Skimo is the first Nickelodeon comedy sitcom made in Mexico. It is produced by Nickelodeon Latin America and Macias Group International. The show first aired on May 15, 2006, and ran at 8:00 pm for the first two seasons. In the third season of the show, it was moved to 6:00 pm on Mondays.

Currently, it is airing reruns on Nick at Nite block on Nickelodeon Latin America. The opening song for the show, called "Skimo Es el Lugar" ("Skimo Is the Place"), is performed by the pop rock band Motel.
Skimo is the story of two boys, Fito and Tavo, who made their dreams reality by opening their own shop. Skimo is described as "the coolest place in the neighbourhood".
As an eatery, Skimo sells many innovative flavoured foods, like strawberry milkshakes, mango on a stick with chamoy sauce, or the vanilla ice-cream stuffed pepper.
Fito is the typical "cool guy" co-protagonist in the series. He does not earn good grades in school, but he is athletic and portrays himself as "the coolest dude in the neighborhood" almost everywhere and always has odd ideas to improve Skimo (like selling one Skimo at twice its price, instead of selling 2X1). He likes rock, hip-hop, and beatbox music and he has an "internal beat" when he is speaking or doing something. He's a dreamer and a schemer, and he talks about his fantasies as if they were real. Fito is 16 years old. His most notorious feature is his surfer-afro hair, and his skateboard-style clothes.
