My wife and I watch the Weekenders along with Recess every weekend. What I like best about the Weekenders, and what seems to be unique among both cartoons and juvenile sitcoms, is that the parents aren't treated as if they are stupid and horribly out of touch. Tino's mother is shown to be an intelligent person, and understanding of her son's predicaments. She is never without words of wisdom and never ceases to amaze her son with her tidbits of knowledge. We don't see some of the other parents very often, but even Tish's immigrant parents are treated with warmth. this unusual treatment makes the show stand above most of the others in my opinion.
