6teen is an animated Canadian sitcom created and directed by Jennifer Pertsch and Tom McGillis for Teletoon as one of its original productions. It is set in the fictional "Galleria Shopping Mall", and follows an ensemble cast of six sixteen-year-old friends as they explore their first part-time jobs and lives as teenagers. The show has been dubbed in French in the Canadian province of Quebec and is currently airing on Télétoon (the French language alter-ego of Teletoon). The show has also recently began re-airing in the United States on Cartoon Network after having been dropped from Nickelodeon. Nickelodeon originally brought the series to the US via Nick.com's TurboNick and then to its television channel before dropping the series altogether. Currently, Studio 23 in the Philippines is also airing the show every Sunday at 6pm. The show is also aired in Poland, Finland, Israel and Belgium. Also aired in Russia on 2x2. In Australia it has been a huge hit on ABC2.

Since its debut on November 4, 2004, the program has aired seventy-eight episodes over three seasons, as well as two one-hour specials. The finale to season three aired on April 25, 2008.

A Nelvana Limited production, the series' characters are voiced by young Canadian actors, and the show continues to draw positive response, with critical reception from sources like the Pucinella Awards and the Alliance for Children and Television.

6teen is produced by Nelvana Limited, and created and directed through the use of a 2D digital software package known as Harmony, which was developed by the Toon Boom animation studio in Montreal. Because this software ensures smoother animation and eliminates the need for black trace lines, the program can be fashioned entirely on computer without the use of paper.

The style of writing on 6teen is aimed at preteens and teens. 6teen is scripted by a team of writers which includes series creators and directors Jennifer Pertsch and Tom McGillis, Sean Cullen (The Sean Cullen Show), Terry McGurrin ("Comedy Inc - Canadian TV Series" as well as the voice of George Westerholm on This Hour Has 22 Minutes). To formulate ideas regarding subject matter, Pertsch and McGillis interviewed students and took regular trips to the Eaton Centre in Toronto to observe teenage behavior. On the subject of their work, McGillis concludes:

"Our biggest goal was to connect with our audience. What surprised us was not the fact that kids were watching adult sitcoms, but why they were watching them. They recognize and appreciate smart writing. So, although 6teen's subject matter is aimed at kids, the writing style is classic sitcom, with fast-paced dialogue, and multiple plot lines."

Principal characters were designed by Faruk Cemalovic.

Original music is composed by Don Breithaupt and Anthony Vanderburgh.

The original working title for this series was The Mall, before finally settling with 6teen.

There are seven main cast members who voice 6teen. Brooke D'Orsay performs the voice of Caitlin, while Stacey DePass performs the voice of Nikki. Megan Fahlenbock plays Jen, Jess Gibbons voices Wyatt, and Terry McGurrin and Christian Potenza take the roles of Jonesy and Jude, respectively. Jamie Watson provides the voices of Coach Halder and Ron the Rent-a-cop.

DNA are the composers who do all the music, including the theme song, for 6teen. That's their band name. Anthony and Don (the D and the A, hense "D n' A") are the guys responsible for the awesome songs. Nelvana has plans to put out a CD one of these days with all the songs on it, so watch out for it! It is also available on Teletoon's "Toontrax2."
