While most kids think their own problems are the end of the world, there's one girl whose problems really are the end of the world. My Life as a Teenage Robot is the story of Jenny, a super-powered robot with a super-sensitive teenage heart. Her primary function is to protect the planet from certain disaster, but, like all teenagers, she has her own ideas about how she would like to live. Defending the Earth has become a mundane chore, and she would rather do more exciting things like go to high school and be allowed to drive the family car. My Life as a Teenage Robot, a spin-off from Nickelodeon's hit Oh Yeah! Cartoons (under the name My Neighbor Has A Teenage Robot), was created by Rob Renzetti and is executive produced by Renzetti and Fred Seibert. This show is the third of three spinoffs of Oh Yeah! Cartoons, the others being ChalkZone and Fairly OddParents.
Characters:
Global Robotic Response Unit XJ9, aka Jenny Wakeman - XJ9 is just like any other robot designed to defend the planet. She's powerful, confident, clever, brave...oh yeah, and she's gotta be home by 9! Jenny, as XJ9 likes to be called, is spunky, dramatic and prone to major mood swings (sound familiar?). She's also obsessed with pop stars, teen magazines and fitting in with the cool kids. Just like a regular teenager, right? Well, yeah...if regular teenagers were 6 feet tall and made of metal! XJ9's creator (a.k.a. mom) is constantly reminding her of her planetary responsibilities, but Jenny's tired of saving the world and just wants to hang out with her friends. What's a teenage robot to do?
Bradley "Brad" Carbunkle - Brad is the boy next door. He's Jenny's closest neighbor and her best friend. Brad's not really interested in the stuff his friends at school are into, and wishes he were more like Jenny. He loves a good adventure and he's dying for a chance to explore the world outside high school. To Jenny, Brad's the reference point to all things "teenaged." He's the gatekeeper of "cool." Only Brad gets bored talking about all that lame teenager stuff and jumps at every chance to get in on Jenny's universe-saving superhero action. Guess the grass really IS greener on the other side of the fence...
Tucker "Tuck" Carbunkle - Unlike his older brother Brad, Tuck is suspicious of the unknown and likes to be surrounded by familiar things and faces. He has a whole assortment of hidden fears and anxieties (let's just say he's not a fan of ferris wheels!) At first, Tuck was terrified of Jenny too, but after an unplanned tag-along on a meteor-blasting mission he's become her biggest fan. Well, next to Brad. Despite his fears, Tuck insists on going along on Jenny and Brad's adventures. Though being the typical trouble-making little brother he is, he usually ends up doing more damage than good.
Mrs. Norene "Nora" Wakeman - Mrs. Wakeman had been struggling for years to rid the world of evil through the use of her inventions. And then, in a moment of brilliance, she created: XJ9 (a.k.a. Jenny). More mad scientist than understanding mom, Mrs. Wakeman can teach Jenny to battle almost anything that comes her way, but she's not so hot at talking about teenage stuff like clothes and boys. Mrs. Wakeman just doesn't get why Jenny would rather go to the fair than defend the Earth. But isn't having a mom who doesn't understand you, like, Rule #1 for being a teenager?
Brittany and Tiffany Crust - Brit and Tiff sit securely on the top of the social hierarchy at school. Brit is the master of the putdown, and Tiff can intimidate anyone in school. All the world domination-plotting super-villians on the planet don't even come close to wielding the power these two cliqueish cousins hold in their hands, and no one is more aware of that than Jenny. But Jenny's arrival on the scene throws this tyranical twosome for a loop. Her physical power makes Tiff's intimidation impossible, and the curiosity she generates threatens Brit's center-of-attention status. Suddenly, Jenny is Brit and Tiff's public enemy number one! Unfortunately, the one thing Jenny's superpowers can't stop is her own desire to be popular!
Sheldon Lee - Even though he knows he's pretty low down on the totem-poll of popularity, Sheldon is satisfied as a budding engineer and a comic book fan. And if that makes him a geek, so be it! He's quite content to spend his time perfecting mechanical projects and pouring over comics. Until he meets Jenny, that is. Jenny's the perfect combination of superhero and suped-up machine, and Sheldon falls for her-fast! He's constantly giving her gizmos and gadgets as gifts, but they never seem to do the trick. Alas, unfortunately for Sheldon, Jenny's fine with being his friend, but the thought of dating him hurts her brainwaves.less «

• This show is DEAD!

  Hate to break it to you, but it's true.  Given the fact that the only new episodes are going to be on Nicktoons Network, it's clear that this show has been slaughtered by the Nick bigwigs. Maybe if the writers developed the concept a little more like Danny Phantom did, it could've succeeded.

  Why do they refuse to bring out nicktoons like this on Season DVD. I'd love to see My Life as a Teenage Robot along with Rocket Power, Danny Phantom, Chalkzone and some others on Season DVD. I'd also like to see all the movies they brought out for these cartoons on DVD as well, the only cartoon I see that I mentioned that has at least three movies is Rocket Power and one is out on DVD and I have it. (one day later) My bad, Danny Phantom is on Season DVD's (Season's 1 & 2). I've never seen them in stores like Walmart, I've only seen them on Amazon.com. less «

  8.5 Great

  Another great show Nickelodean use to have. hide « show »

  Mah Life as a Teenage Robot follows the story as Dr. Wakemen invents a robot titled xj9. But xj9 finds the name crap, so he calls herself Jenny whenever he meets real life people. And meets characters like Tucker, Brad, Sheldon, Don, and more. She was also built to save the world by danger. I can't believe Nickelodean stopped production for this show, even though they still air this show late at night, they ended a great tv program. Nickelodean should stop airing new shows on Nicktoons. Nicktoons is only for old shows, not new, thats why you have nick. Overall this show is fun to watch, interesting, and for everyone to watch. Except for Michael Blake.

  In a world according to a teenage robot crime-fighting girl... hide « show »

  This show is about a teenage robot crime-fighting girl X-J9 aka Jenny as she goes to a human populated high school while trying to fit in just like every other teen and lives with her creator and mother Dr. Wakeman. But she also is built to fight crime from aliens to villains to save the world. She befriended her classmates Brad and Sheldon as well as Brad's younger brother Tuck. Jenny also has fashion-obsessed snobby bullies of her own, the Crust Cousins.
  
  What I find this show very intriguing is the retro art style of the animation and the story of each episode. It's a great show for teens to relate like problems with your parents or dealing with some dating situations. It's a shame the show is over, but the re-runs are worth watching over and over.

  Another Great Nickelodeon show. hide « show »

  I knew about this series ever since, well when it aired. And I liked it and it became one of my favorites. A robot tennager was one thing I want to see on televison. At first, I wasn't pleased that the teenage-like robot had to remain in her room even when she's off-duty. Then I liked it later on when she is able to go out into the world. And I like her robot weapons and arsenals. Also, I liked the hilarious moments throught the series. It was cool back during it's first season. And I liked the second season as well. Although I haven't watched the third season, probably it went off-air. I still watch it at some times. It's still good today.

  A great show about a robot girl named Jenny hide « show »

  My Life as a Teenage Robot is like 21st century take on Astroboy. It's funny and the old fashioned 1930s style is pretty cool. XJ9 or Jenny Wakeman is a powerful crime fighting robot built by Dr. Noreen Wakeman. She also has three human friends; Brad, Tuck, and Sheldon. The town Jenny lives in is Tremorton, Ohio in the year 2071 or 2072 not sure. Jenny often battles villains like the Cluster and many mutants. She also has an ongoing rivalry feud with the Krust cousins; two popular girls at her high school. Anyways, check out this show, chances are you'll probably like it.
