Ddey65 It's a commonly accepted notion that TV shows containing characters the audience can relate to will determine the success or failure of a show. This isn't always the case, most notably with the early-1980's Britcom "The Young Ones." It's also known that fans of "Kickin' It" were disappointed when Olivia Holt left that sitcom to do this show, which has been unfairly panned by IMDb users and other critics. This is kind of sad. The show has a silly and fascinating main cast of characters. Yes, there are similarities to FRIENDS, but that's not really that bad, and for the record the "cafe with the couches" was named "Central Perk." This show's version of Central Perk is called "Rumble Juice," a smoothie joint under a Chicago "L" station in Evanston, Illinois. Interesting of It's a Laugh Productions to choose edge cities for locations, rather than big ones kids might be more familiar with. I await a sitcom taking place in Yonkers, Mount Vernon, or Long Beach, New York in the future.The premise is fairly simple; Fraternal twins Lindy and Logan Watson (Olivia Holt and Austin North) enter high school with each other and their three friends, and get into all kinds of trouble along the way, especially as they try to break away from having to do things with each other. The fact that Lindy is book-smart and helpful while Logan is a slacker may help them distinguish themselves between each other. Besides the Watson twins, the three other kids that make up the "Fab 5" include smart fashionista Jasmine Kang (played by A.N.T. Farm's Piper Curda), High-strung germophobe Garrett Spenger (Peyton Clark), And last, but far from least, the quirk-alicious group weirdo Delia Delfano (Sarah Gilman).A standard episode usually plays out like this; The kids end up in some kind of fiasco, and usually have to explain to adults how the big mess of the week came about in the first place. The rest of the episode is strictly a flashback until it gets to the big mess at the beginning of the episode. Routine as it may be, it's hardly boring. What's not routine are the kids themselves. For once, the usual trope of the smart kid of the group wearing the glasses isn't true here. Not that Delia doesn't have a brain in that head of hers, but honestly, the only thing she has in common with Daria Morgendorffer is that she's a brunette with glasses who prefers the natural look.Of course, the show's not all about Miss Gilman's character. Typical of most Disney shows, it produces a romantic storyline between some of the characters, primarily Jasmine and Logan, which it gave subtle hints about until the episode "Lindy Nose Best," where it damn near served it to the viewers on a silver platter. Jasmine is also the reason Lindy learned to be a little more fashionable, according to some sources, and she's actually the brainiac of the group.As another reviewer mentioned, this show is non-musical, which is also a departure for Disney... so far. Olivia Holt sings the theme song, as well as other Disney-related musical projects past and present, and Piper Curda plays the drums and has a musical side-career of her own. So there's always a chance that the producers might try to integrate these aspects of their personality into the series.To the surprise of many, the show is getting a second season. It's good enough that it deserves a chance, but knowing how hard the critics have slammed this show, I'll be surprised if there's a third.

josiew2 Omg Disney why? You were so awesome and now look what happened. Where's good luck Charlie?Anyway, so first the horrid characters: Linsey: she's such an annoying spoiled blonde who always has to get her way. Olivia Holt is usually a good actress but this is just sick. The guy: her brother. What an idiot! I mean his voice is too deep and he can't play a high school kid for his life. Delia: I love this girl. Only good character besides garret. She's so sweet and quirky and pretty. Garret: he's OK. They make fun of him for being careful, but he's the only smart one Jasmine: worst. Character. Ever. Like how can you be so stuck up and phone and boy obsessed? I hate this girl. The writings bad, acting leaves to be desired, and I hope somebody gets rid of it Worst Disney show yet

lauren the dyke The show is ehhh...its okay... I am just still getting over the fact that they ended Good Luck Charlie to put this on....i mean, really? Disney Channel right now is the only thing i watch besides Disney XD. So i do love the Disney Channels but they could be better...This show can and WILL get old. Okay lets start with the first one...The Unsupervised Party:So the episode starts with a view of a messy place...stop right there. At the top of my head i can about 5 shows that has at least one episode like this. A couple of movies too. So its throw a party make a mess and get caught and get a week length punishment. done.overall this show is good but just a warning it will get old

charitycaroline This show was genuinely one of the worst programs I have ever watched. It's a real shame, because a couple of the actors (Piper Curda, Austin North) show some potential, but other characters are such terrible caricatures that it is literally difficult to watch. If there is a director involved with this show, I can't imagine they are older than 13 or 14. The writing is beyond juvenile. The acting, for the most part, looks like a middle-school play (except for the fact that the freshmen look like they're about 30). The morals of the kids are abhorrent - I truly hope that kids aren't watching this show thinking the characters are "cool," because the way they treat their parents, their teachers, and their peers is absolutely awful. The character of Delia is so phenomenally annoying, I genuinely feel bad for the actor playing her. It's obvious she is trying (too hard) to make her lines funny, but the character is so awkward it's painful to watch. Screech Powers, from Saved by the Bell, was awkward and funny. This character is awkward and embarrassing, making an already loathsome show even more unpleasant. I understand that Disney's live-action shows cater to a pre-teen crowd, so these shows aren't going to be sophisticated, but if we could try to show some intelligent teens who don't think their parents are complete morons it may help shape young adults who aren't completely obnoxious, vacant, and completely self-involved individuals. This program actually demonstrates everything that is wrong with Disney's programming today. ***Your audience is impressionable, Disney!!*** For the love of everything, show some responsibility - and some *quality* - with your programming. I loved Disney growing up, but my kids won't watch Disney if this is the kind of trash you continue to air.
