I've always loved the idea of time travel, and a sitcom on it could've been amazing. I mean just imagine the adventures. So the show is about these two teenage girls who have to struggle with school and their friendships with the power to time travel. The only way they travel time is by touching each other and thinking about the time they want to travel to. You'd think amazing right...? Eh...1. When I heard about a time traveling show, I thought, "Mr. Peabody, Sherman and their amazing adventures!" Nope. Some boring teenage girls and their high school problems. Woohoo... Seeing dinosaurs? See how the world ends? Nope. Going back in time to see two girls get the dream boys is more interesting than dinosaurs and flying cars. 2. Well the opportunity of amazing adventures is out the window, but comedy should be the best right...? If you find stuff like stuff like turtles who pass gas gum bubbles hilarious, then you found your show! 3. The plot makes no sense.4. Too many characters are stupidly dumb and that's all I have to say.

Not realistic? NOT REALISTIC? It's a show about time travel for godness sake. Who said anything about realism?The girls can time travel and a guy has a lab. And? There were time travel shows in the past and nobody cared. Dexter from Dexter's Lab has a huge lab that clearly couldn't fit in his house. Nobody cared. So when someone else can time travel and when someone else has a lab, you guys are quick to hate on it, not realizing you grew up watching the same things but loving it.It seems like you guys are just looking for reasons to hate on Disney at this point. This is television. This isn't reality, it's TELEVISION. It's not supposed to be realistic. If you want realistic stuff, close the TV and go outside, or go to school, or do your homework or whatever. That'll be realistic.

I love this show and all the characters. I love the concept/idea, and the age of the characters are teenagers; what teenager doesn't love a show about two teens in high school who can time-travel after a friend's science experiment goes awry? I don't care if it's not funny, 'cause I don't need funny to enjoy it. Plus, some scenes and lines were funny, so it's not without its comedy.It would make me happy, though, if episodes were biweekly instead of monthly.I wish Disney would make more teen sci-fi shows! "Phil of the Future" was well-loved, but it was canceled after 2 seasons; perhaps they can make a spin off/sequel that deals with another family who traveled to the 21st century? In the magic part, perhaps they can continue "Wizards of Waverly Place" with a spin off show that deals with a wizard family in the wizard world? PLEASE, Disney, read my review here!

Really this is a show that will probably give you a bit of a surprise. The premise is quite simple: Best Friends Cyd and Shelby, following an accident in their friend Barry's lab, allows them to travel through time by touching the other and thinking of a time period. Cue wacky hijinks .So far it sounds pretty familiar and sure enough, upon first sight Best Friends Whenever appears to be nothing more than another of your standard Disney high concept teen shows, light hearted and harmless fun sure, but nothing to special or memorable.But really, keep watching and you'll be surprised. This show is a lot deeper and more complex than it first seems, the level of thought the writers have actually put into the concept of time travel is more than you would expect. Good examples of this are the episodes "The Butterscotch Effect" and "Shake Your Booty" Both of which take a good look at two questions that probably will emerge in you're minds after the first few episodes.Likewise this show also maintains a concise story arc, a subtle but strong continuity and a pretty intriguing driving question.The show also benefits from a cast who effortlessly play off each other. The chemistry between the main characters is organic and feels realistic, the bonds between them feel realistic. Likewise the four main characters are well balanced, likable and entertaining.Now that's not to say this is perfect, like to many other's of its type it falls into the trap of a superfluous annoying younger sibling (or siblings in this case). Likewise not all the humour hits exactly the right mark, and its pretty clear that everyone is still getting used to this so for the first few episodes. Still none of these flaws feel like anything worse than what can be ironed out with a bit of experience.All in all, I would recommend giving it a try. It really is cut above your average Disney teen show.
