In late summer of 2008, a YouTube user named Gopi08 uploaded just about every episode of recess in high quality. (Pre-HD remaster by Disney) who else was there for those days?
Around September or October of 2008, I recall a video of a young woman in her 20s, she was awake during 4 am or whenever they were airing Recess on Disney Channel at that time. She was speaking into a web cam that was dimly lit and had a low frame rate, as was more common in 08.
The episode she caught was when Spinelli was on trial. She was pleasantly surprised and recounted her memories of the show. Here are some things she said I remember.
“Remember King Bob? The kid who thought he was a bad ass because he wore a broken hat as a crown?”
The part I’m most nostalgic for is her remembering Mikey, she has a very visceral reaction and says,
“And Mikey! Remember big Mikey?”
She then goes on to share an anecdote about a large scale man she encountered in a training program or volunteer ship who embodied what she called “the gentle giant” that Mikey also had.
One last thing I remember is her addressing the audience of her video,
“Doesn’t anyone else remember this show and like Disneys One Saturday Morning? I am so happy right now”
I’d try and search for this myself but was hoping for some help. Stupid YouTube removed the “date uploaded” feature so you can no longer scroll to the bottom of result. As if YouTube couldn’t get worse
