Les weekenders

This is a great Disney Cartoon that follows the tale of four pre-teen friends during the weekend:

Tino - The protagonist who pulls some "Malcolm In The Middle" style narrartion and confides in his mom about troubles in paradise.

Carver - The other male in the group, a black boy with tons of style and somewhat of a big head (egotistical I mean).

Lor - The tomboy who loves to be the boss but can get totally giddy at times, and has about 10 brothers.

Tish - The german import genius girl who is obsessed with taking notes and learning, yet isn't always the smartest as she lives in a dreamworld of some sort.

While the show isn't necessairly groundbreaking, the acting is remarkable, the characters are lovable, and the plot lines are downright entertaining.

It has been amusing reading people comments on this show. I found them to be quite varied and critical, which i honestly didn't expect.

I love this show. However, i am slightly biased, as the only reason i watched it is because of Jason Marsden a.k.a Tino Tonitini. Now that i have watched it i can say that i would watch it even without Jason, without lying. Sometimes it can be a bit sickly sweet, but i think this is balanced out beautifully by the jokes and the characters' undesirable traits. Yes, Tino, Carver, Tish and Lor do seem to be too smart alec(y) and knowledgeable to be 12, yet my 11 yr old brother loves the show, and often laughs at jokes that i would never have thought he'd get. I think sometimes us older people don't remember what it's like to be a kid, and what we found amusing. It's okay to look back and say something is trite and conceited. But as a kid... do you really care? Who were the audiences of 'Full House' do you think? I believe "The Weekenders" is good for kids because it does have all those 'moral' little stories. P.S...i love Tino's ending word at the end of each episode. It's often where his funniest jokes are. And also... can IMDb change "Tino Tontini" to "Tino Tonitini" please???

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

Wow, I love this cartoon. OK, so maybe it's not working up to its fullest potential, or getting the credit it deserves, but I must say it is a very well done new series. The humor is very realistic, sarcastic and easy to understand. There are a lot of jokes that blow right over the heads of small children, and the older kids/ adults watching can understand and laugh. All in all, my only complaint is that I don't feel like getting up anymore on Saturdays to watch TV...a sign that I am (unfortunately) growing up...

"The Weekenders" is a very good show. I first started watching it when it began back on Disney's One Saturday Morning. It's funny, realistic, and I also like the fact that the main characters change their close each day. The characters are: Tino the narrator, Lor the tomboy, Carver the athlete, and Tish the genius/artistic one. My favorite characters are Tino and Lor. My other favorite characters are: Lor's brothers, the really tall girl (I can't remember her name), and Tino's mom (she gives good advice).

My favorite episode is Home@work (that was hysterical when Tish and Carver were choosing "temporary friends"). Weekenders is a really good show(10/10 stars) and I still watch on Toon Disney.
