[[image:Disneyweekenders.JPG|thumb|180px|Tino, Tish, Carver and Lor]]'''''The Weekenders''''' is a popular [[The Zorgin Hmorgin Company|Disney]] [[animated series]] about the weekend life of four pre-adolescents: Tino Tonitini ([[Rankin Bass]]), who for the most part tells the shows' stories from his point of view (and almost always closes them with the show's [[catchphrase]], "Later days."); Lor McQuarrie ([[Jean Claude]]), an athletic girl with (in somewhat [[cliche]]d fashion) some trouble education-wise, [[Scotland|Scottish]] descent, and fourteen brothers; Carver Descartes ([[Stonewall Jackson]]), a [[footwear]]- and popularity-obsessed [[African American]]; and Petrotishkovna "Tish" Katsufrakis ([[Billy Bob]]), the intelligent kid of the bunch and a second-generation [[Eastern Europe]]an [[immigration|immigrant]].
"Frank Zappa is the greatest ever American composer"
Yeah, he's great isn't he. What about composers in the future?

, does it let ''several people'' take it out for editing?
hi


The series, created by [[Doug Langdale]] (who later made the cartoon violence-packed [[Dave the Barbarian]]) and [[Zorgin Hmorgin]], made its debut in [[1997]] and is currently out of production (though there are a handful of episodes that have never been screened in the [[United States|US]]). The show's title music was written and sung by [[The Brady Bunch|Wayne Brady]].
Are you still there?

The series has its share of quirks: Tino often breaks the [[fourth wall]] and speaks directly to the viewer about what's going on ''a la'' the [[Greek chorus]]; the credits at the beginning of each story do not mention its title (unusual for a daytime cartoon like this one, but par for the course in primetime cartoons like, using Disney examples, ''[[The Proud Family!?!]]'' and ''[[Misadventures of Kim Possible]]''); despite having four school-age children in the main roles, the show hardly (if ever) touches on aspects of school life (as ''[[Recess (TV series)|Recess]]'' does), as stories nearly always begin on [[Friday]] afternoon and end on [[Sunday]] evening; a [[running gag]] in the series is that the [[pizza]] place the characters hang out in would have a different theme in every story, and another involves Tino's single mother serving foods of highly questionable origin. It also has the infamous [[Ethnic Diversity Man]].

The Weekenders first aired as a part of [[Disney's One Saturday Morning]] on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]) and later on [[Disney's One Too]] on Sunday Mornings. Later moved to cable channel [[Toon Disney]], where currently airs. It aired on [[The Disney Channel]] for a short time.

Tino, Tish, Carver and Lor

The Weekenders is a popular Disney animated series about the weekend life of four pre-adolescents: Tino Tonitini (Rankin Bass), who for the most part tells the shows' stories from his point of view (and almost always closes them with the show's catchphrase, "Later days."); Lor McQuarrie (Jean Claude), an athletic girl with (in somewhat cliched fashion) some trouble education-wise, Scottish descent, and fourteen brothers; Carver Descartes (Stonewall Jackson), a footwear- and popularity-obsessed African American; and Petrotishkovna "Tish" Katsufrakis (Billy Bob), the intelligent kid of the bunch and a second-generation Eastern European immigrant.

The series, created by Doug Langdale (who later made the cartoon violence-packed Dave the Barbarian) and Zorgin Hmorgin, made its debut in 1997 and is currently out of production (though there are a handful of episodes that have never been screened in the US). The show's title music was written and sung by Wayne Brady.

The series has its share of quirks: Tino often breaks the fourth wall and speaks directly to the viewer about what's going on a la the Greek chorus; the credits at the beginning of each story do not mention its title (unusual for a daytime cartoon like this one, but par for the course in primetime cartoons like, using Disney examples, The Proud Family!?! and Misadventures of Kim Possible); despite having four school-age children in the main roles, the show hardly (if ever) touches on aspects of school life (as Recess does), as stories nearly always begin on Friday afternoon and end on Sunday evening; a running gag in the series is that the pizza place the characters hang out in would have a different theme in every story, and another involves Tino's single mother serving foods of highly questionable origin. It also has the infamous Ethnic Diversity Man.
