WAIT... Remember Teacher's Pet? 

Thanks so much for watching! Have you seen Teacher’s Pet? What do you think about it?

I once knew a kid in class who was absolutely terrified of this dude's artstyle. Like to the point he would actually scream and run out of the class.

When you mentioned that Gary also made the art for Cranium I had an “I KNEW IT” moment. His art really has an interesting way of sticking out! As for Teacher’s Pet, I remember watching it but don’t remember anything from it besides the concept. Another show to revisit in the future, for sure!

The thing I remember most about Teacher's Pet is just how sharp and witty the writing was, especially for an early-2000 Disney cartoon. Despite the silly concept, it had a certain air of sophistication about it that most cartoons at the time lacked. And it was super funny at the same time. Probably the biggest turnoff for me were the character designs. They're honestly just so bizarre and unpleasant to look at, but now that I know the artist behind them had a history in fine art, I can see the designs from a fresh new perspective. I get it now.

I'm currently rewatching the show all the way up to the movie. I feel like the reason the movie bombed was because it wasn't on the same level of popularity or exposure as Recess or Rugrats

I remember owning a Cranium board game with all these characters. And I haven’t seen that many episodes of this show.

I loved this series and Baseman’s art style. It’s really memorable and I loved the voices. The movie was an awesome musical and I liked that it put a perfect finale to the series. My favorite character was Leonard’s mom and Mr. Jolly.

One of my favorite unique Disney cartoons growing up when it aired on Disney's One Saturday Morning and Toon Disney, also I agree aside from the voice cast and the music, the designs done by Gary Baseman were another unique aspect to the show and it's 2004 film and why whenever I see the Cranium character designs I immediately recognize them as the one's seen in Teacher's Pet. Hope you get to do a video on The Buzz on Maggie, Randy Cunningham and Penn Zero whenever you get the chance.

I’m always amazed how you can consistently find these shows that were buried deep in my memory. I remember watching this show on Saturday mornings. Totally would have forgot about it until your video. Thanks!

I watched the movie countless times as a kid to the point I can recite it. I believe I found it at a garage sale! I’ve only seen the show once after the movie though so I don’t remember it unfortunately

Teacher's Pet was my absolute FAVORITE Disney show when I was growing up!!!! I was in preschool when it aired, so a fantastical story of an intelligent dog going to school sparked a love of learning. My mom took me to the theaters twice to see the movie and even had a coworker tape it (when it played on Disney Channel) so I could continue to watch it. I loved learning as a kid, and Scott Leadready II was a huge motivator. The music, the art, the real emotion. They don't make kids shows like this anymore!

Yes, I recall this show, as well as the movie which it was spun off from. Nathan Lane was the perfect voice for Spot/Scott!

You're definitely one of the best youtubers I've had the pleasure of stumbling upon. Everything from your editing, commentary, and the content you cover. No one does these older/lesser known shows justice as well as you do.

Yep, I remember Teacher's Pet. I remember the voice of the mom is the actress who played Eric Redman's mom, "Kitty" in That 70s Show. I loved the show a kid :)

I’ve been rewatching it on Disney+. Looks good in high def. You can clearly see that the backgrounds were painted on a canvas, which is amazing.

This show was such a distant memory for me. Just rewatched it, along with the movie, a little over a year ago on Disney+, and you know what, it’s still pretty entertaining.

honestly with an artstyle like this i would expect a darker tone like invader zim

This show IS a core memory for me, even if I only watched it a short time. But I remember watching it while in the first grade and that's some of the earliest memories I have.

My sister and I loved this show, it would air during lunch time after school, so we would rush home and turn on the tiny tv in the kitchen to watch while eating. This is the kind of show that although I still love it, might not really need a reboot, it simply worked as is.

I think this show would've profited from a more 'Ed, Edd, n Eddy' approach. As a Frasier fan, I love how subtly sophisticated Kelsey Grammer can get and he makes great shows (Girlfriends, Half&Half) but cartoons at this time thrived off of being a little odd, a little weird. The art of this show gives you that impression and then clashes a bit with the more tame approach.

I remember seeing the trailer for the movie on some DVDs back when I was a kid. I really wanted to see it, but never got it. I finally got to see the movie only about a year ago with Disney +. I found the songs enjoyable, if a little odd considering this was Teacher's Pet, which had no songs. But they seemed somewhat self-aware. My biggest problem was that the plot really gets going near the end of the second act, I guess. And how the movie ends was really weird. The third act has the rising action, the climax, a weird revival-from-death scene, and then it ends. No falling action, just credits which showed the family coming back from the trip.

Teacher's Pet was a fun show to watch on TV but it's sort of a pain to binge. I love Nathan Lane, but Scott's pretentious monologues get old after a while. Plus, I don't think this is the sole reason it bombed, but I feel like the movie would've sold more tickets if they advertised that it was the finale. I remember being a kid when it came out, I skipped it. Then when it came out on DVD, we rented it, and when it ended I remembered thinking, "... Wait... Did that movie just end the show?!"

Teacher's Pet the movie was my favourite movie for about a year or so, when ever I went to sleep over at my grandparent's (which was about every month) that's the movie I rented, sometimes I'd even watch it 2 times in one night. I didn't even know for a long while that there was a show about it. Thanks for making this video, brought back lots of memories!

I have no idea how a show of this humor, tone, and visual style was ever a Disney property. I loved the movie so much

I met Wallace Shawn at Tampa Bay Comic Con, and I told him I love Teacher’s Pet. He was so happy I remember that show

I loved the art style of this cartoon; it was so unique.

No wonder this was so great the VAs are stacked with talent

I ADORED this show growing up! It deserves this sort of recognition!

This is definitely one of those shows I appreciated more as an adult than I did as a kid.

Me and my mother watched the movie on repeat for like 4 months when I was in middle school. It has alot of space in my heart

Teacher's pet was one of my favorite childhood movies as I used to watch it as a child as I would watch this movie on loop so many times as I could remember. I still have the physical copy of it and would love to watch it again

i really forgotten about this cartoon for almost 2 decades until today.

Man, when that movie came out in the theaters opening day, I remember it was me, my mom and my sister only in the theater. No one else. Kind of a shame cause I don’t think the movie is that bad.

I remember watching the movie in elementary school (during library they sometimes let us watch movies like Brave Little Toaster & James and the Giant Peach)

The art style is honestly iconic af

Yeah, I remember watching this a bit, while the idea of a something trying to blend in an be act like a normal person has been done before I felt this one did it good. I like the art style and the humor as well as the characters. I remember the episode where a park was either going to be a dog park or a skate park and Scott/ Spot was torn being which one, he wanted because of his identities in the end, theres a compromise and the park becomes both. while the show is not near the top od Disney cartoon it still is good I also have heard of the movie, but I am unsure if I have seen it or not, I may have probably seen parts of it but I’m pretty sure I haven’t seen the whole thing

I remember seeing this on a commercial or something just never watched any episodes of it. That is how unique the art of this show is that even though I barely saw anything of it I can say I remember it.

I remembered watching this show. I think it's a good show. Thanks for covering history on this.

I'm glad you covered this cartoon! I didn't have cable growing up. So I relied a lot on the ABC Disney blocks for Disney cartoons. So I was sad when it left there to go to Toon Disney. When the movie came out to DVD my brother and I rented it from Blockbuster every month. We loved the show and movie.

I ADORED the movie as a kid. I still have the 50 states song memorized. Not sure if I'd rewatch it though (not sober at least lmao)

This is like the Phineas and Ferb of the early 2000’s

Besides classical music, this show also used a lot of production music that would also be used in Ren & Stimpy, SpongeBob, Camp Lazlo, My Gym Partner’s A Monkey, among many others.

I remember this show very fondly! I remember seeing the movie on TV and the creator came on during commercial breaks and taught me how to draw eyes

Yay!! I'm happy you're covering this. XD I loved this show growing up but it always felt forgotten. Eventually revisited thinking must have just been one of those things I liked as a kid that really doesn't hold up but honestly I still really love it. Honestly I'm happy with the series as is. I'd just like to see more people talk about it because I think this series deserves more love than it got. Really does amaze me though that it got a theatrical movie like Recess, Hey Arnold, and Rugrats did.... all much bigger titles and I'm not sure any of them were considered a success? I'd really like to ask Disney why. But I'm happy it happened because I love the movie.

I'm really glad I found this channel, not only you discuss cartoons but you also discuss some underrated shows that not a lot of people talk about, so thank you 💕 I do have one show I want you to cover (special thanks to twitter for unlocking that forgotten memory lol), it's a disney XD show called The 7D It stars the 7 dwarves from Snow White, It's a show that has the dwarves saving the kingdom, doing wacky shenanigans and going on adventures It only lasted for 2 seasons before disney essentially cancelled it and completely forgetting about it, (they didn't even put it on disney+ 🙃) which is such a shame because the show had potential..

I was the only kid I knew that was dedicated to Teacher's Pet, probably because I recognized Nathan Lee Kitty from That 70s show. I watched it before school when it came on Toon Disney, I remember watching the movie when came out on DVD _that year_ , and I remember that Christy Carlson Romano song for the movie! This. Was. My. Show.

Your channel is such a nostalgia trip for me. It's like a time capsule lol. I'm so glad I found your channel and I look forward to future videos. Keep up the good work!

Oh my God, I've had this show stuck in my head and could never remember what it was called. I love this show! Thank you for making this video!

I remember going to the movie and how excited I was! Teacher Pet was one of my favorite shows on Toon Disney

I absolutely love Teachers Pet! The voice cast and stories were hilarious and entertaining! I was entering HS when the show came out but could relate with Scott of feeling like an outsider despite having overwhelming enthusiasm! Also I wanna mention that the illustrator behind Teacher's Pet also contributed to may commercials and designs for Nickelodeon in the late 80s and early 90s! I enjoy his unique, almost surreal art!

The main thing I remember about this show was that it was co-created by the dude that made Cranium, I fucking love Cranium, such a great board game.

This show was written so good, one of my favorite shows to watch before going to school.

i've binge watched this show so many times i love every second of it

I wasn’t born when this show came out and ended, and was one when the movie released. But I watched this movie a lot through my childhood and absolutely loved it. Didn’t know there was a show. Actually rewatched the movie on Disney plus and it was just as great as I remembered. I like the show as well

Man I remember watching the movie all the time. Didn't even know it was a show, just thought it was some really weird movie and I loved it. Glad you got to reviewing this show/ movie!

I never even knew this was a TV show, I just remember watching the movie on the disney channel once and then never seeing it aired again

I LOVED this show. Even dragged my Dad to the theater to see the movie when it came out. Very excited to see it talked about here; brought back fun memories 💕

This was my favorite show i been waiting on you to do this thank you

Great episode Jordan! Used to love this show and saw it in theaters. It's still a fun time and I forgot that they put it on Disney Plus! Thanks for the nostalgia love :)

This was one of my favorite movies. I love the entire cast and the art style is absolute perfection.

Yes, I do. Staring Nathan Lane and Debra Jo Rupp from That 70s Show. I remember liking it at the time for what it was.

I remember this show and loving the art style. It sort of reminded me of the cartoon on the boxes of airborne powder lol

Even though they said that Disney released all the episodes of Teacher's Pet on their streaming service, I know that there are still a few episodes missing that I vaguely remember from my childhood. Like that episode where that new girl moved to town and started picking on Leonard and Scott calling them "Teacher's Son" and "Teacher's Pet", or the episode where Scott had to decide what kind of park should be built for the town. A skatepark for the kids or a dogpark for his fellow dogs. That was the episode where I first heard the term "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally". I didn't even know what it meant back then when I first saw the episode, and didn't hear it again until I had 8th grade Algebra.

I never really watched this show as a little kid, but the thing I'm going to remember most is Gary Baseman's distinctive art style that I also saw in all the Cranium games.

I literally remember this show a lot as well as the movie when it came out I have a color newspaper clipping of Spot in her alter ego just standing over a statue saying “Boy” to this day Tho I can’t remember where it is

I had the movie on VHS as a kid, a real hidden gem

My mom and I will still sometimes say "IIIIIIIIII wannabea BOYYYYYYY!" at each other

I remember teachers pet!🐶 I don’t remember hearing about the movie though! Now I’ll have to watch it :-)

Childhood memory there. Is to watch this as a kid. When it came out on Disney Plus, best friend and I watched it. All-in-one go plus the movie.

This was one of my fave childhood show. Very wholesome.

I used to love Teachers Pet and I felt like I was the only one who knew it existed as a kid

This RU-vid channel makes me want to subscribe to Disney + and paramount and relive all my childhood shows … thanks for the awesome channel

I used to watch this while waiting for the bus to school and this video unlocked that memory for me

This was one of my favorite shows growing up 🥹🫶🏻

I kind of feel bad for the makers of Stewy the Dog Boy. They were really set to make a full Nickelodeon series, but then they had to get it scrapped to avoid any unfavorable comparison to Teacher's Pet. The pilot episode alone of the Kablam short also kind of implies that the cartoon would've done a few things differently from Teacher's Pet. Things like how none of Stewy's owners knew about his double life, but Leonard discovered Spot's secert identity from just the pilot episode. There was also no dog-hating principal or an owner being a teacher of the same school in Stewy the Dog Boy. I wonder what that alternative universe would've look like had we got both cartoons about a dog who disgused himself as a student airing in the early 2000s around the same time.

My parents knew a few things regarding keeping ‘childhood me’ content… Teachers Pet was one of those things. Portable DVD player and this movie handy was pivotal.

OMG I remember watching the movie when I was a little kid, and there are times I still remember some scenes and songs from it till this very day.

I’ve never seen this show, but I remember my elementary school having board games with this same art style. I never got to play them 🥲

I remember watching this. One of my favorites

I love this show my friends introduced the series to me back in 2020 and like it ever since. It's a special and interesting series for me It's good to see it being talked about today

As a kid, also not having a computer at the time and not too much knowledge on artists yet I was always remember thinking to myself “why is this style so similar?” And always being like “why do it look like the art on that game Cranium?” Never played cranium btw just recognized it bc of the art. Never figured out why and kinda just forgot about it all, and now I’m satisfied knowing it was the same person behind it all.

Finally something my nostalgia driven mind doesn’t remember

i just remembered this movie out of the blue while staring at my dog... so random but the movie was one of my favorites when I was a kid along with Home on the Range.

The show is really unique I liked it , also has really awesome voice cast along with art style that’s has 30s -esh cartoon style.

I used to love this show, I always thought Billy Crystal voiced the dog lol would you consider doing an episode about Lloyd in Space next? It's criminally missing from Disney Plus :(

Great video Jordan. Keep up the great work. Love your videos and personality.

OMG yes! I recently found that show and LOVE it! Good to see other people at least remember it

This was the most one of a kind TV cartoon of my generation. And I'm kind of mad at the younger me as he couldn't appreciate it

I remember the show, but not its Swedish title. Never knew this was its English title. Had started to think I had only imagined the show.

I vividly remember watching it on repeat and being fascinated by the animation

I remember that flash game, you jumped up to catch food. If you accidentally caught a grape you got stuck trying to spit it out since their poison to dogs. Game ran on a timer, so each one you caught caused to to waste time instead of score.

I haven't thought about this show in over a decade but holy crap I loved this so much

Love this show and movie! Great job!

The only reason why I remember this show is for the art style honestly

I remember seeing the movie as a kid and being obsessed with the songs. But I could not remember the major plot of the movie for my life. I would rewatch it just for a good time.

I had no idea the movie was the finale, I always thought the movie came first! I've seen the movie but only a couple episodes of the actual show

How dare you not mention Christy Carlson Romano’s song that’s been stuck in my head since the movie came out 😂

Yooo I actually do barely remember this. You just unlocked a childhood memory for me.

Yeah I don't remember the show but I remember watching that movie probably 300 times

This was one of my favorite shows growing up!
