AN ORAL HISTORY OF YTV IN THE 1990S.

Will Sloan, the co-host of two movie focused podcasts, The Important Cinema Club and Michael & Us, but more importantly, the man banned from Twitter for seven days for hoping baby Yoda would die painfully, has re-released his 'Oral History of YTV', but this time on Amazon in book form.

"Some years ago I wrote an oral history of the beloved Canadian children's TV channel YTV. It's sadly no longer online... but now exists as a chapbook and ebook." - Will Sloan via Twitter

Before I write anything else please visit the following Amazon links to purchase said book. Canada: http://Keepitweird.ca USA: https://a.co/d/ium1Ion

As an enthusiastic listener of The Important Cinema Club, I find myself filled with anticipation at the mere thought of being able to read and reminisce about the fun times I had watching YTV.

As a child of the 90s, there's one thing I can confidently say: YTV played a paramount role in shaping the upbringing of myself and my friends. Fond memories flood back as we recall tuning in eagerly to catch our favorite shows. It was a magical experience where every viewing promised an unforgettable adventure.

YTV was more than just a television channel; it was a gateway to happiness and endless entertainment. For kids of that era, including myself, it was a cherished part of our daily routine. From captivating animated series to hilarious live-action shows, YTV never failed to deliver on its promise of providing a good time for its viewers.

Each show on YTV offered a unique and imaginative world. Samurai Pizza Cats took us on action-packed adventures with heroic feline warriors. Reboot, with its groundbreaking CGI animation, transported us into the captivating realm of Mainframe, where Bob and his friends fought viruses and protected the digital universe. Nanalan' enchanted us with its adorable puppetry, and Stickin' Around had us laughing with the misadventures of Stacy and Bradley. These shows not only entertained us but also ignited our imaginations and made us feel like we were a part of something extraordinary.

As the years passed, YTV continued to evolve, bringing new shows and fresh memories to subsequent generations. The nostalgic pull of this beloved channel remains strong, connecting 90s kids and beyond through a shared love for the iconic shows of that era. Even now, as we reminisce about the fun times we had watching YTV, we can't help but feel a sense of joy and warmth in our hearts.

While the focus here has been on relishing the past, there's something worth mentioning about preserving the legacy of YTV for future generations. The influence of this cherished channel on Canadian culture and the hearts of its viewers is undeniable. For those who may not be familiar with YTV, it's essential to introduce them to the magic it once brought into our lives.

If you're a Canadian who grew up cherishing the wonder of YTV, or if you simply want to experience a piece of Canadian television history, I urge you to check out this book. Delve into the nostalgia, reminisce about the shows that filled your heart with joy, and let the magic of YTV transport you back to a simpler time.

Order your copy today, and let the journey down memory lane begin anew.

City of Stars AKA Fueangnakorn

Star Hunter started filming this 12/23 about an actor falls in love with a programmer and the narrative intends to “explore the ramifications of being public figure in the social network era who must endure critics, bullying, and defamation.” Looks like another Lovely Writer, Call It What You Want sort of thing.

Four Ever You Project AKA Fourever You Project

Sampler pack BL series from Wabi Sabi stars Bas (Gen Y), Earth (UWMA, 12%). Four stories, four couples, all adapted under the Fourever You Project.

Monster Next Door

WeTV Adapted from the novel Godzilla Next Door by Jiwinil. It portrays an introvert who lives mostly in his room, until an extrovert moves in next door. He is loud, frantic and annoying. Do opposites really attract? Will they find a way to get along?

My Golden Blood

GMMTV. Okay, I do find Joss very watchable but this looks very bad and also very like Kissable Lips. But at least land is finally giving us the trashy gay vampires we richly deserve?

My Love Mix-Up Thai Remake (GemniForth)

GMMTV. Hum, well I do love this pair and I did like the original and maybe this time these characters will actually kiss? I'm actually fine with this pick-up. I kind of enjoy seeing different countries remake the same IP. Especially if it's IP I'm mostly unfazed by.

To Be Continued

Vampire Project (BounPrem)

Wabi Sabi's My Broccoli only now... vampires.

Wandee Godday

It features a one night stand, fake relationship, and all the cheesiest of tropes. Also features Drake, Podd, and Thor+ pretty boy (be still my heart). This is totally my kind of BL even if it actually isn't GMMTV's style of BL, so I'm intrigued. Trailer here.

Fox Kids Much Music One Saturday Morning PSA’s Teletoon TGIF YTV - The Zone / Snit Station / Short Circuitz

[overfedvenison]

I'm watching that Quinton Reviews video on Nickoons Unite

I guess it never really registered it, but it seems like the US has a way higher degree of like, brand recognition than we did. There's this emphasis placed on brand synergy and a network having a unified identity where aspects can cross over and the like, there

By contrast, Canadian Shows didn't seem to have that. Stuff was ON a network, it was ON Teletoon or YTV or Treehouse or whatever. But with the exception of a few minor flagship series, there was no Teletoon Brand where like, Cybersix and Kaput and Zoskey would be in the same thing. And you'd sorta be expected to understand things like "Oh yes, this show is from America, this show is from Japan, this one is from Quebec," even if you didn't know which was which all the time

Most notably, for a long time one of the hosts for The Zone - a programming block on YTV - was also the voice actor for Chibiusa from Sailor Moon and so a lot of focus was placed on the dubbing of anime. It's like, these shows come from many places, and you appreciated them as shows and not a unified thing. Especially things like Avatar felt much more in-line with the other anime-influenced shows like Dai-Gata, Spider Riders, Cybersix and Code Lyoko than something I would ever associate with Nickelodeon, and seeing Invader Zim in these crossover games with Spongebob is very... "Wait, really? That's not really a show to be aimed at that audience."

But it seems like so much more emphasis was placed on the Brand Identity in the US. How it's like, no, you are intended to think of Catdog and Invader Zim as the same kind of thing.

I've noticed a majority of people I know in-person have sorta checked out of US media; they find it super corporate and not very interesting. I wonder if we are just sorta like... Culturally a lot less used to having the Brand Synergy thing pushed on us than the US. Like, maybe everything being tied into everything else is kind of weird and alienating to people here. But I also like, don't talk to normal people much, so who knows?

December 11th Bonus Birthday Poll #2

Have you seen this childhood show: The Next Star (2008-2014), Canada (English)

Mod A: I vividly remember the Next Star season 3, 2010 (Victoria Duffield) and season 4, 2011 (Charlie Storwick, now known as Faangs) casts, particularly the people I put in brackets! The Next Star was a under-16 singing completion show on YTV hosted by Adamo Ruggiero (best known as Marco on Degrassi) in Season 1-5 and Carlos Bustamante (aka the host of The Zone on YTV) for Season 6-7. The kids would audition and then they woukd practice each episode for a specific music theme/dance style. The final six would each have a music video of a song they created that was shown on YTV (Charlie and Victoria’s were the most memorable to me!). At the end, the winner would be crowned the Next Star and get a recording contact. This show was so engaging to me (although I haven’t watched since 2011, so idk how well it held up) but it was totally iconic in terms of showcasing the fashion/music trends of the early 2010s (and also bc you could not escape the music videos if you were a pre-teen/teenager at this time haha). This was probably my favourite reality show when I was younger!]

[rob-demers-art]

Some of my fondest childhood TV related memories included The Zone on YTV. specifically the era of hosts which included PJ Phil and his animatronic sidekick Snit. I took some creative liberties to make Snit a little more expressive since he was pretty much a TV set coated in purple bubble gum. PJ Phil and Snit really made the time between cartoons something to look forward to.
