Simontv17

simontv17 is an American plushtuber who focuses on other topics as well such as gaming, K'nex Mario Kart tracks, live-action videos, unboxing, tutorials, etc.

However, most of the videos are on plush videos in his main series Simontive which is sometimes incorrectly treated the same as simontv17.

Simontive currently has seven seasons which its own themes, but there are generally two separations in the series of season 5 through 7 and the season 4 and earlier.

Most of the plush videos take place in a fictional country called "Dogland" which has its own states of Appleland, Budland and recently Yoshi's Island, their own embassy, passport control, and borders. Most of these divisions are based on editing style and the plot of the story since these seem very different.

There is a series called Mr. Dinosaur's Adventure which is a story based on Mr. Dinosaur who is one of the main charters in Simontive.

Some of the other series are less popular, but some notable exceptions are the K'nex Mario Kart Wii tracks, the video on using FM Radio on an airplane, and some of the live-action videos. Most of the plush videos have some humor built in the story.

Simontive
These videos are the main series on simontv17, and this is where the "Simon" is the main character of the channel. This has the most videos of the channel in total.

Simontive 5-7
Season 5 and 6 are considered the best two seasons in terms of upload schedule, plotline, and the amount of characters. The general conflict starts at the end of Simontive 4 where a terrorist group called "DTO" or "Dogland Terrorist Organization" kills Limon's who's Simon's wife. DTO is headed by a duck named Yi formerly called Acholduck who has other group members rebel against Simon and the Dogland government. Later, Simon takes action, and there are videos of various fights and tensions between these two groups. Later other characters join different sides, and there was countries being aligned to one side or another. Dogland also officially called the "Republic of Dogland" was aligned with the UK and the USA while Yi had their own proclaimed version of Dogland which was aligned with the People's Republic of China. DTO later switched into to (DRO) Dogland Rebel Organization

Later, these conflicts grew, and this issue grew again. However, Yi was able to obtain "Sofa Territory" which was its own territory/country inside of Dogland. However, Simon could have Dogland became under full control of Yi.

All of the videos have closed captioning in this group range but maybe a little bit inaccurate and are filmed in 1080p.
