    Well, it does one or two things well. I enjoyed the character Piper, (Charlie Storwick) and one episode where they have a beauty pageant. (except for the preachy and forced ending.) Other than that, the show ranges from mediocre to terrible. The humor is forced, and the laugh track really doesn't help either. The characters (Save for Jarvis) are stereotypes. Geneva is the dumb blonde obsessed with her looks, Bowie is the nerd (yet he somehow manages to be almost as dumb as Geneva), Piper is the tech nerd\Goth Chick, Aster is the shortest of the bunch, and a fashion obsessed jerk, and Knox is the dumb jock. I understand that it's a kid's show, but kids aren't dumb. I think it needs to make actual characters and have them develop throughout the story instead of making cardboard cut outs.

    I really like the idea on which the TV Series is built. The cast is great as well as the production, but something feels wrong while you are watching. It's hard to explain but it seems to be "home made". I blame the pacing of the show, the editing, those fractions of time between the lines, the timing of the laughs, some void between dialogues... It just feels an unnatural flow, like forced. Like that play in grade six where kids are waiting for their cue to say their lines. My two kids, in middle and elementary school, say this is the show they like least of YTV (Canadian Network similar to Nickelodeon). We find that a lot of episodes have such a lousy story, not funny at all and with very basic plots with dull resolutions, sometimes we just don't laugh at all during the whole show, and what's the point of a comedy that is not funny. Yes, there are some episodes that we have enjoyed and had a good laugh, especially with Mrs Bubkes, but not enough to give the show a better rating.

    The show was obviously written by a bunch of monkeys. The jokes are dirty and make no sense whatsoever. All the characters in the show are all stupid and are completely oblivious to their surroundings. The humor is dry and does not have high ratings. It's obvious the makers of this show were trying to rope in a quick buck. It's not a funny show and should not air. Take your chances and watch something better or perhaps instead of watching this maybe you should go have a root canal instead. It's better than watching this garbage. If I were to rate this show, I would probably give it a 1. What I mean by all the characters are stupid, THERE ALL STUPID! No clue in the world whatsoever on how to do things

    I have gone to the studio to watch them film this series and its truly amazing the talent this show has. The cast is great and even come and interact with the studio audience. When I finally got to watch the final product it was as I had hoped AMAZING. The idea around the show is that Jarvis (Kolton) sues a toy factory and wins the company. He hires his friends to work there piper (Charlie) and Bowie(Harrison). There are also Geneva, Aster, Knox that round out the cast. And then there is Ms. Bubkist/Candace who is played by Ellie Harvie. She used to own the "Knickknack Toys " till Jarvis won the law suit. So Candace dress up as the cleaning lady to try and screw things up for Jarvis. Check it out you will really enjoy it I think.
