Anybody Remember JETIX? 🧐
JETIX was my second favorite channel when I was little (my favorite being Nickelodeon).
From what I can tell from my research, the channel was used to test run different shows to see how audiences reacted to them. Hence why most of the shows that aired there were either dropped completely or made their way to other networks (i.e. Disney, Disney XD, Nickelodeon, etc.)
I'm sure that's why a surprising amount of people remember Pucca, since her show aired on Toon Disney (Ah, remember when Toon Disney was a thing?)
Pucca was one of, if not the ONLY show on JETIX that had a lasting impact, evident enough with that 2019 spin-off show on Netflix.
Other shows that I remember that sadly didn't make the cut or last too long include:
Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!
The two other shows that actually survived and were aired on different networks were:
Side note: I had a distinct memory of ONE Power Rangers show that had a talking wolf character and a silver ranger that turned into a floating bubble, and for years I was called crazy by my sister. Turns out, it all came from this version.
I love the fact that this show was my introduction to Sonic the Hedgehog and the gang. With all its 4Kids dub glory, sharing voice actors with pretty much every single series that aired there, especially YuGiOh.
For anyone who wants to ask btw, I didn't find Chris Thorndyke to be an unnecessary character until I was older. I never hated him, I'm not the type of person to radically "hate" characters at all, but I'm not gonna sit here and tell you that he was a vital character in the series either. The writers just squandered his potential, plain and simple.
Author's Note: 2000s TV shows, providing nostalgia for every late 90s and 2000s kid alike. I know JETIX isn't a relevant topic right now, but the ever-growing WordGirl fandom inspired me to take a peak into the past. (Yes, I also watched WordGirl on PBS Kids). Man, I miss these shows.
