I've decided that the show we'll watch in the Pre-Stream will be ReBoot, and that we'll give the animated version of The Tick a rest for now, as we just finished a Tick series.
Also, I just found out that we just passed the one year anniversary of these pre-streams a week or two ago, so I'm making that the theme this week.
We watched the first two episodes of the animated version of The Tick and the first two episodes of ReBoot last week, but I'll give ReBoot it's "official" introduction in this post.
This is the description from the playlist:

ReBoot is a Canadian computer-animated TV series that originally aired on YTV from 1994 to 2001. It was produced by Vancouver-based Mainframe Entertainment, Alliance Communications and BLT Productions. The animated series was created by Gavin Blair, Ian Pearson, Phil Mitchell, and John Grace, with the visuals designed by Brendan McCarthy after an initial attempt by Ian Gibson. It was one of the world's first CGI television series.
The series follows the adventures of a Guardian named Bob and his companions Enzo and Dot Matrix as they work to keep the computer system of Mainframe safe from the viruses and other threats.
A reimagined, live-action/CGI-animated series, ReBoot: The Guardian Code, was announced in 2015,[6] and the first ten episodes debuted on Netflix worldwide (excluding Canada) on March 30, 2018.[7] YTV aired all twenty episodes from June 4 to July 5, 2018.
The series follows the adventures of a Guardian named Bob and his companions Enzo and Dot Matrix as they work to keep the computer system of Mainframe safe from the viruses known as Megabyte and Hexadecimal. The setting is in the inner world of a computer system known by its inhabitants as Mainframe. It was deliberately chosen due to technological constraints at the time, as the fictional computer world allowed for blocky looking models and mechanical animation.[8]
A recurring plot thread is when the User loads a game, an electrical violet cube lowers onto part of the city. Anyone trapped inside becomes NPCs and have the chance to stop the User. If the User wins, the area is destroyed and the residents reduced to leech like creatures called Nulls.
