Erin & Aaron

When I started watching the first episode, I already saw that it was a copy of Drake and Josh, which is a series that I love. But I got interested, and kept watching. In the end, I realized that it wasn't 100% like Drake and Josh. But still, it's not a very good series.

It's a super cliché series, the classic family plot. Besides Natasha's character, it makes me SO ANGRY! It makes me want to punch her every time she appears. But, it has its positive points too. Unlike most Nick series, it doesn't have very random and meaningless things appearing out of nowhere. Like "Henry Danger". Even though the themes of the episodes are kind of random sometimes.

In the end, Erin & Aaron is a series that is neither good nor bad, it's somewhere in between.

This is Nickelodeon's best show in recent times. I hope they continue this show because it does have potential and I really do think this the networks best work from the past 3 years. It's genuinely funny, the actors are great, the dynamic between the characters are fun & genuine, and it has heart. That's something really important about shows, especially ones made by networks like Nickelodeon. It's nice to Larisa Oleynik come back to Nickelodeon, so that's a nice especially for older & newer audiences since if you grew up watching Alex Mack then you're in for a nice treat, and if you're a youngster then you get to be introduced to her and her amazing work. Erin & Aaron is rock, and so does the them song. Erin & Aaron a fun family show that deserves to be continued.

Combines the set layout of Henry Danger with the Joke-VomitOfLaughter-Joke-VomitOfLaughter style of Two & a Half Men with exceedingly crass parents and with an irritatingly mean little girl in the likes of Drake & Josh and Henry Danger but without any of the charm or appeal of Megan and Piper. Determinedly watched all episodes and succeeded (taking several days in-between to recover). The presentation either calmed down a little by the seventh episode of I simply acclimated to it. Typically vapid modern-day adolescent pop music. (Loved only the hard rock guitar song about an astronaut dog by a competitor in episode 13 - sounded really good). Blame everything on the script, kept deliberately dumb but given high octane fuel. Cast seems all right (replaceable but competent). Highly unrealistic. Filled with lame ideas ('cause all the good ones have been taken?). Too much of an unrelenting formula pounded repeatedly into the public.

For better or worse, they love this show. There are some funny moments, a fair amount of questionable parenting, and the focus on original music is nice. The laugh track itself gives me some nostalgia to similar shows made in the 90s. It's a little tortured in places and the story line doesn't always make a lot of sense, but I think that's on brand for what the show is trying to be. I do hope they make a second season of this show, as I do think it has some great potential for future story lines given where season one ended. Also, a few of the songs are really catchy, whether I like it or not. Do I find myself singing "Cash for boots" under my breath from time to time? Yes. Yes I do.

Apparently, good writers are scarce these days, and "Erin and Aaron" is a proof that Nickelodeon couldn't get anyone for this uninspired, lame show.

It's hard to find an intelligent line in this show composed by sketches already done before a hundred times. Instead, the show is filled with stupid situations like the little girl successfully bribing her art teacher with banned cookies to be granted with an A+ grade and other examples I prefer not to describe fully here. It's also really sad to watch Larisa Oleynik reciting dull dialogues and I can't understand why some so called writers find funny to include a boy with crutches just to mock at him.

As to Ava Ro, I can see she's got some talent for comedy and can sing a little, that's why it would be better for her to quit this nonsense and pursue some really worthy projects (see Olivia Rodrigo, she starred in a terrible Disney show and now she's got three Grammy Awards). The rest of the cast is like... nothing to see here (Sorry, Larisa).

Finally, I strongly advise you to skip this show. Nickelodeon won't give your 25 minutes per episode back and you should spend that time watching a real comedy instead.
