Whiz Kids 1.1

[nightwolf73]

ahh yes shows and tv were so much more wholesome....even porn was more wholesome lmao

[CuteNekoHibiki]

1:41, the sign, Sunnydale... Sunnydale, it's vampires!^_^

[Potsie791]

The only problem with these dumb shows, like this one, the Bloodhound Gang, and the Hardy Boys et al., is that kids are never going to be smart enough to solve crimes and adults are never so stupid as to get caught like that. The funny thing is there never usually portrayed as kids at all, there dialogue is much too sophisticated and their reasoning and thinking is much too clever.

kenny powers brought me here.

[marshalljimduncan]

@eddiegfan22 Me too, lol!! 

[CrowdPleeza]

Nowdays I bet you only need one computer to do most of the stuff that they were doing with all that equipment.

[neocoders]

I love how in these shows there is an abundance of homicidal psychopaths lurking in every institution.

[zoidburg111]

i remember this show.....i loved it at the time......man i miss good tv shows.....

[zoidburg111]

the music bits sound realy similar to "the mysterious cities of gold" cartoon series....

[zoidburg111]

[rainbowgirl678]

[phdecora]

[shahrukhpagali]

I had forgotten about this show! This brings me back!

[kuronokoneko]

I love this!!! I viewed this serie in Spain (Europe) when I was young, and now I'm computer programer. Thanks Orion1052003! :)

[frankieflash]

thats cool!

[jwg2372]

This is what I love about Youtube. You find shows you haven't seen in ages here. I loved this show as a kid...especially the cross-over episode they did with THE WIZARD. Is that one up on here?

[shahrukhpagali]

I would LOVE to see episodes of The Wizard again.

[jimmydeeone]

sunnydale hospital lol

[k4purple]

[Cr0ut]

The name of the show is Otherworld. It lasted one season in 1985. I'm so glad there is another 80's tv junky asking about the same shows I have stuck in my head.

[roystonlodge]

Wow, the newspaper's computer displays anti-aliased fonts! In 1982!

[gregvb]

Wow! What a blast from my past. This was one of my fav shows at the time. Sure, they botched the technology, but it was the first show to put real micros in the spotlight, and since I was a budding computer geek, that was all that mattered.

[cedfr01]

OMFG ,because of wargames and this serie that i am so addict to hacking and technology

[zsyed12345678]

I totally agree cedfr01. Much of my life interests (most notably technology) was influenced by those early 80s (and even 70s) sci-fi nerdism productions like Automan, Whiz Kids, WarGames, Tron, etc.

[kjk10075]

Did you ever see actress Melanie Gaffin guest star as Marilu Henner's daughter on The TV series Taxi? She looked as cute as a button.

[HardyGirl66]

I only got to see an ep ot 2 back in the 80s. (Dad ruled the TV at night in my teen years). But this show reminds me of a hi-tech version of another show Matthew Laborteaux did in the 70s called "The Red-Hand Gang". There were a bunch of boys and a girl solving mysteries in this one too! It's on YouTube. Check it out and see what you think!

[jwg2372]

"The Red Hand Gang" Oh my god I haven't heard anyone mention that show in decades. I remember watching that on saturday mornings back in the late 70s. They don't make kid shows like that anymore.

[Daddysbre1]

Did you post these in ordor they aired on tv or just in random ordor?

[GeekBoy03]

Ahhh..lovely California before the US government allowed 20 million immigrants to pack into the state and fuck it up.

[IuTiubTM]

- You know what really aggravazes me? It's them immigants. They wants all the benefits of living in Springfield, but they ain't even bother to learn themselves the language.

- Hey, those are exactly my sentimonies.

[kjk10075]

I have the DVD's! But it is not the best quality - its a VHS transfer.

[kjk10075]

Melanie Gaffin (Richie Adlers little sister, Cheryl Adler) is as cute as it gets!

[jimmyvibes]

Loved the Whiz Kids - bring it to dvd now!!!

[kinglonewolf104]

Thanks for uploading it. I'll watch the other videos another time. LOL, I love it when the little girl says "Your supposed to scream when you see a dead body, everybody knows that!" :)

&eB

[littleholligirl]

I think we had to watch this in my school.

[pontius]

Thank you so much. I loved this show

[shnuki]

Thanks so much for uploading this show! I loved it when I was a little girl and haven't seen it since. Todd Porter was my first celebrity crush. Ahhh... memories...

[Scsibut]

Todd Porter is an asswipe.

[orion1052003]

Why do you say that?

[tod1305]

It was aired in uk about 83 84 on a sunday i think

[brhodes0]

Hi this looks bloody brilliant, I don't think it was ever aired here in the UK but if it had been, I know I would have loved it. Stumbled on it looking for BMX stuff and I'm gonna watch the lot. Thanks!! :]

[geoffmthomas]

Oh it was you know. Only once but it was.

[orion1052003]

Do that! Do you have any other old recordings? Any Federated commercials? The guy smashing TVs?

[dustoffxl71]

Andrea Elson I loved very much! She was on Alf too!

I just found a partial recording of Whiz Kids on one of my VHS tapes. I'll have to upload it.

[fl1992]

Actress Andrea Elson AKA Lynn Tanner from Alf is such a pretty girl! She's as cute as a button! She could be my older sister! I love her very much also!

[Daddysbre1]

I AGREE!!!

[fl1992]

Did you ever see Actress Andrea Elson as a guest star on Married With Childrem season 7, The Wedding Show episode back in the year 1993? She looked so Gorgeous as a bridesmaid in a black mini skirt next to the Foxy Actress Christina Applegate AKA Kelly Bundy!

[orion1052003]

The E.T. ripoff scene has not been uploaded yet, where they basically repeated a scene from the movie with the same kind of setting. But you're right, the bikes thing was there back in the days, BMX and bikes were in.

[musicalinodanapoli]

@orion1052003 yes is flop the movies 

[shannonm75]

It was just getting interesting. I see what you mean about E.T. rip off with the bikes. That was just sort of the trend-hanging out with your friends and riding bikes. I did that.

[orion1052003]

Oh, also on the "it was just getting interesting" part, 5 full episodes are already up. You just have to look for the next segment to it, in this case Whiz Kids 1.2.

Youtube generally allows only 10 minutes per video.

[artefuckto]

maravilloso... en Chile se llamaban "Los Chicos Computarizados"... tenia 7 u 8 años cuando la pasaban. Gracias!

[orion1052003]

Tu estan en Chile? "The computer boys"? Ella no es un chico, ha! Yo estoy feliz que tu disfruta este novela. Bueno. My spanish is not so good.

[orion1052003]

Ritchie was also on the cover of Blip! magazine at least once, and I believe teen mags and junk like that. (Matthew Laborteaux from Little House on the Prarie) Michael Landon was the man!

[atomicbunnygirl]

heh wow early primitive forms of IM and texting people threw the internet heh heh

[mobileotoko]

This show was on air in Japan too. I love this.

I think this show made an influence on Japanese

PC culture.

Andrea Elson was so cute for Japanese fan!

[fl1992]

I loved Actress Andrea Elson! What a Gorgeous Woman! She would later play Teenage Lynn Tanner on Alf!

[DanHarkless]

Excellent archival work!! I'd totally forgotten about this show. The opening theme and credits definitely rang a bell or two, though.

Watching this, the show was surprisingly non-dumbed-down, and the technical stuff was even semi-reasonable. Pretty ahead of its time to feature facial recognition authentication like that.

[orion1052003]

There are 2 full episodes on at this time of '07. Each is in 10 minute intervals as you tube doesn't like long videos. Try Whiz Kids 1.2 for the next chapter of the full episode. Eventually the entire series should be up.

[slice72]

can we get the full episode??

[xxShannonGreenxx]

Dude , where can it get this video?

[Randyh9]

Thank you so much.
