"ReBoot" – First Computer Animated TV Series

Guardian Bob opening narration:

"I come from the Net--through systems, peoples, and cities--to this place: MAINFRAME. My format: Guardian. To mend and defend--to defend my new found friends, their hopes and dreams, and to defend them from their enemies."

ReBoot, ABC's 1994 half-hour Saturday morning tv show, was credited to be the first full length, completely computer animated TV series produced by Mainframe Entertainment. The show features great computer generated characters, background, mouth-watering animation, intelligent use of computer references with stories based on the computer industry where children audience learn computer terms and when the show went on, it got more complex; actions & sceneries increased, jokes were funnier, characters changed and it attracted older audiences.
