How do you even enforce something like that? Did the animals just leave?

One episode idea I came up with was where Sagwa went missing and ended up with amnesia as she is taken in by a husband and wife duo of Chinese animal doctors who try to mend her wounds, all while her family realize she's missing and try to find her. Another idea I had was where Sagwa develops a crush on another cat her age who's visiting with his family, and they bond, but soon it he and his family have to leave, much to Sagwa's dismay as for the first time in her life, she actually fell in love, and her family try to help her cope with the fact that sometimes some things just aren't meant to be. Final idea I had was where Sagwa becomes traumatized after a near death experience, and her family once again help her overcome her trauma.

I used to ask people if they remembered a cartoon about some Chinese cats and nobody had a clue what I was talking about. But I swore I remembered seeing this when I was around 3. Its one of my earliest memories.

I watched everything on PBS and I still remember many of these scenes to this day. I’m so glad more people loved this show!

This show actually changed the way I dreamed. Let me explain. I specifically remember an episode of Sagwa where the catfish was telling the origin of the catfish. There was a girl cat who fell into the water and she met a boy fish and when she first fell in he told her to just breathe slowly, in and out. Now any time I dream about being under water, that's how I breathe underwater.

one thing I've noticed looking back on Sagwa as an adult, is how mature and nuanced most of the stories' messages are! they tackle some pretty complicated themes, but told a simple and understandable way through the animal characters (like in the mouse sanctuary ep). I don't know how familiar the writers were with Chinese culture, but I could see how centuries worth of folktales would make for better material than coming up with moral dilemmas based on relatively-recent American culture

I loved this show! My fave episode was about the origin of catfish. I always thought the story was beautiful where a cat and fish fell and love despite their different backgrounds and the acceptance from their families.

It’s funny cause this is actually how I was first introduced to Asian culture. I loved this show growing up & I still remember how to sing the theme song…😂 I used to rush home every day from school just to catch it on time. This brings back so many good memories ❤️❤️❤️

This was one of my favorite PBS Kids shows I grew up with next to _Arthur,_ _Cyberchase,_ _Zoboomafoo_ and _Sesame Street_ Literally everything from it's unique cast of characters including Fu-Fu the Bat, the life lessons in each episode and the setting of China really fascinated me and you rarely don't see that much animated series during the late 1990's early 2000's set in a country outside the US. I definitely would love to see a new Sagwa animated series either with the same Montreal voice cast from the PBS Kids show or a new all-star voice cast based out in Los Angeles.

As an autistic person myself, I understand why they would pair you up with neurotypical kids. You have to interact with neurotypical people in the real world, probably the most. Thus, they thought pairing you with neurotypical kids would help you learn how to interact better with neurotypical people. However, if neurotypical kids aren't taught about neurodiversity and how to respect it, bullying can happen simply because they don't understand you and thus think of you as weird, annoying or a burden on society. It's also important to respect that not everyone is gonna like everyone else, and that's okay.

There actually was an episode topic. Several of the alley cats talk about how a lot of them have nicknames and that their real names have a strong personal meaning. When Sagwa and her brother get into the conversation the other cats kind of make fun of that her and her siblings names are silly and have no meaning to the point where Sagwa actually considers changing her name. But then her father tells her and her siblings the stories behind their names and how they were all connected to a joyful event that happened to their parents shortly before each was born and helped all three of them realize that their names did have meaning and were not a thing to be ashamed of.

I loved sagwa! It was a morning staple for me and I almost named my siamese cat after her. But I named her Sweetie instead. I remember that her brother had one of same voice actors as D.W. on Arthur! This show also taught me the history of potstickers

Seeing Sagwa on your thumbnail suddenly unearthed deep, long-forgotten memories, what a trip. I loved this show!

I was 4 years old when i watched this and remember the theme song VIVIDLY!!! This was my absolute favorite tv show. Every birthday since I could remember, my older sisters would remind how much I loved this and they would sing the theme song to me 😂😂 always saying how OBSESSED i was lol and wish they sold this on dvd :(

It was somewhat famous here in Brasil. I remember watching almost everyday, it aired alongside of very famous and beloved children cartoons like "Caverna do Dragão", "Madeline" and "As Trigêmeas" Edit: "Fufu" and "Sagwa" became my favorite name to any pet because of this show

I had TOTALLY forgotten about this show!! But seeing the cats' faces brought it all back!

This was my favorite show while it was on and I even had the big jointed Sagwa plush! I don’t know if I still have her somewhere. I hope I do! I vividly remember so many episodes of it, and I remember loving this one where they told a story about a cat that became a catfish. I don’t know why but it’s stuck in my head all these years. I’d love to rewatch the series but I can’t find it anywhere unfortunately.

I remember Sagwa so well I'm always surprised when people think they imagined it or can't find information about it!! Also I loved your video! Super great perspective on the themes that I might not have ever considered. Thanks so much :)

"Hallucination?" Never! I love this show, mostly because of nostalgia and representation. I'm Asian, Latin, and of Indian descent, so I really, really loved this show. I love your plushies and would die to have anyone of em. Dongwa was always my fav character when I was 7. I wish they would bring it back, it was a great show, thank u so much for making a video on it, no one talks about this show, I wish they would instead of Marvel, superhero movies bore me. This is where it's at. Well, I've said my piece. Have a blessed day, bye!

Unless they're the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies. Those were fricking awesome! Maybe, the superman movies with Christopher Reeves, but only because he was handsome. Yeah, I prefer comics or tv shows of superheroes better. Like Batman the Animated Series, that show was cool!ok, for real, bye! Keep making great content!

I absolutely loved Sagwa! My parents had a family computer in their room (a big old Windows 98) and whenever it was gross outside, I would play the tangram game for Ages. I also distinctly remember the one guy swallowing a noodle whole for good luck on one episode, so that's what I would try every time we went to the local Chunese place. I choked on food a lot because of that but I had no regrets.

I'm binging your content and WOW I'm so happy you made a video on this show & the weird way we all thought we made it made it up in our heads

I used to love Sagwa. Haven't thought of it in years. Thank you for jogging these old memories.

When I saw Sagwa in the thumbnail I was confused about if I've ever seen her before, but then you played her theme song & my mouth flew open as nostalgia rushed through me, LOL 🤣. As a Canadian black kid I loved Sagwa; PBS and TVO kids was my childhood so I'm not surprised it's a Canadian show. Man I just love when lost footage in my memories surfaces back up.

This is such an odd coincidence! Last night I made a whole playlist of "nostalgic kids show theme songs", and after racking my brain for more shows I randomly remember Sagwa. The video I watched of the theme song even had comments joking about how it was "a show people remember but don't remember anything about"!

This was delightful!! Thank you for talking about one of my favourite shows from my childhood :)

I had 100% forgotten about this show until I saw the thumbnail for this video. Watching it, everything came back to me so strongly. Thank you for bringing back the good memories!!

I feel like I have a lot of "repressed" memories of shows like this that get awakened specifically by video essays on KZread. It makes me think of Pucca (even though I'm pretty sure Pucca was a lot longer), honestly I think all of the aughts were just a fever dream that became reality

I remember Sagwa as one of those shows I only watched when I was home, sick from school around 7th - 8th grade. So my memories of it are some bizarre mix of The Price Is Right, Sagwa, Between the Lions, and a dash of Bob Ross.

I literally just went through this exact fever dream “did it happen” situation. 😂 My little sister was obsessed with Sagwa!

As a Chinese adopted American, this show did wonders for me as a kid. I knew I was Chinese, and seeing a show that explored China in a very wholesome sense really made me proud to be born there. I loved this show and I thought about it every now and then (quite fondly) as I grew up. I’m now 25 :))

I remember two morals of the episodes very vividly, despite seeing this dubbed when I was a child. First was the one where Magistrate's wife banished bees and swallows because they were a nuisance or hurt her daughters. Later she realized that they had meaning and were useful, so she brought them back. The other was the one where Dongwa was forced by his father to write more scrolls, despite him already doing his job. Later father saw nightmares about his abusive childhood and asked for his son's forgiveness. This one hit home very strongly, as it seemed no matter how good grades I got, it was never enough for my mother.

When you first announced that you were going to review this show, I almost fell out of my seat...I loved to watch Sagwa and a lot of other PBS Kids shows as a child throughout the 2000s, major PBS Kids stan back then 😂 Thank you for posting this Cheyenne, this really made my day.

My sons adored this show on PBS, and I thought the art style, characters and themes were well done and enjoyable for all to view. I also hadn't realised how short lived it was. Since I have 5 sons, the programmes we watched become a blur and often some meme or incident will triggee a memory of a forgotten programme. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. When Sagwa aired , I had 4 sons youngest would have been infant to one year old spanning the epsiodes. Wow, the time has rocketed past has it not?

I've looked for the name of this show for years!! I vividly remember watching it as a kid but no one else ever remember it...thank you for this video! Im so glad to find this small piece of my childhood again :)

I loved this show! They had an interactive website/game called 'Countdown to the New Year' that I would play constantly.

YES. This show just stayed in the back of my mind, kept resurfacing, and for the longest time no one but me seemed to remember it. Though my exposure was through TFO (Télévision française de l'Ontario, its a french ontario channel.) Thank you for this!

This was my favorite show as a kid and I think about it often. It was so cozy. Thank you for making a video about this!!

I used to love that show as a kid. There were a couple cassettes at our local library that I would borrow often.

Okay I’m obsessed with those plushies they’re so cute. Also I’m SO glad you remember those online coloring pages I was just telling my husband how much I loved those!

My sister watched this so much when we were younger, except it wasn't on PBS Kids, but on PBS Sprouts (I'm assuming it's sister company idk). Thanks for jogging our memories lol.

Thanks for this deep dive! Can't remember any of the stories/episodes but definitely remember the show. :D such a good one.

Omg your skit at the end actually had me laughing out loud! I was a little too old for the show when it was airing but I remember thinking it was a cute idea.
