Once upon a time, when we were kids, no Saturday morning was complete without watching a good ole block of Saturday cartoons. Come to think of it, that might be why most of us wear glasses now, but those Qubo shows we watched glued to our tellies were absolutely worth it! Even though the network is now defunct, it does not mean that Qubo cartoons do not take up a special place in our memories! To celebrate them and to sprinkle your day with a bit of nostalgia, we created this extensive list dedicated to the best Qubo TV shows. 

Since the channel’s programs were designed for kids, chances are, you even had the pleasure of growing up together with the ever-imaginative characters and high-morale stories. Oh, and you might’ve also learned a thing or two from their educational shows, such as The Magic School Bus. And while it wasn’t the only educational show on TV at the time, it sure enriched our lazy Sundays with a bit of science. All of it without us even knowing that we were learning! 

What Cartoons Did Qubo Have?

Qubo had a vast array of excellent cartoons, catering to age groups from five to fourteen years old. As you know, the differences between someone aged five and fourteen are huge! So, to keep the growing audiences still watching Qubo, the broadcaster made sure to have both cartoons for preschoolers and educational shows for older kids. That’s why old Qubo cartoons are so varied! You have your Willa’s Wild Life, and then you have The Mysteries Of Alfred Hedgehog. Two entirely different old Qubo shows, but both of excellent quality. 

However, if you’re wondering which Qubo cartoon took the grand prize of being the most-watched, we have a surprise for you. According to IMDB, a veritable source for all things TV and cinema, the most popular Qubo show was none other than He-Man Man And The Masters Of The Universe! Come to think of it, it’s not such a big surprise — the show was pure excellence. 

As for the rest of Qubo’s repertoire, you’ll find most of the shows listed in this article, with twenty first ones donning short descriptions of their plot and characters. So, ready to take a look at our list of Qubo TV shows? Scroll away!

Great show, even better if you binge it weekly, mainly due to the amount of episodes/seasons the show has, similar to pokemon, adults should binge Curious George weekly, not dailly. Imagine an adult binged it daily, while having a busy life style, kids should had no problem binge it dailly tho

    Jacob Two-Two

    Being the youngest of five siblings is not easy: Jacob needs to say everything twice to be heard, which earned him the nickname Jacob Two-Two. Jacob has a strong sense of right and wrong but doesn’t always get things right the first time around. He also has a knack for getting himself into and out of trouble in unexpected ways. The storyline of every episode involves him trying to do something and having it backfire until he learns a moral lesson from it.

    I don’t remember if the cartoon was like this, but the original stories from 1931 are seriously f****d up. His mother is killed by hunter so Babar grows up among humans. When the elephant king dies via poisonous mushrooms, the “civilized” Babar returns to the jungle and becomes king. The whole thing has colonialist overtones. Oh, and he also marries his cousin.

    Does Qubo TV Still Exist?

    Sadly, no. After a successful fifteen-year run, Qubo was shut down on February 28, 2021. And, although there are some rumors floating around that the broadcaster might resurface in 2023, they are unverified and thus untrustworthy. Although, to be honest, we wished they were true!

    As for the shows on Qubo and what happened to them, the answer is a bit more positive. You can find a lot of these old cartoons as a part of other broadcasters’ programming; you can look for them on streaming platforms and even find the oldest ones on YouTube.

    If your parents didn’t make you watch this show when it aired on Qubo, then let me tell you what you missed out on! Ian Kelly is a 12-year-old aspiring filmmaker with a pretty wild imagination who dreams of winning an Academy Award. He often gets lost in daydreams, many of which are parodies of popular movies. Unfortunately, his family does not recognize his artistic talent, which is an ongoing source of frustration for him.
