Review of Game Shakers first episode...

Who cares what I think, right. WELL YA SHOULD. I lived and breathed Nickelodeon in its prime. I'm 29 now and yep, I was there after school hitting up Nick to watch it when it didn't suck like shit. Hell I saw everything kid-oriented on every network and gravitated towards the intelligent shows as that's what I enjoyed most.

What can I say about the show. I had fun with it. It's A LOT like the older nick shows and TGIF shows but not quite as good as those particularly because those shows attempted to present some kind of realism. This show's very much like a budget disney shows they put on saturday mornings like that's so raven and that other shit I can't remember, A LOT like Kenan and Kel now that I think about it. All things considered this is basically Kenan and Kel 2. It's cheap and just stupid, no attempts to create meaningful art or anything. But the saving grace I'd say is that it's got that old school Pete and Pete vibe from the 90s knocking around in there. The show knows what Nick used to be, a network about embracing the weird off beat side of life. And it has that element in there. Lord knows if they'll continue to go down that path or try to do more epic complex stories, who knows.

I find both the girls to be annoying and lame, no where close to Amanda Bynes in her prime on Nick or that other chick on All That, hell any of the all that females, crush these girls. Wow love to see Amanda Cameo in this shit now that I think about it.... The little white kid saves the show at the end of the day. He's the shit to watch, brings down the house constantly. I guarantee he'll go on to bigger things after this show's run.

Enjoyable romp, I mean. Maybe i'm too old for this, but then again, I never felt like All That or even Kenan and Kel were talking down to me. The humor on there was typically very well thought out. I mean the delivery was cartoonish and nickelodeonish yes, but the jokes were smart jokes nonetheless.

B- for the first episode. It's a good start, but if they want this thing to last longer than f'n space cases or whatever, gonna have to step it up and create more interesting plots.
