Bobby's World (originally known as The World According to Bobby) is an American animated comedy children's television series that aired on Fox Kids from September 8, 1990 to February 23, 1998. The show was created by Canadian actor/comedian Howie Mandel, who also performs the voices of both Bobby and his father Howard Generic. It was produced by Film Roman for Mandel's company Alevy Productions and Fox Children's Productions in association with 20th Century Fox Television and Saban International. The theme song for Bobby's World was composed by John Tesh and Michael Hanna. Premise The series follows the daily life of Bobby Generic ( ), with his very overactive imagination and how he sees the world. Episodes Characters Main Robert Adelvice "Bobby" Generic (voiced by Howie Mandel) – The main character of the series. He is a young 4- (5- in seasons 2 through 6, then 6- in seasons 7 and 8) year-old boy who loves to fantasize. An imaginative Bobby claims however that he came from his dreams. Scenes with Bobby most often involve elaborate literal interpretations of the popular or colloquial sayings uttered by other characters during the show (i.e. a "traffic jam" becomes Traffic Jam, as Bobby imagines spreading tiny cars and trucks on a piece of bread and taking a bite). When he enters contests, he tends to end up losing because Bobby ends up being himself instead of using his common sense. Bobby has spiky black hair. He wears a white shirt with red short sleeves (which also reveals his stomach exposed), red shorts and blue sneakers. Family members The Generic family's surname is pronounced "JEN-uh-rik", but mispronounced as "juh-NEHR-ik" by other characters as a running gag. Howard Generic (modeled upon and also voiced by Howie Mandel using his normal voice) – Bobby's father. He usually punishes his son Bobby by sending him to his room for his misbehaving. Martha Sven-Generic (voiced by Gail Matthius) – Bobby's mother, who has red hair and is often seen wearing a sky-blue tracksuit. She has a prominent Midwestern accent, and often peppered her speech with phrases like "Fer corn sakes", "Fer cryin' in the mud", "gee golly", "gosh darn" and "dont'cha know." Gail Matthius based Martha on her Saturday Night Live character, Roweena, a chain-smoking hairdresser. Kelly Generic (voiced by Charity James) – Bobby's 15-year-old tomboyish rebellious sister, the eldest Generic sibling, sporting a blonde shag haircut, purple eyeshadow,
