Renzetti pitched the series to Frederator Studios' animated shorts showcase '']'' and a pilot titled "My Neighbor Was a Teenage Robot", which aired on December 4, 1999.<ref name="Frederator" /> Viewer approval ratings led to the commissioning of a half-hour series, which premiered on August 1, 2003; after airing its first two seasons, the series was on a 3-year hiatus starting on October 17, 2005. The completed third season eventually aired on Nickelodeon's spinoff network ] from October 4, 2008, until ending its run on May 2, 2009. The series totals up to three seasons, consisting of 13 to 14 episodes each.
'''''My Life as a Teenage Robot''''' is an ] ], produced by ] for the ] cable channel.


==Overview==
MLaaTR (as abbreviated) stars a 6-foot tall ] girl named XJ-9, but she likes to call herself "Jenny". "Jenny" lives in the town of Tremorton, in the year of ]. "Jenny" likes to go to the ], fit in at ], and hang out with her friends Brad and Tuck, instead of saving the world. Her creator (a.k.a. mom) Mrs. Wakeman wants her to stay away from the human race, even teenagers. Brad likes what "Jenny" does, but his brother, Tuck, doesn't care for action. When "Jenny" is at high school, she would chill with the Krust Cousins, Brit and Tiff, who secretly do not like her. Also, a boy named Sheldon would stare at "Jenny" for hours, (he's in love with her) but "Jenny" loves a robot named the Silver Shell (he was created by Sheldon, who controlled him from inside like the Power Rangers' ]s), but then later disliked him for being a spy. ] also do not like "Jenny" for being what she is. "Jenny" also has a problem with the Cluster (an evil robot clan ruled by another robot named ], voiced by ]), because they want to get "Jenny" to be part of the Cluster. So "Jenny" can't get her life evened out, but she does what she can.
''My Life as a Teenage Robot'' is set in the fictional town of Tremorton and focuses on making lighthearted fun of typical teenage issues and conventions of works relating to teenagers and superheroes. The series follows XJ-9 ("Jenny Wakeman", as she prefers to be called), who is a highly sophisticated state-of-the-art ] ] automaton robot girl created by her mother Dr. Nora Wakeman, an elderly robotics scientist, five years before the series. Jenny is Earth's protector, armed with a wide range of weapons and devices, but simply wants to live the life of a normal teenager. She was preceded in development by eight other models; in season 1, the episode "Sibling Tsunami" introduced XJs 1–8.


Jenny's friends are her neighbors Brad and Tuck Carbuckle. Brad is outgoing and adventurous, and is the first human friend Jenny makes, while Tuck is Brad's rambunctious younger brother who usually tags along on adventures. Another one of her friends is Sheldon Lee, a somewhat stereotypical nerd who is obsessed with her. Jenny often rejects his romantic advances, but still cares for him as a friend.
The series was based on the '']'' short "My Neighbor was a Teenage Robot" and was created by ]. This show first aired on ], ]. It has never come to ] on its own, but was often paired with other ]s, like '']'' on compilation DVD's.


At high school, Jenny has an ongoing rivalry with the Crust cousins, Brit (voiced by ]) and Tiff (voiced by ]), the popular girls in school. Dr. Wakeman often tries in vain to control her creation and keep her daughter focused on protecting the planet Earth. Adding to her trouble is that she is constantly being dogged by the all-robotic Cluster Empire, whose queen, Vexus (voiced by ]) and sometimes Commander Smytus (voiced by ]) or Krackus (voiced by ]), wants her to join their world of robots (by force if necessary). Despite it all, Jenny struggles to maintain some semblance of a mostly human life.

The special of the series, "Escape from Cluster Prime", shows that the alien planet is actually a peaceful paradise for every kind of robot. It's also revealed that Vexus has made Jenny out to be a villain because of her constant refusals to join, branding her responsible for destroying the missing components that allow robots to transform, while they are truly hidden by Vexus, to control the population.


==Characters== ==Characters==
*Jennifer "Jenny" Wakeman (Robotic Global Response Unit Model No. XJ-9) (voiced by ]) is a sentient XJ-series ] ] ] created by Dr. Noreen Wakeman five years prior to the series, along with her half-done prototype predecessor sisters colored blue, green and violet. Though she was designed to be Earth's protector armed to the teeth with a wide range of weapons, devices and transformations, she desires to live the life of a normal teenager and often makes this covet quite apparent to her friends. Jenny's personality is often kind, friendly, sweet, and optimistic, though this also comes with being rather naïve to her surroundings.
===Jenny Wakeman, AKA Global Robot Response Unit XJ-9===
*Dr. Noreen "Nora" Wakeman (voiced by ]) is an elderly robotics scientist who built the XJ robots. She is often simply referred to as "Mother" or "Mom" by Jenny and her sisters.
]<span id=Jenny Wakeman></span>'''"Jenny" XJ-9 Wakeman''' (]) is the teenage female superhero robot created by Mrs. Wakeman, and called Jenny Wakeman at her high school. She was built to save the world from evil. However, she has ] and frequently rebels against her creator, in a manner typical of modern ]s.
*Bradley "Brad" Carbuckle (voiced by ]) is Tuck's older brother and Jenny's best friend and next-door neighbor. He is outgoing and adventurous, and is the first friend Jenny ever made.
*'''Actual name:''' Global Robot Response Unit XJ-9
*Tucker "Tuck" Cornelius Carbuckle (voiced by ]) is Brad's younger brother. He is usually tagging along with his brother and Jenny, though his aptitude for adventure is significantly less than Brad's.
*'''Age:''' She was built 5 years ago, but she's designed as a ].
*Sheldon Oswald Lee (voiced by ]) is Jenny's self-proclaimed romantic admirer. Jenny refuses his romantic advances, though she does care for him as a close friend. Being skilled in robotics, Sheldon has created gadgets and modifications for Jenny, usually very unnecessarily bulky and extravagant, as well as done minor repair work. He also occasionally masquerades as a robot superhero, the "Silver Shell".
*'''Description:''' She is 6 feet (1.82 m) tall, she has blue pigtails, with bolts connecting from her head to pigtails, blue hair, white skin, blue clothes, she has a tank top and bottom, a belly bolt (a bolt that simulates a belly button), feet that mix with the shoes, arms with lines in the middle, hands with 4 fingers that have holes in the center, no ears, and a "false nose".

===Nora Wakeman=== ==Episodes==
{{Main|List of My Life as a Teenage Robot episodes}}
<span id=Nora Wakeman></span>'''Nora Wakeman''' (]) - Jenny's creator and overprotective mother figure. The relationship is assymmetric: Nora repeatedly calls the robot "XJ-9", whereas Jenny always addresses her as "Mother" or "Mom". She is most disapproving of her daughter's attempts to 'fit in' with society, and would rather the family keep to themselves. She is literally "with Jenny every minute" as Jenny has a computer screen in her chest that allows communication with Mrs. Wakeman. Sick of this, Jenny has since found a way to screw up communications between her and her mother.

===Brad and Tuck Carbunkle===
{{more citations needed section|date=October 2022}}
<span id=Brad and Tuck Carbunkle></span>'''Brad and Tuck Carbunkle''' (], ]) - Jenny's next door neighbors, and best friends (Brad is the older brother, Tuck the younger). Brad is voiced by ] in the ] pilot.
] moved from ] to ] to develop his own ideas as part of ]'s and ]' '']''. At Nickelodeon, he developed a pilot called "My Neighbor Was a Teenage Robot", which was the basis for the series. After brief stints working on '']'', '']'', '']'', '']'', and '']'', Renzetti returned to Nickelodeon to start the ''Teenage Robot'' series.


Renzetti made 11 shorts during two seasons as a director on ''Oh Yeah! Cartoons''. Five of these starred two characters called ] and followed the adventures of a rambunctious little girl and her vampire best friend. He hoped that these characters might get their own series, but ] rejected the idea. Faced with an empty slot where the sixth Mina short was slated to go, ] tasked Renzetti to come up with three new ideas. One of these was about a teenage girl whose boyfriend was a robot. After further thought, Renzetti merged the two characters to create Jenny, a robot with the personality of a teenage girl.
===Brit and Tiff Krust===
]<span id=Brit and Tiff Krust></span>'''Brit and Tiff Krust''' (], ]) - The popular kids at school (Brit is the tall black one and Tiff is the short white one).

In March 2002, Nickelodeon ordered 13 episodes of the series.

"Jenny" was first invited to The Cluster in a very friendly way. Now, she is ambushed by its queen, Vexus, to join The Cluster. Vexus is not easy to point out, she comes in forms of humans and other robots. When she comes out of her disguise, she is a robot that looks similar to a ] and she always addresses "Jenny" as Jennifer. When she is defeated, Vexus slashes something (usually electronical) and turns into the portal to Cluster. When "Jenny" opens it again, it is no longer the portal to The Cluster. The Cluster is a place where robots live and make plans to make the human race their ]s, as she feels the robots of the universe have suffered "discrimination" and "unequal treatment" by humans. And one of the uses for human slave labor is to make "Clustard", a frozen yogurt treat concocted by the Clusterians. So far, they only took control of Jenny twice. Many more attempts to ensnare her will occur.

Oh Yeah! Cartoons

My Life as a Teenage Robot is an American animated science fiction superhero comedy television series created by Rob Renzetti for Nickelodeon. It was produced by Frederator Studios and Nickelodeon Animation Studio. Set in the fictional town of Tremorton, the series follows the adventures of a robot super-heroine named XJ-9, or Jenny Wakeman, as she prefers to be called, who attempts to juggle her duties of protecting Earth while trying to live a normal human life as a teenage girl.

Renzetti pitched the series to Frederator Studios' animated shorts showcase Oh Yeah! Cartoons and a pilot titled "My Neighbor Was a Teenage Robot", which aired on December 4, 1999. Viewer approval ratings led to the commissioning of a half-hour series, which premiered on August 1, 2003; after airing its first two seasons, the series was on a 3-year hiatus starting on October 17, 2005. The completed third season eventually aired on Nickelodeon's spinoff network Nicktoons from October 4, 2008, until ending its run on May 2, 2009. The series totals up to three seasons, consisting of 13 to 14 episodes each.

Overview

My Life as a Teenage Robot is set in the fictional town of Tremorton and focuses on making lighthearted fun of typical teenage issues and conventions of works relating to teenagers and superheroes. The series follows XJ-9 ("Jenny Wakeman", as she prefers to be called), who is a highly sophisticated state-of-the-art sentient gynoid automaton robot girl created by her mother Dr. Nora Wakeman, an elderly robotics scientist, five years before the series. Jenny is Earth's protector, armed with a wide range of weapons and devices, but simply wants to live the life of a normal teenager. She was preceded in development by eight other models; in season 1, the episode "Sibling Tsunami" introduced XJs 1–8.

Jenny's friends are her neighbors Brad and Tuck Carbuckle. Brad is outgoing and adventurous, and is the first human friend Jenny makes, while Tuck is Brad's rambunctious younger brother who usually tags along on adventures. Another one of her friends is Sheldon Lee, a somewhat stereotypical nerd who is obsessed with her. Jenny often rejects his romantic advances, but still cares for him as a friend.

At high school, Jenny has an ongoing rivalry with the Crust cousins, Brit (voiced by Moira Quirk) and Tiff (voiced by Cree Summer), the popular girls in school. Dr. Wakeman often tries in vain to control her creation and keep her daughter focused on protecting the planet Earth. Adding to her trouble is that she is constantly being dogged by the all-robotic Cluster Empire, whose queen, Vexus (voiced by Eartha Kitt) and sometimes Commander Smytus (voiced by Steve Blum) or Krackus (voiced by Jim Ward), wants her to join their world of robots (by force if necessary). Despite it all, Jenny struggles to maintain some semblance of a mostly human life.

The special of the series, "Escape from Cluster Prime", shows that the alien planet is actually a peaceful paradise for every kind of robot. It's also revealed that Vexus has made Jenny out to be a villain because of her constant refusals to join, branding her responsible for destroying the missing components that allow robots to transform, while they are truly hidden by Vexus, to control the population.

Characters

  • Jennifer "Jenny" Wakeman (Robotic Global Response Unit Model No. XJ-9) (voiced by Janice Kawaye) is a sentient XJ-series gynoid automaton humanoid created by Dr. Noreen Wakeman five years prior to the series, along with her half-done prototype predecessor sisters colored blue, green and violet. Though she was designed to be Earth's protector armed to the teeth with a wide range of weapons, devices and transformations, she desires to live the life of a normal teenager and often makes this covet quite apparent to her friends. Jenny's personality is often kind, friendly, sweet, and optimistic, though this also comes with being rather naïve to her surroundings.
  • Dr. Noreen "Nora" Wakeman (voiced by Candi Milo) is an elderly robotics scientist who built the XJ robots. She is often simply referred to as "Mother" or "Mom" by Jenny and her sisters.
  • Bradley "Brad" Carbuckle (voiced by Chad Doreck) is Tuck's older brother and Jenny's best friend and next-door neighbor. He is outgoing and adventurous, and is the first friend Jenny ever made.
  • Tucker "Tuck" Cornelius Carbuckle (voiced by Audrey Wasilewski) is Brad's younger brother. He is usually tagging along with his brother and Jenny, though his aptitude for adventure is significantly less than Brad's.
  • Sheldon Oswald Lee (voiced by Quinton Flynn) is Jenny's self-proclaimed romantic admirer. Jenny refuses his romantic advances, though she does care for him as a close friend. Being skilled in robotics, Sheldon has created gadgets and modifications for Jenny, usually very unnecessarily bulky and extravagant, as well as done minor repair work. He also occasionally masquerades as a robot superhero, the "Silver Shell".

Rob Renzetti moved from Cartoon Network to Nickelodeon to develop his own ideas as part of Fred Seibert's and Frederator Studios' Oh Yeah! Cartoons. At Nickelodeon, he developed a pilot called "My Neighbor Was a Teenage Robot", which was the basis for the series. After brief stints working on Family Guy, The Powerpuff Girls, Time Squad, Whatever Happened to... Robot Jones?, and Samurai Jack, Renzetti returned to Nickelodeon to start the Teenage Robot series.

Renzetti made 11 shorts during two seasons as a director on Oh Yeah! Cartoons. Five of these starred two characters called Mina and the Count and followed the adventures of a rambunctious little girl and her vampire best friend. He hoped that these characters might get their own series, but Nickelodeon rejected the idea. Faced with an empty slot where the sixth Mina short was slated to go, Fred Seibert tasked Renzetti to come up with three new ideas. One of these was about a teenage girl whose boyfriend was a robot. After further thought, Renzetti merged the two characters to create Jenny, a robot with the personality of a teenage girl.

In March 2002, Nickelodeon ordered 13 episodes of the series. The series was initially called "My Neighbor Was a Teenage Robot" before settling on its final title.

Cancellation

The show's crew revealed on their blog on October 17, 2005, that the show would be cancelled, and that the third season would be the last: "The executives love the show but the ratings aren't good enough for them to give us more episodes." The series wrapped production in April 2006. Following the series' cancellation, Renzetti returned to Cartoon Network Studios, working on Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and The Cartoonstitute, before moving on to the Disney Channel to become supervising producer for Gravity Falls. The third season aired on Nicktoons from October 2008 to May 2009, officially concluding the broadcast of the series in the United States.

Broadcast and home media

Nickelodeon premiered My Life as a Teenage Robot on August 1, 2003, at 8:30 PM EST. The show was a part of Nickelodeon's Friday night programming block called Friday Night Nicktoons in Fall 2003, and briefly was a part of the TEENick lineup in 2004 to June 2005. The first season ended on February 27, 2004, with "The Wonderful World of Wizzly / Call Hating".

The second season premiered on December 8, 2004, with the Christmas episode "A Robot For All Seasons". Another new episode was not aired until January 24, 2005. In the second season, a 48-minute, two-part TV movie titled "Escape from Cluster Prime" (which was nominated for an Emmy in 2006) aired.

Since the series' cancellation, reruns continued to air on Nicktoons until April 14, 2013. However, it started airing again on December 13, 2015, lasting until May 15, 2016. From March 2021 to January 2022, reruns of the series aired on TeenNick during its NickRewind block.

In 2021, the entire series was available for streaming on Paramount+. The series was removed from the streaming service on December 23, 2024.

The episodes "See No Evil", "The Great Unwashed", "Future Shock", "A Robot For All Seasons", "Hostile Makeover", and "Grid Iron Glory" were released on Nick Picks DVD compilations. As of December 12, 2011, seasons 1, 2, and 3 are available on DVD exclusive to Amazon.com in region 1. The full series was released across six discs by Beyond Home Entertainment in Australia on February 5, 2012.

Reception

Critical reception

Sean Aitchison from CBR wrote positively of the show stating, "Aside from the look of the show, My Life as a Teenage Robot had a fun premise that made for some great action comedy storytelling, and it definitely holds up . Though the show's depiction of teendom is somewhat outdated, the cliches actually end up working in favor of the humor. Though there's not a lot of story progression throughout the series, My Life as a Teenage Robot is still a whole lot of fun." Joly Herman of Common Sense Media wrote more negatively of the show, saying that, "Though it looks cool and has an upbeat energy, the show can be a bit of a drag. Some kids may enjoy it for the mindless entertainment it intends to be, but know that there are much better uses of a free half-hour."
