Anybody got any thoughts? I'm planning a watch of the entire series and a deep dive into the offshoots.

EDIT: This one is not the original producer's page, but it's laid out a lot more easy to follow. Moves from 1 through to the end.

I sat through a number of episodes from the first series with my son (? Not sure, there seems to be other series now). Each episode is only a few minutes at best, usually just long enough for a single battle. It kind of reminds me of old Saturday morning cartoons like GI Joe, in that there ends up being a sort of arms race/one-upsmanship that goes on throughout the series.

The basic story is that there are these alien (?) Skibidis (the toilet-head things) that are apparently invading Earth. Earth’s only defense seems to be the appliance-people, the most numerous are the Camera-men, but there’s also Speaker-men, TV-men, and others. They’re locked in some sort of massive war with each other, though we never get a sense of how the overall war is going. The skibidis play the skibidi song (not sure the source, but it’s from somewhere), while the appliance-people play Tears for Fears “Everybody wants to rule the world”.

Episodes usually revolve around some new technology/weapon/combat unit getting revealed by one side or the other and it either overpowering or getting overpowered by something from the other side.

well, A+ for getting kids into Tears for Fears. - Gen Xer

edit: thank you for your front-line reporting 🤣
