Our Review
ReBoot (1994) is a action and adventure series from YTV. Episodes run about 30 minutes. It premiered on September 10, 1994. Viewers rate it 7.9 out of 10. It is currently ended. It runs 4 seasons.
What ReBoot Is About
In the inner computer world of Mainframe, a guardian program sprite and his friends defend the system from threats from viruses and the User.
What to Expect When You Watch
Episodes run about 30 minutes, which keeps the pace tight, spread across 4 seasons and it leans into its action/adventure roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Michael Benyaer, Shirley Millner and Tony Jay to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Michael Benyaer, Shirley Millner, Tony Jay, Kathleen Barr, Scott McNeil and Paul Dobson lead the cast.
Key roles include Michael Benyaer as Bob; Shirley Millner as Hexadecimal; Tony Jay as Megabyte; Kathleen Barr as Dot Matrix; Scott McNeil as Hack #2.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of action, adventure and science-fiction have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside YTV’s other originals, a 7.9/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 1994 and carried by YTV with the series still ended, it lands hardest with action and adventure viewers.
How ReBoot Compares
If ReBoot lands for you, the next stops are Avatar: The Last Airbender, Attack on Titan and Star Trek: The Next Generation, which share its action/adventure lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.
Where to Stream
ReBoot comes from YTV. Check your preferred platform for current availability, since regional rights move around.

On the whole ReBoot is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Michael Benyaer and Shirley Millner doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its action/adventure roots, It has held up since 1994 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
ReBoot is a safe bet for anyone already inside the action and adventure lane, the audience score holds around 7.9/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 7.9/10. Watch it if you want action/adventure you can settle into.
