I watch very little TV at all anymore, as most of the time I used to spend in front of the telly, I now spend in front of a computer. My DW is the couch potato of the household; and if it hadn't been for that, I might never have become aware of TDI. (I don't think I need to belabor what that would have meant to you guys.) I had heard of 6Teen, but I don't watch Nickelodeon, so I didn't know that 6Teen was available in the States until it came to CN on TDI's coattails. My DW and I both like it, for most of the same reasons that we liked TDI, i.e. it's generally well-written and we're both longtime animation fans.

We never watched Stoked because the premise didn't appeal to us, although I'm prepared to believe that it, too, is well-written. It's just that kids at a surfing resort isn't really something we can relate to, whereas kids hanging out at a mall is much more universally relateable.
