    smfrie I thought this show was cute. It's about a young actor who wants to go back to his hometown to be a normal kid. Jett plays Silverstone in a action TV show. You get to see how Jett juggles work and school and trying to be 'normal'. In one episode a girl becomes obsessed with him and does anything to win a contest, 'Spend the day with Jett'. Jett's parents aren't together anymore and they show viewers that they can get along and still be a family. It is a good show to watch and it's funny.
    BlackX This show was interesting at first, but the little bits of Silverstone started to be the only thing to keep it alive. Otherwise it's just the story of some kids' lives. Unlike other shows that sound the same, there are not many episodes where strange things happen, or unfamiliar surroundings that make it interesting. There are some lessons, better when they tie it into the Silverstone parts, but sometimes are targeted towards the African-American audience, which is a downer.Before I go on, let me explain the plot. Jett Jackson is a teenage star for his roles on "Silverstone", a popular show about a secret agent played by Jett(on the show), with a partner named Hawk(played by Riley, a newer friend, all on the show) and raised by Artemis, his mentor. The Silverstone show treats everyone the same race, so Disney had to try to make audiences catch what is different between a show teaching lessons for life and real life. Outside Silverstone, Jett lives with his Dad, the Sheriff, and Nana, his grandmother, a wise woman. His Mom is still in L.A. working for TV or the movies. Jett has been able to convince "the network" to move his show back to Wilsted, North Carolina, to live with his friends J.B.(white) and Kayla(one parent is black, one white). Plots either focus on trouble at school, trouble in the show, trouble with racism or possible everyday crisis(snake bite, lost while camping, such).The acting is great, though the emotion seems to all either be "Everything's great!" or "I'm concerned.", but it's just a little too repetitive and boring eventually. I suggest they try bringing Silverstone by itself onto air, give the actors who play locals in Wilsted parts, and spruce it up to a higher action level.
    Music_Luver_600 "The Famous Jett Jackson" is a pretty good show, but it is not the best. It's about a boy who is living in LA, but moves back to his hometown to be with his family and friends. He has his own TV show. Britney Spears and Destiny's Child have guest starred on this show.
    Anya-fan The first few times I saw this show, I liked it, but I quickly got bored. When it comes right down to it, I really don't care about the characters and many of their problems seem stupid. However, the bits of Silverstone (Jett's TV show) spliced in with the show are fun and worth watching.
