The Weekenders

The series, created by Doug Langdale, made its debut in 2000 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 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.
