They lived inside someone's PC. If remember inthe last episode of the third season they crashed the entire hard drive in a final ditch effort to stop the virus (or whatever it was). Then it showed typing on a computer screen asking to reboot the computer and the "user" typed in yes.

Reboot certainly had some of the most original and creative concepts I've seen in a cartoon.

Um there was a firewall. It was in the beginning of the 3rd season.. Bob was shot out into the web by Megabyte, and Enzo was left to protect the system. Bob gave him the ability to become a guardian but not a full one. He was supposed to go to the supercomputer to train but he lost in a game against a very powerful user that was likea demon. The demon slashed his eye. However Enzo and his girlfriend plus his dog all double clikc their icons to AI to become game sprites and then the 3rd season 2nd part begins with the search for bob/mainframe section of the show.

The final episodes of reboot leads to teh final battle with Megabyte, Matrix (Adult enzo) went face to face with Megabyte but couldn't kill him because it would go against his code. However Megabyte activated a auto-shutdown. He got that from the head-only Phong by tortuing him. However Mouse was able to prevent Megabyte from leaving the system and a bunch of tenctles came out and took MB away. Now the system was shutting down and people (sprites) were getting killed and users from old games that the mainframers fought before. Heck during the final epsiodes there was cameos from otehr shows well in a way.. We had sailor moon like characters appear, indiana jones, kiss, etc.

For the system to be restored, bob thought he would let the user do the work and viola the system was saved and restored... EVeyrhting was changed back to the original way.

Everything Turtledude2k3 said, plus some more detail on the anti-virus and firewall seen in the show:

Bob WAS the anti-virus, in a way. He was trained in the supercomputer in the net or someplace outside of Mainframe and then transfered (downloaded) to Mainframe to be their Guardian, as they were constantly losing in games and innocent people were being turned into those slug-things. As Guardian, Bob had to keep Mainframe safe from all threats, be they games or Viruses like Megabyte.

The firewall was used near the end of the second season, I believe. Basically it was a big dome of red energy built around Megabyte's fortress to keep him locked in, that way he couldn't terrorize Mainframe anymore. But while Enzo was trapped in game space, Megabyte broke the firewall down and invaded Mainframe or something.

Memory's a little hazy, but I think that's how it went.

I remeber that show. I only saw a few episodes of it and thought it was a great show. There was also an episode based on Evil Dead 2. It had Ash and he had his chain saw hand and he was in that cabin. Anyone see that episode? I haven't but I'll post some screen caps of it later.

Yeah, that was a cool episode. As a horror movie fan I enjoyed all the refernces. Enzo turned into Michael Jackson from Thriller, Dot turned into Mortisha from the Adams Family at first and then tore her dress up until she more closely resembled Elvira.

The Evil Dead references were sweet (the cabin, the Book of the Dead, the cellar, "I'm dead before Dawn! I'm dead before dawn!"). And, of course, Ash appearing as the villain (even if he only said "Groovy" over and over again). He also faired pretty well as an enemy. He shot Frisket in the face at point-blank range with his boomstick.

Ash appeared again at the very end of the third season when all the old game villains were attacking Mainframe. Frisket mauled him to pieces.

If I recall, the final episode ended with a new Enzo being created because Matrix forgot to change his formatting, Enzo says "So who's the big ugly green dude?"

Yes that's correct. Guardians are basically the anti-virus. I should have explained it but anyways, ok Bob wasn't a full guardian all the time, just a basic Guardian. He became a guaridna In Deamon's Rising, there was a flashback in the supercomputer where this girl (can't remember her name) and Bob were and also was Kilobyte a minor virus that became Megabyte. However, Kilobyte got so strong he evolved, then a portal opened and he was changing into Gigabyte, who was transported to Mainframe.. Upon arriving in Mainframe, Gigabyte was split into 2, Megabyte and Hexadecimal. Hexadecimal even told Dot in the movie that she was created by Dot's father Welman Matrix who was created a portal but failed when the experiment failed.

Before the virus went to mainframe, it killed the girl and knocked Bob's out of focus.. When he woke up, the virus was gone and he went to help his' friend but she died and her keytool "Glitch" took her power and knowledge and asorbed it and then it went to bob and gave him everything becoming BOB the guardian.. Then Bob went to mainframe to find Kilobyte/Megabyte/Gigabyte.. Upon arriving he met Dot who blamed him for destorying mainframe, twin city.

That's how the show really began.

Glitch seperates from Bob, breifly restorting him to his "Inter-Face" mode (he'd later be restored to his original form), and functions properly again, it has a hand in exposing the fake Bob as Megabyte.

I don't think it still airs in the US, but it comes on here in Canada every Friday night on YTV. I usually watch it around 11 or so.

Reboot!!

Hey.

Remember that old show called REBOOT?

Well I do. Check my public profile you should see a picutre of megabyte saying "I want you". This is one of my favorite tv shows. It was also the first cgi show and have over 30 episodes and 2 movies..

The movies are "Daemon's Rising" and "My Two Bobs" the end of the 2nd one leaves us with questions and according to sources there is a script already doen but I guess they are busy with making others show.

Mainframe entertainment is the company that created the show. You may have seen beast machines or something.. You know..

So uh anyone here on technodrome have seen this?

I have all episodes and both movies on tape. i want to find a way to convert my tapes onto a dvd to preserve the memories. If I had a program and something to put my vcr onto thecomputer, I could record all the episodes and spread the love of the show to people like you..

If I could do it..

Yeah, I remember the show. It was the first time I've ever seen a TV show done entirely with computer generated graphics. I was absolutely amazed as a kid.

And Turtledude... way to leech that sig from reboot.com.
