what an horrible show. Guess my summary already said that. The thins is full of clichés. Every character is a cliché, the female counterpart that is fated to be the useless girlfriend of the protagonist, she is friggin hot, but she is independent and wants to be the best in what she does, guess what, that's never gonna happen cuz the protagonist is the best, and you my little one, no matter how hot or good you are, you are destined to be second place. The group of geek/nerds guy are simply insulting, I always was considered one and I kicked ass of any bully who tried to intimidate me almost getting expelled for letting some of them crying. what's wrong with Disney and stereotypes ? The protagonist ? oh dear god .... no men, I don't care with who you train with, I don't care if he was the friggin Mister Miyagi, you can't be even better than teachers in your short life !. The only reason they make him so perfect, is because they wanted him to be an idol, and example to follow, they wanted to every kid to relate themselves with Jack-ass, he is the hero and the protagonist, and even when kids might like that, it bores me to death.The comedy ? oh dear god why, I don't know if I have seen another show abuse so much of the resource of CL, literally, is canned laugh every 5 seconds the characters talk, its like the producers are right behind you, screaming to your ears '' Laugh ! Laugh !!! Laugh!!!!!!!!!'' If you are 6 years old or can get related to any of the characters you are possible giving this a 8. If you don't, you are possible hating this. I don't think this deserves more than 3 stars, the things is, that this series have such score as 6.1, and I can't tolerate that. So i give it 1, in order to get the true score it deserves. 6 Its way too much for this.

We are a family who loves karate and Disney, so this show was made for us really, but we also like the story lines and the kids are fun and there is a lot of humor in the show. It seems that Disney XD is aimed at boys OR kids who like Karate, cartoons, etc and the regular Disney channel is aimed at more general family programming, so we are really enjoying this newer show.The fact that some of the kids featured really do know karate just makes it a lot more fun to watch the fight scenes, and we love that the brother from Hannah Montana gets to play his real age finally instead of pretending to be just out of high school.We highly recommend this for all families to watch - good clean fun!

Whatever happened to quality kid's programming? I grew up in the early 90's, with classics like "The Adventures of Pete & Pete", "Animaniacs" and one of the best TV-series of all time, "Batman: The Animated Series", which was arguably better than any of the films at the time.Out of curiosity, I watched the pilot and clips from other episodes of the Disney XD sitcom "Kickin' It" the other day. This is the definition of what is wrong with entertainment these days, particularly entertainment aimed at children.It's one of the most condescending, lazy, and at times even blatantly upsetting children's shows I've ever seen.The series basically follows Jack, a martial arts expert and the new kid at school. He joins the Bobby Wasabi (Ugh) Katate Accademy along with other social misfits, and the series follows the group, headed by Rudy, an irritating character who is a walking clumsy 20-somethign cliché.The characters are all lowest-common-denominator clichés. Ex. Jerry, an annoying lone-wolf type who oozes nothing but lines of dialog we've heard hundreds of times before. Or Milton, who along with a father is clearly a fairly racist, geeky depiction of a certain religion.Ad to that the incompetent writing (the pilot is almost a word-for-word rip-off of "The Karate Kid" at times), and some truly awful "Yellow Face" racism by the character of Bobby Wasabi who pops up from time to time, (I don't care if the character is meant to be Asian or White, he's clearly a white man in Yellowface) and the show actually becomes upsetting to watch for older viewers.The production is also incredibly lazy. From the aforementioned rip-off scripts, to the DOA jokes, there's no effort put into the production at all.What happened to quality children's programming? Seriously. This is a 2 out of 10, tops.

I personally think that 'Kickin It' has lots of potential. First of, I can't imagine better people to play the parts of Jack, Kim, Rudy, Milton, Jerry and Eddie (and I guess Philafle Phil too). Jack is personally my favorite. I love his flips and stunts. He such a guys guy and so sweet at the same time. I like that. That's how I see him, anyway. I also love Kim. She is one of the guys without being a total jock. I love having friends of mine who are girls that are like that. I'm like that. Milton is funny (sorta) and sophisticated. he reminds me of Cole Sprouse. Jerry is so funny! He reminds me of Moises Arias, which makes sense since Moises is his brother. Eddies okay. The show could deal without him, but he's a nice touch. I personally don't think the show could make it without both Jack and Kim. And am I the only one who sees it, or can everybody see them definitely getting together one day? In personally think that'd be a perfect add on to the series. Anyway, 'Kickin it' is an awesome show, that I think most people would like. Check it out.
