''Stickin' Around'' (1996-1998) is a Canadian children's animated series about a 9 year-old girl Stacy Stickler and her best friend Bradley, who live adventures with their [[MrImagination hyperactive imaginations]], [[WunzaPlot whatever they might be]]. Their imagination-driven adventures are a way of dealing with the various everyday life scenarios that come their way. Described by the creators as basically being what would happen if kids were allowed to make their own cartoons, [[StylisticSuck the show is intentionally drawn crudely to simulate a young child's drawing]], and it actually looks very convincing.

The series was beloved by many Canadian children (and American ones, as this show had a brief, but memorable run on Creator/FoxKids at the same time) during TheNineties and still has nostalgic value for many today. It is generally seen as one of Creator/{{YTV}}'s best original animated series, becoming an iconic part of their lineup during its time on air.

Was available on Sync TV's now-defunct website, [[http://kidlet.tv/ Kidlet]].

As of March 28, 2016, the show is now airing in the United States on Creator/{{Qubo}}, for those who get that channel. It is also on [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBZNlAa1UKF50de5W73AukeujWuQ4iAyl Retro Rerun]], a [=YouTube=] channel operated by Nelvana.

* StylisticSuck: The show ''itself'' '''IS''' an extended example of this trope.

* ToiletHumor: A lot. Considering this show was produced by ''Creator/Nelvana'', who would later produce ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}''.

* ToiletHumor: Mentioned in a phonetic pun during the Fairy Tale episode:

* VocalEvolution: Many of the child characters have their voices in a higher pitch in the earlier episodes before becoming deeper later in the show's run (especially noticeable with Stacy, Lance, Polly and Dill). This makes sense, since [[ChildrenVoicingChildren their voice actors were actual children.]]

* SadistShow: There are a plethora of times where this show outright is just plain mean and nasty to secondary protagonist Bradley, even in terms of writing. Many of these episodes don't even seem written well enough to pull it off, or even have any good build up or sense of justification, even if it is a kid's sadist show. Local bullies Lance and Russell, though getting their fair share of punishment, seemingly only get it if they mess or get involved with events if Stacy steps in- Many extreme instances involve them either crawling into Bradley's room through his window even while he's sick just to give him a beating, loading him up into a trash can and dumping the entire thing into the public pool, and to where even the series' finale ends with a statue of Bradley receiving a wedgie by them. Granted, there are times where the cast are mean to each other, but a lot of them are portrayed as sympathetic and likeable, to where their faults are childish and out of naivety. Even Bradley's pettiness and self absorbed moments are plain harmless and it is just jarring and disproportionate to what big calamity awaits him for a small mistake, or how practically criminal Lance and Russell act. Hell, considering what kind of delinquency and extremes of bad behavior those two brats engage in, in reality with their reputation, they'd be the ones on the receiving ends, either on a short leash by the law or in juvenile hall.
