"Perfect"

By 4EverGreen, May 21, 2009

This show marks the creative births of the team of writers who would later bring us the great shows of "Yin Yang Yo," and "Total Drama Island." And it would also mark the birth of some careers of the actors who would later go on to provide voices in those shows. The one important thing that all pilot episodes need in order to initiate a successful show is to introduce their main characters, provide us important background information on said characters, and give them distinct personalities. The pilot episode for this show accomplishes them with flying colors! Jen Masterson is the responsible female teen working for a living, to make up for an earlier mistake she made more than a year ago. Jonesy is the irresponsible male teen who has no work ethic and is always looking for the latest get rich quick scheme in order to make his way up the social ladder. Nikki is the sarcastic punk teenage girl who hates dumb blondes but isn't above working with them if it means getting travel money. Jude is the truthfully honest free-spirited teenage guy who likes to go with the flow, roll with the punches, and willing to do anything to help his other friends out. Wyatt is the socially awkward yet hopefully optimistic, hard-working teenage male with hopes of finding his true soul mate. And Caitlin is a truly exceptional example of character depth. On the outside, she appears to be a spoiled, self-absorbed, snotty daddy's girl who has every single one of her heart's desires granted through her father's credit card which gives her instant gratification. But when Caitlin is forced to learn how to work within the real world, her deeper layers reveal themselves. She's a scared, unsure, romantically insecure female who just wants to be loved not for her beauty, but for her outer characteristics which set her apart from everyone else. Caitlin learns that friendship is like anything else that is worth having in life, and it's worth working for! Especially if its hard! :idea: I highly recommend this episode for T.V. watching! ;)moreless

Catilin loses her privilage to use her dad's money and thus loses her card!!! She is forced to get a job right after her best friend abandons her!!! She soons finds a job at the Lemon Hut thanks to one of her new friends, Jen Masterson. Jen is smart and is the one that came up with the idea that all of her friends should get jobs at the mall. She gives Catilin her Lemon Hut job in exchange for her Penalty Box job. Wyatt is another of the friends. He hates country and loves to make songs and sing!!! Jude is the main dude!!! He clueless and easy-going guy who never thinks about his actions to the point that something bad happens!!! I believe that is where most of 6Teen's homor comes from!!! Nikki is the greatest friend that anyone could have just one problem, you have to become her friend first which Catilin finds out isn't that easy!!! I found it to be very funny half way threw the show,when they are doing all their job interviews. Jude was my favorite in this one.Well he's pretty well my favorite character in all the episodes.But anyways i found it to be very intertaining all the way threw this episode,Which is pretty rare,i have to say for some of the other episodes in the series.Its not my favorite or least favorite one of the series or anything but there are some other episodes that are better then this one.moreless

ALLUSIONS (3)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Take This Job and Squeeze It: This title is a spoof of the saying and the song, "Take this job and shove it".
  EDIT SHARE
- Jonsey: I have an evil hunger brewing inside. Jude: Yes! What kind of food could possible defeat it? Jonsey: A bird? Jude: A plain? Both: No, it's Wonder Tacos. The "A bird? A plain? No it's Wonder tacos" part is spoof on the Super-man opening "Look up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman!"
  EDIT SHARE
- Nikki: This is unbelievable! Did you see the guy running Stereoshack? Even he has a job, and he carries a light-saber to work. "Stereoshack" is most likely a spoof on the electronic store Radioshack, and a light-saber is the main weapon jedis (the samurai like warriors from Star Wars) use.
