    Good Lord this show is AWFUL!!! The entire storyline is how an unpopular (and rightfully so) teenage girl stalks a guy for about 20 minutes of the episode, stutters in front of him, then runs away from him embarrassed. In the meantime her gigolo of a best friend goes around dating boys in 10th or 11th grade, while she's in (what I believe to be) 8th. Also, the entire time she thinks of her "worst enemies" getting annihilated or embarrassed in ways no person would be. Speaking of which, what high schoolers would go around yelling "BURRRRRRRN!!!" all the time? Makes no sense. Finally, Addie's singing is horrendous! I understand she isn't supposed to be the next American Idol, but if you can't sing, don't try to! The only reason she has her own show is because she wanted to be like Auntie Julia, end of story.Again, as with my Naked Brother's Band comment, I gave this show a chance. Saw about 5 episodes, and gave it up. So there.

    From the point I saw it advertised, I had a feeling that this was going to be another Nick flop. Boy, was I right. Now, I did not want to watch it, it looked stupid and pointless. Unfortunately, my neighbor has a tendency to ignore child abuse laws (even though she is one herself), and made me sit through three painful episodes over Comcast. First off, the acting is absolutely terrible. Emma Roberts can't act her way out of a plastic bag, and seems to find herself amusing by putting on the fakest of facial expressions. She says her lines like a robot. In fact, I believe that basically everyone on the show is that bad. Pathetic, really. Second off, the girls are apparently very sweet, welcome everyone, and hate the popular folk. However, they are just as nasty and cruel as Maris and Cranberry. Very hypocritical. The show is cheesy, basically lives off of teenybopper romance, and uses good-looking actors instead of those with real skill. Lord, save us. This is child abuse.

    I think Unfabulous is a really great show. It's about a girl in middle school named Addie Singer who is trying to basically find herself and grow up. She uses her close friends Gina and Zach, her family, and her music to learn about herself.I think this is a really great show but only if you can relate to it. It is meant for 11-14 year old girls. I can relate to the episodes and the problems that occur, therefore I love to watch it. It's also a really great show to watch because of the eye candy; some of the boys are really cute, like Randy Klein and Jake Bahari.Many people complain about the acting and the singing in the show. If it is your first time watching the show or you have watched every episode yet you say you hate the show (why do you keep watching it?), you have to realize that these are young actors. Emma Roberts hasn't been in the business for 30 years so give her a break. She also is playing a young girl who doesn't have a perfect voice so stop complaining, all of you haters. Half of us can't act as well as her or even sing as well as her. Unfabulous is being compared to a lot of other teen shows but most of the events that happen in the show can be related to, even if they are exaggerated. IT'S A TELEVISION SHOW! And this whole thing about Unfabulous putting down Catholic school, anything about Catholic school maybe happened two or three times total during both seasons. It's not even that serious. No one was intentionally putting down the schools, unless you read really really deep into it. It's not the best show in the entire world, and Nick used to have a lot of really good shows. But Nickelodeon has to provide for another, younger generation of kids so if you are older than about 14, you probably don't/shouldn't watch the show.

    OMG! I am so surprised looking at so many of these reviews, this is a totally predictable show with absolutely no potential to be anything more that a kids TV show. Yes I am aware that it is just a TV kids show but what self-respecting actor ever made it big after a kids show? the plot lines are unrealistic and give young teenagers false hope that you will get the boy you want and everything will turn out OK at the end of it. And also, that girl may be related to Julia Roberts but it is obvious that the acting gene has not passed itself down to Miss Emma, and sorry to say it, but she can't sing a tune either. I'm giving it a 3/10 and the only reason it gets a 3 is because it seems to entertain some kids, however, it is poorly acted, not funny, badly written and over the top. Its totally pathetic!
