3	''Generation O!'' was an American animated series that aired on Creator/KidsWB for one season from 2000-2001 about the life of a popular eight year old [[TheRockStar rock star]] named Molly O! (Yes, with the [[PunctuationShaker exclamation mark]]. It's her actual surname.)
4
5	Most episodes dealt with the fact that, despite being famous and acclaimed, she was still a child who had to obey her parents and follow the rules, much to her displeasure; and her struggles to fit in in school. ("What, your ears aren't pierced? Doesn't matter if you're a rock star. You are a loooser!")

8	!Tropes:
9	* AcquaintanceDenial: A nonverbal version in "Damp Sheets". When Molly admits to a crowd of people that [[EmbarrassingDampSheets she wet the bed once]], Buzz tears his surname off his name tag so no one will know that he's related to her.
10	* AllDrummersAreAnimals: Literally, in the case of Yo-yo.
11	* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: Yo-yo, the purple kangaroo.
12	* [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling Annoying Older Sibling]]: Buzz is a pest to his sister Molly.
13	* BandToon: All about Molly O!'s band and their experiences.
14	* BizarreBeverageUse: In "Damp Sheets", Sen. Shift puts boxes of a type of juice called "punch fun" into the hotel's bed where Molly is sleeping to remind her that he knows her secret (that she once [[EmbarrassingDampSheets wet the bed]] after drinking punch fun).
15	* ChristmasEpisode: "Lone Fry" is one, about Molly's class putting on a [[SchoolPlay Christmas pageant]].
16	* DisguisedInDrag: Molly dressed up as a boy in one episode to get into a boys-only monster truck rally.
17	* EarPiercingPlot: In "Pierced Ears", eight-year-old Molly wants to have her ears pierced for several reasons -- a celebrity gave her an earring, she wants to hang pretty things from her ears, and she knows three girls who have piercings, one of whom is three years younger than her. However, while her father's on board with it, her mother forbids Molly from getting her ears pierced until she's fifteen. Molly tries to persuade her mother to let her get her ears pierced now.
18	* EmbarrassingDampSheets: In "Damp Sheets"... sure is self-explanatory.
19	* EmbarrassmentPlot: In "Damp Sheets", a mean guy embarrasses Molly by finding out she wets the bed and threatening to tell everybody.
20	* FakeBand: Molly O! and her band, naturally.
21	* FeeFiFauxPas: After Molly blames Buzz for causing a monster truck to destroy part of a building, later on she sings "I did it" in that episode's associated song instead of the proper lyrics, "I dig it."
22	* GirlsVsBoysPlot: There is one such episode, with the feud being between Chad and Molly. In the episode in question, "Girls Rule, Boys Drool", Molly makes a song called "Girls Rule, Boys Drool" after she gets angry at her brother Buzz. As revenge, Buzz posts the song behind her back and Chadd hears it, damaging their friendship.
23	* IntergenerationalFriendship: Between the child Molly and the adult Nub.
24	* NoExportForYou: InUniverse example. The Dancing Schuberts try to sue Molly O! by claiming that she copied a song they made that was only released in Micronesia.
25	* OncePerEpisode: Molly O! would make a song in each episode, and the subject matter of said song varied depending on what the episode was about.
26	* PopStarComposer: The Boston-based alternative rock band Letters To Cleo performed all of Generation O’s songs; Kay Handley, the lead singer and guitarist for Letters To Cleo provided Molly's singing voice.
27	* SchoolPlay: "Lone Fry" is about Molly being the sole outcast of a Christmas pageant the students are performing at her school.
28	* SoupIsMedicine: Molly is fed soup when she gets a sore throat in "Deviated Tonsils".
29	* StopMotion: Buzz made a student film in one episode that was presented in this way.
30	* TitleDrop: In the first episode, a TV anchor says "Whatever happened to Molly O!?", which is the name of that episode.
31	* TitleScream: "''GENERATION OOOOOOOOO! GENERATION OOOOOOOOO! GENERATION '''O!!!'''''"
32	* TitleThemeTune: "Welcome to ''Generation O''!"
33	* TheTonsillitisEpisode: Molly gets tonsilitis in "Deviated Tonsils".
34	* UnconventionalFoodUsage: In "[[TheTonsillitisEpisode Deviated Tonsils]]", a doctor has Molly yodel while chewing on chocolate at the same time. When this makes Molly cough, the doctor concludes that Molly's tonsillitis is too acute to be dealt with without surgery.
