Show Summary

  • Ended
6TEEN is an animated situation comedy for teens and tweens alike set entirely in a gigantic shopping mall! It's minimum wages and maximum laughs as we follow our ensemble cast of six sixteen-year-old friends trying to make it through their first part-time jobs and life as a teen. 6TEEN is about the important stuff firsts (and all the ones that follow). First crushes, first jobs, first bank accounts and most importantly, that first taste of freedom of course, not all firsts are positive. By the end of the first episode, Nikki finds herself stuck (in what she considers a sick twist of fate) working at The Khaki Barn, a store that she wouldn't be caught dead shopping in. Jen's scored her dream job at a sports shop, but her meat head ex-gym coach boss, Coach Halder, keeps throwing her in the penalty box for messing up. Jonesy manages to get his butt fired from his new job (and in every episode hereafter), Wyatt's hopelessly in love with his older co-worker, and Caitlin is forced to endure the daily humiliation of working in the lowest store in the mall's hierarchy of cool The Big Squeeze, a giant lemon. No "most embarrassing moment" in these teens' lives will be left unturned, and at times it can seem like there's an evil boss, awful customer or "frienemy" around every corner. But through it all, our group of six best friends learn to lean on one another. From stumbling through relationships to dealing with hideous uniforms, the larger-than-life mall provides our characters with the perfect venue to spread their wings - and totally crash and burn trying. Theme Song: Life begins after school, That's when we bend all the rules. Time to hang with all my friends. We like to be together, In a place where we belong! I'm sixteen, starting to find my way. Got a new job, gonna start at the mall today. Thank God I'm on my own for the first time. I'm sixteen, life is sweet, When your growing up so fast. Gotta make the good times last! I'm sixteen, sixteen. Gotta make the good times last! Characters 'Jonsey' Garcia Jonsey's interests in life can be summed up in two words: hockey and chicks. He's a high school hockey star and your typical party-obsessed jock. He's the popular, good looking guy who gets invited to all the parties and who's probably going to peak in high school...unless he makes it into the NHL of course. Clutch under pressure, always willing to go for it, convinced it'll all work out okay. He's hilarious, outspoken, and totally confident that he's the man. Jonsey is unabashedly male and relentlessly girl-crazy...and no matter how bad things are or how hard he's shot down, he always maintains "the attitude". He is always coming up with new schemes - but they usually end up getting the group in trouble. He teases the guys for being wimps and is protective of the girls. Except for Nikki. Jonsey and Nikki love to spar (probably why they're soo great together). Jonsey likes chicks, parties, hockey, hot chicks, getting stuff free, chicks, taking chances, and hockey bunnies (chicks). He dislikes wimps, working at stores that chicks don't shop at, and losing games. He hopes to get a hockey scholarship - college has lots of college chicks...and dorm rooms. Heh heh. Then to play in the NHL. More chicks. Jonsey gets fired from a new job in every episode...let's just say he's not the most responsible cat in town. Note: From the show we learn that Jonsey has 2 younger brothers and that his parents are divorced. Also noted is that his Dad is newly married to Jen's Mom, and he now has a new baby sister!! Jen Masterson Jen is a hip, hot, tomboy who can beat almost any guy in almost any sport and is bound and determined to become a future Olympic champion. She's kind and fun with an edge, but her strongest personality trait is definitely her determination. Jen's mouth is often faster than her brain and she tends to blurt out the exact wrong thing at precisely the worst time. Jen is do-er, the go-getter, and an instigator. She is protective of all her friends but can be bossy when she gets on one of her "missions". While she's got the plans, Jonsey's got the scams...and both of them end up getting the group in just as much trouble. Jen's experience in sports makes her a natural born leader and coach, and she will often offer tips to Caitlin and the boys...even when they don't ask for her help. Jen likes teamwork, snowboarding, girls who rock at sports, taking dares and boy bands. She dislikes boys who think they're better than girls (at anything), stereotypes, cheerleaders, talking instead of doing. She's in constant cell phone contact with all her friends and likes to know everything that's happening as it's happening. She is known to ditch customers mid-sale to answer the phone. Jen's got boys following her around like drooling puppies but barely even notices. When she does go after a guy, she usually picks the wrong one. Jen works at the Penalty Box and she is desperate to make sure no one gets fired so she isn't stuck working there alone. Note: From the show we learn that Jen has 1 older sister and her Mom is newly married to Jonesy's Dad, plus she now has a new baby sister!! Nikki Wong Nikki is questioning and defiant with a punk rock edge, but beneath her tough exterior, Nikki isn't as tough as she seems. She's not cynical just a "realist". A total original, Nikki loves to take clothes and custom-rip-them to make them her own and can't stand fashion sheep. Her deadpan sarcasm files right over the heads of her co-workers, who she's aptly named "The Clones". Nikki hates everything about mass consumerism, so she considers it a sick twist of fate that she's stuck working at The Khaki Barn, the most generic "don't think for yourself" store in the mall. In her words, "The Khaki Barn represents everything that is wrong with the world today." Unfortunately, The Khaki Barn was the only store that would take her. You could say she has a bad attitude when it comes to authority. She wouldn't be caught dead wearing anything The Khaki Barn sells, and DON'T expect her to be cheerful. Nikki doesn't take pop culture at face value and is not easily sucked into trends, which makes it such a funny reveal when we discover her closet love for the Boy Band, Dawg Toy. Her goal is to graduate, travel for a year, the settle down somewhere cool and break into the music industry as a A&R executive. Something far away from a suburban mall. For now, the mall provides her with ample targets for her razor-sharp wit and observations. Nikki's a "reality check" for her friends. She brings the loftier ones down to earth and puts the obnoxious ones in their place but in a good way. She's always up for a good prank and likes to tease her friends good-naturedly. Nikki thinks Jonsey's an "idiot" but loves him anyway, and truly admires Wyatt's originality. Caitlin Cooke Sweet and optimistic - and TOTALLY used to getting her way, Caitlin gets good grades but isn't very street smart yet. Caitlin is a little sheltered and naive when it comes to things like dating, cruel intentions, and the fact that working at the mall isn't just one big social gathering. ("You mean I have to mop the floors? I so did not sign up for this.") She's vain but not conceited and is always doing sweet things for her friends. Even though she's spoiled, you can't help but love her. She can surprise you with her determination when she sets her mind to something, be it finding a new pair of pink clogs or taking Wyatt on a dating safari to show him how to act like a "mature male." Caitlin is girlie to the core and totally boy-crazy - unfortunately, every time a cute guy even LOOKS at her she does something incredibly embarrassing like walking into a wall. The ever hopeful cheerleader, Caitlin assumes things will work out because up until now, they always have. She elicits the group's protective instincts and loves to give dating advice. Caitlin is a new addition to the already-tight group of five. The only reason she's working at the mall instead of shopping here is because she maxed out her dad's credit card on a shopping spree and he, "like, totally freaked." In an effort to teach Caitlin the value of money, her parents insisted that she get a part-time job. So now she works at The Big Squeeze, which is brutal, but Caitlin figures if she can survive the humiliation of working in a giant lemon, she can probably survive anything. Caitlin hates her uniform so much that she never leaves the lemon with it on, doing a Superman-style quick change into her street clothes every time she leaves work. Caitlin is an only child from a family of two doctors and is the apple of her parents' eyes. She strives to prove herself to her parents and works off her credit card bill, yet stays on the job. It's not that bad... she's even gotten used to using the mop. But she STILL HATES THE HAT! Wyatt Williams Wyatt is an old soul. He sees house parties and making out in the movie theater as strictly "for the cretins." He's into more cultural endeavors: a new jazz band, spiritual awareness, a great documentary about gun control...he's very well read, mellow, and a great foil for Jonesy's adolescent hijinks. Wyatt has certain quirks that don't fit into the typical high school scene, but he does have one ace in the hole: he plays acoustic guitar and can play any song on request. Girls love guys who can play guitar and sing. Wyatt has a dry sense of humor that Nikki in particular appreciates. He's more intelligent and well read than his pals. The "smart" one who SHOULD be the first one to object to Jonesy's scams, Wyatt is easily talked into anything Jonesy proposes because deep down he admires Jonesy's confidence and strength. He knows he should stop taking Jonesy's advice on girls - but he can't help himself. Wyatt's love choices, from Serena to Marlowe, are often girls with whom (as Jonesy often puts it) he "hasn't got a chance with". Wyatt often writes down his observations with the goal of one day writing a book. His job is never high on the hierarchy of cool. Yet he doesn't mind being different or uncool. Deep down he knows that in a few years, when he's in college, he'll be the man. You'll find him playing his guitar in smoky coffee houses to bookish hot girls in big sweaters and glasses and finally, he'll be the cool one. It just won't be tomorrow, that's all - but he can wait. Jude Lizowski Jude is into living life large. If it's extreme, he's done it - or it's on his list. He has a pure, almost childlike outlook and seems to be in his own world, but has a totally solid inner logic that can make the others stop in their tracks and listen. Every once in a while, he comes up with the perfect solution to their problems. He's always positive and mellow, and his attitude is contagious. He's that perfect combination of cool, sweet, and mysteriously confident. Jude's pretty restless and often checks out of conversations because he's bored. You might say he's a bit of a space case or a little hyper-active (he was a nightmare to keep track of in kindergarten). Floating on his own cloud, riding his own melt, the only things he takes seriously are his friends and skateboarding. Jude thinks outside the box - and at times, outside the entire room. Take the time he decided to spread his girlfriend net a little farther and stop limiting himself, so he began dating a computer programmed easy chair with a female voice that he named "Betty." She's easy going, listens to him, and gives great massages - even his friends have to admit that it's hard to argue with that logic. He's the confidant - the one everyone trusts with their secrets...though ironically, Jude is REALLY bad at keeping secrets. The girls often come to him for advice about guys (because their other choices, Wyatt and Jonesy, are both hopeless). He is naturally laid back and everything is cool. Doesn't like it when people harsh on his mellow. Jude often ends up being his own boss (except at Underground and with the Zamboni) which is "totally sweeEET!! I can set my own hours!!"moreless

    Quick review

    Art: 10/10 - Not bad at all.

    Music: 6.5/10 - Needs some work, sometimes it's cliche and uninspiring.

    Character: 7/10 - Cliche people, but shows their personalites (my favs: Jen, Jonesy, Nikki, etc).

    Animation: 9/10 - Good.

    Plot: 5.5/10 - Can get boring, but there are funny moments.

    Presention: 4/10 - Tries to entertain the audience; fails somewhat with cliche music and unecessary scenes.

    Overall: 7/10 - This show might get boring and uninspiring with little or no comedy, but it will bring great characters, good animation, good art, decent music, etc. Recommendation? No. For anyone who can relate to the characters and/or know how to find entertainment in the show? Yes.moreless

    OMG YOU GUYS!
    I Loved this show!! Not so much now b/c I'm 22, but when it first came out I was 15. (I'm soo old!) I remember being so excited to turn 16! for a lot of reasons, but also b/c the shows theme song could finally apply to me! This is a good show, I know a lotta people don't acturally have close friends like this, but I do. We all watched the halloween movie one weekend and all gave ourselves characters. I'm Catlyn.

    I loved that Niki & jonesy got together! weird ending. As far as I know, Niki moved away & that's how it ended?moreless
  • This show is AWESOME!!! So why hate it so much?

    I have no idea why people hate this show. IT'S THE BEST! it's like, my favourite show on tv. it's funny and awesome, and it might not be TOOO realistic, but i can't think of another tweens show that's better than this. it might not be for kids, but it can be for teenagers and tweens and i think the show is awesome. how come everyone hates it? why, because it's another tween show that gets teenagers all wrong and they teach about stupid things and not real life stuff? or because the animation is weird or the jokes arn't funny enough? who cares what the animation looks like?? it's not all about the animation, you know. and the characters and awesome and funny. and why does everyone think jude's always on drugs? he's NOT! It's just the way his personalitly is. cool and laid back. and why does everyone think that nikki is so goth and emo and she hates life? for your information, she is PUNK ROCK, and she dosn't hate life, she just hates her job. and it might show rude things like jen naked, and it might have some bad launguge in there, but that just makes the show not for kids. its for kids, i 'd say in my opinion, 11-16 year olds. the thing that really annoys me is people saying that the show is dumb and they hate the characters and the jokes and it's not funny and they should cancel it. ok, so some people have their own opinions. i respect that. but if they judge it when they havn't even watched the first episode, that's so not cool. i hate the people who say that everything about the show is stupid and it's the worst show ever, and they should get a life. and the episodes are sooooo NOT boring. some of them are really funny and awesome, espcially "dude of the living dead". if you hate the show, don't watch it, and don't go saying it's bad just because YOU hate it. lots of people like it, and they don't care what any a hater says.

    overall, it's a funny, awesome, show and the characters are funny and cool and i love the episodes. i loved the show from the very first episode. they should'n't of canceled it. it was proably the most stupidest thing they ever did. oh, and to the haters, stop hating on the show. it's an awesome show and no-one cares what the stupid haters say. 6teen, YOU ARE AWESOME!!moreless
  • CN should've never brought this show back from Nickelodeon

    "Terrible"
    During the final good years of Nick,they made a show called 6Teen,that I never saw,but it then got moved to CN,and while I used to like this show,I just hate it now. From the creators of Total Drama,comes 6teen,a show about 6 16 year old teenagers who go through life at the mall. And let me say, the TD shows were hilrailious,and great,but this show is not,and they should've left this show canceled. First,the animation looks so stiff. Everyone has bad designs,and look more like characters from a girly internet site. Second,the characters. They all have the perfect word to describe them:stereotypical. Nikki is just a generic emo goth girl,Catlin is just annoying,Jen is idiotic,Jude is a generic troublemaker who is NOT funny,Jonsey is OK,but he's just as stereotypical as the others,and that nerd with a lightsaver is just a pointless character. Wyatt is the only good character of the show,but even can't save the show. Also,there is lack of setting. I mean,99% of the show takes place at the mall,and there are barely any other places shown. The plots are no better at all,and there are some that are just time filter,like zombies at the mall,or a prank war. Overall,6Teen was just a bad show to begin with,and should've never been brought back. CN,stop bringing shows from Canada to your station,or we'll end up with garbage like this. Please,if you want a good Canadian show,watch the Total Drama showsmoreless
