The show is framed as the original cartoon being aired by a small TV station in the middle of nowhere, where the resident video jockeys remember the series from their childhood. However the series is not how they remember it, thus ''Tamers Abridged'' parodies the characters, events and themes of the original show while also parodying television broadcasting and satirizing nostalgia. Whereas ''SFA'' and ''Jetters'' were off-the-wall reimaginings of the source material, ''Tamers'' is more direct in its parody. |

About
The show is framed as the original cartoon being aired by a small TV station in the middle of nowhere, where the resident video jockeys remember the series from their childhood. However the series is not how they remember it, thus Tamers Abridged parodies the characters, events and themes of the original show while also parodying television broadcasting and satirizing nostalgia. Whereas SFA and Jetters were off-the-wall reimaginings of the source material, Tamers is more direct in its parody.
Background
Thorn decided to abridge Digimon Tamers in 2012 after finding that there were no good abridged series of it. However the only footage he could find had Jetix watermarks and TV ratings cards, and no raws were available at the time. Instead of giving up or using the footage without addressing the watermarks, he decided to make Jetix the framing device of the series; brainstorming with Yoshi helped to establish the idea of two video jockeys in a small-town TV station broadcasting the show and acting similarly to Mystery Science Theater 3000.
The series was held back due to the first episode's script failing to progress. Thorn brought in Jpace92 to help him finish the script in October 2013, and the first episode was completed on January 8, 2014.
