Im 17 years old and I love this show! Its probably one of the best shows on TV for young teens at the moment! The new series has just started on British TV and I cant wait to see more of it! The acting is good for the age of the cast and the plot is quite easy to relate to if you're a young teenage girl. It deals with the problems that girls have to experience- boys, school, friendship and family. It also contains all the necessary ingredients for a great show: A strong lead, 2 supporting best friends, 2 mean bullies, the hot older brother and crushes for the lead part. I prefer it to Zoey 101. The plot is a little more believable. Basically, Its a great show and well worth checking out!!!

Shows on Nick are made to have fun, not so they would really show you the life of teenagers in Middle School. For god sakes, don't pick on every little thing you see wrong with the show. It's about three friends and about their ups and downs at school. I'm not saying that I completely love the show, because some episodes weren't that good, but I'm not saying I don't like it either.Again, Nick has shows that are just made for fun. Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, Zoey 101, Unfabulous, & Drake and Josh are for those people who want to have fun watching a show about a imaginary place. If it showed really was middle school was like.. well then it'd be boring and uncreative.

Fabulous-fab·u·lous adj. Extremely pleasing or successful. Unfabulous is an antonym for this word. Why was it chosen for this Nickelodeon television show? A publicity tactic? Wordplay? Maybe an accidental typo that passed? The reason becomes obvious within twelve seconds of Addie Singer's spontaneous guitar notes, original lyrics to her life's events and a voice unlike any other. Addie Singer is played by Emma Roberts who's claim to fame was being the little niece of Julia Roberts and the daughter of Eric Roberts. My theory on genetics in the Roberts family is that talent seems to skip a generation so maybe Emma's children will have a shot at the big time. This show goes for the "average teenager" angle in hopes to target an audience. A failed tactic. Addie Singer lives the television definition of normal teenage life. A nice two story house in a middle class neighborhood, two parents who have no thought of divorce, a family dog, an annoying older brother, popular girls who are obsessed with makeup and fashion that can always be brought down by the average kids taking a stand, the popular guy that she's had a crush on since elementary school that barely notices her existence because she's too nervous to talk to him and Nickelodeon has added a guitar. Another failed tactic. Addie refuses to settle for ordinary and wants to be as unique as possible though several episodes along with the running plot line are based on Addie wanting to be like everyone else. I believe that's an example of irony. Addie has two main best friends, a smart guy named Zach and a best gal-pal named Geena. How very Lizzie Maguire-esquire. Her older brother is named Ben who often quotes how much he wishes he could be like Addie. Once he even went as far as to say to his girlfriend that he wished he could play the guitar as well as his little sister. I've heard one-legged dogs play the guitar better than Addie Singer. They sing better too. Addie's time can be divided into three main categories. School where she constantly hides behind the safety of her friends. Juice which is a place where teenagers "hang out" and what a surprise, drink juice. Sounds more like preschool without coloring books. Home where she writes her songs about flushing her dead pet goldfish, wishing she was a Mexican wrestler and in her own words "tossing her cookies on a yellow bus." Frankly watching this show made me want to toss my cookies.

Where to start with this show...All the scripts that were denied from all the crappy sitcoms were sent to the "Unfabulous" set and filmed and packed for the American airwaves.It's an overall disappointing look into the next generation's ideas,relationships,and society so unbelievably sugar sweet,it's diabetic.Emma Roberts plays Addie,a thirteen year old who plays her guitar and writes songs about the current situation she's in.The songs suck,and forgive me if I had too high of an expectation for halfway decent lyrics from a thirteen year old,that's my fault.None of this show comes close to reality.Tell me,between an average of homework taking 2 to 3 hours,including chores,hygienic needs as well as eating,and going to school,she can find time to write,compose,and play a song or two?The acting is best compared to a third-grade play and a last minute replacement was forced to learn the lines within a short period.The show is one-dimensional and so are the characters.And I find it disturbing that when the characters are in a relationship,they act like an old,married couple.The female is dominate and the male assumes no authority.So if you want to kill a half an hour,watch the future of America and get really worried when you realize these are the people who will control everything when we're senior citizens.(Hamburglar Milkshake!!!)
