This is an accepted version of this page My Life as a Teenage Robot is an American animated science fiction superhero comedy television series created by Rob Renzetti for Nickelodeon.

[3][4] 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.

The completed third season eventually aired on Nickelodeon's spinoff network Nicktoons from October 4, 2008, until ending its run on May 2, 2009.

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.

The special of the series, "Escape from Cluster Prime", shows that the alien planet is actually a peaceful paradise for every kind of robot.

Rob Renzetti moved from Cartoon Network to Nickelodeon to develop his own ideas as part of Fred Seibert's and Frederator Studios' Oh Yeah!

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.

After further thought, Renzetti merged the two characters to create Jenny, a robot with the personality of a teenage girl.

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.

[10] In the second season, a 48-minute, two-part TV movie titled "Escape from Cluster Prime" (which was nominated for an Emmy in 2006)[11] aired.

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.

[24] As of 2023, creator Rob Renzetti has been publishing a web story based on the series in his personal newsletter.

[25][26] The story was written by Renzetti alongside Steven Michael Burns and Donovan Patton, with illustrations initially by My Life as a Teenage Robot art director Alex Kirwan,[27] and later by storyboard artist Heather Martinez.
