Best Friends - Zu jeder Zeit

I'm tempted to give this a 10 just to offset all the people giving it a 1.

I mean... a 1? Sorry. A 1 is not a rational reaction. That's saying this is the WORST thing you've ever seen. That's crazy. That's deep emotional trigger stuff.

This is an upbeat, nice show about friends loving each other, solving various friend crises with honesty and compassion, and having silly adventures together. The over the top gag writing is clever and amusing. It certainly isn't bad, and CERTAINLY no worse than I've seen elsewhere. All in all, this show is well meaning and fun.

Now.., WHY does that upset some people so much? Touched a nerve, did it? I think it did!

I know several teen girls who really enjoy Best Friends Whenever, but if they read the reviews here might double think that. What an ugly thing to do. Because, heavens, we can't have young women absorbing positive messages about friendship. Girls are supposed to hate each other! Don't you know that? I think some of that negative advertising which saturates our culture, that horrid stuff which strives to make girls despise themselves and mistrust others, to not reach out to form nourishing bonds with others, has poisoned too many people here.

If you're knee jerking into hating this sweet and friendly program, then maybe you need to pause long enough to examine WHY you're reacting that way!

Seriously! What is WRONG with you??

So, enjoy this fun little show. Ignore the trolls. Love your friends.

This is a great Disney teenage series for all viewers to watch and enjoy. The crew did a splendid job in creating this Disney teenage series. There were some parts throughout this entire Disney teenage series that could have been a lot better and stronger. The storyline throughout this entire Disney teenage series was brilliant and strong and had enough direction. The cast selection throughout this entire Disney teenage series was fine. They fully committed to the storyline and to their respective characters. The chemistry that was displayed throughout this entire Disney teenage series between the cast members was strong enough.

Really this is a show that will probably give you a bit of a surprise. The premise is quite simple: Best Friends Cyd and Shelby, following an accident in their friend Barry's lab, allows them to travel through time by touching the other and thinking of a time period. Cue wacky hijinks .

So far it sounds pretty familiar and sure enough, upon first sight Best Friends Whenever appears to be nothing more than another of your standard Disney high concept teen shows, light hearted and harmless fun sure, but nothing to special or memorable.

But really, keep watching and you'll be surprised. This show is a lot deeper and more complex than it first seems, the level of thought the writers have actually put into the concept of time travel is more than you would expect. Good examples of this are the episodes "The Butterscotch Effect" and "Shake Your Booty" Both of which take a good look at two questions that probably will emerge in you're minds after the first few episodes.

Likewise this show also maintains a concise story arc, a subtle but strong continuity and a pretty intriguing driving question.

The show also benefits from a cast who effortlessly play off each other. The chemistry between the main characters is organic and feels realistic, the bonds between them feel realistic. Likewise the four main characters are well balanced, likable and entertaining.

Now that's not to say this is perfect, like to many other's of its type it falls into the trap of a superfluous annoying younger sibling (or siblings in this case). Likewise not all the humour hits exactly the right mark, and its pretty clear that everyone is still getting used to this so for the first few episodes. Still none of these flaws feel like anything worse than what can be ironed out with a bit of experience.

All in all, I would recommend giving it a try. It really is cut above your average Disney teen show.

Honestly; I don't get what people are complaining about. This show is one of the best that Disney has now in my opinion! I'm 20 years old and never miss an episode of Best Friends Whenever! Growing up with Disney and seeing a lot of Disney shows I can defiantly say this show is one of the best. Sure at first it seems bland and boring; but if you keep watching there is a story line in each season and it's actually getting deeper and progressing more as it goes along! Each cast member is getting better with their acting and their character's and some of the plot holes are even getting filled in more as we go. Yes, this show has it's flaws; but honestly it's one of the better Disney shows. It's super friendly, family safe, kid safe, and it teaches kids that having a best friend and being a best friend is important and a good issue to understand. So don't hate the show, give it a try! It's silly; fun; fantasy and the situations they get into are dead on relatable.

Best Friends Whenever is a Disney Channel show about two best friends who get the ability to time travel. The way their abilities work is when they touch each other and think of a time they "jump" into their bodies from that time(unless they travel outside of their lifetime). They don't use this power to become superheroes but instead just mess around with it. They used this power to order a pizza 45 minutes earlier so they don't have to wait. They go back in time a few years to eat a burrito that was banned when they were seventh schoolers. They time travel to get back at a classmate that's insulting them. This form of time travel is refreshing because it allows for a very character focused show. The main characters have been friends since kindergarten and think they know everything about each other, and their time traveling brings forth things they didn't. It's not a perfect show, it ends up sharing a lot of problems many other disney channel shows have regarding cliches and cheesy dialogue. But despite that it's still a pretty unique show that is different from a lot of other time travel shows in a good way, and I hope we get more time travel shows like this one.
