There was something awesomely understated about The Weekenders. Maybe it’s the fact that one of the few cartoons where the main characters wear something different on three consecutive days in every episode. Maybe it’s because it’s a show about four friends (two guys and two girls) where the two girls regularly pass the Bechdel test with ease.  Or maybe it was one of the last great One Saturday Morning cartoons Disney churned out. 

But yeah. I really liked The Weekenders. 

Later days.

I think the appeal is that it was a cartoon that while having zany moments never strayed into complete ridiculousness and the characters feel like actual people, including adults. I would also say that it’s also because the writers do not talk down to their audiences.

They had really great episodes too, like the time when Lor (I think it’s spelt that way) tried to change herself to impress a guy by trying to become like a model who barely ate anything. This show was awesome.

The Weekenders will always stick out in my memory for being a show with really great, snappy writing. The pizza place they ate at changed its theme every week, and it was always a ridiculous pun. There’s this part where Tish remembers having a childhood friend who used to love books and then one day just changed, which was illustrated by her walking outside, giggling, and hissing, “I LIKE POINTY THINGS.” Tino had an anxiety dream about his mom dating a new guy, and because it’s a dream, someone says “Look! It’s Martin Van Buren!” And Martin Van Buren rides by on a tiny toy train chanting, “DOWN WITH THE COTTON GIN! DOWN WITH THE COTTON GIN!”

It also managed to tackle different family structures– Tino’s mom was a divorcee, and it wasn’t because Tino’s dad is an asshole– it’s because it just didn’t work out between them, and nobody was at fault. His mom’s new boyfriend is a divorcee, too, who has a teenage daughter. Tish has immigrant parents from an eastern European nation and often deals with the stigma that comes from being a second-generation child in a first-generation household. Lor has an unknown number of brothers that makes it impossible for her to get anything done at home.

And it didn’t just deal with regular morals, even if they learned a lesson after every episode. Heck, I remember one where Tino, who considers himself likable, finds out there’s one guy in town who doesn’t like him. And he spends the whole episode trying to figure out why and make the guy like him as a person, and at the end, he realizes that it’s okay if somebody doesn’t care for you, because it doesn’t devalue your other relationships.

The Weekenders was just a really great, special show, and I miss it tremendously.

Do y'all remember the episode where Tish’s mom talks about how she never really had a childhood and the gang takes her out to have fun for the weekend and do the kinds of stuff she didn’t get to do as a teenager? And except for Tish showing some anxiety that her mom was cooler than her and would replace her in her friend group no one said anything derogatory about a grown woman going roller skating and riding go carts?
