Generation O!
[playlist id=16]
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.

wooww generation o !
LOL! I take it you liked the show!
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.
It should all work now…
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!!!!
Oh, the Pierced Ears episode doesn’t work btw
Hmmm, sorry about that I will look into it and try to fix it!
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.
Thanks! I’ll get to it, I promise!
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.
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.
Ok, well I think maybe you can´t
I can and I have the files, I just don’t have the time right now.
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???
