I remember watching Weekenders on Saturday mornings when I younger, and I loved it. I'm 15 now and if anything I appreciate it more. its defiantly the best Disney cartoon there is, because its based for pre-teens whilst appealing to those younger and older. The plots and scripts are brilliant, they have morals but don't bore you and have brilliant comic timing and references, and it has a fantastic theme tune!! I love the characters Cos although they're designed around stereotypical ideas of 12 year olds, they also have their own original personalities.
The narrator, Tino is the main character, the down-to-earth and easy-going one that keeps the group together (with the help of his mum, who's possibly the coolest mum ever, if a weird cook) and yet tends to say and do kooky things. He can be a bit sensitive (and likes lame comic books), but he stays true to himself which what makes him so cool. That and his brilliant sarcasm. He has sharp comedy and always says the right things for the situation. He's hilarious, defiantly the funniest character.
Lor is the typical tomboy; sporty, not that smart, has loads of brothers, doesn't 'do' girlie. But she's probably my favourite character Cos she really breaks the cliché with her cute randomness and insecurity, the fact that she mucks things up but isn't completely clueless. Well, maybe just a little.
Carver is the 'cool' one. He has a small attention span when it isn't about himself, fashion, or food. But at the end of the day he is a nice guy and always sticks with his mates. He's the middle child, he loves 'Teen Canon' (hit teenage TV drama), '3 Nitwits' movies and shoes. He has a big thing about shoes. Yeah, see he's weird really.
And finally we have Tish. She's probably the most stereotypical, being the 'smart' one. She loves Shakespeare and does math equations in her head. She's an artist, a vegetarian and, like Tino, a single child . Her parents are from... somewhere in Europe and speak very bad English and fill their house and yard with weird ornaments. But really Tish is quite normal, and loves arcade games and pizza and generally having fun with her friends. Even if she does wear clogs.
I love Weekenders and everything its represents; youth, friendship, having fun, living for the weekend. I'd love to be like them. Living in sunny California by the beach with their mall and their arcade centre (the gamiest place on earth!) and their pizza place where the theme changes every week. I also like that they wear different outfits, rather than wearing the same clothes every episode. It just makes it seem so much more realistic, more believable. I wish they'd bring weekenders back to Saturday morning British TV, we can only watch it on Disney channel, and not a lot of people have it, especially people my age. I love Weekenders, its totally underrated. Later days!
