There’s nothing weirder than someone else’s nostalgia. Case in point: The animated series ReBoot (the first two seasons of which Shout! Factory is releasing on DVD this week), hailed as the first completely computer-animated half-hour TV series. If you were young enough to be watching Saturday morning cartoons in 1994, when the series debuted, you may be excited about revisiting Guardian Bob and his adventures in protecting the Mainframe from Megabyte. Those of us without fond memories are more likely to look at this rudimentary animation and cringe a bit at how far the medium has come in a relatively short time.
