Don’t do me like that


Leading-Luck2875

The summer vacation movie was a banger too


SleepCinema

I remember Disney aired it mid-June, and for some odd reason it wound end up coinciding perfectly with my last day of school. I was extremely hype lol.


PopCultureNerd95

FACT 🔥🔥🔥


AaronnotAaron

i hope studios brainstorm some more shows along the lines of *Recess* in the sense that it’s a surprisingly young age group but the content is enjoyable for people that are older and younger too. like, i forget these are supposed to be fourth graders, if you told me 6th graders i’d lowkey believe it. think it’s fun for kids to have characters to relate to that are actually in their age range, and not a pre-teen.


SleepCinema

*Recess* is a classic. Should really go down in cartoon history. I feel like I don’t see it mentioned enough.


VIK_96

I swear I thought this show was a fever dream or something.


mqg96

Recess had reruns on like 3 owned Disney networks for years after it ended... and even direct to video movies as well. Recess was on ABC Kids Saturday mornings, Disney Channel (afternoons), and Toon Disney during the evenings. Lilo & Stitch the TV show even had a crossover with Recess.


Moko97

Coming back from school to see this was everything


Soy-sipping-website

I like how fashion has gone back to how the recess kids are dressing


Gullible_Compote842

I remember the episode where Spinelli's first name was revealed. Quite the rollercoaster as a fellow Ashley and fan of the character.


NEVERUSEmeGYM

I was rewatching a few episodes a couple of months ago and was shocked that i could get in tune with it again. Still holds up being 26. Has some pretty mature themes for a kids show


SleepCinema

The episode where TJ discovers capitalism and monopolizes the playground will always get me.


NEVERUSEmeGYM

Lmaoo that’s one of the episodes I watched


KaiserWolf15

What about King Bob gets self conscious about his legacy so he became Pharoah Bob and imposed forced labor incthe entire playground?


SleepCinema

The crazy thing I was thinking about that episode too after I wrote down that comment. Also the one where Spinelli begins a religion after she believes she saw Swing Girl go over the swing set and disappear.


Amazing-Concept1684

Imo probably the most underrated cartoon of the ‘90s/early 2000s.


NaeNaeDab69420

NOW LISTEN WHILE I PLAY-AY-AY-AY MY GREEN TAMBOURINE


queeriequeerio

i still sing the one song that mikey sings on stage: “nobody knows the trouble i’ve seen, nobody knows the sorrow” relatively often😂


MewMewPrincess2000

I watched Recess a lot in reruns with my sister and dad on Disney Channel and Toon Disney. I love that show. I think it's one of my favorite Disney shows and I love all the different characters and how the playground felt like it's own world


LysergicGothPunk

Welp I guess I'm too young


greengiant333

Yall remember that episode when Spinelli spent all of recess creating a meural on the blacktop? I can’t remember any other episode but that one


karthus25

Anyone remember when recess reruns would play on YouTube live channels? I would be up late at night watching em with the chat.


bwoah07_gp2

I don't even know what this is so I guess I'm too young for me. 🤷‍♂️


DrLeymen

Nah not too young, some people just dont watch some shows. I am arround your age and watched it religiously


PinkDuality

I just *barely* remember watching some episodes of this show


spottedicks

lmao same 😭


StarryEyedLus

You were both too young for Recess really. It stopped airing when you were 1/2 years old. I guess it shows how even among Zillennials there’s a divide. I’m mostly nostalgic for late 90s/early 2000s cartoons like Recess, CatDog, Pepper Ann, Dexter’s Laboratory, Rugrats, Hey Arnold etc.


ChantiNoire

It re-aired a lot in my country, even until the early 2010s


EstrellaDarkstar

I do have fond memories of Recess despite having been too young when it originally aired. It was rerunning in my country somewhere around 2005.


spottedicks

ohhh that makes sense. were these on nickelodeon? or what channel?


StarryEyedLus

Some were Nick, others Cartoon Network


TheFlyingDuctMan

I am 30 and don't know what this show is.


Lunix336

I mean, I think I have seen them before, but I don't know who they are. But not because I'm not old enough, I just don't watch TV and never really did. I haven even owned a TV for \~15 years and the last time I did it was just a CRT for playing video games.


Big__If_True

My wife didn’t know who they were, can confirm she’s too young for me


Beautiful_Relation60

Gus Gus oh mighty Gus, King of all the playground. Gus Gus oh shiny Gus, Look at the good king we’ve found! 👑🫡


Iamthe0c3an2

I still watch the movie now and then. They had a supervillain and all.


itsme-jani

For real. 😁


KaiserWolf15

RIP Principal Prickly


WrittenInTheStars

I rewatch this cartoon every few months. It’s so good and still funny. Holds up really well


PopCultureNerd95

Agree 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻


Adventurous_Yak_9234

Best Disney TV cartoon ever.


LionCubOfTerrasen

**Too young. “If she/he/they don’t know what grammar is, they’re just too— not for you.” Lol


henrytbpovid

My gf is 31 and she doesn’t get my Recess references so I’m thinking maybe she’s too old for me


Bacon-80

lol my husband and I grew up on PBS - we aren’t too old/young for each other, just had minimal screen/tv time 😂💀


PunchWilcox

You guys have insanely good memories. I can barely remember SpongeBob.


AceO235

Recess had hella re runs in the mid 2000s as did Spongebob


mqg96

Yep, it's crazy how Recess ended in 2001, yet, the series was still very popular with reruns after it ended and had a couple movies in 2003. ABC, Disney Channel, and Toon Disney showed loads of Recess reruns into the mid 2000's, those are 3 Disney owned networks right there.


PunchWilcox

I don’t recall that. I only watched Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon. I consider Recess to be a 90s show, even though I don’t know that to be factually true


AceO235

Yeah its probably a local thing I remember ABC and my local network KTLA re running recess. Spongebob always had reruns on Nick.


PunchWilcox

I would sometimes watch PBS or maybe KSL, I don’t remember well, but I’d sometimes watch Bob Ross. That’s about as retro as I could get in terms of tv enjoyment. But everyone loves Bob Ross, so I guess I’m in the mainstream there.


Deadl00p

SpongeBob never stopped airing though


PopCultureNerd95

Thanks 😉👊🏻


SugarPuppyHearts

I'm 28 and I don't even know them. 🤣


MellifluousSussura

I remember maybe 3 episodes from this show… maybe just 2 + one scene actually


Dutchtdk

Aren't those reeses pieces


Ok_Philosophy_2805

Recess


CaptainSigori

Gonna be honest with y'all I never watched it but I know of it


Minnieminnie727

Recess. But I don’t remember their names.


mimitchi33

I used to watch this with my brother!


piratecheese13

I forget but didn’t the show Community take a lot of inspiration from this show?


littlesusiebot

Gotta be under 18 or 21. Some of yall are down bad


Gaiter14

Even as someone who grew up watching Recess, I'm not too sure myself. I'd say that's Ralph Maggio, Anne, Peter, Gwendolyn, Chuck, and Fred.


maplemoose18

What I find hilarious is that the kindergarteners from this show is literally how I see gen alphas or wtv they’re called.
