The Weekenders premiered on February 26, 2000, as part of Disney's One Saturday Morning on ABC. The series centers on the weekend life of four 12-year-old 7th graders: Tino Tonitini, Lor, Carver, and Tish. The show was known for its distinctive animation style, similar to Nickelodeon's shows produced by Klasky-Csupo.
The Weekenders details the weekends of four diverse middle school students. Every episode is set over the course of a weekend, with little to no mentions of school life. The implied "ticking clock" is used to signify the characters running out of time.
