Kenan & Kel
Created by Kim Bass
On Nickelodeon
A bright, high-energy teen sitcom built on the warmth of friendship and the comedic chaos of two friends' constant schemes, designed to be rewatchable and reassuring.
Set in Chicago, the show follows the kid-friendly misadventures of two high-school friends who are always scheming and dreaming. Kenan, who works at a grocery store, constantly devises crazy plans to strike it rich, while orange-soda-loving buddy Kel is always dragged along for the ride despite his track record for messing things up.
