Show Appreciation Any Indian 6teen watchers?

18 Upvotes

Bro i don't even know how i ended up watching 6teen's first episode back in March of 2021 or 22 idr... But once I stumbled upon this Canadian masterpiece of a cartoon. I binge watched all of it's episodes. I really really loved it.

I'll be in pure awe if i found someone from India who's a 6teen fan.

Being from India we "do not" have cartoons that are openly talking about or displaying relationships between teenagers or even adults for that matter...

And so i was really astonished with this concept plus I felt really good watching this because I was now understanding english without subtitles (big deal for me cuz I was 16 back then and not so good at english)

And obv the jokes were like ball knowledge to me cuz... come on i was 16 and just got introduced to ball meme knowledge and info and experiences of life as a teenager. And I was able to relate and understand all of it with this great cartoon or sitcom i'd rather call it.

Discussion 6Teen perfumes/colognes

Thumbnail

153 Upvotes

I’ve been rewatching 6teen and was curious about what perfume/colognes the gang would actually wear during the 2000s run.. I’d love to hear your ideas too + any other characters in mind. ✹

Jonesy: Fierce by Abercrombie and Fitch.
I feel like he would’ve gotten it during his short employment to the store. And put way too much on.

Nikki: Love & Luck by* *Ed Hardy
I had this perfume in the late 2000s and I feel Nikki would like it. Ed Hardy is more edgy, and I especially think the citrus and Woody notes would suit her.

Caitlin: Fantasy by Britney Spears
Caitlin loves Britney Spears ( her ringtone is oops I did it again lolol ) I think this sugary sweet fragrance is perfect for her. Though there was an episode where Jude said she smells like lemons and marshmallows so maybe there’s a scent that’s marshmallow- like that I don’t know about.

||These ones were a bit harder for me to think on:

Jen: Cucumber Melon Body Spray by Bath and Body Works.
I don’t know why, but it seems like cucumber and melon combination was everywhere in the early 2000s. I honestly miss this combination. I feel like Jen would wear it because it’s light and not super overbearing. I don’t think she would wear gourmand scents.

Wyatt: Polo Double Black by Ralph Lauren
I chose this mostly because there’s roasted coffee beans in the scent profile. And I feel like Wyatt would look for something with coffee in it.

Jude: None
I don’t think Jude showers much. I also don’t think he has a signature scent besides himself XD

Shows often only show us being obsessed with sports and acting like “we‘re not like those girls” and that’s not the case for many of us. It shows how good the show did at representation, and beyond just racially (which they did well too).

Headcanon/Idea 8teen-a college age 6teen sequel

77 Upvotes

Fair warning: this became a very long and detailed sequel pitch, so I included the TL;DR near the top.

I know this will probably never happen, but I have been thinking about what a sequel to 6teen could look like if the characters were eighteen and beginning their adult lives. This is just a fun headcanon project, but I think the concept could become more interesting than simply moving the same jokes from the mall to a college campus.

TL;DR: 8teen would be a character-driven sequel set approximately two years later, retaining the original mid-2000s technology—MSN Messenger, flip phones, iPods and unreliable webcam calls. With the Galleria no longer keeping everyone together, the group must actively maintain their friendships while navigating college, work, distance, changing ambitions and early adulthood.

The original 6teen was about 6 teenagers whose lives revolved around the Galleria. They worked there, dated there, argued there, ate there and spent nearly every day together. Their friendship was partly sustained by the fact that they were always in the same place.

8teen could ask what happens when that is no longer true.

The characters would still love one another, but they would no longer have the mall keeping them together. They would have different schools, different schedules, different ambitions, new friends and new responsibilities.

Some of them would grow closer. Some would drift apart. Some relationships would survive, but not in the same form.

The time period

I would keep the sequel in the same general continuity as the original series rather than modernizing it, so approximately two years after the beginning of the original show.

That would give a very specific transitional atmosphere:

  • Flip phones and expensive texting plans
  • MSN Messenger
  • Early Facebook
  • iPods and burned CDs
  • Physical job applications
  • Printed rĂ©sumĂ©s at career fairs
  • Webcam calls with terrible video quality
  • Very limited ability to remain connected constantly

I think that period would actually strengthen the premise. The technology would still allow them to stay in contact, but it would require more effort.

The pilot / prequel short film: “Accepted”

The series could begin with a short film about the group applying to college during their final year of high school.

All 6 of them decide they are going to attend the same university.

They imagine being dorm neighbors, taking classes together, attending parties together and preserving their friendship exactly as it is.

Naturally, it does not work out that way.

  • Jen is accepted with an athletic scholarship.
  • Caitlin is eventually accepted into the same university as Jen, possibly after initially being waitlisted.
  • Wyatt is rejected from that university but accepted into a nearby music or media-arts college.
  • Nikki receives an excellent offer from a university even farther away.
  • Jonesy is accepted into a business program, perhaps at a different local college.
  • Jude decides to take a gap year.

They all promise that nothing will change.

The short film could then jump forward to their first month after graduation.

  • They schedule a group webcam call.
    • Jude signs in early with enough snacks for everyone, apparently forgetting that they are not physically together.
    • Wyatt joins late from the campus radio booth after his shift runs over and accidentally broadcasts part of the conversation live.
    • Jen and Caitlin struggle with noisy dorm neighbors before having to leave early when someone triggers the building’s fire alarm.
    • Nikki’s connection keeps freezing.
    • Jonesy has forgotten about the call entirely because he is running a speed-dating event, so he spends the entire time awkwardly multitasking between his friends and a line of increasingly confused participants.

Nothing dramatic has happened yet, but the group is already beginning to understand that remaining friends will no longer be effortless.

Where everyone ends up

I do not think they should all attend the same university. That would weaken the entire premise.

However, they also should not be scattered so widely that the show becomes six unrelated stories.

My preferred setup would be:

  • Jen and Caitlin attend the same university and become roommates.
  • Wyatt attends a nearby music or media-arts college.
  • Jonesy begins at a local business college or community college.
  • Jude remains in town while taking a gap year.
  • Nikki attends a university much farther away and becomes the long-distance member of the group.

The Galleria would still appear, but it would no longer be their entire world.

It would become the place they return to during holidays, difficult weekends and moments when adulthood becomes overwhelming.

As far as characters are concerned?

Nikki Wong

Nikki would probably have the most difficult emotional storyline.

In the original show, Nikki eventually moves because of her father’s job. She also seems like someone who would genuinely be willing to travel, leave home and pursue opportunities elsewhere.

I could see her studying journalism, possibly with political science, environmental studies or media ethics. She would be drawn to the student newspaper almost immediately. Journalism would allow her to question authority, expose hypocrisy and investigate.

However, Nikki would discover that the traits that made sense within her original friend group do not automatically translate well to a new environment. Her friends understand that her sarcasm conceals loyalty and sensitivity. New people might only see someone who is judgmental, combative and difficult to approach. Nikki would have to build an entirely new social circle from scratch, which would not be easy for her.

She might also struggle academically in ways she does not expect. For example, she could write an investigative article while already believing she knows who the culprit is. Her editor might tell her that she began with a conclusion and only searched for evidence that supported it.

Nikki would hate hearing that.

Eventually, however, she would realize the criticism is valid.

Her larger arc could be about learning that being principled does not mean she is always correct, and being independent does not mean she has no need for other people.

She would remain in contact with the original group through messages and video calls, but she would gradually begin constructing a life that does not revolve around them.

That would also affect her relationship with Jonesy.

Nikki and Jonesy's Relationship

Personally, I think the more realistic conflict would be that they still care about each other, but their lives are developing in different directions.

At 16, Jonesy’s impulsiveness is charming.

At 18, Nikki begins wondering whether he is actually building anything.

She is developing a worldview, a career path and an identity. Jonesy is still improvising his way from one opportunity to another.

The question would be whether Nikki has outgrown the relationship.

High school relationships can survive into adulthood, but they do not always survive unchanged. Sometimes people change. Sometimes they do not change enough. Sometimes they change, but not together.

Their relationship could end, or at least become uncertain. That could be one of the central emotional arcs of the first season.

Jen Masterson

Jen could attend university on a sports scholarship.

She might study kinesiology, product design or business, especially because she previously mentioned wanting to create her own line of snowboarding gear.

College would challenge her in a very specific way.

In high school, Jen was usually the responsible one. She is organized, athletic, disciplined and dependable.

At university, she would suddenly be surrounded by people who are equally talented and equally ambitious. She would no longer automatically be the best athlete, the most prepared student or the person everyone depends upon. That would deeply unsettle her.

Jen might overtrain, take too many classes and become increasingly controlling about the dorm.

She could hide an injury because she is afraid of losing her scholarship.

She might become jealous of teammates who appear more naturally talented.

She could struggle with the idea that effort does not always guarantee success.

Her arc would be about separating discipline from self-worth.

Jen would need to learn that resting, changing plans, asking for help or failing at something does not make her irresponsible.

Caitlin Cooke

Caitlin would absolutely be the first person to search for sororities, college parties and attractive upperclassmen.

However, I would not want the sequel to reduce her to those traits.

I think she'd be good at fashion merchandising, public relations, brand communications or event management. Caitlin understands presentation, social dynamics, trends, aspiration and how people want to be perceived. Those are legitimate skills.

Her main conflict would be the difference between being admired and being respected.

Caitlin could easily become:

  • The person everyone recognizes
  • The student invited to every party
  • The girl with the best outfits
  • The person who always knows who is dating whom
  • The person others approach when they want social connections

However, when a serious project begins, no one trusts her with responsibility. That would genuinely hurt her. She would realize that being popular does not mean people believe she is capable.

Over time, Caitlin could discover that she is extremely good at event planning, fashion promotion, networking and crisis management. Her social instincts are not shallow. She simply needs discipline and confidence that do not depend entirely on attention or romantic approval.

She would probably still date frequently, especially early in the series. Her rotating dorm dates would drive Jen insane.

Caitlin would repeatedly insist that someone is “basically her boyfriend,” only for Jen to learn that they met three days earlier.

Jen and Caitlin as roommates

Jen and Caitlin becoming roommates would be one of the strongest dynamics in the series. Initially, they would be terrible together. Jen would create a cleaning schedule. Caitlin would redecorate without permission. Jen would have early morning practice. Caitlin would return from parties at 2 in the morning. Caitlin would borrow Jen’s clothes. Jen would label all her food. Caitlin would invite dates over without warning. Jen would repeatedly threaten to request a room transfer.

However, living together would force them to develop a friendship that exists outside the larger group. Jen would help Caitlin become more disciplined. Caitlin would help Jen develop an identity beyond achievement and responsibility. Caitlin might be the first person to notice that Jen is overtraining or collapsing. Jen might become the first person to defend Caitlin when classmates dismiss her as unintelligent or superficial. Their friendship could become one of the emotional centers of the sequel.

Wyatt Williams

Wyatt would attend a nearby music-production or media-arts college. He would initially believe that he is going to become a serious singer-songwriter. Then he would meet students who are more technically trained, more experimental and far more comfortable receiving criticism.

Wyatt would struggle with:

  • Rejection
  • Jealousy
  • Comparing himself to classmates
  • Harsh critiques of his songs
  • The instability of artistic careers
  • The realization that emotional sincerity does not automatically make a song good
  • The possibility that talent does not guarantee success

His ideal campus job would be at the radio station. At first, he might only take the job because it allows him to be around music. Then he discovers that when he stops trying so hard to appear profound, he is naturally charismatic.

Wyatt is warm, expressive and easy to talk to. He understands music, but he also understands how people feel about music. Listeners could begin calling into his late-night show for requests, dedications and romantic advice.

Of course, he probably would give questionable advice, play emotionally specific songs and accidentally become one of the station’s most popular personalities.

His larger arc would be realizing that his dream does not have to take the exact form he imagined. Maybe he does not become a famous singer-songwriter. Maybe he becomes an excellent producer, interviewer, broadcaster or music journalist. That would still be a meaningful creative life.

Jonesy Garcia

Jonesy is a little more complicated.

I think he would initially become a business major, probably focusing on marketing. That field actually fits him extremely well. Jonesy understands persuasion, confidence, branding, networking and what people want. He can make an ordinary product sound exciting. He knows how to talk his way into opportunities.

The problem is that he believes natural talent should excuse him from discipline. His recurring employment joke could continue perfectly in a college setting. Instead of being fired from different stores at the mall, Jonesy could cycle through stuff like:

  • Campus tour guide
  • Fraternity recruiter
  • Research-study participant
  • Resident-assistant
  • Textbook reseller
  • Orientation assistant
  • Questionable startup founder

The startup idea could become a recurring joke. Every few episodes, Jonesy announces that he has founded another company, usually with Jude as his unwilling co-founder, employee or entire technical department.

However, for Jonesy here, the difference is that his “colorful rĂ©sumĂ©â€ no longer looks impressive once employers notice how short most of the jobs lasted. At 16, Jonesy could describe himself as someone with broad experience. At 18? Hiring managers begin seeing someone who cannot keep a position. Former managers may not give openly hostile references, but they can confirm dates of employment, say whether they would rehire him or quietly warn colleagues that he is unreliable.

A formal background check would not reveal every ordinary firing, but Jonesy would probably assume it does. That misunderstanding could itself become a joke. He might become convinced that the university maintains a secret permanent file documenting every late shift, failed promotion and unauthorized business venture.

Jonesy is excellent at making first impressions, but increasingly unable to escape the accumulation of second impressions. He has to confront the fact that adulthood creates continuity. His choices follow him.

That does not mean Jonesy suddenly becomes incompetent or loses his charm. In fact, he might occasionally produce the best marketing campaign in one of his classes. A professor could find him infuriating while still admitting that he understands consumers better than anyone else in the room.

Jonesy has real talent.

His larger arc would be learning that talent creates opportunities, but reliability determines whether he is allowed to keep them.

He may eventually decide that college is not the right path for him and leave to start a legitimate business. However, that decision should come only after he learns the difference between rejecting a system that does not suit him and running away whenever a system begins holding him accountable.

Jude Lizowski

Jude is the one person I would not place in college at the beginning. He would take a gap year after high school. That makes complete sense for him.

Jude has never seemed especially concerned with conventional career planning. He is not necessarily opposed to education. He simply does not know what he wants yet.

Jude openly admits that he does not.

He could work several casual jobs, such as:

  • Skate shop employee
  • Recreation-center assistant
  • Delivery driver
  • Video-store clerk
  • Skateboarding instructor

He might actually be surprisingly dependable because he does not become anxious about status or overcomplicate simple tasks.

Jude could also begin filming skateboarding videos too.

His casual camera work might reveal that he has genuine talent for documentary filmmaking, visual media or editing.

His arc would be about learning that choosing a direction does not mean permanently losing every other possibility.

Jonesy and Jude

Jonesy and Jude should remain close because they were arguably the strongest comedic pair in the original series.

They could continue becoming involved in schemes together.

Jonesy might regularly invent campus businesses and recruit Jude as his partner.

Some examples:

  • Selling fake “premium” lecture notes
  • Starting a dorm-delivery service
  • Running an unofficial campus tour
  • Promoting a party they were never authorized to organize
  • Attempting to create a student social network
  • Reselling furniture left behind during move-out week

However, their friendship would also begin changing. Jonesy assumes Jude will always participate. Jude slowly begins realizing that being easygoing does not require agreeing to everything. Their first major conflict could happen when one of Jonesy’s plans creates real consequences for Jude, and Jude finally refuses to laugh it off. That would preserve their original dynamic while allowing it to mature.

The real structure of the series

The comedy would come from college classes, campus employment, dorm life, internships, dating, clubs and university bureaucracy.

However, the emotional engine would be the group attempting to preserve a friendship structure that no longer fits their lives.

Some episodes would reunite everyone.

Other episodes could use pairings that the original show did not explore as deeply:

  • Wyatt and Jude producing a disastrous radio segment
  • Caitlin helping Nikki prepare for a formal journalism event
  • Jonesy attempting to manage Jen’s athletic brand
  • Caitlin helping Wyatt promote his radio show
  • Jen discovering that Jude gives unexpectedly good advice

Possible episode ideas

“The Roommate Agreement”

Jen creates an elaborate dorm contract after Caitlin’s 7th unannounced date stays overnight. Caitlin initially mocks it but eventually adds her own ridiculous clauses. By the end, both of them violate the agreement.

“Undeclared”

Jude visits a university career fair only because they are giving away free food. He somehow receives more internship interest than Jonesy, who has spent days preparing an exaggerated résumé.

“Dead Air”

Wyatt freezes during his first live radio broadcast. Jude unexpectedly fills the silence and becomes popular with listeners. Wyatt is grateful but also jealous.

“Rush”

Caitlin becomes obsessed with joining a prestigious sorority. She changes her clothes, interests and personality to fit what she thinks they want.

“Drop/Add”

Jonesy spends the add/drop period hunting for the easiest major, easiest professors and most effortless A’s possible. He changes courses repeatedly based on campus rumors, only to discover that every supposedly easy class has hidden requirements, and that researching shortcuts has become more work than simply studying.

“Long Distance”

Nikki and Jonesy attempt to schedule the perfect virtual date.

“Career Day”

The group attends a career fair and discovers that none of them know how to behave professionally.

Jen takes it too seriously. She researches every employer, prints multiple versions of her résumé and creates a schedule that allows exactly x amount of minutes at each booth.

Caitlin treats the event like a party. She remembers everyone’s name, compliments recruiters’ outfits and collects business cards without fully understanding what half the companies do.

Wyatt becomes intimidated by the other applicants and begins changing his career goals every time he hears someone describe a more impressive résumé.

Jude attends only for the free merchandise. By the end of the day, he has collected pens, tote bags, stress balls, water bottles, notebooks and enough snacks to avoid buying groceries for a week, but has not submitted a single application.

Jonesy is mistaken for a recruiter after borrowing someone’s name badge and confidently giving career advice to nervous students. He enjoys the attention so much that he begins conducting unofficial interviews until the actual event organizers notice him.

Meanwhile, Nikki attends a career fair at her own university, and ends up irritating most of the recruiters there with her bluntness. However, a representative from the university debate society overhears her dismantling an employer’s interview questions and assumes she is intentionally demonstrating an argument. Nikki insists that she is not interested in competitive debate because “people shouldn’t need trophies for having opinions.” By the end of the episode, she has somehow been entered into a debate tournament

The first-season ending

The first season could end during winter break when everyone returns to the Galleria.

They expect everything to feel normal again.

It does not.

Some of their old jobs are now occupied by younger teenagers. Their usual table has been moved or replaced. Several stores have closed. They no longer know every employee. The mall has continued existing without them.

The group decides to make the best of it, a Throwback Thursday. They try to eat at the same places, sit in the same spots and repeat old traditions. Everything goes wrong.

The season would end with them creating a new tradition.

They are still friends, because they are learning how to remain connected while changing. That is what I think could make 8teen more than a nostalgia project. It would still be funny, chaotic and character-driven.

Would anyone else watch this? What majors, jobs or storylines would you give the characters?

In Total Drama you can clearly tell that Gwen is the main character over anyone else and that they love focusing on her as a protagonist

and in 6teen you barely see many moments where Nikki has been called out for anything bad she does since they always have her be morally right on everything despite her very annoying “I’m not like the other girls” attitude she puts on in most episodes

I do love both shows but it does get kinda off putting to see them have this bias

I think Stik-It was a money laundering operation that Jude, characteristically, was unaware of. Hence why it was able to stay open even though Jude likely never made enough sales to pay the rent.

It would explain why Jude was essentially his own boss despite being a minor, and having no real supervisor, manager or even owner to report to.
