@@pichugirl6yeah but it does make a bit funnier that it's coming from the gym teacher so in a sense she could just really misinformed on how pokemon works
@@pichugirl6 Actually I looked it up. Geodude DID learn Harden at level 28 in the original Gen 1 pokemon games. For some reason (probably that it learns an identical move SO much earlier) this was eventually removed.
You'll come to learn pretty fast that EVERY kid runs from the safety patrol. The fact that even if they get away they still have to go back to school the next day or worse, the school goes to their house never crosses their minds.
Pretty sure they do this on the show because the point of it is that it's supposed to be a parody of cop dramas and both in real life and in cop dramas, criminals will often run away from the law and if careful enough can get away without being caught.
I mean they're kids. Makes sense if the cops show up telling you to freeze you think you've been caught. Specially because every kid that runs is normally doing something they don't want to be caught doing.
That little thing on Ingrid's desk is a sort of figure of Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet, a 1956 sci fi movie. Fallout's Protectrons are based on that design.
There is one thing every Filmore fan agrees on: even though he is just a kid and volunteer in something that at most he may be able to mention in his college application if he continues it in high school, Valejo deserves a raise
At the very least, he deserves a lot more recognition for putting up with Filmore, Ingrid, and, of course, the more incompetent clowns that inhabit the safety patrol offices.
@@comettamer well the only competent patrollers Vallejo's ever had are Sherrif Wayne Liggit, Fillmore, Third, Tehama, Anza and O'Farrell...when he isn't having a case of klutziness...I mean have you ever seen anyone on that show make a better photograph than Danny does?" He even made his evidence gathering Olsen-style sound intimidating once just by this recipe for film developement...Baking Soda, Coffee Grounds, Vinegar and most importantly this one liner. *"Show me to a room (lowers voice) a DARK room."*
In high school I had terrible grades, didn't want to do the work, didn't pay attention in class. But when it came to the state tests I would always score high. So I think more than just these aptitude tests are a problem with our education system, I genuinely believe our education system is entirely set up to cater to one particular type of person
The Texas TAKS test I took as a kid was always a laughingstock and considered a waste of time, until you realize it was a test of basic competency. If you failed you DESERVED to be looked at closer. They replaced it with a modified version of the California test, which is brutal and actively tries to trip up students with confusing wording and structure. That is what messes up the system. There's nothing wrong with a basic competency test
Yes, i mean tests should at least go for different angles and learning types, not filter onew exact person. Which i guess one test might, why some dfifferent aproaches and chance to have like work do most would probably the most important. And not bloody decide that budget for a school,
I always hated timed tests. I never completed them in time. I still did good on standardized tests but not as good as I would have if I could've finished them.
Things like this episode are great examples for why the concept of Chesterton's fence is needed. For any intellectuals who don't know or need a refresher, Chesterton's Fence is the rule of thought perscribing that before something is to be changed or destroyed, you must first understand why it was made to begin with. I know that this episode delt more in the micro-context of a macro-system (students v. Government testing) but it was nice to hear Shady actually address the conflict and system as a whole.
Standardized tests were originally created to solve a problem: schools in America had wildly different curriculums, and there was no way to know what any random student would most likely know. This made it very difficult for colleges and employers to know what skills they could expect new students or employees to know.
Oh, this theme is a classic in fantasy books. "Hey, we are building a road but a stupid old shrine is in the way, that nobody cares about anyway. Let's destroy the shrine. Oh shit, there was a evil god sealed in the shrine." And in real live as well I've read of far too many cases where something new was built over something old or some new law was created which invalidated some old. And each and every time it only had bad consequences.
One of the biggest problems with the Standardized Test model is that school funding relies on students doing well, when in reality, schools that do poorly could use that money more. It encourages school to, instead of teaching useful information, such as how to file taxes, how to balance a checkbook, budgeting, and even a few types of chores, they have to cram the information that's *on* the tests, which outside of certain situations, is mostly useless.
Schools rarely get to decide what they teach, that stuff is sorted by the curriculum. Also, the tests cannot reward schools that do poorly, that would create a race to the bottom scenario. The tests could be neutral on funding and allocate funding based on a per capita basis or something like that, but then schools would have essentially no incentive to improve how they do things.
But part of the issue being seen now is the schools that just keep getting funding without actually keeping the teachers to a certain expectation of results. The number of kids coming through with diplomas who are barely able to read, right, or do basic math is higher than ever. Instead of getting good teachers that care if the kids actually improve they keep paying a fleet of teachers who simply pass the failing kids to the next grade because they either gave up or don’t care. Look it up, I wish I was making this up. Kids that are supposed to be ready for entry classes in college are instead barely on a 7th grade education level if they’re lucky. Part of it is the students believing that learning is pointless and a waste of time, but part of it is the teachers themselves believing the same, or more accurately that teaching these kids is a waste of time. Standardized tests have helped make this mess but potentially can be modified to fix it, IF the schools and school boards are given real incentives and financial ability to hire teachers who give a damn and IF teachers unions work to ensure that their members don’t simply do just barely enough to qualify for a paycheck.
I actually had a class on budgeting and managing finances as part of my math class in my junior or senior year in high school. But I dont think it was a school mandate, we just had a really cool math teacher.
God, No Care Left for Blacks. Federally-sponsored funding rejections for "poor test scores", allowing them to pull funding, which lowers test scores, which lowers funding, ad infinium... I got out just after they replaced it, and I don't miss that learning environment for 1 second. Some of my teachers, maybe, but not at all what they were forced to teach.
Along with “The Love Bug”, I just hope Disney never remembers this existed. I’m lucky in that regard, my favorite stuff of theirs is too obscure for modern Disney to bother messing with.
@@Savagewolver While true, that doesn’t mean any other Disney cartoon will get that lucky. The DuckTales reboot may have been a lightning in a bottle, or simply was lucky enough to have the right people involved. Unless given to a production team that loves the original content, a reboot/remake will always be a risk that tends to fail. I don’t blame others for being cautious.
Doorag, as someone who has watched EVERY episode of this show a ridiculous number of times; being surprised at a restaurant exclusively selling eggrolls is nothing! You should do a list of all of the ridiculous clubs/organizations at X Middle School! They have a club for darn near everything making you question how big is this dang school?!
Honestly it's not just Fillmore, i remember a lot of Disney toons at the time have a lot of weird Restaurants and stores based on silly gimicks. Especially the Weekenders where they had that pizza shop with a new gimmick every episode.
@@Tomeroche ok now THAT was hilarious! You never knew what kind of theme they'd have but it makes you wonder how in the world could that pizza joint afford the constant remodeling?!
@@Tomeroche True, but the thing is most of those shows took place in a wider setting (a city or even a town for example) that could feasibly be expected to support whatever random businesses would pop up here and there
Seriously, why isn't this one on Disney+? Where's its reboot? It's not as if police procedurals have gone away, there's plenty to mine from for story ideas.
When it comes to having standardized tests as an adult, I've learned the hard way that what you know doesnt really matter compared to who you know, so maybe schools focusing more on trades or required volunteering whoud do a lot more for the kids future then schools just drilling into students heads how to fill out paper circles
Honestly any show that would pay attention to those details and allows the audience to figure it out without treating them as dumb is really good. So far both episodes had those moments where you can notice something on the rewatch that was found out later on.
The Egg Rollery reminds of one of my favorites stories I like to say about my mom. First and foremost , my mother is a born and bread Korean, that met with a US army guy, and I came along less than a year later. Some years ago, my mother was expirementing with different food ideas to feed my dad and myslef healthier things. She fell on burritos, but everyone she made looks like wrap. I told how to roll up a proper burrito thanks to my time working at a Taco Bell. Before I can finish explaining the process, she connected it to rolling up an eggroll. When I thought about it, they were the same things just on different scales. The next day, she handed me a burrito rolled up tighter than any burrito I've seen.
They missed the torn shorts because of how high it was. Humans usually have a look limit of about 45⁰ upward. Anything higher can typically be in a blind spot. It's why the best hiding spot for when you're playing hide and seek is somewhere up high.
Most Humans only bother to look superficially for most things within their eye level sight.So hiding underneath something or behind something, very large and heavy will often be more than enough.If you can't get somewhere very high up. I believe the 45° upward angle thing was also used and mentioned in oddly enough.Of ninja turtles cartoon.Where they explain how they're so easily able to hide from human sight.They just go out of the normal human looking range
@@connoromalley4004 Honestly that sounds like something a school would set up as a reward system to try and encourage kids to do well on tests, or have good behaver. A pass that they can cash in to break a rule from a set list (Can't let it be total freedom) one time. Like oh you diched class here's your pass saying you can this time
I remember this show from when I was a kid and enjoyed the child versions of “big crimes” (smuggling baseball cards, stealing test scores, the Hannibal Lecter tribute), the Junior Commissioner having a “coco problem” … good times 😎😎😎 Thanks for the great new video Shady and *please* go hug your furbabies all 💙🐱💙 (As I type this one of my kitties Cynder is waiting for a vet visit, please spare any prayers for him?)
The thing that gets me is the baseball counterfeiting scheme was a LIGIT crime. Like the FBI investigates that one level of crime! Always bugged me that the show never got a third season to revisit some of these guys
Personally, i think the COMPREHENSION is more important then memorisation. But there is no denying that memorisation is a valuable ability too. Key is balance.
Something interesting is Fillmore has way more of a delinquent past than Ingrid, so if anything, he should be the one who knows how to break into locked rooms.
The principal taking off her glasses, putting them on, and then taking them off again is a joke/gag. Taking them off is for dramatic effect, a trope in cop dramas, so the gag is that she previously took them off so she had to put them back on so she could do the trope. lol
"Without sensibility no object would be given to us, without understanding no object would be thought. Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind." ~ Immanuel Kant, "Critique of Pure Reason" Many over-achievers at my high school had a near photographic memory or just had an excellent memory all round and at that time in my country high school tests were designed to prepared for University selection standard test (a long test with multiple alternative selection) there was no room for practical and conceptualization of knowledge.
Fillmore came out when I was in grade 11 and even though I wasn't the target audience, I was always a Disney Afternoon kid growing up, and Fillmore was a fun show to just plop down in front of the couch with a bag of chips or a pizza pop after school and just destress for a moment. Always thought it was well written back then and it's great to see others enjoy it.
Uggg standardized test were NOT MEANT TO TEST STUDENTS! They were invented because people only wanted to hire graduates from the rich schools because they supposedly had a better quality of education. So the standardized test were supposed to either prove that all graduates had the same quality of education or to fret out which schools needed to have government funding funneled to them and which schools had enough rich backers not to need additional government support. It was a stop gap measure that was supposed to prevent classist prejudice in a small area. It wasn’t meant to be the one end all be all test of a person’s worth.
And funny enough, it only made the problem of prejudice worse. Thanks to programs like "race to the top" and "no child left behind", Under performing schools get their funding slashed, While schools that perform to expectation get their funding increased. This creates a feedback loop where the poor schools get poor and the rich schools get richer.
@@BlitzkriegOmega Exactly! The guy who came up with standardized test knew it was a flawed idea and it was just supposed to be a stop gap measure until they could come up with a better solution. Plus studies have shown that funding alone doesn’t actually make that much of a difference in terms of student grades. The two big reasons being that the quality of teachers remains the same before and after any funding increases and the reason that the “rich” school graduates were doing better in the work force was less because of the quality of the students and more because of the social connections that having rich parents provided them. Having a “quality education” was just the excuse that people came up with to justify their bias so in the end equalizing the quality of education across the board was never going to fix the real problem anyway.
I always strugled with menorizing subjects for tests, and over time I would strugle more whenever I got a song or scene from a movie stuck in my head. I used that to my advantage and converted the topics I was studying into the lyrics of the songs in my head. Worked like a charm.
@@ShadyDoorags Maybe for some people. But I feel like when I was in school, that didn't work on me because I was more focused on the actual song or rhyme rather than the information it was meant to instill. My teachers would always use Schoolhouse Rock in lessons, but it would always fly over my head, maybe partly because it was so overplayed that I just found it obnoxious.
Fun fact: In most games, Geodude can't learn Harden because it can learn Defence Curl at an earlier level, Defence Curl can be used more than Harden and Defence Curl has the additional effect of boosting moves like Rollout, making Harden redundant. Geodude can only learn Harden in Gen 1 (Red/Blue/Yellow), Gen 2 (Gold, Silver, Crystal) and oddly, part of Gen 8 (Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl). Don't know why since those last two are remakes and it couldn't learn Harden there. This ep came out in September 2002, two months before the Japanese release of Gen 3 (Ruby and Sapphire) and eight months before its US release, so her reference was outdated in less than a year.
I remember the Geodude joke verbatim from when I watched this as a child because it was so random and so specific for an American cartoon to explicitly reference an IP like that.
Hey! On the boxer shorts thing. Humans don't typically look up higher than a 75 degree angle unless they are directly informed something is above them. Similar for down. Though we're a little more observant of what's at our feet. That said, they heard the suspect climbed through the window, and thus should have checked there.
Really I check the ceiling and up high me constantly as it's a habit after the hornets nest incident so I never realized it wasn't common for people not to check up
@@kingthe13 That's fair. Sorry you had that incident with the hornet's nest. It's like this golden angle thing. Wee CAN see further up or down, we just don't think to.
Standardized testing wouldn't be so bad if the subjects being tested were actually useful. A lot schools (at least here in Texas) will speedrun through everything that's gonna appear on the tests, while everything else is left on the back burner. The only things I learned were from the reading comprehension sections, where I found out that bees becoming extinct wouldn't necessarily cause the end of the world, and that Dagwood Bumstead was born rich but disinherited when he married Blondie.
and Blondie was the star of the comic with an active dating life before some kind of moral panic hit and the writer was forced to marry her off to the current boyfriend and change direction to a domestic sitcom vibe.
I clicked so fast from your Mr freeze video,I’ll go back and finish that but this hit me in my childhood. Shady PLEASE PLEASE CONSIDER DOING A THE BIG O REVIEW . It was so many of our first anime’s showing on Cartoon Network,it was legitimately Bruce Wayne with mechs.
As someone with ADHD, I was considerd severly behind academically in middle school, and now im top of my class in high school. the SATs are not accurate, if they were, i would be considered very stupid. Edit:Wow, thanks for the positivity
Same i nearly flunked out twice due to my ADHD and the fact that most normal meds didn’t work only risperdone helped. My automotive trade teacher helped me with practical applications. I hate the us school system.
@@00220022inferno i know i know. My parents and siblings say the same thing but, the feeling runs deeper. That paralyzation while your mind is screaming for you to work. And you feel anxiety and anger your constant frustrated. The fact you can’t even focus on something that needs to be focused on a moment without medication or exteam control. It gets at least for me and those i know easier as you get older but it feels like dirty grease is being used on my brain gears.
As someone that got held back on the F Cat TWICE, I agree 100% with you. Their are SOME subjects that are certainly better suited to Demonstration then Academic book learning.
They were basically mocking the "no child left behind" policy that created the overwhelming need for schools to do well on mandated aptitude tests which also incentivized schools to rely on "social promotion" in order to deal with underperforming students.
That program was meant to shut public schools down by making the standards to high for them to reach... unless they actually got good at teaching. The Teacher's Union made sure tests were dumbed down and gave out the answers instead. What makes it even worse is the Teacher's Unions AND the Department of Education didn't get abolished for failing to teach children, the government blamed Bush for trying to point out that the schools SUCK, and everything has only gotten worse.
Hey shady thanks for covering this as It hits way to close to home as I finished high school in britain a few months ago and while these tests aren't the same gcses are still the one size fits all system and unfortunetly I was born with dyscalcula which basically makes my brain incapable of calculating math equations properly and these exam results show up on job applications and since the math and science will say f due to my dyscalcula despite the fact that my base intelligence is actually quite good so it paints the wrong picture about me and its so fucking frustrating so thanks for covering this and sharing your opinion
Eda as a former principal and Pokémon shout outs? I suddenly want to watch this show. Side note: i miss the days where cartoons could directly verbally shout out each other without IP owners throwing around law suits all over the place. They make me think of the shows taking place in an alternate variant of our reality. Code Lyoko and W.I.T.C.H. being the biggest examples with Code Lyoko shouting out to Marvel Superheroes, and WITCH hiding Kermit the Frog and actual Pokémon Advanced Generation Anime Wallpaper in the background of the EU Opening of the show. There are also the DC Supersons comics where Damian Wayne meets Shazam! and talks about the Wii, PS3 and XBox 360...seriously, can someone pull up the legal rules involving those more direct shoutouts?!
I believe the biggest rule in sticking point.Is you're not actually allowed to show the brand logo of the company that you're referencing itself or the product.
Wendy Malik was in a bit role at the start of Brother Bear 2, her voice is very distinctive. She’s one of the main antagonists in the Bratz animated projects too.
In middle school I had trouble with tests, bullying and all. However since high school that I can consistently get As, even by studying 30 minutes only I've passed a math test and then another on the same day which is my weakest subject. School is just outdated and was never meant to teach, I learned everything on my own, two languages, computer repair, cellphone repair, frankly I do that which you've mentioned cram a lot in a short time only to take the test, which at the end of the day is the only thing that one can show.
I work With an ex-teacher. He said that standardized tests are only really good at measuring ones ability to take standardized tests. Basically, the knowledge base and skills required to take something like the FCAT or the SAT Is not transferable to actual competency within a subject, only one's ability to game multiple-choice tests.
I think the answer to the standardised test question is to not tie a child / school’s entire future to the outcome of the damned things. That’s too much pressure for a kid.
The thing you recognized on Ingrid’s desk I think is a Robby the robot Toy from the film Forbidden Planet which is considered the first major Sci-Fi film set entirely on another planet. He would appear in several films and tv shows as a guest star or cameo and is considered one of the greatest robots of all time!
Once I hit the point where I realized the stupid standardized tests were just so the schools could get more funding and didn't matter for anything as far as I was concerned I just started filling the tests in at random just to be done with them. I already hated school, there was no way I was putting in effort when it didn't matter to my grade.
In Indiana, back when I was a kid. If you didn't pass our test, called IStep, than you couldn't Graduate High School. Now, when I went they had a work around by taking Summer School in your Junior Year and you can, but now they took that path away, meaning it's even worse . So, f standardized tests. Love your video.
Shady you review really good episodes from really good shows, and you still manage to be just as, if not more entertaining than the content you are analyzing.
Something that I find, as someone that did very well in Math compared to his peers, is that I hated memorization. I refused to memorize anything at all, as long as you show how you achieved the result you get most of the points even if wrong in my country so it didn't matter. And eventually, Maths as a testing removed needing to memorize theorems entirely. You basically get a theorem book now to bring with you into tests and schoolwork. I got one too, but that was at the time just for learning the theorems, they didn't used to be able to bring them into classes. Anyway, memorization for maths suffer the same problem a lot of memorization based testing does, it proves not how well you've learned the subject but how well you've memorized it. I actually found that I was far better at Math when I made shit up. Like no joke, I, to the annoyance of the higher level math teacher, could create my own equations that were right all the time. I didn't work backward, as the answers were findable online I am young enough for that to be true, but instead my equations worked. And since I came up with my own method, I was able to understand the process of the standardised ones better. This did lead to the entire frontrow of my class being caught out for copying my homework as my equations were that distinctive to our teacher. Who I hate. She was a horrible teacher with a small mind.
Robbie is originally from the "Forbidden Planet". The designer of Robbie went on to design "The Robot" from "Lost in Space", which Robbie also appeared in I think only one epsiode since they were able to use the costume.
This show is SO GREAT! Im glad you watched it! Im rewatching it with my buddy! Theres also a TH-cam Channel that has all the episodes updated to 4K in fullscreen it looks great!
Shaddy "I feel like I've seen it before" Its a generic Robby the Robot From forbidden planet, although the red hand/claws are closer to the Robot from lost in space
Actually, the whole “against memorization” is something that’s recent. Memorizing information has been a time-tested method of teaching for years, especially when nobility had to do the same thing. In all honesty, it worked. However, I understand that these tests don’t apply one’s personal skills and talents, since academics don’t prove one’s worth. There were even some who’ve never even finished high school, and have started successful businesses despite that. If anything, taking all this into account, we should have tests for both of these things: memorization, AND analysis of one’s skills and talents. Edit: Also, it doesn’t matter what kind of law enforcement you’re in, there will always be times when something is overlooked.
Duuuuude, that Cam Jansen reference took me all the way back to the third grade! That and The Magic Treehouse books no doubt shaped who I am as a person. I'm not sure how exactly, but I know that they did.
I won't lie, the SAT 9 test (if they don't change the name for it) are a mix baggage when looking back. On the one hand it can be incredible if by some random chance you get high passing grades letting you enter advanced subjects, on the other hand it's very draining how much pressure both the school and kids (if you even bother telling them) on putting forth your smartness. I'm almost half convinced when I did those they were the same test even if they were years apart from the last time taken.
As someone that works in education, with a wife who is a teacher, a mother that is a teacher, an aunt that is a teacher, and a half dozen teacher friends, I can firmly say we need to abolish the department of education and bring it back to a state level. Our school systems are a joke internationally, we pay teachers less than McDonald's managers, and honestly our standards of education were higher before the peanut farmer screwed it all up.
If you want more Frankie Muniz's voice acting and with the spooky season coming up, there is Moville Mysteries which a fun cartoon! But loving the look back on Fillmore, love a good solid mystery show. There isn't many good ones for kids I find.
Something you have to remember when watching this show is all the characters are kids so something that would be obvious to an adult might not be so to a child. Though that doesn't excuse the dialogue.
I was supposed to say that in the last Filmore video, but I ended up forgetting. That episode wasn't the pilot, I remember when this show first aired here in Brazil, the first episode starts showing Filmore and his best friend in his last case together because his friend 's parents were moving so he transferred to another. Then comes Ingrid, and after that, she unintentionally starts to outshine a narcissistic little pr**k, who then starts framing her to get her expelled, then her and Filmore work together, clear her name, and the new dynamic duo for the show was born.
there needs to be a modern remake of fillmore, where he goes after kids vaping in the bathrooms, finding out who clogged all the toilets, who smashed up the bathrooms, who axed bombed the locker room, stopping a zyn ring, and the final episode, he takes down a school shooter
They should set it in high school then.As a sequel slash reboot. Besides, they have to find a new voice actor anyways, the original voice actor for Fillmore.Did some pretty bad things and kind of should no longer be associated with the series
the 3-act structure with named acts was from many cop/detective dramas back in the day. Parodied in Police Squad the show that led to the Naked Gun movies
This show was my absolute favorite when I was a kid. It still holds up to today and part of me wishes for a reboot but I know they wouldn't be able to recreate that magic again.
The thing on the desk is Robbie the Robot. A robot prop used in various movies and TV shows, and the bases for Fallouts protectron. It looks like the version from Columbo, cause it usually has legs not treads
While I do lean towards breaking systems, at least certain ones, if you do so without a plan innocent people, usually those already suffering, will get hurt Fun aside, when protesting it's important to target your protest in such a way that it only hurts those you want to. If your cause hurts the public, the public will turn on you. Even if you stand for something that would help them. Point is, you got to consider others when you start breaking things
Prime example would be the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Those refusing to take the bus knew they were public transportation biggest customers and uses that as leverage to hurt their bottom line without hurting anyone else.
I'm stoked to see this channel cover Fillmore. It is underrated, but the reason I wanted to see it here is how the show addresses issues, it seemed almost custom-made for this channel. Wouldn't be surprised if that was why _everyone_ wanted you to cover it.
A fellow Floridian?! Shady my dude!! Fcat Musta been after my time. I had to take the Hsct. And because I kept failing the math part I couldn't get my diploma for a whole year.
For pretty much my middle and high schooling, I was at a private school. When these kind of assessment test were given out, they were used to see if the students were learning the materials of the subject and if the teacher was actually doing their job in educating the class in a particular subject.
The eminent Eva langoria Probably one of the most prolific voice actresses.And actresses in general, that we know of to.Day and yet she is so often overlooked.Or forgotten, but everybody knows her voice.As soon as you hear that, you instantly think oh wait it's that Woman from all those other movies and tv shows.
I accidentally broke the curve during my standardized test and the state noticed my school had been failing the minimum scores and I caused the school to be restaffed. Whoops.
I was in a similar situation and brought my school's average up. Not because I'm all that smart but because they rotated the same tests. By the third time around I had memorized which questions I had gotten wrong in the past.
I am shocked and disappointed with the lack of lobster puns on Shadys part. Not one "in a pinch" joke? Shady, my man, you are slacking. Or maybe he is saving all of those for the episode where the school mascot gets kidnapped, who knows.
Idk, like they wouldnt want to find "the tests" theyd want the culprit/s to punish but the test being away for so long would invalidate them cause of tampering risks.
I still have nightmares about these tests even to adulthood. Not because I found them particularly hard (I was very much in Ingrid's shoes where I was the one bumping the test scores up with plenty of spare time to catch some z's during the exam) but because the teachers always singled me out for being one of those smart kids that would net the school their bonuses. I get they were trying to keep me motivated but it always came off as creepy when they suddenly got uncomfortably nice to only me as soon as test season hit. Got so bad that on MULTIPLE occasions I had struggling classmates cut me off on my walk home after school to try and beat me up over the treatment... and people wonder why I'm an anxious wreck as an adult.
It is really so cool to see you review Fillmore. I ended up binging the entire show in college because of how good it ended up being. My favorite off of the top of my head might be episode 5 "Red Robins Don't Fly" or episode 21 "The Unseen Reflection". Here's hoping you can eventually get to these and review them. Thank you again for your hard work and for sharing this.
the geodude pun hits harder when you realize *water* sporting equipment steamrolled the cheerleader stack
Doesn't help how inaccurate it is when Geodude naturally learns defense curl, not harden.
@@pichugirl6yeah but it does make a bit funnier that it's coming from the gym teacher so in a sense she could just really misinformed on how pokemon works
And the whole activity was done as a GYM activity.
That water roll deserved a medal or should i say BADGE.
*Cricket noises*
@@pichugirl6 Actually I looked it up. Geodude DID learn Harden at level 28 in the original Gen 1 pokemon games. For some reason (probably that it learns an identical move SO much earlier) this was eventually removed.
Sport gear used rollout!
You'll come to learn pretty fast that EVERY kid runs from the safety patrol. The fact that even if they get away they still have to go back to school the next day or worse, the school goes to their house never crosses their minds.
to be fair real criminals run when the cops will track them down in 12 hrs.
Pretty sure they do this on the show because the point of it is that it's supposed to be a parody of cop dramas and both in real life and in cop dramas, criminals will often run away from the law and if careful enough can get away without being caught.
I mean they're kids. Makes sense if the cops show up telling you to freeze you think you've been caught. Specially because every kid that runs is normally doing something they don't want to be caught doing.
Reminds me of the Gumball gag from that episode
@@LucasTF Which episode?
That little thing on Ingrid's desk is a sort of figure of Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet, a 1956 sci fi movie. Fallout's Protectrons are based on that design.
I thought it looked like a protectron, but it felt slightly off, so I didn't make the reference.
Fun Fact, a lot of those movies props and other assets where used in several Twilight Zone episodes.
Thanks for pointing it out. I only noticed the Jack Skellington coffee mug. She is a bit of a goth girl...
@@ShadyDoorags yeah, it's missing the goofy legs the original had, but the bubble head and the claws are more or less in the ballpark.
I thought it was from "Lost in Space"...but that prop has been used in many science fiction productions.
There is one thing every Filmore fan agrees on: even though he is just a kid and volunteer in something that at most he may be able to mention in his college application if he continues it in high school, Valejo deserves a raise
At the very least, he deserves a lot more recognition for putting up with Filmore, Ingrid, and, of course, the more incompetent clowns that inhabit the safety patrol offices.
@@comettamer well the only competent patrollers Vallejo's ever had are Sherrif Wayne Liggit, Fillmore, Third, Tehama, Anza and O'Farrell...when he isn't having a case of klutziness...I mean have you ever seen anyone on that show make a better photograph than Danny does?" He even made his evidence gathering Olsen-style sound intimidating once just by this recipe for film developement...Baking Soda, Coffee Grounds, Vinegar and most importantly this one liner. *"Show me to a room (lowers voice) a DARK room."*
Shady doing a Fillmore episode? Hell yea, and remember that the chicken was dry *REAL DRY*
Shady has done one other episode about Fillmore, and it was good (naturally).
@truefanforum3273 oh ok cool
That is the only quote I remember from this show
You mean, another review video, bro! Ha! I love it so much, man!
@@gamingloser5909 Based on the comments, you're not the only one. Personally, I latched on to "disco."
In high school I had terrible grades, didn't want to do the work, didn't pay attention in class. But when it came to the state tests I would always score high. So I think more than just these aptitude tests are a problem with our education system, I genuinely believe our education system is entirely set up to cater to one particular type of person
Your intuition is correct. It is/has to by its very nature.
The Texas TAKS test I took as a kid was always a laughingstock and considered a waste of time, until you realize it was a test of basic competency. If you failed you DESERVED to be looked at closer. They replaced it with a modified version of the California test, which is brutal and actively tries to trip up students with confusing wording and structure. That is what messes up the system. There's nothing wrong with a basic competency test
@@codybaker1150The tests that I took were the California tests funnily enough. Guess that explains why I had to re-read questions a couple of times
Yes, i mean tests should at least go for different angles and learning types, not filter onew exact person. Which i guess one test might, why some dfifferent aproaches and chance to have like work do most would probably the most important.
And not bloody decide that budget for a school,
I always hated timed tests. I never completed them in time. I still did good on standardized tests but not as good as I would have if I could've finished them.
Things like this episode are great examples for why the concept of Chesterton's fence is needed.
For any intellectuals who don't know or need a refresher, Chesterton's Fence is the rule of thought perscribing that before something is to be changed or destroyed, you must first understand why it was made to begin with.
I know that this episode delt more in the micro-context of a macro-system (students v. Government testing) but it was nice to hear Shady actually address the conflict and system as a whole.
Ignorance of this idea is exactly why discourse around *everything* has degraded so much over the past decade and a half.
Standardized tests were originally created to solve a problem: schools in America had wildly different curriculums, and there was no way to know what any random student would most likely know. This made it very difficult for colleges and employers to know what skills they could expect new students or employees to know.
Oh, this theme is a classic in fantasy books.
"Hey, we are building a road but a stupid old shrine is in the way, that nobody cares about anyway. Let's destroy the shrine. Oh shit, there was a evil god sealed in the shrine."
And in real live as well I've read of far too many cases where something new was built over something old or some new law was created which invalidated some old. And each and every time it only had bad consequences.
One of the biggest problems with the Standardized Test model is that school funding relies on students doing well, when in reality, schools that do poorly could use that money more. It encourages school to, instead of teaching useful information, such as how to file taxes, how to balance a checkbook, budgeting, and even a few types of chores, they have to cram the information that's *on* the tests, which outside of certain situations, is mostly useless.
Schools rarely get to decide what they teach, that stuff is sorted by the curriculum. Also, the tests cannot reward schools that do poorly, that would create a race to the bottom scenario. The tests could be neutral on funding and allocate funding based on a per capita basis or something like that, but then schools would have essentially no incentive to improve how they do things.
But part of the issue being seen now is the schools that just keep getting funding without actually keeping the teachers to a certain expectation of results. The number of kids coming through with diplomas who are barely able to read, right, or do basic math is higher than ever. Instead of getting good teachers that care if the kids actually improve they keep paying a fleet of teachers who simply pass the failing kids to the next grade because they either gave up or don’t care. Look it up, I wish I was making this up. Kids that are supposed to be ready for entry classes in college are instead barely on a 7th grade education level if they’re lucky. Part of it is the students believing that learning is pointless and a waste of time, but part of it is the teachers themselves believing the same, or more accurately that teaching these kids is a waste of time. Standardized tests have helped make this mess but potentially can be modified to fix it, IF the schools and school boards are given real incentives and financial ability to hire teachers who give a damn and IF teachers unions work to ensure that their members don’t simply do just barely enough to qualify for a paycheck.
@@Aku9466 where did you get that
I actually had a class on budgeting and managing finances as part of my math class in my junior or senior year in high school. But I dont think it was a school mandate, we just had a really cool math teacher.
Makes me even more glad to be Homeschooled!!!! :D
Bro you failed to mention this aired right after No Child Left Behind was passed.
No child left in front.
We will fund more failing
No childs left behind
God, No Care Left for Blacks. Federally-sponsored funding rejections for "poor test scores", allowing them to pull funding, which lowers test scores, which lowers funding, ad infinium...
I got out just after they replaced it, and I don't miss that learning environment for 1 second. Some of my teachers, maybe, but not at all what they were forced to teach.
@@kingawsumeWhat do blacks have anything to do with this
Along with “The Love Bug”, I just hope Disney never remembers this existed. I’m lucky in that regard, my favorite stuff of theirs is too obscure for modern Disney to bother messing with.
What a day when you have to pray that your favorite franchise or series remains obscure so it doesn't get ruined.

You do realize the ducktales reboot is one of the best made shows in modern Disney, right?
The remake would never be even close as good as the original. It subtly made kids realize, especially minorities, that their race didn’t matter.
@@Savagewolver While true, that doesn’t mean any other Disney cartoon will get that lucky. The DuckTales reboot may have been a lightning in a bottle, or simply was lucky enough to have the right people involved. Unless given to a production team that loves the original content, a reboot/remake will always be a risk that tends to fail. I don’t blame others for being cautious.
Doorag, as someone who has watched EVERY episode of this show a ridiculous number of times; being surprised at a restaurant exclusively selling eggrolls is nothing! You should do a list of all of the ridiculous clubs/organizations at X Middle School! They have a club for darn near everything making you question how big is this dang school?!
Honestly it's not just Fillmore, i remember a lot of Disney toons at the time have a lot of weird Restaurants and stores based on silly gimicks. Especially the Weekenders where they had that pizza shop with a new gimmick every episode.
@@Tomeroche ok now THAT was hilarious! You never knew what kind of theme they'd have but it makes you wonder how in the world could that pizza joint afford the constant remodeling?!
They're an elevator school into Honouchi Academy.
As big as it needs to be.
@@Tomeroche True, but the thing is most of those shows took place in a wider setting (a city or even a town for example) that could feasibly be expected to support whatever random businesses would pop up here and there
I've been waiting for you to do more Fillmore!
This show is seriously under so many radars, it deserves better!
Seriously, why isn't this one on Disney+? Where's its reboot? It's not as if police procedurals have gone away, there's plenty to mine from for story ideas.
When it comes to having standardized tests as an adult, I've learned the hard way that what you know doesnt really matter compared to who you know, so maybe schools focusing more on trades or required volunteering whoud do a lot more for the kids future then schools just drilling into students heads how to fill out paper circles
Honestly any show that would pay attention to those details and allows the audience to figure it out without treating them as dumb is really good. So far both episodes had those moments where you can notice something on the rewatch that was found out later on.
The Egg Rollery reminds of one of my favorites stories I like to say about my mom. First and foremost , my mother is a born and bread Korean, that met with a US army guy, and I came along less than a year later.
Some years ago, my mother was expirementing with different food ideas to feed my dad and myslef healthier things. She fell on burritos, but everyone she made looks like wrap. I told how to roll up a proper burrito thanks to my time working at a Taco Bell. Before I can finish explaining the process, she connected it to rolling up an eggroll. When I thought about it, they were the same things just on different scales. The next day, she handed me a burrito rolled up tighter than any burrito I've seen.
They missed the torn shorts because of how high it was. Humans usually have a look limit of about 45⁰ upward. Anything higher can typically be in a blind spot. It's why the best hiding spot for when you're playing hide and seek is somewhere up high.
Most Humans only bother to look superficially for most things within their eye level sight.So hiding underneath something or behind something, very large and heavy will often be more than enough.If you can't get somewhere very high up. I believe the 45° upward angle thing was also used and mentioned in oddly enough.Of ninja turtles cartoon.Where they explain how they're so easily able to hide from human sight.They just go out of the normal human looking range
Yeah, but they were told that the culprit escaped through the window so they should have looked at it for clues
I was more on the fact that the ones collecting evidence were all kids
I live in Florida, so as soon as you mentioned the "FCAT" it triggered my PTSD 😂.
"Delinquent Pass?" Ingrid said "Delinquent Past", and it was a Library Card she used.
I don't always pronounce my T's properly.
@@ShadyDoorags It sounded like you were referring to her library card as a 'delinquent pass'. ^^;
What if Delinquent Passes were real. Imagine if schools handed out licenses to break the rules sometimes. That would be crazy.
@@connoromalley4004 Honestly that sounds like something a school would set up as a reward system to try and encourage kids to do well on tests, or have good behaver. A pass that they can cash in to break a rule from a set list (Can't let it be total freedom) one time. Like oh you diched class here's your pass saying you can this time
@@ShadyDoorags droppin' consonants like a bad habit
I remember this show from when I was a kid and enjoyed the child versions of “big crimes” (smuggling baseball cards, stealing test scores, the Hannibal Lecter tribute), the Junior Commissioner having a “coco problem” … good times 😎😎😎
Thanks for the great new video Shady and *please* go hug your furbabies all 💙🐱💙
(As I type this one of my kitties Cynder is waiting for a vet visit, please spare any prayers for him?)
The thing that gets me is the baseball counterfeiting scheme was a LIGIT crime. Like the FBI investigates that one level of crime! Always bugged me that the show never got a third season to revisit some of these guys
Personally, i think the COMPREHENSION is more important then memorisation.
But there is no denying that memorisation is a valuable ability too.
Key is balance.
Something interesting is Fillmore has way more of a delinquent past than Ingrid, so if anything, he should be the one who knows how to break into locked rooms.
And one last thing baby, that chicken was dry….REAL DRY!
The principal taking off her glasses, putting them on, and then taking them off again is a joke/gag. Taking them off is for dramatic effect, a trope in cop dramas, so the gag is that she previously took them off so she had to put them back on so she could do the trope. lol

Fillmore came out when I was in grade 11 and even though I wasn't the target audience, I was always a Disney Afternoon kid growing up, and Fillmore was a fun show to just plop down in front of the couch with a bag of chips or a pizza pop after school and just destress for a moment. Always thought it was well written back then and it's great to see others enjoy it.
Uggg standardized test were NOT MEANT TO TEST STUDENTS! They were invented because people only wanted to hire graduates from the rich schools because they supposedly had a better quality of education. So the standardized test were supposed to either prove that all graduates had the same quality of education or to fret out which schools needed to have government funding funneled to them and which schools had enough rich backers not to need additional government support. It was a stop gap measure that was supposed to prevent classist prejudice in a small area. It wasn’t meant to be the one end all be all test of a person’s worth.
And funny enough, it only made the problem of prejudice worse. Thanks to programs like "race to the top" and "no child left behind", Under performing schools get their funding slashed, While schools that perform to expectation get their funding increased. This creates a feedback loop where the poor schools get poor and the rich schools get richer.
@@BlitzkriegOmega Exactly! The guy who came up with standardized test knew it was a flawed idea and it was just supposed to be a stop gap measure until they could come up with a better solution. Plus studies have shown that funding alone doesn’t actually make that much of a difference in terms of student grades. The two big reasons being that the quality of teachers remains the same before and after any funding increases and the reason that the “rich” school graduates were doing better in the work force was less because of the quality of the students and more because of the social connections that having rich parents provided them. Having a “quality education” was just the excuse that people came up with to justify their bias so in the end equalizing the quality of education across the board was never going to fix the real problem anyway.
This and Red Robins Don't Fly were my favorites as a kid.
Almost all the background characters come up in episodes, I love it.
I always strugled with menorizing subjects for tests, and over time I would strugle more whenever I got a song or scene from a movie stuck in my head. I used that to my advantage and converted the topics I was studying into the lyrics of the songs in my head. Worked like a charm.
Music is a well known psychological strategy for memorization and one I absolutely support. School House Rock helps with so many basic lessons.
@@ShadyDoorags Maybe for some people. But I feel like when I was in school, that didn't work on me because I was more focused on the actual song or rhyme rather than the information it was meant to instill. My teachers would always use Schoolhouse Rock in lessons, but it would always fly over my head, maybe partly because it was so overplayed that I just found it obnoxious.
@@ShadyDoorags I agree, it may not be for everyone, but I can remember music and stuff to music so well! I love School House Rock!!
Fun fact: In most games, Geodude can't learn Harden because it can learn Defence Curl at an earlier level, Defence Curl can be used more than Harden and Defence Curl has the additional effect of boosting moves like Rollout, making Harden redundant. Geodude can only learn Harden in Gen 1 (Red/Blue/Yellow), Gen 2 (Gold, Silver, Crystal) and oddly, part of Gen 8 (Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl). Don't know why since those last two are remakes and it couldn't learn Harden there. This ep came out in September 2002, two months before the Japanese release of Gen 3 (Ruby and Sapphire) and eight months before its US release, so her reference was outdated in less than a year.
My read on it when I watched as a kid was the teacher was being "how do you do fellow kids" not the show.
I remember the Geodude joke verbatim from when I watched this as a child because it was so random and so specific for an American cartoon to explicitly reference an IP like that.
Hey! On the boxer shorts thing. Humans don't typically look up higher than a 75 degree angle unless they are directly informed something is above them. Similar for down. Though we're a little more observant of what's at our feet. That said, they heard the suspect climbed through the window, and thus should have checked there.
Really I check the ceiling and up high me constantly as it's a habit after the hornets nest incident so I never realized it wasn't common for people not to check up
@@kingthe13 That's fair. Sorry you had that incident with the hornet's nest. It's like this golden angle thing. Wee CAN see further up or down, we just don't think to.
Standardized testing wouldn't be so bad if the subjects being tested were actually useful. A lot schools (at least here in Texas) will speedrun through everything that's gonna appear on the tests, while everything else is left on the back burner. The only things I learned were from the reading comprehension sections, where I found out that bees becoming extinct wouldn't necessarily cause the end of the world, and that Dagwood Bumstead was born rich but disinherited when he married Blondie.
and Blondie was the star of the comic with an active dating life before some kind of moral panic hit and the writer was forced to marry her off to the current boyfriend and change direction to a domestic sitcom vibe.
How is that considered useful information?
@@MASTEROFEVIL I never said that they were useful, just that I learned them and retained said information.
I clicked so fast from your Mr freeze video,I’ll go back and finish that but this hit me in my childhood. Shady PLEASE PLEASE CONSIDER DOING A THE BIG O REVIEW . It was so many of our first anime’s showing on Cartoon Network,it was legitimately Bruce Wayne with mechs.
I’m glad you’re reviewing another episode. This show is the definition of being underrated back then and nowadays.
As someone with ADHD, I was considerd severly behind academically in middle school, and now im top of my class in high school. the SATs are not accurate, if they were, i would be considered very stupid.
Edit:Wow, thanks for the positivity
Same i nearly flunked out twice due to my ADHD and the fact that most normal meds didn’t work only risperdone helped. My automotive trade teacher helped me with practical applications. I hate the us school system.
@@zanenevada7327 Im lucky enough that my meds work, but yeah, sounds like you went through hell
Don't sell yourself short just cause of an issue you've got no control over.
@@00220022inferno i know i know. My parents and siblings say the same thing but, the feeling runs deeper. That paralyzation while your mind is screaming for you to work. And you feel anxiety and anger your constant frustrated. The fact you can’t even focus on something that needs to be focused on a moment without medication or exteam control. It gets at least for me and those i know easier as you get older but it feels like dirty grease is being used on my brain gears.
I honestly love this ep, it shows just how much Filmore as a series and as a character treats people
I feel like the 'how do you do fellow kids' thing works for teacher characters
Agreed. They're trying their best to relate to the kids so they can gain a modicum of respect
As someone that got held back on the F Cat TWICE, I agree 100% with you. Their are SOME subjects that are certainly better suited to Demonstration then Academic book learning.
They were basically mocking the "no child left behind" policy that created the overwhelming need for schools to do well on mandated aptitude tests which also incentivized schools to rely on "social promotion" in order to deal with underperforming students.
That program was meant to shut public schools down by making the standards to high for them to reach... unless they actually got good at teaching. The Teacher's Union made sure tests were dumbed down and gave out the answers instead.
What makes it even worse is the Teacher's Unions AND the Department of Education didn't get abolished for failing to teach children, the government blamed Bush for trying to point out that the schools SUCK, and everything has only gotten worse.
YES! More Fillmore!
YES YES YES!
The lesson this episode teaches is one that has been sorely needed this past decade
Never knew that about the 'Disco' catchphrase! Very cool trivia!
Hey shady thanks for covering this as It hits way to close to home as I finished high school in britain a few months ago and while these tests aren't the same gcses are still the one size fits all system and unfortunetly I was born with dyscalcula which basically makes my brain incapable of calculating math equations properly and these exam results show up on job applications and since the math and science will say f due to my dyscalcula despite the fact that my base intelligence is actually quite good so it paints the wrong picture about me and its so fucking frustrating so thanks for covering this and sharing your opinion
Eda as a former principal and Pokémon shout outs? I suddenly want to watch this show. Side note: i miss the days where cartoons could directly verbally shout out each other without IP owners throwing around law suits all over the place. They make me think of the shows taking place in an alternate variant of our reality. Code Lyoko and W.I.T.C.H. being the biggest examples with Code Lyoko shouting out to Marvel Superheroes, and WITCH hiding Kermit the Frog and actual Pokémon Advanced Generation Anime Wallpaper in the background of the EU Opening of the show. There are also the DC Supersons comics where Damian Wayne meets Shazam! and talks about the Wii, PS3 and XBox 360...seriously, can someone pull up the legal rules involving those more direct shoutouts?!
I believe the biggest rule in sticking point.Is you're not actually allowed to show the brand logo of the company that you're referencing itself or the product.
Wendy Malik was in a bit role at the start of Brother Bear 2, her voice is very distinctive. She’s one of the main antagonists in the Bratz animated projects too.
That "Cam Jensen" line smacked me in the face with a TON of nostalgia.
I knew I wasn't crazy!!! I remember those books! Shed say "click" like a camera shutter each time she found a clue!
Man I still do that click when studying for something and I’m grown
In middle school I had trouble with tests, bullying and all.
However since high school that I can consistently get As, even by studying 30 minutes only I've passed a math test and then another on the same day which is my weakest subject.
School is just outdated and was never meant to teach, I learned everything on my own, two languages, computer repair, cellphone repair, frankly I do that which you've mentioned cram a lot in a short time only to take the test, which at the end of the day is the only thing that one can show.
I work With an ex-teacher. He said that standardized tests are only really good at measuring ones ability to take standardized tests.
Basically, the knowledge base and skills required to take something like the FCAT or the SAT Is not transferable to actual competency within a subject, only one's ability to game multiple-choice tests.
Thank you for more Filmore! I love the writing in this series like the forgery episode.
retaining information long enough to pass a test was actually Otto Von Bismarke's signature skill lol
I think the answer to the standardised test question is to not tie a child / school’s entire future to the outcome of the damned things.
That’s too much pressure for a kid.
The thing you recognized on Ingrid’s desk I think is a Robby the robot Toy from the film Forbidden Planet which is considered the first major Sci-Fi film set entirely on another planet. He would appear in several films and tv shows as a guest star or cameo and is considered one of the greatest robots of all time!
The first video on Fillmore inspired me to watch the show and I really enjoyed it and I wish had more episodes
Once I hit the point where I realized the stupid standardized tests were just so the schools could get more funding and didn't matter for anything as far as I was concerned I just started filling the tests in at random just to be done with them. I already hated school, there was no way I was putting in effort when it didn't matter to my grade.
In Indiana, back when I was a kid. If you didn't pass our test, called IStep, than you couldn't Graduate High School. Now, when I went they had a work around by taking Summer School in your Junior Year and you can, but now they took that path away, meaning it's even worse . So, f standardized tests.
Love your video.
ISTEP got shut down finally when I was in highschool, but if I remember right they replaced it with something else
@@azazelreeds Thanks for the news.
Shady you review really good episodes from really good shows, and you still manage to be just as, if not more entertaining than the content you are analyzing.
I remember how much I loved this series. Looking back at it and hearing your thoughts is awesome. I can't wait for more.
After your initial review i watched the entire show and i enjoyed almost every episode expecially a cold day at x
Something that I find, as someone that did very well in Math compared to his peers, is that I hated memorization.
I refused to memorize anything at all, as long as you show how you achieved the result you get most of the points even if wrong in my country so it didn't matter. And eventually, Maths as a testing removed needing to memorize theorems entirely. You basically get a theorem book now to bring with you into tests and schoolwork.
I got one too, but that was at the time just for learning the theorems, they didn't used to be able to bring them into classes.
Anyway, memorization for maths suffer the same problem a lot of memorization based testing does, it proves not how well you've learned the subject but how well you've memorized it. I actually found that I was far better at Math when I made shit up.
Like no joke, I, to the annoyance of the higher level math teacher, could create my own equations that were right all the time. I didn't work backward, as the answers were findable online I am young enough for that to be true, but instead my equations worked.
And since I came up with my own method, I was able to understand the process of the standardised ones better.
This did lead to the entire frontrow of my class being caught out for copying my homework as my equations were that distinctive to our teacher. Who I hate. She was a horrible teacher with a small mind.
3:43 That looks like a figure of Robot from “Lost in Space” but like the details you mentioned which I totally missed
Robbie is originally from the "Forbidden Planet". The designer of Robbie went on to design "The Robot" from "Lost in Space", which Robbie also appeared in I think only one epsiode since they were able to use the costume.
Right, that's what I thought. Or possibly an MST3K thing
This show is SO GREAT! Im glad you watched it! Im rewatching it with my buddy! Theres also a TH-cam Channel that has all the episodes updated to 4K in fullscreen it looks great!
I love the Cam Jensen reference. I hope for more Fillmore reviews in the future.
Maaaan this show was so good my mom put me on as kid 💯 Orlando had/can still have potential, stay strong g 🙏🙏
Shaddy "I feel like I've seen it before"
Its a generic Robby the Robot From forbidden planet, although the red hand/claws are closer to the Robot from lost in space
You could rant about garden tools for an hour and I'd listen to the entire thing, and probably love it.
Actually, the whole “against memorization” is something that’s recent. Memorizing information has been a time-tested method of teaching for years, especially when nobility had to do the same thing. In all honesty, it worked. However, I understand that these tests don’t apply one’s personal skills and talents, since academics don’t prove one’s worth. There were even some who’ve never even finished high school, and have started successful businesses despite that. If anything, taking all this into account, we should have tests for both of these things: memorization, AND analysis of one’s skills and talents.
Edit: Also, it doesn’t matter what kind of law enforcement you’re in, there will always be times when something is overlooked.
Yess. Thank you for more Fillmore
Duuuuude, that Cam Jansen reference took me all the way back to the third grade! That and The Magic Treehouse books no doubt shaped who I am as a person. I'm not sure how exactly, but I know that they did.
I love both those books. I read them since first to second grade, this was back when reading was so fun 😊😢
I loved Cam Jansen and Magic Tree house books as a kid
@@kierahenley2335 yeah, I really loved them.
My issue with aptitude tests is then being a system to determine which schools need money the least, and then giving them more money.
I won't lie, the SAT 9 test (if they don't change the name for it) are a mix baggage when looking back. On the one hand it can be incredible if by some random chance you get high passing grades letting you enter advanced subjects, on the other hand it's very draining how much pressure both the school and kids (if you even bother telling them) on putting forth your smartness. I'm almost half convinced when I did those they were the same test even if they were years apart from the last time taken.
As someone that works in education, with a wife who is a teacher, a mother that is a teacher, an aunt that is a teacher, and a half dozen teacher friends, I can firmly say we need to abolish the department of education and bring it back to a state level. Our school systems are a joke internationally, we pay teachers less than McDonald's managers, and honestly our standards of education were higher before the peanut farmer screwed it all up.
If you want more Frankie Muniz's voice acting and with the spooky season coming up, there is Moville Mysteries which a fun cartoon! But loving the look back on Fillmore, love a good solid mystery show. There isn't many good ones for kids I find.
Thanks for the context I was home schooled, my sister and I were home schooled so we never had to take them.
Always makes my day when I see you posted a new video. Thanks Shady!!
Something you have to remember when watching this show is all the characters are kids so something that would be obvious to an adult might not be so to a child. Though that doesn't excuse the dialogue.
I came as soon as I heard!!!
And once I was cleaned up, I watched the video! 😅
I failed in one of those critical years and am a doctor now. Also Filmore literally convinced me to join safety patrol.
Aw, I can't believe you didn't mention the phone call Vallejo got regarding the costume and floor waxer getting destroyed and costing them money.
I was supposed to say that in the last Filmore video, but I ended up forgetting. That episode wasn't the pilot, I remember when this show first aired here in Brazil, the first episode starts showing Filmore and his best friend in his last case together because his friend 's parents were moving so he transferred to another. Then comes Ingrid, and after that, she unintentionally starts to outshine a narcissistic little pr**k, who then starts framing her to get her expelled, then her and Filmore work together, clear her name, and the new dynamic duo for the show was born.
I don't think that's technically the pilot. While the events are canonically earlier, I think it's deliberately meant to be a flashback episode.
there needs to be a modern remake of fillmore, where he goes after kids vaping in the bathrooms, finding out who clogged all the toilets, who smashed up the bathrooms, who axed bombed the locker room, stopping a zyn ring, and the final episode, he takes down a school shooter
They should set it in high school then.As a sequel slash reboot. Besides, they have to find a new voice actor anyways, the original voice actor for Fillmore.Did some pretty bad things and kind of should no longer be associated with the series
the 3-act structure with named acts was from many cop/detective dramas back in the day. Parodied in Police Squad the show that led to the Naked Gun movies
Lmao as I was watching my connection halted and I thought you were making a point about how clunky the dialogue was.
the smile on my face just now after opening youtube and being recommended a new Filmore shady video
If you do another Fillmore, do "A Cold Day at X". One of my personal favourites
Love this show growing up! Please more!
The same person who voiced principle FoleSome ALSO VOICES EDA HUH
That would be the amazing and incredibly talented eva longoria
And bojack horseman mom, as well.
This show was my absolute favorite when I was a kid. It still holds up to today and part of me wishes for a reboot but I know they wouldn't be able to recreate that magic again.
To be fair, the kid is wearing a long towel to cover his bits, so in his mind it’s probably not that much different than being shirtless at a pool.
The thing on the desk is Robbie the Robot. A robot prop used in various movies and TV shows, and the bases for Fallouts protectron. It looks like the version from Columbo, cause it usually has legs not treads
While I do lean towards breaking systems, at least certain ones, if you do so without a plan innocent people, usually those already suffering, will get hurt
Fun aside, when protesting it's important to target your protest in such a way that it only hurts those you want to. If your cause hurts the public, the public will turn on you. Even if you stand for something that would help them.
Point is, you got to consider others when you start breaking things
Prime example would be the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Those refusing to take the bus knew they were public transportation biggest customers and uses that as leverage to hurt their bottom line without hurting anyone else.
I'm stoked to see this channel cover Fillmore. It is underrated, but the reason I wanted to see it here is how the show addresses issues, it seemed almost custom-made for this channel. Wouldn't be surprised if that was why _everyone_ wanted you to cover it.
A fellow Floridian?! Shady my dude!! Fcat Musta been after my time. I had to take the Hsct. And because I kept failing the math part I couldn't get my diploma for a whole year.
For pretty much my middle and high schooling, I was at a private school. When these kind of assessment test were given out, they were used to see if the students were learning the materials of the subject and if the teacher was actually doing their job in educating the class in a particular subject.
I think the principal’s voice actress is the same as Pacha’s wife from the emperor’s new groove
The eminent Eva langoria Probably one of the most prolific voice actresses.And actresses in general, that we know of to.Day and yet she is so often overlooked.Or forgotten, but everybody knows her voice.As soon as you hear that, you instantly think oh wait it's that Woman from all those other movies and tv shows.
He pointed that out in his last Fillmore video
@@christianjohnson5379 Yeah I watched it after this one.
You are a gift that keeps on giving. Loved this take👏
I accidentally broke the curve during my standardized test and the state noticed my school had been failing the minimum scores and I caused the school to be restaffed. Whoops.
I was in a similar situation and brought my school's average up. Not because I'm all that smart but because they rotated the same tests. By the third time around I had memorized which questions I had gotten wrong in the past.
I am shocked and disappointed with the lack of lobster puns on Shadys part. Not one "in a pinch" joke? Shady, my man, you are slacking.
Or maybe he is saving all of those for the episode where the school mascot gets kidnapped, who knows.
I'm glad to see you are enjoying this series and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on some of the later banger episodes.
Idk, like they wouldnt want to find "the tests" theyd want the culprit/s to punish but the test being away for so long would invalidate them cause of tampering risks.
I still have nightmares about these tests even to adulthood. Not because I found them particularly hard (I was very much in Ingrid's shoes where I was the one bumping the test scores up with plenty of spare time to catch some z's during the exam) but because the teachers always singled me out for being one of those smart kids that would net the school their bonuses. I get they were trying to keep me motivated but it always came off as creepy when they suddenly got uncomfortably nice to only me as soon as test season hit. Got so bad that on MULTIPLE occasions I had struggling classmates cut me off on my walk home after school to try and beat me up over the treatment... and people wonder why I'm an anxious wreck as an adult.
It is really so cool to see you review Fillmore. I ended up binging the entire show in college because of how good it ended up being. My favorite off of the top of my head might be episode 5 "Red Robins Don't Fly" or episode 21 "The Unseen Reflection". Here's hoping you can eventually get to these and review them. Thank you again for your hard work and for sharing this.
