Backstage

Occasionally the Disney Studios imports some shows from other countries for its lineup. Following in the tradition of Life With Derek and My Babysitter's A Vampire from Canada comes Backstage. If I had to best describe it, it's a version of Fame done like a reality show.

A whole lot of talented teens are the students of a performing arts high school, talented in real life as they are on the small screen. But this is structured like a reality show. Backstage is the story of a lot of talented teens going to a performing arts high school like the one in Fame. We see the kids both performing and in interviews telling of their various issues, with faculty, with each other, and mostly their own angst about knowing whether they have the right stuff.

Backstage is a nice and pleasant and unassuming show. With no star regulars per se carrying it on name recognition here's hoping it lasts for a while.

I live in the U.S., so I have to watch it on Disney. The Disney shows have been going downhill, as everyone already knows. The only actual shows I watch on this channel are the Canadian imports. Sometimes they stop airing them, so I must watch it online. To be completely honest, I had low expectations for this series. But, after watching the premiere, I grow to enjoy this show a lot.

This show is a drama containing high school students going through trouble with their relationships at Keaton. This show clings into the story of their troubling problems and having to stay close to one another. The stress these students face is relatable. It seems it would be enjoyable for teens. But, young children might find this show a bit confusing.

Overall, this is one of the most remarkable drama I've seen in a while. Though it barely ever comes on anymore, I still watch the episodes constantly online. I can watch the same ones nonstop, and still be interested in what happens.

Backstage is an amazing show with likable characters, nicely thought-out messages, and a compelling plot. I recommend this show. You won't regret watching this drama.

This show is amazing and i loved it i wish there was a season 3.

I love how the show is set at an arts school and it is so good. I love how its so fun to watch but not cheesy like other shows can be. The show is so relatable and the talent that the show produces is incredible. I need a season three of Backstage! If there is no season three, I will not be happy! Everyone who loves Backstage needs to come together and make a fan club for the show so that the producers and creators of the show can see how much we love the show. I suggest that we start doing this now because the actors are getting older and moving on to other shows so we need to show them how much we love the show before it is too late!

Disney has made some good sitcoms, and some bad ones. But never have I seen a sitcom like this before. Backstage is about these teens who have talent, dealing with the pressure that's put on them in school by teacher's and students. But Degrassi has a almost similar plot. They always have problems at school, home, drugs, sexuality Etc. I never really heard of the show ( probably because of the viewer ratings? ) but trying to compete with there version of drama, and nickelodeons version wouldn't be easy. Disney always want's to make there TV shows "Family friendly" but end up making annoying ones that kids at the age of 6-14 won't bother watching. I'm not saying the show is bad, but the drama doesn't grab viewers attention when the director was attending to. Maybe the writers just forgot what drama was like for them when they where teens. Just watching a clip from YouTube made me incurious from watching another one. They mostly just have really boring arguments that again doesn't appeal to anyone. If your looking for a decent drama that's more for teens, skip this show. If your looking for a family friendly drama you've found the right show.
