The Weekenders	comment	An animated series from Disney, aired from 2000-2004 as part of the One Saturday Morning block on ABC, the One Too block on UPN and Toon Disney; created by Doug Langdale (previously of Universal's Earthworm Jim adaptation, Sony's Project G.e.e.K.e.R. and later Disney series Dave the Barbarian), and ran for four seasons. It followed the lives of four friends: Deadpan Snarker Tino Tonitini, Tomboy Lor MacQuarrie, not so cool Carver Descartes and The Smart Girl Petratishkovna "Tish" Katsufrakis. Oddly enough, despite having four school-age children in the main roles, the show hardly (if ever) touches on aspects of school life, since stories nearly always begin on Friday afternoon and end on Sunday evening.Staying away from broad and cartoonish plots (Langdale's specialty), the show takes a more subtle route, with much of the humor deriving from its many one-liners (and Tino's screams, of course).Noted for its surprisingly good writing, averting the Limited Wardrobe (unusual for an animated show) and for often breaking the fourth wall; the audience is addressed directly by (usually) Tino, as a Narrator of sorts, with other characters also taking on this role or even lampshading it on occasion. Also has quite a set of Once an Episode recurring gags, such as the seemingly indecisive pizza place (never having the same name or theme twice), Tino's Mom serving highly questionable food, and of course "Later Days!" One other reason this show stands out is the aversion of the Adults Are Useless trope - showing that adults can be useful and still have a good show.The full series was released on DVD as a Disney Movie Club exclusive in February 2013.

The Weekenders / int_2a7e7af1	comment	Limited Wardrobe: Amazingly, this is averted. Notable for a Western Animation cartoon. Throughout an episode, the characters' clothes change after each day begins, similar to Real Life. They avoid Unlimited Wardrobe, because they each have the same four or five outfits that they continue to wear throughout the show's run. Despite having a full wardrobe of different clothes for each character, each had their own color scheme. Tish usually wore purple, Carver wore yellow or green, Lor usually wore grey or red, and Tino wore blue. Truth in Television, as lots of people have a favorite color that they genuinely wear a lot. The trope is played straight, however, with the supporting and minor characters (save for Tino's mom), who are always seen in the same outfits.

The Weekenders / int_9dab0a6e	comment	Continuity Nod: There are quite a few mentions of Chum Bukkit song "suffused elephant quaff winces exasperating" throughout the series. The name came from the season 1 episode "Band" when Carver tried to write a message to the band and, because of his bad handwriting, that's what they thought it said. Overall, the show was always brilliant at this. Many throwbacks to in-jokes, events and even character traits built up over the course of the seasons are subdued enough to slip by viewers without an eye out for them.

Tish also shows signs of ambiguous aromanticism or asexuality, being the only one of the group never to develop a crush in the show, even having an episode devoted to her failed attempts to 'force' herself to fall in love, with the Aesop being that it isn't a bad thing not to have romantic feelings, even at the 'right age'.

The Weekenders / int_f9f2c33	type	Running Gag
The Weekenders / int_f9f2c33	comment	Running Gag: Many. The indecisive pizza place that changes its name and gimmick in every episode. Carver's terrible penmanship. Tish's mom's broken English. Tino's mom's cooking. The exact number of Lor's sibling ("I can never count them all! They're always moving around!"). The "Foods of the World" exhibit at the Anthropology Museum, and the deadpan server's attempts at delivering cheery taglines in a monotone voice ("Couscous: the food so nice, they named it twice"; "Feta: the cheese that tastes betta"). The coach answering his door in his robe or towel in front of the gang, because he thought the girl scouts or salespeople are bothering him again. In 4.05, "did you get hit in the head with a dodge ball again?" to Tino's affectedness. Tino's mom always knowing her son or her friends' problems, before Tino could even finish his sentence.
