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.<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 [[Nicktoons]] from October 4, 2008, until ending its run on May 2, 2009. The series totals up to 40 episodes across three seasons, consisting of 13 to 14 episodes each.

==Overview==
''My Life as a Teenage Robot'' is set in the fictional town of Tremorton, located near [[Omaha, Nebraska]], 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 [[Sentience|sentient]] 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 Tremorton High School, however, Jenny has a tense, love-hate relationship with Britney "Brit" (voiced by [[Moira Quirk]]) and Tiffany "Tiff" Crust (voiced by [[Cree Summer]]), the school's resident popular girls.

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 (voice actor)|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 [[humanoid robot]] 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. Nora Wakeman (voiced by [[Candi Milo]]) is an elderly [[Robotics|roboticist]] 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 highly skilled in science and inventing, 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.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Petrozzello|first1=Donna|title=First 'Rugrats' spinoff among new Nick series|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/111997483/rugrats-family-growing-donna-petrozz/|access-date=October 25, 2022|work=New York Daily News|date=March 13, 2002|page=81|archive-date=August 4, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230804033001/https://www.newspapers.com/article/111997483/rugrats-family-growing-donna-petrozz/|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Reception==
===Critical reception===
Sean Aitchison from [[Comic Book Resources|CBR]] wrote positively of the show stating, "Aside from the look of the show,&nbsp;''My Life as a Teenage Robot'' had a fun premise that made for some great action comedy storytelling, and it definitely holds up [in modern day]. Though the show's depiction of teendom is somewhat outdated, the cliches actually end up working in favor of&nbsp;the humor.&nbsp;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."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cbr.com/good-and-bad-cartoons-from-the-00s/|title=Keep It 2000: 8 Cartoons From The '00s That Hold Up (And 7 That Don't)|author=Aitchison, Sean|date=14 October 2017|publisher=[[Comic Book Resources|CBR]]|access-date=May 1, 2019|archive-date=March 28, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190328065456/https://www.cbr.com/good-and-bad-cartoons-from-the-00s/|url-status=live }}</ref> 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.
