had big plans.
But the threatened cancellation didnt materialize in fact, the show was granted a major reprieve.
Off the Leash
After two seasons, Mainframe parted ways with ABC.
Season 3 also took plenty of storytelling risks.
One week, you were watching two kids with whom youd spent multiple seasons.
This was pretty unprecedented stuff for kids TV, and fairly mind-blowing for a young audience.
A cliffhanger that was, sadly for fans, never to be resolved.
While certainly an inauspicious end for the series, it was also oddly fitting.
It might simply be that the show belongs in the past.
