    A sketch show starring a group of people 5 or 6 years younger than me? Hmmm... Where did I see that before? Oh, of course! This show is a FREAKIN' RIPOFF OF NICKELODEON'S "ALL THAT!"!!!! Unfunny, not witty, and idiotic, this show makes the Brady Bunch Variety Hour look like the Carol Burnett Show! Let's see if there are any signs of this show ripping off "All That!"... "Whale Boy" is a ripoff of "Ear Boy". There are also musical performances by people who don't sing, and a moronic parody of MC Hammer, "MC Grammar". And yes, this is the spin-off of a TV Series I already hate, "Sonny With a Chance". Bottom line: Avoid this TV Series like the Megnitis Outbreak!

    This show is smart and funny, easily the best show on the Disney network. I'm surprised by other less positive reviews. Any sketch show will have its ups and downs, but nearly every episode has at least one sketch that will make milk come out of my nose. Our whole family watched this when it was on, and we sure miss it. We'd like to see the mother-daughter duo get more skits. One favorite character is Julia Peters, who surely is someday going to marry Zach Feldman. We can all quote Mr. Goodman, the coolest teacher who doesn't play by the rules. Perhaps both Julia and Mr. Goodman are ready to be challenged by adversaries. We love all the pop culture send-ups like Harry Potter and Gollum competing on Wheel of Fortune. My absolute favorite sketch was Your Daughter's Closet, a TV ad for a store for middle aged women who want to dress like tweens on girl's night out.

    After a very lame start "So Random" began to figure out what it wanted to be and has quietly moved toward becoming a Disney version of Nickelodeon's "Roundhouse" (1992-1994). "Roundhouse" was a classic sketch comedy show for adolescents; with skits, music, and dancing showcasing a group of relatively unknown young actors and dancers. Although "So Random" lacks some of the originality of "Roundhouse" ("Tantrum Girl" is a weak reprise of "Ask Ashley" from "All That" and "Kid Lawyer" is an improved Judge Trudy" from "The Amanda Show") the writers have managed to inject enough new material into each episode to keep it fresh.It has come a long way from its "Sonny With A Chance" origins; a show that was slowly straggling on its Demi Lovato – Sterling Knight focus. It had become increasingly obvious that Brandon Smith and Allisyn Ashley Arm were "Sonny's" comedic strength and extremely frustrating that they were relegated to supporting roles. Both are far better utilized on "So Random". Arm (who looks like Saoirse Ronan playing Amanda Bynes) also benefits from frequent pairing with new cast member Audrey Whitby. These two girls have a natural comedic chemistry that produces a lot of synergy when they play off against each other. It's no coincidence that the quality improvement has coincided with Whitby's increasing screen time. She has created an obsessive teen character (Julia Peters) with her own television show (The I'm Going To Marry Zach Feldman Show) in the tradition of "Wayne's World". With Arm as her cameraman the screen is filled with extreme close-ups of the manic Julia and her breathless dialogue, which compare favorably with television's best classic comedy segments. Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.

    This show has so many stupid episodes that only my two little brothers can stand watching. And by stand watching I mean they'll watch it but only if there's nothing else to watch. They'll groan and moan until it's over. The repulsive character Rufus with his "You're not gonna believe this..." is an insult to many people that can't help but talk like that. The characters are unrealistic and only seem like good actors because they have to "laugh" all the time...even at the bad jokes which the show consists of. They have a special guest singer/dancer every episode but most of them aren't famous or good. Lastly, the show is offending to many different races and types of people.
