We had every single Timmy the Tooth tape. Yep, I kid you not. When we went to the dentist, our mom would actually bribe us with a brand new Timmy VHS if we behaved well for the good doctor. Sheesh, were we dumb kids or what?! Like I said before, this show is barely there in my mind now, so it's probably not my duty to critique it. It definitely was not as bizarre as Barney or the drugged-up Telletubbies, but it had some oddities. Like the premise. A talking tooth and his pet toothbrush go and find the Cavity Goon. Wow. Still, it reminded me of a sequence in the Rugrats where Tommy watches a video that's almost exactly like this show. There's the talking molar, eeeevil candy, and some really preachy lessons about dental care. There were a BUNCH of these things too. All of the videos standing next to each other probably took up all of the space in our entertainment cabinet. Needless to say, we grew out of them and sold them all at a garage sale. Sheesh, those dumb kids don't have any idea what's in store for them. Then again, my posse was also raised by Barney. Why couldn't we have had Sesame Street or He-Man and the Masters of the Universe? You baby boomers got all the cool stuff.

A vibrant flashback into the 90's

Warning: Spoilers
The quality in this enthralling and amusing show goes way underrated. This series, although short lived, has value that modern television shows for children today lack. Not only is it eye catching with it's textured and colourful puppetry and mise-en-scene, but it carries many themes that are unique to a child's perspective. An example of this being introduced to themes underlying existentialism, involving picturing a reality without yourself existing in it (E.2). These subject matters can really connect strong themes to the mind, even through a G-rated lens of portraying how important friends are and having a birthday party. The uniqueness of this show is a milestone for introducing creativity, colour, and thought provoking themes to the young viewer.
Like other T.V. shows for kids today...

It sucks!!! OK what we have here is a walking, talking tooth named Timmy who goes on these little adventures with a toothbrush for a dog named "BrushBrush (that's weak), and all of his lame friends. There's even a villain named the Cavity Goon who of course eats too much sweets! In my most positive point of view, this show has morals but you might not notice since the whole premise is dumb. It's just another dumb show for kids that so much people love to hate!
Overall, this show sucks!!
