The Weekenders (2000–2004)
still going strong
11 February 2001
I was the first to write a comment for this show about a year ago when it premiered. I liked it, but I didn't think it was doing as good as it could have been, and ABC could have doing more to help it. But now that it's made it through it's first season (although I'm not sure when One Saturday Morning begins and ends its show's seasons), I've boosted my likeness for it. ABC has been putting some weird shows on (HOUSE OF MOUSE), bad shows (the SABRINA cartoon), and some old ones (DOUG and WINNIE THE POOH), but WEEKENDERS is one of the few that highlights the line-up. PEPPER ANN kind of faded off the Saturday Morning schedule, MICKEY MOUSE WORKS sorta fell into the bizarre and slightly dumb HOUSE OF MOUSE, and reruns of RECESS and TEACHER'S PET have taken over. There's been only one new episode of RECESS within the past few months, and WEEKENDERS just recently began a run of new episodes. The new LLOYD IN SPACE is pretty inventive and interesting, and BUZZ LIGHTYEAR is still the little dose of action that the ABC cartoons need.

Overall, WEEKENDERS, RECESS, LLOYD IN SPACE, TEACHER'S PET, BUZZ LIGHTYEAR, and whichever show Mickey Mouse is running at are the key ingredients.

But back to the main subject. Tino and Carver are some of the best cartoon characters I've ever seen, and the (I think) fictional town of Bahia Bay, California is the most beautiful CITY in a cartoon I've ever seen. I can totally relate to Tino; he's goofy, spastic, funny, imaginative, and still just as average as any kid in America.
