    ThiefHott Too much of everything
    XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.
    Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
    Chantel Contreras It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
    vice hara What is going on with Disney Channel right now? Well after seeing (most of) this show I can sadly say that it has become the epitome of how I view Disney Channel. I can't even say something good to give it some justice. So what this show is it's a comedy that has a lousy script that makes it effortless for the writers to do work. These writers don't have a clue on how to write kids and what their social life is. Since it is a channel for teens, preteens, or maybe even children watch this garbage, the "actors" have to be at the same brain level as the target audience even if the adults have to act like children and not real people. The main part is to keep the audience at least captivated for a half of an hour and to just have lame boring humor that only a young child could laugh at. I can't see anyone my age (17) or older to actually laugh and care for this show. Ultimately there are going to be people that doesn't agree with me but the characters are as bad as the flat jokes that exhale through their lungs. I can't really say for their acting capabilities since the directors doesn't really put forth any effort. Their young and barely inexperienced but I don't have any remorse for the adults that may have actually took acting classes. Though they don't have much of a script to work with it's still the whole thing has to be a team effort therefore it doesn't work for me.One thing with Disney Channel these days is to take their young stars and cash in the success what brings to them. After take in the next in line to be celebrity and who knows what will happen to them after. They picked China a youthful girl that would already become a success on her own, but chose this career instead. They haven't done anything spectacular and will be surprised to see any brilliance come upon them later in their acting career.I can't relate to the characters, it has no redeeming jokes, directing is lazy including the writing, and the acting can't even come off as a school play. I'm not able to recommend this to anyone that is older than a toddler because believe it or not if the channel had a face it would be A.N.T. Farm with no questions asked.Now I haven't gone in detail on what doesn't work in this show and for good reason because you see if I did that would mean that I take up more room and time for you to read my thoughts on A.N.T. Farm. So if you are still curious on seeing how bad it really is and why this was a particularly short rant on this subject. Than if you still want to see for your self in the nonsense than don't come back at all.
    cowface17 I have to give a hand to Antfarm for making a show so bad I would not even watch it if I was paid. This show is so bad and makes no sense at all. This show is about kids with talent in a specific category like music and these kids are about 12-13. But for some reason these kids were put in HIGH SCHOOL! How does that make any sense? Please tell me. Kids in high school, where does Disney get these ideas! This show is so bad. How this show is bad: First of all, if these kids are in high school how do they easily pass? There is middle school for a reason. Pasley is just too dumb to be realistic. How could she pass the classes if she was that dumb . She misunderstands everything and literally everything. The characters are unlikable. The acting is terrible, the writing is terrible and nothing about the show makes sense. You would never see people like that in real life. The show is not even funny. Most of the episodes are stupid. The episode I find the worst is how Chyna joined that band. So there is a band of three people and one of them gets constipated from eating food from a gas station; so they find a random person on the streets to sing with them. Then they fire that person who got constipated and hired Chyna. Then that same person tried to kill them. Like what the hell!!!!!! You know how bad that sounds. The ONLY way the show is good is Cameron and his dad. That's it.I have only seen a few episodes, but frankly I don't want to see anymore. Do not watch this show. I repeat, DO NOT WATCH THIS SHOW! It is bad in so many ways. I could make a better show even though I am still in school. Overall, .
    Megan Sammut uhhh..one of the worst shows!! Its just like a Hannah Montana remake. First of all Chyna is always singing always and isn't even a good singer. She gets all the parts and expects to all the attention and about the principle a principle could never be that mean and selfish or else she would get fired and if she is always trying to save school money for herself then why did she pay for all the equipment in the ant room and each kid gets a tablet? She also looks so fake when she plays all those instruments. A little something about her friends is that they are always doing what she wants for example she made her friends collect points from yogurt cups so that she could have enough money to buy a 300 dollar bag just to fit in and fitting in seems to be a big thing for her but not any of her friends in fact they could care less.I am giving it a 3 for the only two good actors in the show Daryl the dad and Paisly who might be too dumb but plays it very well I mean you can't blame the actress for the stupid character she has to play.
    getoboy731 Most shows of this genre either do good because of a super-talented leading lady who gets marketed as a singer who has mediocre acting ability with a great ensemble cast or because they have good writers. ANTFarm has a good cast and the singer has is also a good funny actress. You can't say that about Miranda Cosgrove, Debby Ryan, Victoria Justice or Bridgit Mendler. At least about being funny, since all of them have funny cast members, but they get stuck as a typical boring protagonist. She sings way more than most other actresses, but most of the time it's a song that Disney can't sell on a soundtrack. And in those songs is were you hear how good of a singer China Anne McClain really is. She was the bright spot on a mediocre show for Tyler Perry, and the show is made by the creator of the Suite Life, which doesn't instantly equal a great show. But they casting makes up for it. You can really tell they have fun with the script and that the writers have fun writing them. They run on a sliding scale of real-life and make-believe that you would expect from Wizards of Waverly place or a even a cartoon, but it works. Viewers can really enjoy this unconventional sitcom, that almost de-constructs sitcoms. The characters are very genre savvy but it makes sense since they are child prodigies. They use zany schemes, some have unresolved episodes, but it's all in good fun. Some show forget they are sitcoms, not this one. The villains are evil, Lexi and Skidmore, but get laughs since they are a little over the top. Olive helps make the show, but had a couple times when she is the villain to Lexi or Paisley, which is awesome, even though she is "foiled". Sierra McCormick is does a great job but they show is in jeopardy of her being a spotlight stealer, because that is Chyna and Lexi's job. Fletcher, Angus and Cameron aren't your typical heartthrobs and that speaks volumes for their comedic ability and acting chops. But even the nice looking people on the show have skills. It's really a show that gets the most out of its cast. It's as if they know the formula for making a good show in the current environment. Kudos to China for outlasting Cymphonique and having a longer potentially a longer run than keke Palmer, with the renewal of the next season. With them being high school freshman in the pilot, the show can only last four seasons, and the show should easily accomplish this, since it runs on Fridays but still outdid Victoria and iCarly near their end, with the exception of iGoodbye, of course. But still had a better episode premiere the same night. And that's saying a lot. If it's not the best show on Disney, it's only because there are currently other good shows on Disney.
