The Toothbrush Family was a children's animated television show that aired from 1977 to 1983. Produced by Southern Star Entertainment, the show revolved around the adventures of the Toothbrush family, a group of anthropomorphic bathroom accessories that live in a magical bathroom kingdom.

The show's main characters included the Toothbrush family, which consisted of an actual toothbrush named Father, a toothpaste dispenser named Mother, and their three children: Flash, Susie, and Max. There was also a set of comical teeth characters, as well as various other bathroom appliances and accessories, such as sponges, soap, and toilet paper.

Unlike many other children's shows of the time, The Toothbrush Family had no real overarching plot or story. Rather, each episode focused on a separate adventure or problem encountered by the Toothbrush family. These problems included everything from repairing a leaky faucet to cleaning up a clogged drain.

Despite the lack of a clear narrative structure, the show was beloved by both children and parents alike. This was due in large part to the show's colorful and imaginative animation, which brought to life the wonderfully detailed world of the Toothbrush family's magical bathroom kingdom.

Another reason for the show's popularity was its engaging and endearing cast of characters. Father Toothbrush was the stern but loving head of the family, while Mother Toothpaste was gentle and nurturing. Flash, the eldest son, was a bit of a troublemaker but always meant well. Susie, the middle child, was sweet and often acted as the voice of reason, while Max, the youngest, was a rambunctious but loveable toddler.

The show was also notable for its memorable theme song, which was sung by Canadian voice actress Billie Mae Richards, who also provided the voice for Susie Toothbrush. The theme song, which began with the iconic line "Brusha, Brusha, Brusha," became an instant classic and is still remembered fondly by those who grew up watching the show.

Overall, The Toothbrush Family was a fun and entertaining show that provided children with both useful hygiene tips and imaginative adventures. Thanks to its timeless appeal and enduring popularity, the show has remained a beloved classic in the world of children's television.

The Toothbrush Family is a series that ran for 1 seasons (16 episodes) between May 31, 1997 and on Southern Star Entertainment
