Surprisingly Great

[bsilver87 · 6/10 · 3 August 2006]

As most people, I first thought that this show was lame, but I never really watched it. I came across this show when one day I realized that another show I loved got cancelled, and I was surprised. This show is just plain funny. The characters all fit in so well, even though they're all different! Plus it's great to watch Jonesy's adventures in the mall. Another thing to point out, is that this all happens in a mall. The people behind 6teen are very creative if you think about it. Plus, the animation rocks!

Basically, the story is about 6 teenagers and the problems they face. There are a ton of great supporting characters also, such as Serina, Coach Halder, The Clones, Tricia, Starr aka Nebula, and a few other characters.

Plain and simple, 6teen is totally worth watching. American viewers may not like it though, but take it or leave it, it's a Canadian show, production budgets are way less, but it is nothing less than any American cartoon.

Great humor, good Canadian show

[Saucygurl72 · 8/10 · 25 January 2007]

I love this show! I didn't start watching it until last year (2006), but my kids and I love to catch it when it's on. It isn't meant for young audiences, that's true, hence the title '6TEEN'. One of the fun elements of the show is that it's Canadian, which is a nice change, and the different personalities of the characters is a good mix. The teens in this show are pretty close friends, guys and girls, which didn't happen when I was in high school. The dating thing always got in the way. I think the way some of the teen girls talk they've hit right on the money, though. I've stood behind girls like that in the mall and it sounds exact. Overall, this show is a good, fun way to spend a half hour of your day.

Worth discovering

[dave13-1 · 7/10 · 7 February 2011]

I find that I have little patience for most teen programming. The writing and performances on Disney Channel 'sit-coms' are so excruciating that without the laugh track one might forget that they are supposed to be funny. Yet, 6teen is consistently funny without resorting to cheap sight gags and pratfalls all of the time by being cleverly observant of teen life with its insecurities and hangups. The characters are well individualized, if oddly mismatched, and the dynamic between each of them is explored and evolves as the show goes on and the characters pass through the usual teen rites of passage, such as dating and breaking up, getting a job and getting fired etc... Shallow, fashion-obsessed Caitlin wants to fit in, and clicks quickly with athletic and driven Jen, but dark non-conformist Nikki isn't looking for an 'insta-friend'. And sensitive Wyatt finds himself an odd man out among chauvinistic Jonesy and slacker Jude. Yet, the six teens are closer to one another than to anybody else in their lives and they wind up supporting and lending strength to each other as they dust themselves off after every new misadventure.

The character animation and action direction are very simplistic. Heads rarely move in a shot, just mouths, and if one figure is moving the rest are static. Fortunately the show is driven primarily by its character interactions anyway and it thrives on its writing rather than action.

Pleasant Surprise

[addictedtosierramist · 10/10 · 11 June 2006]

This was one of those shows that I was less enthusiastic about watching. I have two little siblings and they both convinced me to watch it and I was like "What the heck, it can't kill me, right?" Well, it definitely exceeded my expectations. It's witty, smart, and definitely something new. One of the best shows on Canadian television since the awesomely awesome Degrassi. I watch it everyday at 7 P.M and I'll never get bored. These teens are people that most 16 year olds could certainly relate to, they have good lessons, with a funny twist. Jude by far is my favourite character, he's laid back and just doesn't care what the the world thinks.

Two thumbs WAAAAAAAAAAY up for a pleasant surprise.

10/10

Glad this show is on

[ljbenson · 10/10 · 19 August 2006]

My kids started watching this show a year ago and they really liked it. I happened to be nearby one day and started watching it with them. It is a really great show for kids. It is funny and entertaining but it also has a lot of life lessons in it. How to treat your friends, how to stand up for your friends and how to stand up against them if you think they need it. How to decide what you should do in future situations (my kids are younger than the kids on the show). I think it is terrific and am glad it is a Canadian show. We need more shows for kids that aren't all noise and screaming and flash. I would recommend this show to just about anyone. My friends have kids that watch this show as well and they all really like it including the mothers.

A comedy story about six friends working in the same mega mall. Their lives, relationship and work.

[asaloverboy7 · 10/10 · 7 January 2014]

Basically this show is about a group of six teenagers (all at the age of 16), who start working in the local mega mall. All have their hopes for their first job, but it turns out you not always get what you want. Those six teens are:

1. NIKKI WONG - an Asian who's an individualist. She has earrings "all over her body" and tends to be sarcastic. She likes to make fun of people, but she's a loyal friend

2. JONSEY GARCIA - a "playboy" who's never able to keep his job for too long. She's totally into "chicks", but he secretly has a huge crush on Nikki. His advice are often terrible, but he's always ready to do what he can to help a friend.

3. JEN MASTERSON - a girl who acts more like a boy: she loves sports and is in a way Jonesy's sister (not biological one). She always gives other people advice, with aren't always good, but she never leaves her friends on ice.

4 JUDE LISOWSKI - a skateboarder, who has a laid-back attitude. The more he tries to help, the bigger the problem gets, but he's a type of guy who's always there for his friend.

5. CAITLIN COOKE - a rich girl, who's obsessed with shopping. She tends to go out on many dates (and always ends her relationships for stupid reasons), but she's always willing to help her friends (though it not always ends for the best)

6. Wyatt WILLIAMS - a musician, who's the most matured of the "team". He's a smart guy, who, surprisingly, have very little knowledge about real life.

Those Six teens go through a series of events that affect their lives as

They struggle to find themselves in the adult world.

The art of this cartoon is rather unique and it may take you a while to get used to it, but the plots are definitely funny and sometimes circle around important issues of growing up.

Those who like to laugh should enjoy this one.

6teen: the ideal Saturday morning waste of time

[a_kilpatrick · 11 August 2005]

I'm not saying that you shouldn't watch the show, It's one of my favorite shows on teletoon, and In the morning if I'm just lying there, and hear the theme start up on the TV ill race to the living room and sit there for the half an hour and not move until it's over. It's hilarious, but very very naïve. I mean, Jude, who is by far my favorite character, is the stereotypical lazy, lethargic skateboarder, Caitlin: the ditzy blonde, Jen the athlete, Nikki the rebel, Wyatt the..... umm, well he's Wyatt. and Jonesy, the creep that hits on every cute girl he sees at the mall and cant hold down a job to save his life. I never even thought that I could stand to watch a show like that, but I watched it once and I got hooked, so I guess that I should really learn to not judge a book by it's cover.

It was fine

[mitsubishizero · 7/10 · 28 December 2020]

I don't have much to say here other than it was fine for what it is. It wasn't really memorable but it was good enough to quiet down your kids. It's ok. It's made by the same people behind Total Drama Island. Go ahead and check it out.

I used to like this show When I was 12 years old.

[GravityLoudHouseLover1 · 10/10 · 9 May 2016]

6teen is Canadian Sitcom that ran on Teletoon in Canada From November 7th, 2004 - February 11th, 2010 with 4 Seasons & 93 Episodes. The show was Shown on Nickelodeon From December 18th, 2005 -May 13th, 2006 and Cartoon Network from 2008 to 2011. The Show is about six teenage named Jude, Jonesy, Wyatt, Caitlin, Jen and Nikki and their Misadventures in the Mall. My Favorite Episode of 6teen was "The Sushi Connection" were Caitlin wanted to go on date with a cute guy. I really enjoyed this when was it on Cartoon Network back in November 2008. Anyway I give 6teen a 10 out 10 stars for being excellent. Anyway I'm GravityFalls2 and Have Nice Day. BYE.

Not bad

[kindpastor · 7/10 · 10 November 2008]

I like the fact that this cartoon goes places other cartoons usually don't. Multiple story lines, a little "mature" humor. It's a refreshing break from the rather dull cartoons you'll see on American television. Also, the appealing character designs and personalities make me actually "care" about what happens to the characters. I don't really care what happens to somebody like "Johnny Test" for example. Another thing I like is that this show pushes the limits. Too many cartoons these days are afraid to show anything remotely offensive, but 6teen has implied cursing, pixelated nudity, and, well--you just have to watch. I've noticed Canadian television programs always seem to go farther than their American counterparts in that sense. You can also notice a slight Canadian accent in the characters when they pronounce words like "out".

Like total drama island, this show seriously SUCKS!

[GhostofaSiren · 1/10 · 10 August 2009]

If I could give it a zero you bet I would! When my little brother puts this show on I can literally feel my brain shutting down. It's that bad! I hate the animation, and the characters are extremely obnoxious. They show these awful shows (total drama action, 6teen, and stoked) all the time, and yet they barely show CN's only good shows (flapjack, and chowder). Come on CN, if you want something that adults can enjoy watching with their children, then you'd better get some better shows.

Not too mention... the story lines are boring (this is coming from a writer). Why are these shows on like ten times a day?? It's like they took everything I hated in a cartoon and this is what they got.

Perhaps one of the best cartoon shows around!!

[keith-mills-3 · 10/10 · 3 December 2007]

Witty, smart, an all around great show, with substance. The fact that it is ALSO Canadian, only adds to it's +'s.

I'm over 30, and find watching this show with my children, enjoyable, and a complete riot. The character development is intricate, and the relationships perhaps the funniest aspect of the group.

The bonds, and incidents that this group of "kids" have formed, reminds me of my youth. Interestingly the dilemmas faced today are no different than the ones we faced 20 years ago... LOL

KEEP up the GREAT WORK!!! PS: I also catch some of the actors on Total Drama Island!!! Nice job there as well!!!

good stuff

[angelorwez · 7/10 · 12 August 2022]

This show WAS good....it was...i may be relying on my memory alone...but am pretty sure it was...and it's not just nostalgia...

the execution the rawness the relatibility...it might be the best depiction of teenage mindset...although I'll repeat i AM relying on memory for all these sentiments...

if i could give a general comment...this show was good...very goood I'll even dare to say...

I glad it gone (If ya'll wanna see a show that uses idiots as people and is actually funny, watch Camp Lazlo)

[tommypezmaster · 2/10 · 30 August 2007]

I dunno why dis show was ever put on Nick. It is like one of the worst shows ever. It was bad enough when they decided to add CatDog to Nicktoons, but it's worse because they still have this show. It seems unoriginal about the characters because I have seen some other shows like it. The animation was not cool, but I saw one show and I was like no way. I thought Oh, lord, this show is a lot dumber than I thougth it would have been. I remember when Nick was fun, they would have Peslwick, Mr. Bean: The Animated Series and a lot of other funny shows like Catscrtach, but then they got rid of them. I remember on week night Nights they had a show called Charlie Brown. I remember Tiny Toon Adventures and the times where All That was cool. But now, it's just going downhill for Nick.

I think this show is awesome

[ccseven95 · 18 January 2006]

6teen is definitely my favorite show! I used to watch it on Turbo Nick, and now I AM HOOKED!!!! Jude is definitely my favorite character because he is just unaware of everything. Like the time Jonesy was trying to teach Jude how to kiss a girl, and Jonesy was demonstrating the signs, and Jude kissed him, Jonesy: Don't you now to only kiss a chick?!! Also when he told Nikki that he would keep her parents away from her. Jude to Nikki's Parents: Uhhum, FIRE!!!! FIRE!!!! AVACUATE THE MALL!!!! DON'T JUST STAND THERE!!! SAVE YOURSELVES!!! If Jude wasn't there then Nikki would be my favorite character because the only other boys are kinda dorks, and Nikki just hates everyone so she is my 2nd favorite character. Altogether this is a great show, I bet you would like it if you watched it. Also I recommend the TV shows: Naruto, One Piece, and my favorite in comedy Bobobo Bo Bo Bobo. All these shows are in a row on Cartoon Network in the order I gave them in from 9pm - 10:30pm on Saturday.

A G-rated program appropriate for all ages

[pink_rapid · 9/10 · 27 May 2006]

6teen showcases the adventures and mishaps of the world of 6 sixteen year old teenagers, set in one gigantic mall. Diverse episodes feature relationship woes, job worries and the ever important arcade hall of fame title. The characters' personalities differ respectfully, so you never feel cheated and the content is always fresh and entertaining.

6teen is a show appropriate for kids old enough as, yes, sixteen, and even older. The program features humor for all ages: small funnies and spills for children as well as inside jokes and more mature content for older audiences. What is really appealing about this cartoon is the fact that it takes its rating to the limit. From skateboard tricks gone awry to fart jokes, to two hot girls thinking Jonesy and Wyatt are gay, and Jude reading Nikki's assistant manager pin as "ass man", everyone can appreciate this television show's offering of hilarious content.

6teen is a well rounded program, well thought out and written. You can truly believe that these animated teenagers are real people with real personalities, and, most of all, real problems. The best thing about watching 6teen is getting funny lines you can use in real life, and watching a character's embarrassing situation unfold and saying, "Haha, I've done that!"

Accidental gem

[oyinadegoju · 10/10 · 2 June 2021]

I found this show purely by accident and I have to say I enjoyed every second of it. As a teen it really captures what this stage of like is like and what it's all about. It's kinda out dated exaggerated but it adds to the charm. It really shows how at this point in your life you have so much responsibility but at the same time no responsibilities at all and how you can spend such awesome times hanging with friends and doing stupid stuff with college just on the horizon but at the same time some of us are stressing about what we're going to do with our life and if high school will affect our futures. I also love how the mall is like this community and even the external characters are given attention and we actually get to know them and grow to love them as much as the main ones. It was way better than I expected honestly.

Cult-classic

[millcrai-34801 · 10/10 · 8 January 2021]

This show kinda reminds me of Corn & Peg, because it has beautiful animation, voice actors (Stacey Depass as Nikki), great plots, and uses the same software Toon Boom Harmony. half of the animators and crewwho worked on this show also worked on Corn & Peg, like Kerry Sargent, Dinah Wilson, Mike Csunyoscka, Jamie Galloro, the late Mike Northcott and many more. it also reminded me as a teenager growing up. one of my favorite characters is Jonesy because he always gets fired from a new job every episode. and Caitlin because she works at The Big Squeeze or the lemon. some of my favorites moments include, Jude playing SImu-Mall. Jonesy working as Pokey The Panda. and THe man-off challenge.

Best show I have ever seen

[galceex · 10/10 · 6 June 2014]

When I first tried watching this show a couple years ago I hated it due to Wyatt's dislike of country music... but when I finally got past that and actually watched the show all the way through I started to fall in love with the characters wishing I had friends like that, the characters felt so real and that i could go up to Canada and actually meet them all. I never realized how many lessons it truly taught me until the series finale where I cried at the memories montage, and that last goodbye was so wonderful, I will forever cherish this show, and anyone who says this show is awful probably hasn't seen all of it, I would recommend this show to literally anyone and every one, enjoy!

Canada...

[JayP129 · 1/10 · 21 December 2008]

Just keeps giving our wonderful and beautiful country of America more crappy cartoons. I don't know what i hate more, Totally Dramatic Island (Total Drama Island) or 6fiend (6teen). Teletoon cartoons are the worst, for example, George of The Jungle is horrible (0/10). Getting to the point of this review, 6teen is WAY beyond awful. I'll tell you why (↓).

1: The animation looks a quadrillion times worse than normal Canadian cartoons, it looks like somebody threw-up on there desk and decided to paint with it! 2: These are not what sixteen year-old teens act like (in reality, a 6teen year old is serious and curses a lot, but there is no sign of profanity in this show). 3: Don't watch this show.

A Little Crude, but A Good Show

[SusieSalmonLikeTheFish · 8/10 · 15 February 2021]

There's a lot of vulgar humor in this series, and it hasn't aged well in 2021, but if you can overlook this, 6Teen is a genuinely heartfelt, well-animated and clever series with a good story arc and plenty of character development. There are some well-placed pop culture references, a perfect balance of comedy and drama, funny reoccurring support characters, and it's distinctly, unabashedly Canadian, which is nice to see. The sitcom-like plot, a gang of 6 teens at the local shopping mall, is simple and basic but still manages to work something new into the story. If you go into it viewing it as a period piece of y2k Canadiania, it works really well as an effective, nostalgic series, so much that there are times where it's easy to forget that it's a cartoon originally targeted towards kids.

beyond awful

[Floated2 · 1/10 · 25 October 2008]

6teen is just awful and plain stupid. Its not fun or funny in the least bit. The computer animation they used to draw the characters look horrible. This show is meant for kids but many of the jokes and humor are mature and centered more around teens. This show stereotypes pretty much everything from jocks, goth girls, to girly girls. Its such a joke and its completely not how the life of sitoeens years old are. The thing that pisses me off the most is that the characters are all annoying and they cheese me off. Jude and Jonesy are so annoying its not even funny. Jude acts like a retard all the time and says really gay stuff, it gets old real fast. Jonesy is always possessed with girls and always trying to get them. He's a such a clown. Caitlin is also annoying.

I wouldn't recommend anyone to watch this garbage, its a waste of time and beyond awful.

1/10

Good Humour

[RentPotter · 5 April 2006]

This show also turned out better than I thought. At first, I questioned the time the six friends (Jonesy, Nikki, Jude, Wyatt, Jen, & Caitlin) spent at the mall. A little too much, if you ask me. In every single episode, 98% of the setting is at the mall.

But then again, this show still displays good humour without too many clichés, even surprising me, and I tend to look for clichés in new cartoons. The show is surprisingly funny.

However, some parts of the show can be inappropriate for younger children. I think that the G rating the show was given on Teletoon was too low.

In all, a very good show with plenty of humour, some romance, and surprise.

Teletoon Gem

[ThunderKing6 · 10/10 · 31 August 2020]

6teen was a cool Teletoon show. It was one of the first shows for the visually impaired.

It was about teenagers getting into problems when at the mall. It had all your stereotypes including the 1 token.

Teletoon back in the day had some nice gems. Today there is nothing on to watch.

Verdict: A fun show to watch.

Hilariously perfect

[crunkette4 · 9/10 · 6 August 2008]

I love the character designs for this show, and the humor is great for those of us who aren't 5 years old, yet still don't want completely offensive jokes of the likes of the Simpsons. It's called 6teen, the characters are 6teen, and I can only assume the target audience is of the same age. The content isn't going to be squeaky clean when your main characters are teenagers in the teenage world of dating and growing up. The show surprisingly deals with a lot of teenage issues behind all the ridiculous cartoon situations they're put in... stuff like dealing with mixed marriages, and heck, even periods! It's one of the few cartoons I can still find joy in watching in my grumpy old age of 21 (*wink*). It does contain character stereotypes, but I think in that way it tries to include all the different "cliquey" types of high school and shows that they all can get along.
