1. The nostalgia… it’s too much!

2. I have very fond memories of this show, specifically because of the online games. Literally one of them was being a private investigator, with the suspects being photos of real ass people 😭

   Your reviews of each season made me go “oooh” bc I’d realize a new detail that was in the games lol

3. 2:59 woah holy shit nostalgia kick right there

4. I always enjoyed the contestants and their challenges more than the convoluted plot developments.
   Also, nothing speaks to my dissatisfaction with the show more than to explain that in between each season they would play reruns of previous episodes. Even after season 6 was canceled they still played reruns. Imagine already disliking a story and then watching it a million times x)

5. IVE BEEN ASKING PEOPLE IF THEY REMEMBERED THIS SHOW FOR YEARS AND FINALLY!!

6. I wanted to watch this show for ages but never knew when it would be on, finally found it on cable one day, but it was an episode where they were in some sort of pyramid with traps. They ended up having to sort these hieroglyphs while the roof was going down, about to crush them, and that fucking horrified me as a kid LMAO. After the episode ended (I believe they won a necklace or something, just a random detail) I just started crying hahaha

7. season 1: vacation for everyone
   season 2: trophy
   season 3: trophy
   season 4: wearable trophy

8. God, I loved this show so much as a kid and I went to the website a TON. I was so sad when I heard it got canceled 😢

9. God, I swear Fetch with Ruff Ruffman was the ENTIRE reason I got so into science and STEM as a kid. Even at my ripe age of 19 going on 20, I still play the pbs games religiously whenever they come to mind. That show will always hold such a big place in my heart.

13. I wanted to be on this show so badly as a kid

14. I always saw fetch as kinda boring, which but it was usually either before word girl or Martha speaks which was always good

15. Havent watched the video yet but god i used to love this show. I still think about the episode about like statistics and possible combinations and things from time to time.

16. I'd always see commercials for this show but it was just never on. It must have aired while I was at school.

17. the first season was so fun, i love how all the kids got to share in the prize

18. there used to be a game on the pbs kids go website where you built roller coasters with ruff ruffman, and he would ride them and give input on how fun they were. it was fun, but then one day i went to play it again and it was gone. it was a pretty big part of my childhood, and my go to game when i was bored

27. Zoom used to be the shit. I remember when they did a play thing, and made the fat kid play a rock.

28. Man, that must have REALLY sucked for the 6th season contestants. Imagine getting selected to play in this awesome show and then have to get the news that it was canceled

29. I wonder the contestants are doing these days? Especially the winners.

30. I used to wish I could audition to be on the show when I was a kid. The episodesi remember are racing a dolphin, something about fancy dining, a haunted castle and there was a mirror showing a skeleton, the milking goats, and the buoyancy finale. Big fan still from Hawaii! Aloha! 🌺

31. I figured it was a game show as a kid and man did I wanted to join so bad
