fanbaseofone Awful, Awful, Awful show. "Real world" issues dealt with blatant unoriginality. Stereotypes galore. What the hell is going on with the African-American (black!) guys eyebrows? Tyrone power! Awful, Awful, Awful, Awful, Awful show. The fact that it lasted three seasons beggars belief. This show truly is swill for the brain dead accepters of mediocrity. Saved by the Bell almost seemed humorous compared to this. Well, upon hindsight, no. It's of the same banal ilk and therefore equally devoid of intelligence. The only thing that it's missing so far is the Jesus is GOD message. The mentality and deliverance is the same, yet somehow feels evil and soulless. You can almost hear the TV executives sprouting buzz words at each other. In fact I felt so incensed at this shows excremental existence, I felt compelled to comment. Awful, Awful, Awful show.
John The main reason that teen-oriented sitcoms saturated the Saturday morning landscape is due to the unfortunate decline of creativity in cartoons. First, there was "Saved by the Bell"/ "Good Morning, Miss Bliss". Due to the success of this franchise, this led to so many others: "Saved by the Bell: The New Class", "City Guys", "Hang Time", "USA High", "California Dreams", "All About Us", etc. These shows share one important common bond: They dealt with teens as they interacted with each other in the high school setting. Of course, each show took place in a different city. These shows also tried to include "ethnic diversity" in the cast. Then we come around to "One World".First, the show tried to be blatantly diverse in ethnicities: the Whites, the Asian, the Black, the Hispanic, the American Indian. (Did I leave anything out?) Given the forced diversity and the way they dressed, the show looked like an advertisement for the United Colors of Benetton. Second, the show centered around their lives at home, and getting along while they lived together. This was different from the other shows, which centered around how the teens got along while in school together.The rest of the show can be called "predictable", because the plots, jokes, and morality messages have existed in the same forms on the rest of the teen sitcoms. However, this series clearly showed that the "teen sitcom" genre was getting extremely stale and overused. The show tried to be different due to the focus being at home rather than at school, but it was all the same. This oversaturation of this genre led to its demise. Because it was so stale, it was simply canceled. This was unlike "Saved.." or "Hang Time", when the final episodes gave a sense of closure to those series. Because the characters of "One World" got along so well, this was an attempt to show teens that racism is dead, or something like that. Please
helll_razor I like the show(well maybe its because of Alisa Reyes)...chica bonita....but the show has its moments of "silliness". But its trying to show you that its possible for a mixed bag of people to get along...kinda like our city of NYC and my old HS. A melting pot, sure some of the jokes are lame...but I can over look that.P.S. Alisa Reyes is hot!!
Quinn-5 Just what the American tv viewing public has been in dire need of...another Saturday morning, teen-oriented "sitcom" from the master of the medium, Hollywood outcast extraordinaire, Peter Engel, creator of the "Saved By The Bell" series, a franchise that has no doubt made him richer than he ever imagined and spawned a collection of similar projects from his frighteningly unoriginal mind, the latest of which is this laughable effort, "One World". Once more, a cast of about seven or so well-groomed, well-mannered and extremely well dressed "teens" (I put the word in quotes because there are at least 3 cast members that look well over 20) who struggle with that pesky thing called a conscious as they get into such life-shaping and soul-searching situations like...finding the PERFECT gift for their foster dad, or...learning to live with the rebellious new girl, because she's rude with an AT-TI-TUDE, GIRLFRIEND!!! But the real kicker about this show is the overall premise...the teens are all orphans and/or troubled kids living in a huge three story house with their foster parents, who I suppose just woke up one day and said "Honey, let's forget about kids of our own! Let's just welcome in as many ethnically diverse juvinile delinquents and orphans the state has to offer!!" And thus this brilliant filler of a half hour was born, complete with the good ol' Engel touch of mixing in some adults to balance the viewing balance...and like past Engel triumphs, the adults here have been seemingly pulled at random out of crowds at shopping malls or movie theaters, because if they can be called actors, I have a pet parrot that can deliver embarrassingly awkward jokes more flatly. However, I get the feeling Mr. Engel's intentions are, in fact, good...after all, behind each storyline is a very thinly veiled morality message, and kids do need that. Its sort of a "Sesame Street" for teens, only without the Jim Henson wit...and creativity...and decent writing...mediorce lighting...I could go on...but I'm going to get work on making my own sitcom. Because apparently anyone who speaks the King's English can...
