Welcome to the Time Squad guide at TV.com.''Time Squad is one of Cartoon Network's original animated series and is part of the collection known as Cartoon Cartoons.''First Telecast: June 8, 2001''Last Telecast: April 18, 2003''Click on the following link to sign a petition to Keep Time Squad Going!!!!!''We start every episode in a satellite that orbits the earth in the year 100 million. Buff time cop, Buck Tuddrussel; cranky, yet sophisticated robot, the Larry 3000; and 8-year-old orphan boy, Otto Osworth; three of the most unlikely characters to become a trio join together in that satellite to go on whatever mission through history they get, to make sure everything happens the right way, while making it through mishaps on the satellite in between missions. They go though it all: from Eli Whitney's flesh eating robots to the accidental downgrade of Larry, but they're always ready for the sudden blaze of the History Instability Alarm and they'll do anything to "enforce the past to protect the future".''''Characters Buck Tuddrussel- Tuddrussel is the main time cop of the squad, and not a very good one at that. He's known to not be very bright, and always seems to think that violence is the answer to everything. He often has to be pointed in the right direction by his servant robot, Larry, and the boy, Otto. And he doesn't know anything about history! When he's not on a mission, he enjoys practicing his sharp shooting, reading his laser magazines, and weight lifting. The Larry 3000- Tuddrussel's servant. Not a very happy one, though. But you'd be as unhappy as he is if you had to work for such a terrible leader! He often has to stop Tuddrussel from doing anything bad, and many times has his chance to show his creativity in foods spoiled when Tuddrussel asks for a burger, the only thing he ever wants! He was originally designed to assist kings and diplomats, but was later transfered with Tuddrussel. When he's not on a mission, he enjoys golfing, knitting, and any other civilized hobby--you name it! He doesn't know anything about history either! Otto Osworth- The boy orphan who talked Tuddrussel and Larry into abducting him from the School for Wayward Tots in the 21st century, using the fact that he knew so much about history. Whenever they get a mission he's always there to tell what the person from history's famous for. He's also there when Tuddrussel (or "Tuddrussel and Larry", believe it or not) do something he knows is wrong! When he's not on a mission, he enjoys playing with what ever toy, game, or puzzle based on famous people or moments in history he can get his hands on, and his well known skill is karate, which he learned from the television show he watched at the orphanage, called Karate Theater He starts out 8 in episodes 1-18 and turns 9 for episodes 19+''''Awards And Nominations''''2002- nominated for Best Teamwork Award on Cartoon Networks First Ever 13th Annual Fancy Anvil Award Show (((live in stereo)))''''Guide Crew''Dan&SandwichBoy - Head Editor''Cartoon_Fanatic - Co-editor'''''' Air times starting March 3''''Monday-Thursdays @ 7:00pm''''Fridays @ 8:00pm''''Saturdays @ 1:00pm''''Sundays @ 5:00pm Polls''No polls at the moment.moreless

  • This show sadly was very, very weird. It was about 3 going into time and correcting historical errors from those who "somehow"erroredof theirhistoricallyways. Uh, what?

    Personally, I found the whole plot kinda silly and ridicoulous.
    Not to mention it felt like a ripoff of Sherman and Peabody.
    I mean, they also basically fixed historical errors to be honest, so it's not thatoriginal.
    But to be honest, the whole idea of fixing history unless there's a good explanation why that makes sense seems really stupid and unnecessary.
    Seriously, why would historical figures all of a sudden not follow history, especially since it's called, "History?"
    Nevermind...
    Ironically though, the best episode IMO were the ones that had nothing to do with fixing history.
    It was the ones that involved personal conflicts between Tuddrussel and the Larry-3000
    I mean, I thought it was hilarious when the Larry-3000 and Tuddrussel basically drew a line in their base, only to end up on each other's side. XD
    And then the one where the Larry-3000's programming go a muck and ends up being Tuddrussel's slave in terms of giving him burger after burger after burger.
    I'm sorry, but that is just too funny.
    Why in the world weren't there more episodes like this?
    Fixing historical timelines that had no basis to go off track in the fix place seems just a silly and stupid idea.
    So yea, the show was bad, but it wasn't horrible I'll admit.
    And to be honest, I would have loved to have seen aspin offof Tuddrussel and the Larry-3000 basically having to live in a tiny aparment, trying to keep from driving each other nuts.
    Now that would have worth watching.moreless

  • A show ahead of its time, Time Squad appeals to everyone with its funny humor, parodies of historical characters, and wacky stories

    Time Squad was one of those shows that was ahead of its time but it never lived to its full extent. The story is about a cop named Tuddrussel, his robot, Larry, and an orphan they picked up in the 21st century who is also a history whiz named Otto. All three of them together must go back in time and correct any mistakes in the past that famous historical people did. Tuddrussel comes off as the funniest character with him always thinking of violence as the answer and never thinking at all, and watching him fight with Larry is humorous as well. Larry is the more serious of the gang but when he fights Tuddrussel, that's where his humor soars. Otto is usually the most serious but he can be funny from time to time. The stories themselves are very funny to watch, especially the parodies of the historical people. Abraham Lincoln is a criminal, Edgar Allen Poe is a happy person, and Julius Caesar is a fat slob who is destroying Rome. It's just funny to see famous people be the oposite of who they were and each episode will always guarantee you plenty of laughs. The artwork and animation look really good for its time and hasn't aged at all, it still looks fantastic. Time Squad was a great show while it lasted, but it was ahead of its time and got the boot too soon. Hopefully CN or another kids network will pick it up and make new episodes, they didn't even scratch the number of famous people and the parodies they could have done with them. Check this show out of you can, it is worth your time (no pun intended).moreless

  • This was my third favorite series of all of the Cartoon Cartoons.

    Behind Courage the Cowardly Dog and the Powerpuff girls this was my favorite Cartoon Cartoon. by the way, Johnny Bravo takes fourth place. Anyway, Time Squad was simply amazing. It took history and the future and mixed them nicely together in a wacky cartoon way. I actually learned alot from this series, no lie. It was so cool to see people from history in cartoon form. Please, if you have not seen this series then I highly recomend that you see it. Unfortunately I do not know where to find it besides a website called toonamiaftermath.com. This is a cartoon network classic and is extremely underrated!moreless

    I really liked this show when it first came on in 2001. This show is really funny, and it will keep you laughing the whole way through. My favorite episode was the one when the Time Squad had to correct Edgar Allen Poe's mistake. Edgar Allen Poe was famous for his dark poetry, and inventing the horror story genre. In the episode however, Edgar was writing happy stories instead of horror stories. The funniest part was when Edgar dressed up like a clown. I was cracked up! All right, now to why I want this show back on TV. This show is better than uhhh..would a Squirrel Boy, Bakugan, Out of Jimmy's Head, Chop Socky Chooks, and Baby Looney Tunes ring a bell? Time Squad is alot more enjoyable, and funny than the listed above shows. I have not seen this show in 5 years, until just yesterday. I watched this show on CN Video. Still, watching Time Squad is better on TV than on the computer. Cartoon Network, put this back on TV PLEASE!!!!! I think your ratings will go up.moreless

  • I remember how much I used to love this show

    It's been a while since I have seen this show on television, but I can remember how much I absolutely loved the show and thought it was hilarious. I liked the concept of a team going back in time to fix history. One of my favorite episodes was when they went back to fix the name of the sandwich, and how Larry's food became more popular than the other guy's "stinky pile of poo." I don't remember much of the episodes, and it has been a very long time since I actually watched Cartoon Network, but if it still shows, I recommend it as an entertaining way to learn about history.moreless
