But other nextworks has been off. CatDog is one of the examples.It's hard to write a negative comment without bashing the show, but in truth, Weekenders is pure garbage. It revolves around A group who with an over active Brain. The catch though is anything he thinks up comes bad. It may sound good on paper, but after watching it, you'll realize how far from good this show is.The Pizza Guy is an extremely dumb character. He's very 1-dimensional, there's really not much to him. He's hyper-active, end of story. Though many feel all the character are a rip off of the South Park, I think just the contrary. Mechazawa from cromartie High-School is an interesting character, and he's able to make me laugh. Tino fail to do either of the two.The cast for the show isn't any better. Like Tino's Mom they suffer from lack of character. They only stick to one characteristic and thats it. The only redeeming quality is the fact that the show can cause you to smirk. Whether it's that the scene may actually be funny, or you may just smirk because how stupid it is.Thje Weekenders is a very crappy show from Disney. Though it does seem to love some fans, it should really be left to the kids.

ParrotTalkBack Disney has a lot of bad shows on the air, especially now, but this is a breath of fresh air. Along with Doug, Recess, and Pepper Ann, The Weekenders makes up the handful of watchable kids' shows on TV today. It follows a group of friends through their weekend adventures. The show's creators skip over tired school theatrics. Instead, these kids have good, wholesome fun (as some moms would say). They're not perfect children, but realistic! They sometimes learn hard lessons but usually just enjoy eachother's quirky company. Disney is smart to keep these just as they are and not give in to gimmicks. These kids are funny and say some things that only adults would probably understand, something that also made hits like The Simpsons watchable by people of all ages. Most importantly, the different kids are actually all different, with interesting families and varied tastes - three-dimensional! I watch it whenever it's on!

mikec-19 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.

Loz8 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???
