I love cartoons. I love robots. Naturally, I love cartoons with robots….even GIRL robots. My Life As A Teenage Robot is a Nickelodeon cartoon that has been around since 2003, whose primary character is a “female” teenage robot. XJ9 a.k.a “Jenny” is a Global Robotic Response Unit who RUINS evil robots including “The Cluster”, a conglomeration of evil robots controlled by a menacing queen robot. Of course she goes to high school too, which is apparently more difficult that protecting the world from evil bots.

The show is animated in a very neat art-deco style. It kind of reminds me of Sky Captain, which portrayed all these futuristic robots and technology, but circa 1939. My Life uses a similar mix of retro 40’s architecture and styling mixed with all kinds of futuristic themes. The show storylines are usually decent, but I mainly enjoy watching for the animation and imagery. It really is beautifully animated, and is unique in a really cool way.

My Life airs on Friday nights on Nickelodeon. They replay at noon on Saturday and Sunday which is when I usually end up watching.
