- Oh, we talkin' top 5 with this one! Finally today we are going to talk about the slice of life, mall hangout show, 6Teen. From the same people that brought us the wildly popular Total Drama Island, 6Teen seems to slightly be overshadowed by it. But let's take a look at why 6Teen is such a fun and well worth your time show that encapsulates a moment in time that is no longer a main staple of everyday society... mall culture. So what happened to 6teen? Today, we shall discuss it all.

Thanks so much for watching! Were you a fan of 6teen or Total Drama Island more? Also, Happy Canada Day! *EDIT: Truly sorry, at **8:54** I accidently used a picture of Linda Cardellini instead of Megan Fahlenbock. Both image assets were named the same thing on my computer for some reason and I didn't catch it before upload. My apologies for this and to Megan for not using her photo.*
TDI.
TDI fan
Both!
6teen I never really like TDI
Both but I was a bigger fan of 6Teen
I would definitely watch a “9Teen” reboot show.
Set on a huge university campus
@@iLikePie54457 they work/hang at the bookstore/library/work study. The community college campus is less than 10 minutes away where jude, jonesy, and nikki attend. The rest at the university.
Would have to be a continuation rather then a reboot

@@elsieabu4821 get a grip on reality plz
This show was great. Really made me think everything would change when I turned 16.. was def not the case lol.Also makes me feel so old now that malls are kinda dying.
Inflation
I know right 🤣 This show had me so hyped to be 16😭
This show definitely got me so excited to turn 16 lmao
Malls are still massively popular in Canada unless it's a really small town.
@@Reecef266 in Florida there's a mall near me and it has so many damn people here. hell when you go to the food court, on a weekend you can hardly even hear your friends speak
This series actually hits home because I was 16 when this show aired and it made being that age look so fun, but I didn’t have the friends, social skills or a job to have those same experiences 🤣
Fantastic show though.
I felt that
Neither did I except for the job. The job part sucks. I did hang out with a group of friends at the mall once and that's pretty fun. Although I hated shopping and when the girls in the group of friends went shopping I went with the other guys to the video game store.
Damn that hits
Too real.
I was almost tue same lol. I was 13 and just starting a new school when it first aired and I was just HOPING things would be like that in 3 years. They were not.....
I always loved that 6Teen was created by the same people who created the Total Drama franchise! why the fact that Jen and Jude were voiced by the same VA's as Gwen and Chris is one of the reasons why they are two of my favorite characters!!!
Jude is also Chris.
jude is in total dramarama too
Jude keeps reappearing in their shows somehow
oh that's why jude was in that baby spinoff... btw why does everything become babies?
Jen is one of my fav characters too. Even there are some minor issues I do have with her character but on the whole I do think she is cool.
6teen is one of the best shows of the early 2000s. I love the artstyle, the characters, the storytelling and overall vibe are perfect
One of the best cartoons of its time honestly
I also love that they managed to nail a joke with a gay character without it being insulting and it being genuinely funny in 2004
Same, loved it so much
Didn't have much of a story to be honest.
@@itsblitz4437 No real big overarching plot, but as far as telling everyday stories of those characters, its pretty spot on
i have a damn near empty mall near my house, i had no idea it was this widespread of a phenomenon
Oh yeah, online kicked them down and lockdowns killed them.
talk ben 10
It makes me grateful to live near MOA, the first indoor mall, and a couple other malls in the Twin Cities metro area
Bruh
@@smnbrgss The MOA is too overstimulating and busy, unless you go during the week. I wish we had smaller malls, and we do but the ones in the suburbs have way less stores and things to do
The fact that a show made almost 2 decades ago has scored 85K views on your video just 3 days after being uploaded proves the impact that it has. It’s iconic and will always be remembered. We need a sequel series of the characters as adults!
I don't even know the show 🙃
pls don’t say “almost 2 decades ago” bc the 1st episode aired literally 6 days after I was born 😭😭
They still play re runs of this show on cartoon network, tbh i think new show writers are just less talented than the people back in 2005, i have no idea why but its something i have definetley noticed
I'd be interested in seeing a continuation with the characters as adults. Like a 6teen version of Close Enough
@TheGlassesPro 8teen
@@theirishpotato6588 they set you up for that one.
@TheGlassesPro Twenty6 with an eventual re-reboot called 6T
i vaugley remember watching Close Enough with my dad when i was a kid on MTV before it the memes, & et-cetra were things.
@TheGlassesPro could be fun
6Teen was just the kind of show that only worked in the 2000's. At the very least, we can thank Total Drama's success for Cartoon Network to acquire this show as it was a nice little surprise, even if they censored the show. At least they aired the finale.
Idk? I feel like teens is teens in any era
I thought this was the coolest show growing up. I used to watch it in middle school, and I remember wanting to be 16 so I could have that much freedom lol. They seemed so grown. Now I’m 22, and they still seem older than me somehow.
Fr
If you get past the pee poop jokes and the various amounts of throw up it's a very charming and funny show also very heartwarming
genuinely though, that was the only big issue i had with the show, as i get sick really easily, & hate gross out humour.
despite that this was (and still is) a sweet, funny, and cozy show, and will always be a favourite of mine
They at least weren't as frequent as in Total Drama.
It’s so weird. I’m aware of the dying mall situation, but in my area most of the malls are thriving. It’s an interesting bubble here
Yea I live in Miami and this isn’t an issue here
me too our big malls are full of people just hanging out
I think it also helps that the characters can sometimes feel like their in their 20's rather than 16 (or 18 in that short) so it can manage to be more relatable to a wider audience of teens and young adults.
That “I’m 16 life is sweet, when you growing up so fast, you gotta make the good times last..” i never knew how true that was and i’m 20 now i just wish i would’ve had more fun instead of being trapped in my room depressed by all the bullying i went through in middle school to highschool but i feel like vicariously living through shows like that got me more and more out of my comfortable zone socially, but i really turned around i wanted to talk to people so why not? i had nothing to lose so instead of putting my head down i looked forward and pushed through, now with the help of my ADHD i could talk to people for hours 😂 but i guess my point is…I remember 16 and when i needed it the most that catchy song and these funny ass characters really brought me that little bit of escape and “friendship” i needed
if you read this far, thank you and have yourself a damn good one 👍
Edit: Thanks for all the likes!
lmao we’re lw living similar lives im also 20 n relate to everything u said .. except i don’t have adhd. i hope you’re doing much better now !!
I feel the pain there at my 16 age was stressed about ton of crap wishing i could enjoyed something
I’m 23 and this is how I feel! Down to even the adhd lol
@@jadered9514 hell yeah 💯
@@ajtriforcegamerofhyrule8538 same bro
I think when I was a kid I watched a lot more teen like shows and this was one of them and even though I don't remember much about it I still have a great time with it and I think at one point there was a similar show that was based off a beach or something I don't remember and I think that came from an online game but whatever and I hope the reboot goes through and not heavily censored it cuz honestly it's a bit more enjoyable then having barely any episodes that are really memorable
The show he mentioned called stoked was the beach one
@@solikedatbety I lived by the beach my whole life so this and Stoked were just super awesome shows
Stoked! I remember that would come on every summer! Along with total drama island....good times
Have you ever heard of punctuation?
@@FrenkTheJoy nobody cares, if you can read it and understand it then shush
OMG!! I've been *waiting* for this one! I remember watching this on Cartoon Network here in the U.S.! During the original run! When I found the same company went on to create Total Drama Island (and it's forthcoming seasons) and Stoked.
I took to 6teen way better then total drama island probably cause was inspired by survivor and I didn’t really take to it as a show I do really like the original company that made all but the last season of the show cause they also made another show I really liked as a child called Rupert
I like how Stoked is, pretty much, 6teen, except it takes place at a beach. :)
I remember watching it on Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, and Disney Channel, it was always weird how it would just disappear from one channel then a year or more later end up on a new channel.
@@kevin10001 honestly total drama is 10x better then survivor in everyway
@@matthewrickard5050hard truth
As a Canadian kid this show brings beyond nostalgia and has one of the strongest and most memorable show intros of all time no debate 😤
6teen is both a great show, and a criminally underated show. I started watching the show during COVID. And since then, I think that the show was progressively ahead of it's time.
As an adult now, I deeply resonate with the characters. My favorite character is probably Jen. I truly do wish 6teen had the same fan base as Total Drama. But it's nice to know that other people haven't forgotten this show. I actually kind of remembering seeing this back on CN when they first aired Total Drama Island.
I hope one day a reboot/revival of 6teen will Grace our screens once again. Im still waiting for that new season of Total drama to come out though LOL 😂
One of the best Canadian cartoons of all time! I don’t know how I would react if they gave it a reboot, but this show will always have a place in my heart 🙏🏾
God, that "Teleloon, it's unreal." Hit me real in the nostalgia and made me long for a time when I thought everything was right in this world. I loved this show when I was younger.
I loved 6Teen and made me excited to be that age. The reality wasn't the same but it was still a great show and I watched it recently for nostalgia. You should take about the movie they did, the one with the zombies. I also liked that Nikki wasn't a stereotypical Asian for the time.
this show had such a choke hold on me when i was younger. i never missed an episode. i got my older siblings hooked on it. the theme song still plays in my head constantly. this show made me who i am today and gave me such high expectations for 16.
Always loved this show. One thing that was cool about this show. It taking place in Canada was actually story relevant cause the biggest mall in the world is in Canada and that's where the show takes place. The biggest mall in the world.
This, stoked, and TDI are all series and shows I’ll always remember and cherish. So yes I remember 6teen 💕
Did anybody watch this in elementary school and hoped HS was gonna be like that? And got disappointed that malls aren't really that great of a hangout place? Lmao
Total Drama, 6teen, and Stoked deserve lots of recognition as well as plenty of merchandise to create synergy!
I don't remember a lot of the show honestly (CN started airing it around the time I was starting to watch less TV), but what little I do I really appreciate. It's cool.
I also blame shows like this, Bratz, and Totally Spies for my fascination with malls. I just want to hang out in one so bad like an early-mid 00's mall rat.
Me too man me too
i started rewatching this a few months ago, and i can’t believe how much i love it, i know a lot of that love comes from nostalgia but as unbiased as i can be, i genuinely think it is a good show that despite being rather dated, holds up well.
as a canadian kid growing up watching tv i can remember that this show was the first time i saw anyone /actually/ talk about having periods, and the first time i’d ever see i’d ever seen a lesbian character in anything. And as a queer period-having human, it was really wonderful actually seeing that. 💖🌻
thankyou for talking about the this show! i find that it’s quite under rated, especially, as you said, due to the banned episodes and that a /proper/ reboot would be awesome! 🖖🏻🦋💕
As a Canadian, thank you!! This show was my favorite, although I wasn't technically allowed to watch because I was a bit too young at the time. I learned a lot from it though! I still watch the halloween special every year. Canadian kids TV was truly something else, and I'm grateful for it.
In high school I had a lot of anxiety but I’d just binge watch 6teen on TH-cam and it would all feel better! Love this show!
I really love 6teen! i remember watching it all the time when i was younger and it still sticks with me today. Especially as a Canadian Millennial, this show really hit home for me in a lot of ways. Id really love to see an adult revival of this show, seeing how theyve grown as people and such.
I always loved this art style. I was in my early 20s when this aired but I still liked it. I appreciate cartoons even more as an adult. I didn't even know that it had banned episodes, I-m gonna look it up and watch the whole thing. Thank you for reminding me of this one
I was OBSESSED with this show. It was on TH-cam awhile back. Watched every episode again like last year. And it was still really good.
This show made me want to be 16 😂 and when I got there we’ll let’s just say it wasn’t that great, what I can say is the show is accurate to a lot of people I’ve met or seen in school. Even now a year after graduating I see people like this I kinda miss shows like this you don’t get many especially now.
I remember being hyped to be 16 cause Disney age and all and blink I was suddenly 18. Highschool really is nowhere as memorable as TV made it to be🤣
Exactly... I thought 16 was a milestone... An age that you will be very beautiful and cool, have money, less classes or assignments, have cool friends and everything will be perfect....
Oh the horror when I reach that age
@@lollybowser that’s what I said I think I had a mental breakdown at some point because I realize being a teen sucked not to mention schools and all that mess
@@onuhrita5009 I know how you feel I was over here thinking I would be driving and just the most alpha guy there was and long and behold that was not the case.
@@spadesofpaintstudios1719 Comforting to see I wasn't the only one
God I love love LOVE this channel so much! Constantly being reminded of tons of shows I LOVED as a kid/teenage and would have never remembered without this channel and amaxing person behind it. Much love!
Man, I wish I would've watched this more as a kid, however i was pretty young at that time still, around 13 when it ended, so that was the biggest reason. It seems like a show I would enjoy now though, I'll have to give this one a watch forsure. Thanks for another grand video Jordan, you rock dude
I loved this show! I honestly would watch this show when I was a kid and hoped being 16 would be like this haha. I also loved hanging out at the mall with my friends when I was a teen too, it was even cooler when I started working at the mall too! Then again in Michigan there isn’t much to do except hang out at the mall and eat food haha
6teen was my favorite CN cartoon after Total Drama and it stuck with me for so long. The crew. The theme. The mall. The side characters. All of it. Love the show to death and so glad to see it covered.
A lot of episodes are on TH-cam
Now this is unlocking core memories. I friggin loved this show when I was a tween. Awesome vid my guy!!🙌🏾👏🏾✨
This show made me dream as a child, i remember clearly my parents saying how ridiculous and how impossible it was for them to only be 16 but damn, i've watched this show religiously back in the days and still listen to the banging theme with joy and nostalgia to this very day!! I'd definitely love to see this get a revival as long as there are no strings attached it stays just a fun little show with crazy antics
i remember being like nine or ten years old & being sent into a mental breakdown about aging out of friendships because of 6teen's series finale lmao
Hopefully the total drama reboot does well so they’ll consider making an 8teen revival on hbo max. This show has so much potential to be the next big adult cartoon akin to Rick & Morty, Family Guy, etc. it’s a really dope show plus has that nostalgia factor to it.
Yeah this song has been stuck in my head for years pops in my head randomly from time to time. And was actually waiting for you to cover this good job man and thanks
The theme song is permanently stuck in my brain. I grew up watching 6teen.
It’s funny, because mall culture is still well alive in my part of Canada. Where I live is below freezing winter and extreme weather most of the year so malls are quite necessary places.
Though I’m an adult now, I see lots of mall goth and generally mall rat teens hanging out after school.
Despite malls becoming obsolete, where I live they still work and is my favorite place to hang out with my brother. And we both loved 6Teen as kids. Teletoon in French was our favorite TV channel.
Anyone remembers the Zimmer Twins?
Dude this is one of my favorite TV Shows of all time. I watch these episodes on TH-cam - I think the channel is called Retro recap. I have good memories with this show and I loved the representations in the show. A Mexican Canadian, Chinese Canadian, African Canadian and Jewish Canadian. Sure some jokes didn't age well, but I don't mind because as the show was not made for this time as it worked for its time anyways Jude was my favourite character and Ron the Rent-a-Cop was my favourite supporting character 🥰🥰🥰🥰...Love Love Love
That channel is a blessing for rearing the entire series. It also introduced me to other shows too .
Not only do I remember this show, I watch it regularly when I have a bad day. This show is F.R.I.E.N.D.S for teenagers that's exactly what it is. It's a bunch of friends getting into slice of life bullshit that most young adults deal with not just teens and I'm still convinced that if allowed they'd have made them 20 if 16 wasn't a catchier title. Jude and Star (the hippie chic) are like two sides of my personality. I love this show so much I have the entire first episode Take This Job And Stick It memorized line by line. I also would like to say this show was great for my bi awakening. Jude, Wyatt, Nicki, and Jen were all characters I had a crush on as a kid.
I loved this show. The main cast were all likable and most of the supporting cast were memorable and great.
Oh boy, I've been waiting for this series since I saw you started this series. Love your content.
Thank you for covering this. It was a great blast from the past
One of the most underrated cartoon network show
I would love them to continue it on hbo max like they've been killing it on the animation side
I’m 25 and I just discovered this show. Can’t believe I’ve never seen it before. I’m halfway through binging the whole thing! It’s actually one of my favourite shows now.
I literally just watched this show about 2 weeks ago. I actually love this show!
I have been rewatch 6teen
Remember it? I still watch it! They've got their own TH-cam channel and I've been going for broke since 2018.
A year ago during quarantine, I began watching 6teen for the first time on this TH-cam channel called “Retro Rerun”, and I’ve fallen in love with the show ever since ❤️📺
Man. The last line of the theme song hits real different now.
Jordan at this rate they should hire you as an advocate for certain shows and how they could be revived on Adult networks. You fully understand both the economic and overall benefit of the revivals that and I agree about hot topic
I really love this show. I come back to watch it time to time. This show was so different and I thought by the time I was 6teen I would have a friend group like this and hangout in the mall. Sometimes I think I watch the banned episodes when it was on Cartoon Network. Also if you want to watch you can watch on TH-cam on retro replay, Tubi, some episodes stream on Pluto tv also.
The theme song has been stuck in my head for over 10 years now
I love how each every episode was only in a mall but in different locations and it had a few scenes that weren't in the mall. They were creative for each episode.
I’m so glad you covered this show and stamped it a top 5 show for you. It’s been cemented in that spot for me too for years and I have yet to find anyone to take a chance on it in adulthood that didn’t grow up with it. It’s fantastic and has so many relatable episodes, even still to this day.
Jonesy will forever remain a legend.
Facts my man jonesy is and forever will be the goat
Yes Jordan this is one of the best ones yet love this series keep it up
I’m 22, I grew up watching this show and is still one of my comfort shows & I still re watch it now.
omg i was so excited to watch this show every day when i was a kid. i was so sad when they stopped showing it!!
As a Canadian, I remember watched a lot of reruns of this show growing up, including a lot of the American banned episodes. It's a pretty fun series like the early Total Drama stuff.
Having said that, I don't think that a 6Teen reboot would work very well as is. Unlike something like Total Drama where the idea is pretty timeless, the concept of 6Teen centres around the North American mall and paints it as a fun hangout spot, and those, like you mentioned, are dying out. So if they targeted a series like that at modern teenagers, I doubt they would be able to connect with it nearly as much on a fundamental level. The only way I can see it work is if they aged up the characters to be at least in their mid 20s and tackled things like the changing social landscape where it's targeted at an audience that grew up with that show. The Galra Mall is based on the West Ed, which is still around, albeit lacking some of the amenities it did even back in the 2010s, so there could be plenty of stories based around that.
I didn’t grow up watching this show when it came out, only later. I absolutely LOVE it.
Okay wait I totally forgot the name of this show but I remembered these characters of 6teen! I’m glad I grew up with some of these shows instead of what’s out now. Kinda forgot about Total Drama for a while though tbh. Great video! ✌🏻
I remember playing the 6teen games, one was a generic stacking blocks game
I had no idea mall closers was a big thing. There is only one I know of near me and I love going there. Mostly because it's the only place I can find niche things I'm into. It's not very big compared to other malls but it's always a good time when I go out with friends.
In literally rewatching this show right now and I live it so much! The creator made some of the best shows that everyone loves today
you literally waken a memory I didn't know I had before, thanks LOL
Personally I think it would be cool if the main 6 teens were to be a part of the contestants of the new Total Drama season, or at least bring back our boy Jude since he was already introduced back in Total Dramarama
My younger cousins got me into this show back when it first aired on CN and I’ve been watching sporadically ever since 😅 I watch it on Tubi
I’ve rewatched this show too many times this and Stoked will forever be a comfort show I remember watching them as a 16 year old. The intros to these two shows are amazing
Noticed it in passing, don’t know if I ever watched a full episode, but enjoyed your recap all the same
this show needs a sequel series/reboot called 8teen
I remember this show and a surfer show that gave me very similar vibes, I really enjoyed them as a kid but can hardly remember much about them for the life of me. It would be nice for a lot of shows to appear on modern streaming services.
A good example on my personal end is another slice of life show from my childhood "Kirby Right Back at Ya". Nintendo strikes it off TH-cam, but doesn't stream it anywhere or do have discs or anything to which I can find (except a cite probably illegally doing it that my phone literally had to tell me "this cite is sus as hell man, get out of here before you get hacked!" after I got a hentai ad). It's basically a lost show they are trying to kill off for no real reason.
The surfer show you talking about is it stoked?
@@Kasperwithak58 might be. Sounds familiar when you say the name.
@@hunterotte9555 it is in fact stoked
One of my favorites!!! I’m doing a rewatch of the show. I loved this one growing up and now it makes me long to go to the mall. Nostalgic for sure.
The animation is so beautiful
Japan and Canada are more laid back with TV shows containing, what the puritans in the US consider 'sinful'. Several episodes of Sailor Moon were never aired or heavily edited when released in the US for similar reasons. Good thing the Sistine Chapel is in Italy, or it would be censored too.
Wait….remember stoked?
I binged this show as a kid and eventually forgetting it with time I kept having dreams of this show and specifically the zombie episode just to find out years later it was this gen of a show
I love your videos so Jordan Fringe keep up the good work man
I still watch 6teen!!❤️❤️
DUUUUUDE
JUUDDDE
Ive been waiting for this!!!
Most malls around my state have shut down. We still have the one I grew up going to though and occasionally, my friends and I go and hang out there. Having a Dave and Busters installed in it sure helps generate people there. Anyway, I have always loved 6Teen and now that I have learned there are other episodes out there- I’m on the hunt to watch them all. Hope I can find them. Good video!
This was my show as a kid n a young teen
Who doesn't remember 6teen!?!
Oh, my dude. It was my favourite show and Jude will always be one of my favourite characters. Good vid, dude!
The mall in my hometown is dead, but the mall in my new city is surprisingly very popular.
Also, this show was one of my favorite shows when I was like 13. Super nostalgic for me
I hate when they used 6teen to talk about politics
I loved this show when it was airing on cartoon network in my childhood, last month I started watching an episode every morning with my breakfast thanks to finding the whole show uploaded to youtube, felt like a kid again having my morning cartoons! Its such a fun show I would love to see a reboot even if its short. This video perfectly explained how I feel about the show in a way I never would've been able to articulate, thanks!
High key been waiting for this
Great video. Really makes me interested in hearing your take on Stoked
