What We Think

Number of Seasons: 4
My sister recently started recording these episodes on Nick@Nite because she was wondering what the show was about.  I was also curious and so I decided to try it.  I absolutely hated this show and dread having to listen to it when my sister is watching it.  All of the jokes are extremely offensive because they are very racial and aren’t even that funny.  The only good part about the show every episode has one or two jokes that make me chuckle but besides that there are really no funny jokes and most times I find myself questioning why this show was put on air at all.  Besides the jokes the acting isn’t good.  All of the characters are completely over-acting and are not believable in the slightest.  All the girls are always pouring themselves over the brother and he isn’t even that attractive and Chris is always talking about hot girls and that is usually the only thing that is ever on his mind.  I am going to stop ranting and say that no one should ever watch this show unless you want to suddenly gain the urge to hit your head against a wall!

I used to think this show was terrible. I watched a few of the episodes and decided that the show as racist and horrible and certainly not something worth watching. Then one morning I woke up and my sister was watching it. Her friend had told her it was really funny. I ignored it that morning. But after dozens of mornings waking up and watching the show, I found I kind of liked it. Though the show does include characters who are racist, the show as a whole is not. It’s the story of a boy’s life. He had to struggle and work through a lot of hard things, but in the end he became successful because he never gave up. That might make it sound cheesy, but it’s not.  The acting is pretty good (sometimes overdone, but it is a comedy) and the voice-over narrator is really funny. He ties the whole show together. Overall, I think it’s a pretty funny show that people should watch if there’s nothing else on. I wouldn’t seek it out, but if it’s on I’ll watch it.

Real Teen Rating~ B : Sure, you should watch this.
