| - NC: (wearing a "No Fear" shirt and carrying a backpack) Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, boy! (sits down and reaches into his backpack to pull out baseball and Ninja Turtles trading cards) Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! It's my favorite time of the day! Tamara: Critic, I don't think the girls in the 90s wore this many hair products. I look like...Punky Brewster's recycling bin. Malcolm: And why are my pants this baggy? Tamara: Also, why are all the logos on the back? NC: It's all part of the experience. Now sit down before it starts! Malcolm: Hey! Pepper Ann was good.

| - NC: (wearing a "No Fear" shirt and carrying a backpack) Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, boy! (sits down and reaches into his backpack to pull out baseball and Ninja Turtles trading cards) Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! It's my favorite time of the day! Tamara: Critic, I don't think the girls in the 90s wore this many hair products. I look like...Punky Brewster's recycling bin. Malcolm: And why are my pants this baggy? Tamara: Also, why are all the logos on the back? NC: It's all part of the experience. Now sit down before it starts! Malcolm: Before what starts? You're just pressing play on the DVD player. NC: You don't understand! This is the Disney Afternoon! There's a certain ritual to this: We act like we just got back from school, throw our belongings on the ground for our mothers to pick up, surround ourselves in high-fructose corn syrup, and reward ourselves for dealing with the mental scars of our tremendously flawed education system. Tamara: Wait! A-Aren't you talking about Disney's One Saturday Morning on ABC? NC: Fuck Disney's One Saturday Morning on ABC! That was just a carbon-copy cartoon-caust comparison compared to the Disney Afternoon! Malcolm: Hey! Pepper Ann was good. NC: Okay, maybe one-- Tamara: And Recess was decent. NC: Yeah, if you wanna get technical-- Malcolm: And Kim Possible. NC: Well, Kim Possible, obviously, but-- Tamara: And Proud Family. NC: Who's dissing The Proud Family? Nobody's dissing The Proud Family while I'm around! Malcolm: And there was also that other show, um...Doug. (NC's expression changes wild rapidly as he stares at Malcolm.) Yeah, that was a pretty good cartoon series. You can't deny that must've had some sort of impact on your life-- NC: (after punching Malcolm) What you're both missing is that the Disney Afternoon had a timeless sense of magic and wonder that was the perfect welcome-home from a long day of schoolhouse popularity or awkward social punishment. So, if there's no other comparisons to "lesser forms of art"... (turning to look at Malcolm who is covering his chin with his hand) Malcolm: (whimpering) I can't feel my teeth... NC: We'll go ahead and get started! (The intro to Disney Afternoon begins.) NC (excitedly): Oh, my God! Here we go! Here we go! (He puts his arms around Malcolm and Tamara excitedly.) Singer: (while NC dances with his friends) ♫ Step right up and come on in! Here's where the fun begins! There's so much to do! Getting ready just for you! Everybody's busy bringing you a Disney Afternoon! Hey! Can't you feel the buzz? Well, come on and feel the buzz because everybody's busy! Just a little dizzy! Bringing you a Disney Afternoon! ♫ NC (vo): (Clips from the Disney Afternoon shows playing) For the first time ever from 1990-1997, Disney took some of its hit syndicated shows and ran them with all-new material in a two-hour block called the Disney Afternoon. Sure, there were some reruns and specials featuring the old classic Disney cartoons before then, but this was the first time Disney put a slew of new programming back to back in one glorious lineup. Most of it timeless (DuckTales, Gargoyles); some of it not so much (Quack Pack and the Mighty Ducks), but we'll get to that when we get to that. NC: Let's look at Disney's first installment, Gummi Bears.
