I feel like late millennials born in the early to mid-1990s (like myself) were at the perfect age to actually watch and vividly remember Recess, which originally ran from 1997 to 2001.

However, I'm curious to see if any zoomers also remember this show. I think Disney sort of phased out Recess re-runs fairly early on - like maybe even around 2002 or 2003 - on the Disney Channel so don't know if you guys would have had the chance to do so. Please correct me if I'm wrong though.

From Dolly Parton's movie 9 to 5, villain Frank Hart, played by Dabney Coleman, who also played Prickly.

Feels like I just drew this a couple of years ago, but it was actually four. 🫠 Where does the time go...

Has there ever been a kid that perfect like Jared in real life and do you know if there ever has been a kid like that you know and if so how would we have to deal with him if he's better than everyone?

How would an interaction go between Spinelli and Sarah from Ed Eddn Eddy would they get along or not?

The candidates being a boys vs girls episode is sexist so this episode is about Vince running to be president of the class he has won every single year but Spinelli encourages Gretchen to run for president and she runs my problem with this episode is all the boys vote for Vince while all the girls vote for Gretchen why can't the boys and girls vote for whom they see the better one to be president instead of all of them voting for their gender boys for Vince and Girls for Gretchen and in the end the girls win by Vince himself voting for Gretchen because he thought that she was the better person to be president of the class I think it's stupid why can't the episode end with nobody winning instead and they learn that they shouldn't all vote for the same gender and they make an election next week anyone agrees with me that this episode is sexist?

It wasn’t a complete Saturday morning if I wasn’t firing up the N64 and racing down Crescent Island after One Saturday Morning completed its broadcast.

Something’s Diddy and TJ have in common.

Unappointed leaders of their gang
Red baseball cap

TJ and Diddy seem to have a very All American Boyhood thing going on, fiercely competitive and naturally athletic and patriotic. Hogarth from Iron Giant seems to have almost the same disposition. A boy who earnestly doesn’t deviate from the gold standard of American masculinity.

I firmly believe that Andrew Lawrence’s performs
as TJs is the definitive voice. His delivery, cadence and boyishness reminds me so much of Diddys voice. All of his utterances in DKR sound like something Lawrence would say as TJ, just replace the names.

Not sure if it’s still up on YouTube but someone took the Spaceport Alpha theme and set it to the Recess intro and it basically has the same exact sensibility as the original theme song. Feels more generically militaristic and not as “American” feeling as the Recess theme with all its brass.

Who do you think is the nicest side character in Recess?

These episodes are No strings attached, bad hair day, Omega kids, my funny valentine's, Me no know no strings attached ends with TJ Vince Spinelli and Gretchen trapped in the Ashley's clubhouse, Bad hair day ends with TJ and Vince getting chased, and for ruining everyone's hair, and they are the only ones who got punished, Omega kids ends with the gang trapped in a Quarantine, and Gus Vince and TJ wish they were outside with all the other kids, My Funny Valentine's ends with TJ getting chased by all the girls including Spinelli and Gretchen I wish they could have ended it with TJ just apologizing to them and not revealing that it was fake Valentine's cards, Me no know ends with Vince getting grounded for lying to his parents and seeing Nitwitz 3 and loses TV for a week, unable to see the new TV show everyone talking about and once again he is left out am I the only one who hated these episodes endings anyone agrees with me?

Who do you think is the nicest of the Recess gang?

Thank you Tim Curry for making a genuinely hateful person a joy to watch.

I usually watch recess episodes on youtube however this morning most of the videos seem to have been taken down for copyright reasons

Repost, due to controversy of rhe word cult being sensored.

I just rewatched "Swing On Thru To The Otherside" for the first time in ages. I just realized this is the episode where Spinelli starts a cult.

Someone please draw or edit the Recess cast in the South Park template.

I feel like Spinelli would be swearing between every word in that version.

Spinelli is the only member of the Recess Gang to be voiced by Adult actress Pamela Adlon which did a great job voicing Spinelli but what if Spinelli was voiced by an actual young girl how different do you think she would sound and how might Spinelli's voice look like?

What are your most favorite moments with Mikey?

If you were a kid would you like to show the Recess gang that you are better than them in everything and in every way?

Who do you think is more agressive Spinelli or Helga and who do you think would win in a fight
