Teen Buzz

I managed to get my hands on advance screening copies for a number of episodes from this great new show, and I was really impressed with how quickly the show found its stride and developed into something truly extraordinary. This is what this country has been waiting for for a long time: a true sit com on a par with the best of its U.S. counterparts! Like all great shows aimed at young people, there are plenty of laughs here to keep the parents tuning in along with their kids. The cast is made up of some truly gifted young actors, and together they create an ensemble that brought to mind what the cast of Friends might have been like if they all met when they were in Junior High.

With respect to the show's writing, the dynamics between the characters--and the situations they all get themselves into--are consistently smart, engaging, and never seem to talk down to its young audience members. And somehow they manage to strike that delicate balance of sentiment and high jinx.

For my money, this show has more entertainment value packed into one frame than a whole season of Degrassi.

This show is probably the coolest, funniest show for kids or teens ever. I would love to work at a place like Teen Buzz! The characters get to cover interesting stuff and people for the magazine, they still go to school, and of course, crushes develop... I understand not loving a show and having your own opinion, but the negative stuff that some people have said, IMO, is totally because the actors look young. Like, reeeally young in the first season! Everyone is so use to seeing 25 year olds playing 15 year olds that it's weird to see people the right age. So I bet some people say, oh this is a little kiddie show, it's dumb! Instead they should give it a chance because it is smart and does stuff other shows don't. As for wasting forum space talking about laugh tracks, wow. I sure do not get that! Laugh tracks have only been on most sitcoms since the fifties! Anyway, check out this show. I think you will love it and will get hooked on the different relationships for sure!!

This show is very welcome in our home! I have watched this with my kids on several occasions and we all enjoy it immensely! I personally believe that there is a lot of great Canadian work, and this is certainly among what I enjoy. For those fellow Canadians that grew up enjoying Mr. Dressup, the homage to him through "Ernie Coombs High School" was great to see. We found the characters were an interesting cross section of individuals. the interplay between these characters from all walks of life will give rise to many interesting conflicts, I am sure. We are particularly interested in seeing the development of the characters of the teacher and the editor. They serve as interesting and contrasting support for the kids. This is a great show for kids, clearly written from their perspective. Mr. Piaskoski has done a wonderful job, and is a great example of what Canadian work can achieve.

Normally I don't hate kid's shows, but this one is just terrible. The acting is wooden, the characters are all unlikeable, and the plot is not as interesting as the advertisements made it out to be. It may be just a kid's show, but not even kid's will enjoy it. My niece finds it extremely boring and unfunny.

The show has two huge flaws that make it practically unwatchable. The first, is the god-awful acting. I know they're inexperience kids and all, but come on, they can do way better. Their delivery is off, and the way they act, especially during the comedic scenes, is incredibly awkward. It seems they are trying to hard to make the dialogue funny, which is hard to do because of the horrible script.

The second flaw is the laugh track. We've all seen it in Disney shows before; a character does or says something funny, and you hear an audience laugh. The laugh track in this show, is completely overused and annoying. After practically every line of dialogue, you hear the audience laugh. I am beginning to doubt there is even a real audience, and that the laughing is prerecorded.

This show is a definite waste of time, and painfully over advertised. It's a show that simply isn't worth your time. 1/10 stars.

The Latest Buzz is a great show! I watch it with my younger sister and we find it hilarious!!!

I happen to like the laugh track...I mean who wants to laugh alone??? It adds to the show rather than taking away from it!

The actors do a great job too. I think they are extremely talented and play their roles well! The characters are all very likable! They always come through for one another, which is a great lesson for anyone to take from the show.

I love how they write about different things like music, fashion, sports, etc. Most of all, I love the fact that this show encourages journalism!

Kudos to The Latest Buzz!!
