If that's correct, then it may mean that we have a new show to fill the 9.5pm slot after TDI. ;) I can see it know: "From the creators of Total Drama Island, comes...6TEEN!

[Blackstar]

Funny, I thought that Nickelodeon owned the broadcasting rights to 6Teen. But then again, 6Teen is a 3rd party acquisition, so I guess if Nick is done with the show, that it just go to the highest bidder.

I doubt they still do, since the last time it aired on that channel was back in '06. :sweat: And it apparently failed on the network (though it was a Invader Zim-type situation, in which they kept moving it all over the place).

[Silverstar]

I haven't heard anything about CN acquiring 6Teen, but if they have, you just know that the channel's ad wizards will go out of their way to mention it in the same breath as their other resident darling Canadian import, Total Drama Island, possibly even placing the 2 shows in the same hour, so as to attract the same audience as TDI.

If 6Teen did air after TDI at 9:30 on Har Har Tharsdays, that would mean one less airing of Johnny Test, which would make some folks here very happy. ;)

If it does air, you all are in for a treat.

BTW, the special is named 'Night of the Living Dude'.

[The Huntsman]

If it does air, you all are in for a treat.

BTW, the special is named 'Night of the Living Dude'.It’s actually “Dude Of The Living Dead (http://www.tv.com/6teen/dude-of-the-living-dead/episode/522891/summary.html)”.

6Teen on CN? Righteous!

[Nick and More!]

This is great news! I liked 6teen the short time (Dec. 2005 - May 2006) it was on Nick. Nick only aired about 20 episodes of the show, so it will be great to see more.

Since 6teen will come with 78 episodes already, I suggest that CN air it weekdays.

[Dudley]

I've seen this episode before. It's actually pretty cool. I'll be shocked if they don't dub out the word "gay", which is used twice in the episode.

Awesome, I love that special.

[clipeuh]

Homosexuals ;)
Dude Of the Living Dead will air next Thursday at 9:30PM right after TDI.

[Old Guy]

Awesome. I never saw this show when it aired on Nick, so I'll definitely check it out now after having seen TDI.

[Mickialla]

Yea, I knew it'd be airing, I checked Zap2it a few days ago, I just didn't want to make a topic.

Anyways, this is just eh for me. I know a lot of people like this series, but the few episodes I saw on Nick weren't awesome, though I can't remember them that well. But if it's like Total Drama Island, I probably won't like it, but it'll probably do well, so I guess it's a good thing it's coming over. I'm not really surprised that it is coming to CN after TDI's success, I wouldn't be surprised if they brought Class of the Titans over soon or if they brought Atomic Betty back.

[Jayngfet]

Nick didn't show a bit of 6teen. I think they cut that episode where Jonsey's "bits" got shown(censored).

[macattack]

It doesn't surprise me that CN may now have 6teen; considering the good treatment TDI's had and the high ratings it has received, 6teen was inevitable the moment Nick let go of the show.

CN's a better place for 6teen anyway, considering that CN has pretty much always been friendlier towards edgier content than Nick. From running Outlaw Star and Rurouni Kenshin at 6:30 in the afternoon (albeit both were edited) to running The Iron Giant uncut all day, to TV-PG Naruto, IGPX, and TDI, to nearly uncut Batman Gotham Knight just now . . . seriously, you got a show that has a little more bite to it CN's the only game in town.

That major TDI edit a few episodes back was the most hilarious thing I ever saw. I'm sure it was intentional for laughs, since I don't see how *bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeep* can be inappropriate. She cursed and they could have just kept the sensor in.

Personally, I don't see that much of an issue with that. Of course, I don't find censored cursing, or cursing in general, that funny to begin with.

Anyway, this is great news. Even though it was short lived on Nick, I did enjoy some of the episodes of 6Teen. The them song was annoyingly catchy and it did have some funny moments. Considering how well TDI is doing, it isn't too surprising that CN went after it as soon as Nick gave up the rights to it. They have a better track record, I guess, with editing their shows and movies. Plus, it wouldn't be surprising at all if they kept on labeling it as from the creators of Total Drama Island in order to get more people to watch it.

[chdr]

Awwwright. :cool:

Hopefully this is more than just a special Halloween airing.

[creativerealms]

6Teen on Cartoon Network? Can't say I'm surprised. TDI has been a hot for Cartoon network, and they going to air TDA no doubt, it does make sense that they would want the other show done by these same people. Hopefully the special is just a start. Really it can air right after TDI as people said, that would be great. I hope this is the start of 6Teen on cartoon Network.

[Kenny E. McCall]

I Never saw 6Teen on Nick, but I'll probably check it out.

Now if Cartoon Network can get the new Iron Man toon away from NickToons before it airs, as well as the Spectacular Spider-Man.

[Brainatra]

Nice to see 6Teen get a probably-better-treated shot on Cartoon Network.

When it originally aired on Nick, I mostly ignored it, thinking (from the female characters' designs) it was some sort of show about Barbie or something. After seeing it, erm, "elsewhere", I finally saw this was actually amusing.

I bought a few of the DVDs from previous trips to Canada, so already have some episodes of it... don't have the "Dude" movie, though.

As for why 6Teen failed on Nick, guessing the result of trying to air said show admist its programs about fairy godparents and talking sponges, instead of (at minimum) in their TeenNick timeslot... if not The N.

Yeah, guess can seey CN airing it figuring "if the viewers liked TDI this much, then more Canadian imports might = more dirt-cheap-to-obtain ratings gold!" So maybe "Class of the Titans" might be in the offing. Either way, long as it all keeps the live-action off the channel/down to a bare minimum...

[Jave]

As someone who has seen it, let me say that this is an amazing episode. Mainly because this is probably one of the few Halloween specials that is truly scary. I'd say it's "Speed Demon" type of stuff, but with more comedy.

So even if you didn't like much what you saw on Nick, give this one a shot. It's brilliant.

[Old Guy]

Well, it figures that they need to air something in-between TDI and TDA. :p

[Jayngfet]

Well, it figures that they need to air something in-between TDI and TDA. :p

Something that isn't J Test or Ben 10:AF

[Racattack!Force]

Now if Cartoon Network can get the new Iron Man toon away from NickToons before it airs, as well as the Spectacular Spider-Man.Too late for Iron Man, since NN already began to advertise it...though they seem to care about X-Men more. :shrug:

[creativerealms]

Too late for Iron Man, since NN already began to advertise it...though they seem to care about X-Men more. :shrug:

Yeah they spend every second hyping Wolvering and the X-men and no time on iron man. still I don't think those shows need to be "saved" as I have a feeling in January Nicktoons will be treating both shows far better then Cartoon network treated their last marvel cartoon. I think it was Marvels choice not to go with Cartoon network.

[Master Moltar]

There's going to be a good bunch of 6teen+TDI airings in November.

[Zenze14]

about time they got something new on HHT

[creativerealms]

The last thing I want is for Cartoon network to go crazy with Canadian cartoons. You know picking up a ton of them because of a few hots and hoping for the same result. That's what they did with anime and now after a few less then stellar pick ups they are removing their anime.

Yes 6Teen is a logical move since TDI is a hit, giving it Jonny test's HHT spot is the best thing they can do. And if 6teen does good it could last a while as the series is pretty long.

And yeah Class of the Titans would be a good addition to YAH sometime next year they should go for it. Cartoon Network should just take it show and choose shows wisely.

[Master Moltar]

about time they got something new on HHT

Actually it's not even airing on HHT, though it does have one hour airings before it.

Generally, it's going to air twice a day on weekdays paired with TDI. Plus it has a couple marathons already scheduled.

What? Let me get this strait. You are saying that 6teen is going to get an hour hong weekday spot? Or did I misinterpret something? Where did you hear that?

I mean that's great news if it's true. Also if thats true when does it start?

[macattack]

*whistles* Yeah, CN definitely has the rights to 6Teen and they're gonna milk it for all its worth.

[Mickialla]

:shrug:

I guess if people like 6Teen and if it'll be popular, then I shouldn't complain if I don't like the show. I'm just miffed that instead of having it air on HHT where Test is, they just decide to take up space on weekdays that could be occupied by other shows. If 6Teen ends up being popular, we're just going to have a rotation of Chowder, Flapjack, TDI, Test, Skunk, and 6Teen for the rest of the year. Sounds exciting (not). Even though some of those shows are good, airing the life out of them is a bad move.

[creativerealms]

Hey well there are like 80 episodes so a weekday run makes sense. I will probably catch the 9 pm showing.

[The Overlord]

Is that really a concern though? Don't get me wrong, there are horrible Canadian cartoons out there, but they often don't last that long and i doubt CN would pick a show that isn't very good and only has around 13 or 26 eps.

Canada's animation output is far smaller then say Japan so there is less to choose from for CN.

[Racattack!Force]

The weekday run makes sense, since the show has 78 episodes (80 including the hour-long specials) and counting in Canada. :shrug:

[shaman_mya19]

oh good 6teen going to cn better than having to wait for nick to air episodes (lol) or moving it to a channel i don't have!(i love this show!)

[lemonhead75]

:D lemonhead75 is pleased.

Now, the only other Canadian cartoons I'd like to see getting some spotlight are Storm Hawks and Atomic Betty. Both of which they have aired before.

But this is truly a sight. How often does a show air on a network, and air on a rival network several years later?
But I think they have it on a little to bit, just by looking at the schedule. I mean, maybe once or twice daily, but is that much really neccesary?:sweat:

The Overlord good point, it is less of a risk.

[Light Lucario]

I'm glad to hear that 6Teen has a weekday run. I'm not sure if I'll be able to catch all of them, but probably more than I did when it was on Nick. I don't mind a weekday run at all. Considering that how many episodes it already has and how that number is increasing from what I understand, it would be better to go with a weekday run rather than a weekly premier slot. While I would like it also to have a slot on Har Har Tharsday, at least they are going to give it attention and maybe put it on the block once it gains some good ratings.

[chdr]

Nice. :cool: I wish they wouldn't burn through the series, though. Where are the ads for this thing? It's less than a week til' the Halloween premiere.

YES!!!!!

Finally, Cartoon Network can actually do this show some justice, since Nickelodeon doesn't seem to care for any of their cartoons other than Spongebob (now that Avatar is over).

Ah, man, this totally made my day.

[chdr]

For all of you wondering if this will take Johnny Test's place on HHT, it won't. I checked zap2it.

[Sketch]

No shock there... JT reruns do better than most premieres on HarHar. Sad really... but that's just how it is.

[Mickialla]

I don't think so. Har Har was probably the biggest ratings bringer for CN all through the Summer.

Oh my god, I am so happy. I have been hoping and wishing that 6teen would air on CN, and now it is! I'm so happy, I'm going to skip around my house now. :o

[AntN]

This is great news
I wonder if more of 6Teen will air on CN

[Viper]

At last! After 2 years, my first favorite Canadian cartoon is coming back to America: 6Teen!!!:D

Back when it was on Nick, I saw the shows that were on, and I've loved it ever since! It kinda reminded me of Saved By The Bell for some strange reason.:p

Oh, and I HAVE seen Dude of the Living Dead once last year. It was a hilarious ep! One of the best in the series!!!:D Now, I can't wait to see it again and share my thoughts with everyone!:D

Oh, I wonder if Dr. Octopus knows about this? I happen to know she's a huge fan of the show too.:D

WElcome back, 6Teen!!!!!:D :D :D :D :D

[Justy]

This is an excellent turn of events for us! CN gets MAJOR props from me for taking this pretty logical step, given TDI's popularity. I watched the show when it was on Nicktoons (more often than it was on Nick itself) and liked it a lot despite its flat look (Flash, y'know..). I hope they improve the way they make edits, though...

Although there are a number of good Canadian shows out there (more than most of you give them credit for), I'd be perfectly happy if the only other one CN picks up for now is Class of the Titans. It SO needs to be seen here...

Honestly I can't get over how they changed the myths, though some I can understand since it's the same general thing.

I read too many old stories and notice too many diffferences to find it more than decent. But that's just me.

Yea, a few years ago I used to be a Greek mythology maniac and I got a ton of books on it. Then when I watched Hercules: The Animated Series I could nitpick at every little detail that was wrong with the stories. But hey, most kids don't know the myths so they don't notice.

[Royce]

Keep in mind, we don't know how well 6teen will do, it could very well bomb.*Not that i want it to, from what I saw I found the show enjoyable.*

But thing is kids might expect 6teen to be like Total Drama Island, and if they find that it isn't, they might get disappointed and not want to stick with it.

[Jayngfet]

Though it clearly won't and I don't want it to, I wonder what happens if 6teen fails? Another canadian? Back to anime? Classics? French stuff? More J Test?

[creativerealms]

Well starting 6teen with the Dude of the Dead can help. It is concidered one of the best in the series.

[Blackstar]

Though it clearly won't and I don't want it to, I wonder what happens if 6teen fails? Another canadian? Back to anime? Classics? French stuff? More J Test?

With all due respect, you really need to let the anime thing drop. It's not about what country a cartoon comes from. It's all about ratings. That's all it's ever been about. CN is going to do what they do, like it or not.

Yea, honestly, CN has never been all anime or all Canadian or all american or all anything. What does good airs. CN had huge success with stuff like DBZ, Tenchi, and Gundam, and so they got more anime and continued to have success with Yu Yu Hakusho, Rurouni Kenshin and Naruto, and so they got more anime like Bobobo and Zatch Bell, which didn't do as well. But they still gave anime another shot because it did so well before, and that led to failures like Duel Masters. They kept getting more anime because a lot of what they got were similar to one another because they were all shows with similar types of action and usually a fantasy or sci-fi plot in the mix. Then they tried airing TDI, which just happened to be Canadian. Since it was so successful, they got 6Teen which is similar to it in humor and style. That's all that's going on. Cartoon Network execs aren't saying "Oh, we're done with anime, we're all Canadian now". And for the record, there's only been a coincidental string of Canadian shows. Only Test, TDI and 6Teen premiered within the same year, and Test isn't even fully Canadian. Meanwhile George of the Jungle is co-produced by Cartoon Network, and Storm Hawks was funded by Cartoon Network more than a year ago. And then Atomic Betty aired back in like 2005, when anime was still big on the network. And right now we have Pokemon, Bakugan, Naruto, and next year we'll have PPGZ, so there's not a big difference when it comes to the Canadian/anime ratio in the first place.

Duel Masters was a success on CN, which is why them and Hasbro funded the second season that didn't air anywhere else with Shobu visiting the various civilizations. It wasn't until 2.0 that Duel Masters struggled. Also, PPGZ has been rumored to come to CN USA now for 6 years, and it still isn't here. Unless you have a source showing CN has aquired it to air, then I don't see it coming to CN USA at all, especially since the new leaders at CN have said the don't like anime, which is one of the reasons we are getting more Canadian shows at this time. As fa as Bobobo, it did well enough where CN aquired and aired the entire series, so I wouldn't say it wasn't successful, and Zatch basically only struggled because of the long breaks they've given it.

if I'm not mistaken Cartoon network annouced that they had PPGZ at the same even in which Toonami was annouced to be over. A little over a month ago now.

As for that "rumor" they like anything that gives them good ratings. If an anime gave them the rating they wanted they would like it.

[Blackstar]

There's a widely spread rumor, though, that the CN execs don't like anime.

...And that's precisely what it is, an unfounded rumor. One that was started by angry anime fans who mostly try to scapegoat 3rd party acquisitions such as Total Drama Island and the You Are Here lineup as being the reasons why Toonami was canceled.

[veemonjosh]

Also, PPGZ has been rumored to come to CN USA now for 6 years, and it still isn't here.

...

PPGZ was announced back in 2005.

PPGZ didn't premiere in Japan until 2006.

PPGZ ended in 2007.

PPGZ started airing an english dub in other countries and got solid rumors for a US airing this year.

Explain to me how three years = six years.

[Racattack!Force]

Hmmm, it must have been school daze that caused me not to see that error during lunch.

[Lonestarr]

I saw "Dude of the Living Dead" in the TV listings and I felt like pinching myself. It's so nice to see "6teen" get another chance.

I get the strong feeling that more people will watch the special tomorrow night than all the people combined who watched the show on Nick.

[Mugen]

So, has CN been promoting the special?

[MasterofRoku]

So, has CN been promoting the special?
Yep...:D

No :sad:

But then again, they didn't advertise Frankenthumb either.

EDIT - Really, they have? If so, I haven't seen it.

[Light Lucario]

There's a widely spread rumor, though, that the CN execs don't like anime.

The key word here is rumor. Unless there's a press release statement from CN saying that they don't like anime, then it will only be a rumor and used by anime fans who still believe that Toonami died because of Canadian cartoons like TDI or some conspriacy theory.

I actually saw a promo for the special earlier today. It seemed pretty funny and I forgot about the look of the show too. Hopefully, the special won't be disappointing when I see it tomorrow.

[NayokoKihara]

Am I mistaken in thinking the same guy that does the voice acting for Chris on Total Drama Island, does the voice work for a character on 6teen? Or did my ears decieve me when I heard the commercial for the special?

You're right. Christian Potenza, who voices Chris in TDA, is also the voice of Jude in 6Teen.In addition, Megan Fahlenbock, who voices Gwen in TDI, is also the voice of Jen in 6teen. She's especially great in both shows even though her characters are very different.

And of course for the 6Teen ad cartoon network added from the makers of Total Drama Island. Which is the smart thing. Perdictable too.

Just saw the commercial touting it as coming to CN permanently starting in Nov. We'll see if it fares as well as TDI.

After getting a chance to check out the schedule, CN seems to be planning to show 6teen in random order. This is a HUGE mistake as, while it doesn't have regular episode to episode continuity, the relationships between the 6 main characters grow deeper as the show goes. It will be really hard for new viewers to appreciate the show fully if they don't show it in production order. Therefore, the ratings will more than likely suffer.

Please reconsider and show the eps in order, CN. You'll (and we'll) be glad you did.

Comments?

From what I can tell, there's *some* continuity to the whole show (or rather recurring plot threads)---airing it in random order sounds like confusion in the making to me. This assuming they actually air all of the episodes (a few of them not seeming like they'd pass Cartoon Network's censors' "standards").

Does anyone know what episodes of 6teen actually aired on Nickelodeon? I know it was only Season 1 ('cause I think Season 2 was premiering at the time in Canada), and I know certain episodes didn't air, for whatever reason.

It's kinda cool 6teen and Total Drama Island are airing together, even if not in the Har Har Tharsdays block. 4 pm and 10 pm weekdays... cool.

If anyone's curious, the 'premieres' scheduled so far, according to CN's schedule:
Mon, 11/3 - #8 Breaking Up with the Boss' Son
Tue, 11/4 - #12 The Girls in the Band
Wed, 11/5 - #18 The Swami
Thu, 11/6 - #26 Boo, Dude!
Fri, 11/7 - #19 Bring it On
Mon, 11/10 - #27 Going Underground
Tue, 11/11 - #28 Deadbeat Poets Society
Wed, 11/12 - #30 Fish and Make Up

So a week of Season One, then right into Season Two. Even more curious...

So a week of Season One, then right into Season Two. Even more curious...As usual, CN takes a step forward by airing this series, then takes (at least) a step back by not airing it in order. As I said before, the show needs to be aired in order to really appreciate how good it is. Viewers will no doubt be confused and the ratings will likely be lower because of it.

I may have missed some of the eps aired a few years agio on Nick and Nicktoons, but to the best of my recollection, here's the eps that they aired:

#1 - Take This Job and Squeeze It
#2 - The Big Sickie
#3 - The Slow and Even-Tempered
#4 - Deck The Mall
#5 - A Lime to Party
#6 - The Sushi Connection
#7 - The Five Finger Discount
#9 - Employee of the Month
#10 - Idol Time at the Mall
#14 - Clonesy
#16 - The Khaki Girl
#18 - The Swami
#19 - Bring It On
#20 - Cecil B. Delusioned

Wow...I guess they aired more than I remembered. Feel free to correct this list if I'm mistaken.

[Undrave]

They could AT LEAST start by...you know... AIRING THE FIRST EPISODE!!! *waves arm frantically* After that mix and match the first season if you absolutely think your better at story telling than the creators.

Schedule Update!

According to the new schedule (http://nickschedules.proboards52.com/index.cgi?board=cn2008tvsched&action=display&thread=2703)...

6teen will, in fact, be taking Johnny Test's spot on HHT!

Also, "Thumb Wrestling Federation Recap" airs Saturday at 11:30am! This might just replace DAS.

Good. One less Johnny Test airing for people to complain about. Now is CN would just cut down on the morning/afternoon/evening airings of Test also...
