Generation O!

Generation O! was a show that premiered on Kids WB as part of the kid’s block called Fraterdays. The theory was that there was so much amazing animation on the WB that it was spilling over to Friday afternoons. Sounds stupid huh? Yeah, I thought so too. It didn’t work either and no one watched this little gem of a show because it happened to air at  the exact time that Pokemon and the anime craze hit the US and overnight the Kids WB went from airing shows like Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries and Mucha Lucha to airing nothing but anime which to me was part of their eventuall downfall.

Generation O! was the brainchild of award winning author James Proimos, Ad man David Hale and musician Tim Newman (and brother of Randy Newman) who had the great concept of an 8-year-old rockstar girl who still has to go to bed at 8pm and do the dishes. It was in many ways a cool show for me and marked my first entry into producing. Each episode had at least one catchy song (expertly done by Letters to Cleo) and a multimedia music video as well. If anyone remembers, “multimedia” was the executive catch phrase of the day back in 1999. It was an awesome show and I am sad to see that no one has heard of it.

Anyway, check out Generation O! episodes here and I’m sure you’ll agree it was a greatly overlooked show.

Oh and if you’re from Mexico, try to see the English version as I have heard that the awful dubbing made it into a terrible show.

  • Mike Milo says:

    LOL! I take it you liked the show!

  • Kairi says:

    The video appears broken…I can’t hit play or any of the buttons and none of the videos will start up. :( I used to watch this show back when WB was still around. It was one of the cartoons I grew up on and I absolutely loved it. I had it’s opening song stuck in my head just recently and it brought back a wave of nostalgia…They just dont make cartoons like this one anymore. I would have liked to hear the opening song just one more time.

  • Mike Milo says:

    It should all work now…

  • Nicole W. says:

    Thank you for putting up these episodes!!! I haven’t seen any of them in 10 years and I’ve ALWAYS remembered that show! You’re awesome!!!!

  • Nicole W. says:

    Oh, the Pierced Ears episode doesn’t work btw :(

  • Mike Milo says:

    Hmmm, sorry about that I will look into it and try to fix it!

  • Mike Milo says:

    Thanks, you are too kind. I really loved working on this series… the sad thing is I seem to be the only one who has any of those films at all. The last six episodes seem to be missing.

    I hope you come back Mike, I understand that you’re very busy, but I wrote this so that you see that even I go back to your website.

  • Mike Milo says:

    Thanks! I’ll get to it, I promise!

  • Alex says:

    yeah milo it´s ok and sorry I know that my english it´s terrible (I´m from california mexico).

    I watched this cartoon on the TV channel “Nickelodeon”.
    I do not know what happened, just disappeared, even sadder, I looked all over the Internet some of this show in Spanish and there is nothing, NOTHING (no music, no videos, no channels…notingh. Luckily I found your page with some of your episodes, listen to songs in English and to my surprise they are better than I heard in Spanish.
    I continued searching the internet and found the songs in full version (I never imagined to exist in full version, there is some CD with his songs?). whatever.

    please milo, I looked all over the Internet (for 6 months, Seriously) and I did not find the episodes: Lone fry, Going solo, The Defiant One, Devitated Tonsils and bedtime blues.

    I wholeheartedly appreciate if you upload some of those (especially Lone fry * I dont have that song and I not remember the episode, I just remember it was Christmas), you’re my last hope to see them again.

    thanks very much Milo.

  • Alex says:

    My friend your Media player gone down, so we can´t see any video :(
    we still believe at you!, our last hope to see those Generation O! episodes :) .
    Thanks again and never give up!, you´re a greath director ;)

    Note: A love your cartoon “Halo ruined my life” it´s funny.

  • Alex says:

    Ok, well I think maybe you can´t :(

  • Mike Milo says:

    I can and I have the files, I just don’t have the time right now.

  • doug says:

    can you e-mail files?!? i really want to share this with my kid, but most of the episodes are not to be found. please???

  • doug says:

    p.s. seriously one of the best shows ever.

  • Mike Milo says:

    They’re too big and the problem is that I have them as dvds, if I had the time to turn them into files I could use them on the site!

  • Alex says:

    I hope you can soon, I have 10 years without seeing this cartoon, there is no a dvd of this cartoon for buy it, it´s not be on tv anymore, and not be on internet, so you´re the las hope.

  • doug says:

    there are bad rips of some episodes on youtube.
    worth watching for a fix, but no quality to them.

  • Alex says:

    I really have to be crazy :P , come on bro. I have waiting since “May 28, 2010″ (2 years), do you think you can upload them soon?…. please?, you promised jejejeje XD

  • Mike Milo says:

    Heheh… I have them all digitized now… I’ll upload them this weekend and hopefully you’ll be able to watch them all next week!

  • Alex says:

    You mean this week? :) , I hope you can upload them Milo (I really hope yes).

  • Mike Milo says:

    Well they’re up! Sorry they took so long but you have no idea how hard it is to digitze 13 episodes and get them up on the web. Anyway, enjoy!

  • Alex says:

    Thanks so much Milo you kept your promise finally :) ,When I first met this website I was 16 and now I have 19, crazy not you think? XD ever since, I visited this site each month to see if finally you uploaded the episodes until that is I become customary, and now I’m going to miss coming to this site, but the way things are, everything changes and we have to choose other paths, when I grow up, get married and have childrens I will show my children what I watched when I was a child. See ya Milo was a pleasure to meet you :)

  • Mark says:

    Nice site. I haven’t taken the time to check out all the eps yet, but I notice I can only find the OP on episode 1 on the net, yet I have another OP I saw more of when the show was on. I thought it was a better OP, myself.

  • Mike Milo says:

    I’m not quite sure what you’re asking. Can you elaborate?

  • Mark says:

    No question–just an observation. I can’t find the OP online or I’d include a link to it. It appears to be a song called “Our Generation”.

  • Mike Milo says:

    What does OP mean?

  • Mark says:

    My bad. OP=opening credits with a theme song or some kind of music.

  • Buzz O! says:

    Mark. This might be what your talking about http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xfmsz1_kids-wb-generation-o-promo_shortfilms

    Thanks for sharing these episodes with us Mike. This was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid. I still remember waiting to see it every Friday at 3:30, even if it was a repeat. It’s really great to see these episodes again after all these years.

  • Mike Milo says:

    Happy to oblige! I only wish that more people had seen them! It was a great series in my opinion.

  • Mark says:

    Buzz O! That’s the song but I have a version that only has a live action concert crowd with scenes from the show and appears to be an opening not a promo. Thanks.

  • Mike Milo says:

    The crowd was added in post. Somewhere I have the original mp3 of the title sequence song. It was a really hard decision to make as to what song was going to be the title. I boarded that whole title sequence myself and WB tried very hard to get rid of the camera going inside her belly button but I ultimately got to keep it in. :-) If I can find the original song I’ll post it.
