Die Zauberer vom Waverly Place

Okay so I'm not a tween or anything. People would prolly say I'm too old to watch Disney. I'm almost 18 and the shows on Disney channel are not funny at all to me or anyone my age. Maybe little kids find them funny but the jokes are so tired and unoriginal. I.E. Hannah Montana, Suite Life of Zack and Cody. They're entertaining to watch but not funny.

Wizards of Waverly Place is surprisingly funny. I would not expect this from a Disney show but it is celever, witty, and I laugh out loud sometimes. The actors are believable and relateable and it is not only entertaining but hysterical to watch. I think it is a bit more mature than all of the other little Disney shows based on 11 and 12 year olds. It is appealing to me and I enjoy watching it =]

i am 20 years old and surely not much of an avid fan of Disney..But i really had fun on this one.. If you are a person who has a good sense of humor, no doubt you will get hooked..

i like Selena, she is pretty, talented and a versatile actress even if she's only 16.. and not to mention she is way better than Miley. Her acting is so natural,the way she delivers her lines were very good.. And if you are a person who wants to start your day with a big smile on your face you came to the right place. The roles was acted well by the cast especially Justin, their conversation with Selena was always funny. So people you wont regret it, support WOWP.

Before I start, I just have to say that I am not a big fan of the Disney Channel. I don't watch it for the most part. However, I was channel surfing one day and stumbled on this show. I thought, "Well, I've never seen this before. Maybe it won't be as bad as some of the other stuff on here." I have to say that I was right! This show is appealing for the "tweenage" population but also for people in other age groups (myself included). "Wizards" is also pretty funny (albeit some of the humor is a bit cheesy, I have to admit that it still gets a chuckle out of me!). Selena Gomez is definitely another rising star. I had never even heard of her before this show, but now I count myself as one of her fans. Jake T. Austin is simply adorable, and David Henrie is pretty cute ;) I think that viewers of most ages will probably enjoy this show (if they can stand some overplayed gags and corny jokes). Personally, I think it's a lot better than anything else they show on that channel, so if you're like myself and think that everything on Disney Channel is stupid and little-kiddish, I recommend that you check this show out - maybe it will change your opinion. It did mine!

Okay, Wizards of Waverly Place is not perfect, it was very predictable at the beginning and the special effects can be very basic and cheesy. However, I can't help liking the show. Whereas there are some shows that started off okay or good and are now pretty bad, Wizards of Waverly Place was a rarity that started off ropey but for me actually got better over time. Effects aside, the production values are pretty decent and the music is nice and funky. The story lines are easy to follow and are amusing and the writing is funny and sometimes clever too. The characters are endearing, even Alex. She can have her bratty moments but also her likable ones too. The acting is pretty good as well, I like Selena Gomez and I think she has potential. Overall, I have a soft spot for Wizards of Waverly Place and for me it is one of the better Disney Channel shows, and considering how bad some of them are that is saying quite a bit. 8/10 Bethany Cox

This show delivers on so many more levels than most would expect from a Disney Channel show. It reminds me of the good ol' sitcoms i grew loving, Home Improvement, Fresh Prince of Bel Air & Saved by the Bell. Its a show the parents can enjoy watching with their kids, instead of counting the minutes until its over.

vs Hannah Montana: This is not the usual cookie cutter sitcom that Hannah Montana tends to be. The jokes are not all based on "wacky moments". They have done a great job with character development and getting you to care about what they are doing. Selena Gomez surpasses Miley Cyrus by leaps and bounds as an actress. And i can see her growing up and following in the foot steps of the likes of Amanda Bynes or Hilary Duff, in finding great success.

Characters: -Max (the youngest) is for the younger audience, from 7-10 -Justin (oldest) is the goofy one, which every great sitcom has (Screech, Jazz & Al) -The parents are great characters that are given great moments on the show. And have a great amount of depth -Alex, the main character is all around likable. The psychology of her comedy is is far more mature than you would expect. And Selena does a great selling every joke. There are moments that her timing is that of the Office.

Conclusion: It may not be everybody's flavor, but many will be pleased. The kids fall in love with the show and it will grow on you too, given a fair shake. Its no 30 Rock or Office, but it is...Wizards of Waverly Place. And the best way to describe it in short, is fun.
