Time Squad is an American animated television series created by Dave Wasson, following the adventures of a trio of hapless "time cops", who travel back in time attempting to correct the course of history. The series ran on Cartoon Network from June 8, 2001, to November 26, 2003, airing 26 episodes in total. Wasson described the series as "a C-average student's approach to history."
The series follows Otto Osworth, a cowardly, underachieving young boy who, through a series of improbable events, becomes the leader of Time Squad. This is a group tasked with traveling through history to correct deviations from the established timeline. Alongside his more capable and well-trained companions, Tuddrussell and Connie, Otto bumbles his way through historical epochs, often making situations worse before accidentally fixing them.
Time Squad received generally positive reviews from critics and audiences, praised for its clever humor, unique premise, and effective use of historical settings for comedic effect. While it may not have achieved mainstream blockbuster status, it garnered a dedicated cult following for its originality and sharp writing.
Google audience: Audience feedback highlights the show's sharp writing and humor, particularly its ability to make historical figures and events accessible and funny for a younger audience while still engaging adults. Many recall it fondly as a unique and memorable cartoon.
The character of Tuddrussell is a parody of the gruff, no-nonsense military archetypes often found in science fiction, voiced by Christopher McCulloch, who also served as a writer and executive producer for the series.
