a5c7b9f00b The extraordinary adventures of life within a computer,depicted in one of the world&#39;s first totally-computer-generated series. The riotous humour, infinitely-variable action and scenery, and intelligent use of every computer reference known, combine to produce a stunning universe where good constantly fights the forces of evil. Dot Matrix and her brother Enzo, plus thousands of friendly binomes, live in Mainframe, which is plagued by viruses Megabyte and sister strain Hexadecimal. Guardian Bob is sent from the Net to protect them, and soon makes it his home. Together, they must prevent Megabyte from taking control of all the systems. As an added complication, games being played by the mystical User invade the system regularly, and must be defeated, or else portions of the city are laid waste… This gives us a chance to see every genre of video-game ever conceived, from the point of view of the characters! When Megabyte finally manages to banish Bob, Enzo takes overthe city&#39;s Guardian, but things will never be quite the same… ReBoot, the world&#39;s first 100% computer animated TV show, features a standard battle of good vs. evil in a whole new battleground, inside a computer. Bob, the Guardian, teams up with Dot Matrix and her brother, Enzo, to fight off the evil viruses Megabyte and Hexadecimal. I have read the other entries for ReBoot and I would like to clarify some things. First of all, I got to see most of the first season in one night, courtesy of my Computer Graphics instructor at art school. I was instantly hooked. I just saw the third season and was totally blown away.<br/><br/>The first two seasons of ReBoot were aired on the ABC network, which had strict guidelines of what could and could not be aired (BS n P). It was aimed at kids who got up early on a Saturday morning, thus the cartoon feel to it. The series was begun in 1991, when the most powerful home PC was the IBM 386. Silicon Graphics, now the industry standard for CGI, had barely just begun. For the time and technology, ReBoot was way ahead, even if it is now dated.<br/><br/>I know I cannot whisk all new viewers back to the time when ReBoot first began. Just remember the time it came from REBOOT was a great example of that rare thing… an intelligent kid&#39;s show. Actually it was sufficiently multileveled (and with enough double-entries) to be enjoyed by adultswell. <br/><br/>Some of the early episodes were a bit ropey, but especially from the second season on when they started using clever plot arcs and having more mature plot lines instead of the typical bang-bang-hero-saves-the-day stories, it became unmissable viewing. It didn&#39;t avoid not hitting the reset switch at the end of every episode - in only some modern &quot;grown-up&quot; series, suchthe various Star Trek incarnations, would avoid a similar temptation.
