Crashbox (1999–2000) User Reviews

Crashbox is a great show for all ages and to learn

I have seen this show Crashbox and it is a great show to learn. Michal Mcshane did a great voice for the Revolting Slob. Eddie Miclurg did a great polite female in the game of the Revolting Slob. This game is to learn new words. Crashbox is a funny, interactive series that challenges grade-school kids with hip, fast-paced games about history, math, spelling, grammar, culture and vocabulary. Each edition is comprised of seven to eight educational games (two to five minutes each) drawn from a bank of 14 game types, from "Haunted House Party" to "Captain Bones" to "Dirty Pictures" to "Radio Scramble." With up to ten or more different versions of a single game available, Crashbox is a truly modular series in which different versions of different games can be rotated from edition to edition.

Excellent Children's Program

[danikacm · 10/10 · 5 March 2012]

What I love about this show is that is moves quickly from one topic to another, packing it all in. I think this program must be a great tool for helping ADHD kids practice controlling their focus, especially through the program "Distraction News." It's got all the elements that are fun and engaging for kids (of all ages). The voices are excellent. Interspersed with all the facts are great logic puzzles and quick math problems. These challenges are great for helping children develop association pathways in the brain, which help them retrieve facts & figures faster. An ability that students rely on to score high on timed standardized tests. Each segment of this show offers a great tool to improve a student's academic success, I highly recommend it, especially for elementary and middle school age students.

GREW UP WITH THIS SHOW!!

I love this show. Im 21 now but I remember when I was 9 I watched this show one morning while waiting for my dad to take me to school and I loved it so much after that day , I would watch up extra early every morning just to watch this before school. The animation of the show and the different activities that it provides is very entertaining!

Wild show!

This is a really wild show. My nine-year-old daughter loves it. It's kind of a cross between "Pee Wee's Playhouse" and "Sesame Street," except that it leans more towards third to, I'd say, seventh graders. One half-hour show contains a few little episodes, each one with unique ways of teaching a child new words, spelling, history facts, etc.; each one is done in a combination of animation (stop-action, not cartoon-style), live action, and puppetry. The ideas are very clever, and each one is a novelty in expressing ways of teaching children without resorting to a "teachy" style. It's very hard to explain this show, two of my daughter's favorite skits are "The Revolting Slob" and "Mugshots," to give you an idea. The busy-ness of the skits tend to wear thin for an adult after awhile, I find the teaching methods very, very good but the over-abundance of "things" going on on screen to be kind of distracting after a short time.

I would recommend this show to any parent who wants their child to learn something from a show that doesn't talk down to kids. The innovation is very refreshing.

Nostalgia

[lynnkira-24761 · 7/10 · 28 November 2023]

I was very young when i saw this show. Reruns played on the tv alot but I don't remember much from it since i was like really really young. But i remember that alien brain looking host and the news lady if thats who she was. I put it on my list on max so i can watch it again and this time understand better. The art and animation is quite odd but thats what makes it so memorable is that it doesn't look like an average learning show! It was strange but also fun. Memories were made watching that show with my dad when my mom would be out food shopping. I never seem to forget the show besides the name which i do get annoyed with.
