100 Dinge bis zur Highschool

This is a story about three friends in their last year of middle school. One guy starts to become very serious about studying, and another becomes suddenly popular, leaving the third to be very concerned about the future of their friendship. She tries to think up reasons to get the trio back together. She comes up with an idea of a project/challenge. One of the teachers captured a raccoon and keeps it in a cage in his classroom. The three embark on a mission to free the raccoon.

As you can imagine, it's not easy, and something always seems to go wrong. Some of the mishaps they have are hilarious involving destruction of a newly renovated luxury office that the new principal is so proud of and being pursued by the principal and other staff. It made me lol out loud. At the end, the friendship triangle is renewed and the three look forward to many adventures during their last year of middle school.

Um, let's see, well to start off, I must admit it is an entertaining show, but let's look at the reason for that: It is almost an exact copy of Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide which was a show I loved in my childhood. Scott Fellows must have thought, "oh no one will remember that show 10 years later" when he created this. Sure it's funny, but all I can think of is how similar it is to Ned in almost every way. That aside, perhaps that's the only reason I'm drawn to watch it, perhaps it wouldn't interest me if it didn't remind me of Ned, I mostly search for the similarities when I'm watching it and find it hard to enjoy as its own story. However if you never seen Ned's declassified school survival guide, this is your next best option for cheesy (genuinely quite funny) shenanigans from middle schoolers now that Ned is off the air for quite a few years already. Definitely a nice comedic show for today's generation who hasn't seen Ned I suppose, but still in 2nd place when you compare the 2.

The best i can give this show is a 6/10. It's just that when watching this show, i just kept thinking of other shows it reminded me of. Mostly Ned's Declassified with the whole Middle school plot and the Missy character. The main character are a girl, a boy, and an African-American kid. The Main character the girl talk a little like Katy fro Big time rush and feels like Jennifer, the male kid felt like Kendall and James were put into a blender and poured into a shot glass, and the African-American Kid is Cookie, but less tech- savvy and feels like Logan. The Principal is in a way VP Crubbs, but not really that guy that'll prevent you from getting in trouble. He's more like a laid back principal that honestly wants to friend the students. The episodes are basically the main character sees something in the school or her family and they do something about it. One thing i didn't like about it is the name sounds like being in HS is a bad thing, because the only thing that happens at high school is Teen Pregnancy and multiple deaths, like Degrassi. That's my two cents, it's okay

Poor man's "Ned survival guide". Same premise, same-ish characters, same dynamics. Only everything feels flat, main cast has no chemistry or relationship growth, school feels empty and more of a set than a school. Everything seems made with less effort and heart and it's just a half cooked version of Ned's doing mostly same things but worse. Scott my boy, even re-used some of the same plot lines. The show even got the same sound effects that add nothing this time around, way less gags and jokes and nobody learns nothing or improves. And main characters are more annoying, the teachers are a joke. No wonder it only got 25 episodes in total. Weak sauce / 10, just watch the older one, it has more style and loce put in it.

100 Things to Do Before High School is funny and entertaining, two words I never thought I'd use with a Nick sitcom again. Most "Nick-coms" of the past few years have ranged from clichéd (iCarly and Victorious) to inconsistent (The Thundermans) to just awful (Haunted Hathaways). But 100 Things, created by Scott Fellows (Ned's Declassified) is simply brilliant.

Like Ned's Declassified, the show focuses on the lives of three middle-schoolers: C. J. (Isabela Moner), Crispo (Owen Joyner), and Fenwick (Jaheem Toombs). Together, they make a to-do list of everything they need to do before high school. The premise sounds hackneyed, but the result is anything but.

The acting from almost everyone involved is top-notch. Moner brings effortless charm to C. J., one of the most likable leads in any teen sitcom I have seen. Unlike recent Nick female leads, she's not a drama queen and doesn't overact, lending her character a relatable charm. Toombs and Joyner compliment each other well; Toombs's Fenwick obsesses over details while Joyner's Crispo takes a decidedly laid-back approach. Even the supporting cast, including venomous bully Mindy Minus (Brady Reiter) and guidance counselor/voice of reason Mr. Roberts (Jack De Sena, better known for playing Sokka on Avatar The Last Airbender).

Refreshingly, there's no laugh track present, and the writing is so good that it doesn't need one. In fact, the writers are the same geniuses behind Fellows' Ned's Declassified. As in Ned's Declassified, the writers never hesitate to throw in surreal or random elements, often to hilarious effect.

If you've given up on quality programming from Nickelodeon, I highly recommend 100 Things to Do Before High School. It's creative and funny and I hope it gets the long run it deserves.
