Ready Jet Go!



Ready Jet Go! is a very odd preschool (but not really) show from the mind of Craig Bartlett, who also brought us Hey Arnold! and Dinosaur Train. It airs on most PBS affiliates in the United States.

It involves a kid named Jet Propulsion and his family, who look like humans are are really aliens, who arrive on Earth to study it and write travel reports. Along the way, Jet befriends three neighborhood kids: Sean Rafferty (a space nerd), Sydney Skelley (a sci-fi fan and Greek mythology buff), and Mindy Melendez (a rather one-note little girl).

Also part of the cul-de-sac are Mitchell Peterson, an amateur detective who is hellbent on exposing Jet's alien identity, and Lillian, an air headed yet sweet girl who is a friend of Mindy.

The show premiered on February 15, 2016 and was a huge hit for the public broadcaster. It was renewed for a second season, which premiered on April 2, 2018. Unfortunately, the show got cancelled in October 2019, with the final special airing on June 17, 2019.
