Les weekenders

The Weekenders is pretty much about 4 best friends living for the weekend. Doug Langdale is a genius for creating this great cartoon for Disney. It is simply the best Disney cartoon series has came out with in a long time. It's a shame that Disney discontinued it late in 2001. They didn't even have a chance to make merchandise for this show.

At first, I thought this was an awful cartoon when I saw it in 2000. I was about 15 or 16 at the time and I just thought it was really lame. A couple of years later, I watched it again. I didn't know it at the time, but ABC was going to pull the show off their lineup of shows. I would of never seen this show again if I never got satellite. I did get satellite and I found the channel it was on.

This is probably the most realistic cartoon of all time, in my opinion. The episodes deal with some things that kids can relate to. Even though I wasn't really a kid after I watched it, I thought it was a funny cartoon. I sort of related to some of the things that were on the episodes when I was a kid.

Well, it's really too bad that this cartoon didn't make it that far. They never even made that much off this cartoon. Oh well, I guess kids these days want to watch stupid mindless cartoons like Yu-Gi-Oh. I remember it beat Pokemon in the ratings at one point. Anyway, this cartoon is possibly the best cartoon of all time. For those who want to compare this to Recess, you can't really compare them together. Yes, there may be some similarities, but the Weekenders is the better cartoon.

I absolutely love the show. What makes is so great is that it isn't as stereotyping as 'Recess' and it teaches good morals which kids and teenagers can relate to.

I cannot name one bad thing about this show. The animation is great, the plot line is good, and the voice overs are terrific!Special attention goes out to Jason Marsden and Phil Lamarr for their excellent performances of 'Tino' and 'Carver'.

I'm so happy to have discovered such a delightful little show. The characters are all very likeable (especially Tish!!), the scenario's are easy to follow, and it's very original. More shows should take hints from this one on how to be great programming. I hope to see more from this series, maybe a revival, or a movie (whether it's straight-to-video or nationwide at a theater). Seek this series on tv, it's certainly worth it.

This is, in my opinion, the best cartoon show on the air today. As you watch the show you really feel for the characters, all of which are creative and fun. Watching their antics is a real pleasure. All of the characters are different and have unique personalities. Tino, Tish, Carver, and Lor are average kids who deal with common issues such as popularity and support for other friends' interests. The plots are relative to real kids and their situations. This is especially true with the show's view on "the cool kids". Though all the other kids desperately want to be among them, the cool kids really aren't that cool. This moral, along with others, makes the show morally educational while remaining fun and refraining from being preachy. I think this makes it superior to its main competitor Recess, whose moral lessons are mediocre at best.

5 out of 5

For a kid's cartoon this is a total spin. It is not a half-hour of slapstick and spit jokes, instead it is a group of friends who live for the weekend. This has replaced the first episode of Pokemon (8:30AM slot) for me (well, the first episode of Pokemon is always a rerun anyways).

I am 22 years old and looking back at my youth I can see everything I missed by growing up. If I had a group of friends like Lor, Carver, Tish and Tino I would of been the luckiest kid on earth.

They eat Chili-Cheese fries, go to museums and play video games. What else to say? It teaches values and has fun with it. I love this show and I think it deserves a 10/10 for the effort. I pray for syndication!

If you haven't seen the show yet, take the chance and actually watch it. Don't watch it because I said so, watch it because it is youth at its best. Maybe you just have to be a 'grown-up' to truely appreciate it?
