Fetch Archives Part 1 (Games)

Fetch! with Ruff Ruffman was one of my favorite shows growing up as a kid: I loved the challenges, the locations, and I especially loved the website. The games were fun then and they were just as fun now. That said, there's no reason a mid-2000s Flash website needed as much content as the Fetch site did. Sadly, this seems to be a trend among the PBS Kids sites of my childhood.

Recording all the footage was a nightmare: the original video was over 7 and a half hours long, and I only got it to this length by cutting out all my screwups and long pauses on some screens. This video doesn't include the games that I either couldn't get to work or wasn't able to complete, as well as the printables or a proper site tour. Chapter times are below.

I’m so thankful for this since I can’t play them anymore. The nostalgia is real, thank you for making this🥺

Did anyone else freak out when they were younger at the sound effect that plays near the beginning of the CSI. I remember when I was younger I would replay the CSI game everyone I was at my grandmas house and I would run into the other room so I wouldn’t have to listen to the audio. I had a full fight or flight response listening to that audio. Nostalgic overdose.

[Kettterer]

I really want the games to return, even if FETCH! is transferred to mobile/computer apps.

[elytraultra]

I remember these games. The games make me laugh all the time. I haven't play it since 5 years ago. I miss them.

[wokeuplikedis]

I don't know why but the CSI game has always creeped me out.

36:52 I did this over and over and over again when I was a kid because it was so funny.

Freeze dance party taught me something that I didn't know I needed until sophomore year.

If only Adobe flash wasn’t down the I’d play these games and relive my elementary school days of watching this show and playing games after school 😣

The full HD of that song!!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[danejenkinson-tvkv]

I was scared of this level the first time I played it

[meganecucinotta]

What's your favorite moment in the series?
I have a few.
One was the episode "How to break the Ice and also Waddle on It."
Another time was almost the entirety of "Eureka is Not a Brand of Dog Food" of how Ruff's Owner is making him fetch constantly, even while hosting his show. Ruff's annoyance and crying over it was pretty funny.
And the fact that "The Ol' Shell game" featured Crush from Finding Nemo! Almost as if it's a crossover!

[sewerrat]

i was so bad at woahler coaster, but it was always my favorite

[SayoRacing]

Those games were fun i miss playing them

[wayzy]

I really like these games, I hope someone ports them to HTML5 properly
