History WesternAnimation / SixTeen

''6teen'' lasted from November 2004 to February 2010, with four seasons and a total of 93 episodes. The series was a co-production between Creator/{{Nelvana}} and Creator/FreshTV, being the latter company's very first series. It aired on Creator/{{Teletoon}} in Canada, becoming one of the channel's most popular and long-running series during its time on air. Broadcasting in the United States was originally handled by Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} in 2005, but they dropped the show quite quickly afterwards. The show was then picked up by Creator/CartoonNetwork in 2008 in response to the success of Fresh TV's second series ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' (part of a general trend of Canadian imports rising to prominence on the channel at the time). But despite its flagship status for Teletoon throughout most of the 2000s, the show little success stateside, in part due to heavy editing from American censors.

* TeenHater: Ron is a mall cop who has a strong distaste for teenagers. Some episodes show him obsessively stalking the protagonists in order to fine them for even the most minor of infractions.

* RealityEnsues:
** When someone finds a cockroach in their meal, they promptly report it to Ron the Rent-a-Cop, who in turn gets the Board of Public Health. Ron proceeds to tell Jude about all the safety regulations he violated, and subsequently fires Jude over the incident, while stating that he won't work in food services again.
** In "The Khaki Girl", Jude forgets to plug in the fridge for the the Roast Burkey Chunklet meat. As a result, the meat gets rotten, and results in a [[VomitChainReaction brutal vomiting]] and [[TheFoodPoisoningIncident sickness epidemic]] breaking out across the mall. Jonesy is promptly fired and Ron the Rent-a-Cop says that the mall could be under investigation for food poisoning.
** When Jonesy gets fired, it's usually for a valid reason. While the show usually makes it either funny or paints the boss as unreasonable, Jonesy either goes blatantly against job safety norms or abuses or insults the customers, which is a fireable offence.
** In the b-plot to "The Wedding Destroyers," the clones accuse Nikki of stealing stuff from the Khaki Barn without any proof. They even go as far as to have Ron the Rent-a-Cop follow Nikki everywhere, even ''into the bathroom.'' Nikki finally snaps and quits her job. As soon as she leaves though, the real culprit, little Stanley, comes in with all the stuff he stole and is forced by his mother to apologize. The clones then find Nikki and try to apologize. Nikki, of course, doesn't accept their apology and threatens to call the head office and tell them that the clones have been harassing her. She only changes her mind when Chrissy offers to give her three extra breaks.

''6teen'' is a Canadian animated sitcom aimed at preteens and younger teenagers. The series follows a sextet of 16-year-old teenagers named Jude, Jen, Jonesy, Nikki, Wyatt, and Caitlin -- the first five having known each other since kindergarten and the last being a new addition to their circle. These six friends all hang out and work part-time jobs at a megaplex shopping mall somewhere in Canada known as the [[TheMall Galleria Shopping Mall]], where they always head to after school and on weekends. A SliceOfLife series, ''6teen'' focuses not on their lives in high school but what the common everyday things they do in their free time as they struggle to balance work in their first ever jobs with the daily problems of being a teenager, from romance and friendship to getting their first tastes of sweet freedom and making the most of their youth while it lasts.

* OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank: In one episode Jude donates blood seventeen times in order to score free doughnuts.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Jude was literally OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank, donating ''seventeen times'' in one day under different [[PaperThinDisguise Paper-Thin Disguises]] just to get the complimentary treats in the recovery room after you donate. Obviously for RuleOfFunny, but had the show handled it realistically, Jude would probably have died around the fourth or fifth donation.

* GirlsVsBoysPlot: In "Bring It On," Jonesy challenges the girls into a battle of the sexes after he claims that his being a male makes him an objectively better salesperson than Jen. The boys lose the first three but win the fourth (having to avoid vomiting after eating thirty Stick-Its and riding the mall's rollercoaster), which Jonesy declares to have been the only challenge that counts. He is eventually forced to recant his sentiment when he and the other guys fail at finding a way to keep the children Jude is babysitting behave, only to have the girls suggest [[StatingTheSimpleSolution putting them down for a nap]].

* OneHourWorkWeek: While all the main cast seems to have fairly flexible job schedules, Jude, in particular, has nearly limitless freedom in setting his own schedule and pay. As he learns in "Employee of the Month," the number Stick-It lists for his boss's phone is his ''own'' number, meaning the company likely allows him to do whatever he wants with the job so long as he at least brings in some level of profit.

* OneWordTitle: All the main characters are sixteen.
