  • The Weekenders is that perfect slice of life show that follows a group of friends and what they get into during the weekenders, thus the name, The Weekenders! Today, let's take a look at who The Weekenders are and what happened to the show!

    Hell yeah I do. One of the best “just normal kids with normal lives” cartoons from the 2000s, imo. It had some fun humor and running gags (I LOVED how the pizza place changes weekly.) But it was also very…Real and showed things that adolescents needed to hear.
    Like that one episode where Tino was trying too hard to get this one random kid to like him. Only to have to face the fact that this kid just *doesn’t like him* and he has no reason why. He just doesn’t like Tino. And the episode ends with Tino accepting that there WILL be people who just won’t like you and **that’s OK.**
    THAT stuck with me for life. I don’t remember an American 2000s cartoon that ever told its audience that it’s OK that you’re not liked by everyone. Because realistically, that’s not possible. As a kid, it actually made me think about that and it probably saved me from a lot of anxiety from trying to be a “people pleaser.”
    And this is just one of a few episodes that I remember. I still think it holds up despite its 2000s flavoring, so I recommend to even 2010-born kids.

    Multiple clothing changes will always be my favourite animation thing, it’s the easiest way to show a character’s personality. Having one outfit as a full design is so limiting, like ok he’s wearing black jeans so he’s a punk but what if he also loves video games so he also has a wardrobe of Pokémon shirts so that’s one of his alt outfits. Or she’s usually in a flower shirt but also likes techno music so she also has sci fi inspired jumpsuits?
    Clothes reflect personality and variety!
    And the excuse that they don’t change MC’s clothing for merch reasons makes me want to tear my teeth out!

  • @InfamousCrisCris

    I clicked so fast! This was my absolute favorite show when I was younger. As someone who's ultimate favorite series revolves around a character I don't even like that much compared to one of the others in the main group, I appreciate that The Weekenders gives episodes that focus on everyone. It's not just about Tino. There are episodes focusing on Lor, Carver and Tish too.
    I also appreciate that episodic and 10 minutes segments doesn't equate to "for children" because of the idea that children have short attention spans. Mind you, there are shows with 10 minutes segments that aren't for kids (Regular Show for one), but what The Weekenders does is tackle mature subjects in a way that resonates with every age bracket.
    There was an episode where Lor is convinced she need to look like this stick figure in a magazine to get the attention of her crush. She finds out on Sunday that he actually didn't care, appreciated her for who she was, and was concerned for her when she wasn't eating.
    There was another episode where Tish has a minor role in a film and could barely speak. However the fame from having the appearance (even if her voice was dubbed over) got to her head and she became demanding and had this raspy voice. I remember her yelling "Cream soda, now!" Of course, on Sunday, everyone forgot about it and Tish realized the fame got to her.
    I do know that other shows have tackled these exact subjects (Braceface and The Proud Family respectively) but they tackled it in a much more mature way imo. What I admire about The Weekenders is that it can get those same important beats and lessons across in a short runtime with the limitations of catering to a certain audience WITHOUT talking down to them or bashing you over the head with the lesson of the episode.
    The Weekenders was perfect. Comedic, didn't limit itself to one age bracket and focused on everyone in the main circle of friends. Other series like it should've took notes.
    Also, I have to laugh because a friend of mine made a similar joke to 10:40.

    I always go back and re watch this one. I really enjoyed Tino's mum's character, more so now then when I first saw the show. Mainly because like his mum, I raised a child on my own, and trying to make ends meet, and ensure my kid had good values was a challenge. The Weekenders for me was just more profound when I was older. 100% Tino's mum is a Queen, and she deserves a lot of credit as a single mom for most of the series.

I think this series would work well for that, we could have a similar, but new cast of characters but still get to see all the old characters. And maybe this time the pizza shop can be a tea house, since that's a little more trendy now.

    Man I loved The Weekenders as a kid! It was one of the few shows that managed to get me to drag my lazy a$$ out of bed at the buttcrack of dawn on Saturdays. I loved how it didn’t feel like it was trying to pander to kids/tweens. It didn’t try too hard to be “cool” or force-feed lame moral lessons for no reason. It felt like one of the most grounded animated shows since Doug. If you mix Doug, Hey Arnold! and added a dash of a slightly aged up Recess then you get The Weekenders. I haven’t watched it in years but I’d still recommend it if you haven’t watched it.

    6:52 - 8:43 and 10:42 - 11:07 Perfectly encapsulates my view for the series back then and now. The fact that the series aired on weekends back then, made it easy to reflect the themes of the series to real-life situations even better. Now, it feels like a nostalgic dream to watch the series once again.
    On another note, don't revive or reboot the series. It was a series based in outdoor activities of the 90s and the 2000s, a time where even cellphones weren't a thing yet. It would target those nostalgic people who had seen the original series as its primary audience. Other than that, the new generation of children who grew with different habits and norms, most of whom spent their time wasting it on their own cellphones instead of going to other outdoors activities, won't even understand the premise of the series, not to mention its long-running themes.

    A Legendary Show, at the same time this brings a lot of melancholy because I didn't exactly have this kind of tight friend group at the same age and for a long time after that. It's nostalgic in a bittersweet way, thanks for the video

    Dope show, I did a re-watch on a whim like a year ago. It has no business being so smart. I had to Google words they used in passing sometimes. And that's wild for a "kid's show" but they kept it 100 and never talked down to the viewer, so anyone can enjoy it. Thanks for dropping this gem! Later days.

    I remember watching and liking this show in the afternoon during my early high school years. I enjoyed it, but never really paid much attention to it. I rediscovered it a handful of years ago after a serious bout of nostalgia for my childhood/young adulthood, and since I recalled this show being sort of like a time capsule for the super early aughts I sought it out again. I came to really appreciate it and now think it's actually one of the better produced shows from that era. It's become a comfort show. I especially loved how strong all of the character's personalities were, and especially loved its sense of place. So many cartoons take place in fun, quirky towns, but few used them as well as this show did.

    Growing up the Weekenders was my favorite show. Well this and Moville Mysteries. And now that you reminded me that, I think I'm gonna give it a rewatch. 39 episodes it's not a lot tbh.

    I know this is came out long, LONG before Gravity Falls, but hearing about this show now, I just can’t help but get some serious Gravity Falls vibes from it, I guess because of how it’s both fast paced and also slice of life. Plus, Tino is pretty much just Dipper lol

    I never saw this show at all, but it sounds really interesting, and now I gotta check it out.
    Kinda like with Hey Arnold, which I didn't like back in high school, thinking it was generic and lame, but really enjoyed a lot as an adult. Maybe I'll like this show as well. Great review!

  • @AtHomeWithAGeek
    @AtHomeWithAGeek ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I was a college age teen headed to my 20s when this came out, but I found myself watching it from time to time. I can absolutely agree it's got a "Hey, Arnold" vibe to it. I only clicked on this video because I couldn't remember Tish's name, but I'm glad I watched this. Great memories of this show came back as a result.

    Discovered this show on a VHS tape we had of a few Disney Channel specials - Color of Friendship, that weird one with the kid who cloned himself with a bag of Cheetos or something?, and possibly some of the even stevens movie. But also, an episode or two of this. Became obsessed and when I caught reruns on TV, it was my new favorite show. What do I remember? Something about Tito being upset about an Emu Farmer and that pizza place lol. Funny, I really don’t remember much else for as much as I liked it! Glad to see you doing a video on it, a trip down nostalgia road.

    • @christopherwall2121

    I really do wish Disney would put this amazing show on it's streaming service already, but whilst I do think this show deserves much more recognition and appreciation, I don't ever want this this show rebooted and potentially ruin something that was once great. Look at code lyoko, they "rebooted" the series with code lyoko evolution and we all know how that turned out.

    I got in on The Weekenders late in its run when it was on Toon Disney, but thankfully in addition to the 4th season there were loads of reruns they would show too. It was definitely unique and entertaining, especially the 4th wall breaks from Tino, the idea of which may have been partially inspired by The Emperors New Groove and its 4th wall breaking Kuzco scenes.

    One of my favorite shows. When I was a kid I had the habit of recounting the plots of all the cartoons I watched to my mom. Most of the time she just smiled and nodded but my retelling of the jokes in the Weekenders made her laugh a lot. Those were fun times.

  • @mandysteffan2958
    @mandysteffan2958 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    When this show came out, I was in 8th grade and I absolutely loved it. I was a huge James Marsden fan (biggest Disney crush was Max from A Goofy Movie) so that was my initial pull. But the show was so entertaining and funny, and it always drove me nuts that cartoon characters always wore the same clothes so that creative touch really stood out to me. I loved that it didn't take place in school but it wasn't so niche (like Nickelodeon's Rocket Power) that I couldn't connect. It was simple and creative at the same time. It makes sense that it was largely based on personal experience. That always makes for the best best storytelling.

  • @OpoOnTheGo

    Heck yes I remember the weekenders because my mom and I loved it to pieces. I remember it being a cartoon she enjoyed watching with me. Having a single mom and diverse friend group, I resonated a lot with Tino. Seriously an 11/10 watch with exceptional, engaging storytelling and well defined, fleshed out characters with real problems to overcome. Even the reruns had us at the edge of our seats. The last show we had like that was avatar. I'd do anything to go back to that premiere lol. Regardless, happy Fringemas and thanks for the stellar content. You really tapped into an obscure synapse, and that's my favorite thing about your content. And to the fellow viewers, what show did your parents end up enjoying just as much as you? I'd love to know!

  • @danheinz9969
    @danheinz9969 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like a vast majority of the shows around this time period (or perhaps slightly after) actually handled casual diversity in the cast far better than a lot of shows do now days. That honestly is not to say that today's shows are somehow bad or of lesser quality, but in some ways I feel like the more casual attitude towards it lead to a lot more realistic characters and scenarios than a fair few modern shows that choose to go out of their way to notably diversify their cast. Some amount of diversity and representation are immensely important to me personally as well as tons of other people, but a lot of recent attempts at creating diversified casts feel... forced, odd, unrealistic, or just like the character is only there for the sake of diversity. While I recognize that there were issues back then as well that I was blind to due to being a kid/young teen, I really appreciate a lot of 90s/early 2000s shows for including such a diverse cast in such a highly realistic and casual manner. It really is a pleasant reflection of real life, which is highly diverse, and especially as a kid: You don't care who or what your friends are. There are social issues that need to be addressed, yes. But when you're a kid, your friend could have any skin color, any background, any sexuality, and you know what? We'd love them for it. Because they were our friends.

  • @sanjithechef
    @sanjithechef ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love that you made this. The voice cast was amazing. Tino (Jason Marsden) was Max from A goofy movie, Carver is Phil Lamar (Samurai Jack), Lor is Grey DeLisle (Azula from ATLAB) and Tish is Kath Soucie (Phil and Lil from the Rugrats) to mention a few. My favourite show after school as a kid lol it really shaped my sense of humour / moral compass

  • @imjust_a
    @imjust_a ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I loved this show growing up. My sisters and I regularly quote it to this day. My favorite episode is the one where Tino tries to figure out why a peer hates him, only to find out it's a misunderstanding (with the conclusion being the peer saying "Oh, well I still don't like you," and walking off.) It's a very liberating lesson to learn growing up: sometimes there'll just be people who you don't get along with, and that's okay. You don't have to be friends with everyone. You can't force a friendship.
    As much as I do want this show to come to streaming, I don't think I'd ever want to see a reboot. The show is great as-is, and I don't trust today's showrunners to do it justice (in addition to the high likelihood of studio interference ruining what made the original great.)
