About this episode

Will and Lucas explore the journey and impact of Dragon Tales, including its connections to other franchises and its merchandise.

(ORIGINAL AIRDATE: November 21, 2020) Will and Lucas wish on a dragon scale, and find themselves neck-deep in Dragon Tales! The guys explore the long road that the show took to becoming a reality, and just how lucrative it was for PBS Kids (plus, the wild merchandise!). Along the way, they discover the show's connections to ReBoot and the Gundam franchise, its theme song and Will's take on it, reminisce on an EXTREMELY regional popcorn franchise, and why Dragon Tales may secretly be anime... Some of the research for this episode came from this episode of DefunctTV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNF6XhSF0a8
