Summary: Wasn't this on CBS?
Review: I think this was on CBS a few years ago. I don't remember liking it all that much.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hit and Miss... (mostly Hit)
Review: I used to watch this show religiously on ABC Saturday mornings, and I was so excited to see it come to DVD.
The first episode, "To Mend and Defend," was mediocre at best. To be fair, I missed all of season two, so it was sort of like coming in during the middle of a movie. Still, I was left scratching my head, trying to remember just why I liked this series so much in the first place.
"Between a Raccoon and a Hard Place" was terrible. Written by comic book legend Len Wein, this episode was silly and, at times, incongruous with the rest of the episodes. By this time, I was ready to pop out the DVD.
Fortunately, "Firewall" caught my attention from the beginning. A clever and hilarious spoof of James Bond movies, this episode made me laugh out loud and reminded me how great this series could be.
"Game Over" was, in a word, incredible. I can't describe it without giving too much away. Just let me say that the cliffhanger ending was enough to send me running to my computer to order the next DVD in the series <G>.
The last two episodes make this DVD worth purchasing. The series creators really know their characters and understand their world, and are more than capable of making up for the occasional sour note struck by the guest writers.

Summary: Good anime

Summary: Blew me away in 1994 and still today
Review: I'm 41 years old and is a big fan of British TV and likes of, The Prisoner, UFO, and even Thunderbirds & Captain Scarlet. I believe that the creators of Reboot (left England for Canada) have seen my favorites and bring that same kind senseabilty to the screen for Reboot the Series. I'm also the guy that watched Tron when it first came out on 70mm three times and once with a small group of fellow geeks at the last showing in Vegas. Tron was made for 70mm large projection. 4:3 on 30in TV, Tron still loses that Spectacle experience. Reboot is a series that clearly doen't take itself too seriouly.. but now that ABC "the ABC's have turned against us!" dumped the show. (Wonder why since Reboot was roughly 5 years aheaed of anything Disney had a time!!) The animation continues to improve as do family and adult scripts. American networks are [stupid] for not putting Reboot on Prime Time. First all DDD Weekly Animated TV Series. First all DDD recordings. And still the Cartoon Network only broadcasts the show in mono. Same on them. GENE

Summary: Finally! *celebrates*
Review: I've wished for this to be released for AGES! (Still wishing for the first two groundbreaking seasons, though.)

I'm so excited! The DVD is just what I expected. The series itself is as good as I remembered. As the editor of 80sCartoons.net, I have seen a lot, and I mean a LOT, of cartoons after their time, and this one is JUST as good as the first time I saw it. I can't say that of many cartoons. Only a small handful. The characters, the character development, the storylines, the humor...first class. Edgy. FUN. Yes, that's the bottom line here. It's a FUN show to watch. Isn't that the point?

Summary: Reply to Ralph Jensen
Review: If you did a little research you would find out the the 4 Vols sold on amazon are vol 1-4 of seasonIII. It is one complete season. not random episodes from different seasons. I too would gladly like to see all the seasons. But come on WHAT DID YOU EXPECT FOR about 20 bucks A WHOLE SEASON GET REAL USE YOUR BRAIN THINK. Most series that sell as whole season sell for well over 50 bucks!
Your review is incorrect and made me do research before i decided to buy. Please find all the facts before posting incorrect reviews!

Now onto the review!
Reboot is great! These 4 vols of season III are wonderful we could only hope that the first 2 seasons come out sometime in the future! Season IV is slated for later this year!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: FIREWALL IS HYSTERICAL
Review: It is a real shame that seasons 1 and 2 (the first half) were soooo lousy. But these season 3 (and 2nd half of season 2) episodes were excellent. I've heard that they intentionally "dummied-down" the seasons 1 and 2 so that they could air them in America without offending anybody or ticking off the censors. This wouldn't surprise me condisdering how American TV has managed to ruin some of the best shows--DBZ and Beast Wars (Beast Machines--the American version--was awefull!)

Anyway, when REboot didn't sell in America the Canadian animators were freed the bonds put on them and really cut loose! The humour episodes were the best, they mocked everything from james bond (best reboot ep. EVER) to the Prisoner, to Sailor Moon, to Xena and Hercules. Definitly check this series out!

THE FIREWALL EPISODE, A JAMES BOND SPOOF, REALLY MUST BE SEEN TO BE BELIEVED

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent collections of an excellent CG cartoon
Review: It is near criminal that Universal hasn't released the rights to seasons I and II. This is disc starts with the opener to Season III and gives indication to a bit of the very dark nature of this season (and The Web that follows).

Seasons I and II were much more humor oriented with less of a cohesive story that unfolds throughout the season. Season III is the beginning of what could easily (and was likely originally intended to be) have been a full length movie.

However, Season III contains plenty of the classic Reboot humor. Example; Episode I contains an excellent spoof of Evil Dead II right down to the lead characters over sized chin and penchant for saying "Groovy".

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: about time
Review: its about time that they made a movie! Since this show went off the air in 97 the fans of Reboot have been waiting for an ending to this fabolous show, since none ever came out we've had to satisfie ourselves with writing fanfiction but, even through there will be a movie I do hope the fanficton will stay along with the wonderful Reboot related friendships that have been made.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ReBoot is great entertainment for computer fans of all ages.
Review: My kids (8 and 10) love this animated cartoon as much as I do! The story line is exciting and the humor, gags, one-liners and cultural references keep it interesting for adults as well as children. We especially enjoy the computer references. The computer animation is still better than any of the animation you see in most cartoons on TV today.

I'm very glad to see that other episodes are now available on DVD. We're just hoping they'll bring back the series to TV or even the movies! WE WANT MORE ReBOOT!!!
