When I decided to attempt to give everything on Disney Plus a try, it was the show's like "ANT Farm" that I was particularly concerned about. There appear to be endless, witless, crappy, canned laughter shows like this, that I'm going to have to have a shot at. I watched two episodes before deciding that life was too short, which equates to just over 3% of the shows complete output.

11 year old music prodigy Chyna Parks (China Anne McClain) joins high school early, as part of the advanced natural talents (A.N.T) programme. There she meets Olive (Sierra McCormick) and Fletcher (Jake Short) fellow wunderkind who warn her about the tribulations of the older kids at the school. These include Lexi (Stefanie Scott) the schools head cheerleader who immediately takes against Chyna, but also her older brother Cameron (Carlon Jeffery) who isn't keen about sharing a school with his younger sister.

I am miles away from the target audience for something like "ANT Farm" and had it not been for my stupid quest to watch stuff blind, would never have come across it. Though there's potential in some of the cast ultimately I can't say that I enjoyed it. I'm not going to criticise the kids for their stageschool overacting (any further than just mentioning it there). I'm sure it's what they were told to do and depending on the character performances run from promising to nails down a blackboard. I will throw some shade in the direction of Zach Steel and his character of Gibson, the student councillor. He's spectacularly awful, a gurning unfunny jackass. It's a hugely broad style of comedy, that I'd imagine might appeal to kids of that age. Silly, slapstick style humour that I felt got old pretty quickly. I should say that each of the two episodes I watched, did raise a smile in me at some point though.

I feel like, though I didn't care for "ANT Farm" much I fear that further investigation of shows available on Disney Plus may end up with me looking back fondly on it.

It's cute, silly and a bit of fun. Although it will never win any awards it still has it's charm. The characters may be a little weird and out there but they are entertaining in their own ways. China Anne McClain is certainly the star of the show and has great potential. The occasional catchy fun song is thrown in from time to time which also adds to the likability of the show. While it is not superb television it will entertain you.

There are good episodes and bad ones and luckily they ended the show on a high before it dragged out too long. It is great for kids, not so much for people with short attention spans but it really is not that bad.

Advanced Natural Talent, that's what an ANT is in the world of high school Magic Kingdom style. Some of these kids are stretching the boundaries of what might be talent. One young lady has a photographic memory, another kid makes robots, one is an aspiring gymnast. But our protagonist young Chyna Ann McLain only sings beautifully. All the kids are too young for high school and none of them really fit in, nor do the others try. In fact one of them is Carlon Jeffrey who is Chyna's older brother and he's more of a traditional misfit.

ANT Farm is neither the best or the worst of Disney's juvenile comedy shows. It's like Hannah Montana in that it really only comes alive when a very talented young lady like Miley Cyrus opens up and sings.

This show really needs to be reworked. It seems to be a Hannah Montana knock-off. The lead character is a singer (without the secret identity). Since the show began I have come to seriously dislike the Chyna Parks character she is constantly bossing her friends around insisting that they do what she wants with little concern for their feelings of ideas. The show would be much better if she went from a lead character to a costar and they elevated the other characters to equal status. The two cheerleaders Lexi and Paisley are good though they should make Paisley a bit smarter (she is in High School after all). And Lexi's schemes always make me laugh. The Angus character just needs to go away he is absolutely useless. Since the show began he was only useful in one episode. Finesse Mitchell is hilarious as the dad (Darryl) but I think that there are some Cops out there that may not care for him. Overall if they tone down Chyna and spotlight the other characters this show will be a really good show.

Update: After watching pretty much every episode I think I have figured out the basic storyline for each episode.

The show opens with one or more of the cast members either wanting to do something not wanting to do something or doing something.

Enter Chyna. She sees what is happening and she either doesn't want the cast member do something, wants them to do something or wants to do it herself.

She comes up with a plan to get her way; regardless of what her "friend(s)" want.

She drafts her "friends" into helping her. Her plan fails. She sings a song.

Chyna's "friends" apologize.

I put "friends" in parenthesis because she doesn't treat them like true friends. Also they are still using the autotuner for Chyna's songs. This is usually used for people that do not sing very well. So its use confuses me since I cannot believe that Disney would have somebody sing if they really can't

This show is awful. Unfortunately my kids (8 and 6) like it, so I have unhappily watched several episodes with them. The combination of overacting and horrible writing is almost unbearable. There are some Disney shows that I actually like, for example "Good Luck Charlie" and "That's So Random", so I know it is possible for Disney to make good quality TV shows geared toward kids, A.N.T. Farm is not one of them. The characters are very caricature-like with silly idiosyncrasies, for example, Olive has many phobias, including a phobia of curly fries?? Many of the other characters are just ridiculous, like Gibson. I really can't say enough bad things about this show.

This show is just stupid fun so if you are expecting a great series with a lot of seriousness to it you should stick to something like Breaking Bad or Boardwalk Empire. It is about China, a girl who is seen as being a very gifted child, so she goes away to a very special training school and basically becomes an action superstar and also very smart. I'm not sure what else to say about this show other than what I have already. The gags in it are kind of fun but again nothing genius here, it is just a fun no-brainer show to have some fun wasting time and watching with friends. I need to write another line so I will just say check it out.

I've watched this show a few times. It doesn't get any better each time. This show has predictable outcomes, predictable punchlines, and unrealistic scenarios. First off, it's about middle school gifted kids getting accepted into a high school program known as the "ANT" program. The show centers around everything but this. It should be centered around the these kids use their talents to solve problems, or how to get through high school being a middle schooler. Not to stray from the show, or perpetuate you with my own opinions. This show doesn't present a very likable cast. Starting with Olive Doyle. She is loud and very annoying. It boggles me how they could find humor in her character. Fletcher and Angus are both immature, not very bright and always just try to hard to make you laugh. Is it their fault? No, it's the horrible and simplistic writing. Last is the horrible messages that get delivered. In a lot of episodes you'll see situations that could tarnish a kids mind. Whether it's the cruel cheerleader (Lexi) or the stupid one (Paisley). If you want to further advance your mind, stay away from this pile of rubble, and stereotyping garbage.

As much as I did grow up on Disney, I do dislike most of the stuff on the Disney Channel nowadays. I do like very much Sonny with a Chance, Good Luck Charlie and Phineas and Ferb, but there are some like Hannah Montana and Shake it Up that I can't stand, I find those shows irritating and unfunny.

I actually wasn't expecting much from A.N.T Farm, but got far more than I expected and in a good way. I can understand though why some mayn't like A.N.T. Farm, some of it is cheesy(with a rather edgy reference to Satan at one point) and the pilot episode is not as funny or as exciting as the other episodes(the haunted locker episode was one of the better episodes).

That said, I do think A.N.T. Farm has potential to grow. A lot of TV series when they first start are rocky to start with, and get better until they're great. Although A.N.T. Farm has only just started, it's not bad, in fact I like it.

For instance, the production values are well above average, with trendy fashions, sets that don't look tacky and good(if not award-worthy) photography. The music is also very memorable and catchy, with nice melodies and lyrics that make sense and are intelligible.

The writing is amusing mostly, some of it is cheesy, but the dialogue does make me laugh and the jokes are not as clichéd or as stale as they can be on some Disney Channel shows. The story lines may have some predictable moments, but overall they're interesting and well paced.

I personally really like the characters. Chyna is very charismatic and fun, and the actress who plays her seems to be having a ball playing her, but my favourites are Lexi and Olive, played very appealingly by Stefanie Scott and Sierra McCormick. Paisley, Gibson and especially Fletcher are also fun characters. The actors do have chemistry, and I was most surprised by the singing, the lead actress has real talent and could go a long way with a voice like that.

In conclusion, this show to start with is not perfect, but it's far better than expected and has room to grow. 8/10 Bethany Cox

I watched all of the episodes. There were several that were rather amusing. There were a couple of them that really could have remained unaired. But, the majority of them were entertaining. I have one problem with the show. I realize that they were all prodigies in one specific area. That is fine. However, in order for them to all be sent to high school, they would have had to be able to work academically at a high school level. There were several of the A.N.T.s that did not have anywhere near a high school level of knowledge and there is no way they would have been allowed to go to high school. I think the premise was fine, but they needed to make sure that not only did they have some area of expertise making them prodigies, but they also needed to have the academic abilities as well. Or, as happened in the last year of the show, they all should have been sent to a special school that was set up specifically for prodigies and the academics could have been tailored to each person's individual level of knowledge. The one girl that was in the high school and was not a prodigy was so stupid, she would have failed kindergarten. They needed to make her character completely different. She was just so stupid and unbelievable that she really did not add anything to the show.

DO NOT READ THE OTHER REVIEWS this show is the best show I ever watched China Ann McClain is the best actress of this generation. not to mention the principal was so hot damn I wish I could date her and the brother was the best kablamo was a banger. So in conclusion WATCH THIS SHOW NOW

What is going on with Disney Channel right now? Well after seeing (most of) this show I can sadly say that it has become the epitome of how I view Disney Channel.

I can't even say something good to give it some justice. So what this show is it's a comedy that has a lousy script that makes it effortless for the writers to do work. These writers don't have a clue on how to write kids and what their social life is. Since it is a channel for teens, preteens, or maybe even children watch this garbage, the "actors" have to be at the same brain level as the target audience even if the adults have to act like children and not real people.

The main part is to keep the audience at least captivated for a half of an hour and to just have lame boring humor that only a young child could laugh at. I can't see anyone my age (17) or older to actually laugh and care for this show. Ultimately there are going to be people that doesn't agree with me but the characters are as bad as the flat jokes that exhale through their lungs. I can't really say for their acting capabilities since the directors doesn't really put forth any effort. Their young and barely inexperienced but I don't have any remorse for the adults that may have actually took acting classes. Though they don't have much of a script to work with it's still the whole thing has to be a team effort therefore it doesn't work for me.

One thing with Disney Channel these days is to take their young stars and cash in the success what brings to them. After take in the next in line to be celebrity and who knows what will happen to them after. They picked China a youthful girl that would already become a success on her own, but chose this career instead. They haven't done anything spectacular and will be surprised to see any brilliance come upon them later in their acting career.

I can't relate to the characters, it has no redeeming jokes, directing is lazy including the writing, and the acting can't even come off as a school play. I'm not able to recommend this to anyone that is older than a toddler because believe it or not if the channel had a face it would be A.N.T. Farm with no questions asked.

Now I haven't gone in detail on what doesn't work in this show and for good reason because you see if I did that would mean that I take up more room and time for you to read my thoughts on A.N.T. Farm. So if you are still curious on seeing how bad it really is and why this was a particularly short rant on this subject. Than if you still want to see for your self in the nonsense than don't come back at all.

Disney Channel... why? I mean really what's with all the shows? Seriously, I'm just tired of this.

Look, I'm just going to say it simply... This is a rip off of Victorious. Tori Vega goes to a school for advanced arts because she's really good at singing. Chyna goes to a school for advanced arts because she's really good at singing. Tori has some weird friends. Chyna has weird friends. Tori has an older sibling that goes to the same school. Chyna also has one as well. They both have very strange teachers, Sikowitz and the afro freak. Victorious- 2010 A.N.T. Farm- 2011

I hated this crap, it was trash, its called Trash farm when i showed it to my friends! You know i was in a program that i NEEDED, it was helpful and gave me a chance to thrive, and I'm a better person for it. I'm not one to say that i can say crap about things more than once. I also noticed that the china girl abuses her gift, you know those kids need to be grateful, for there are those among normal people that would do anything to have such great talents, its discrimination against people with talents, like me and everyone else who have talents as well.

i cants say i want anything bad to happen to this, but if they just destroyed it, and then made it something else thats less, discriminating then i would watch it, in all my life, i loved Disney channel until the end of Wizards, then i just quit and if this show died and became a more classic like Lizzie or thats so raven then that last piece of old Disney would come back, long story short Change everything and stop discrimination of us who have as much talent as the kids do!

Firstly I'm in the target audience range and I hate the show. The only thing saving this show from a 1 is the theme song which is one of the best out of all the Disney shows on air now. The characters are irritable and annoying especially Chyna Parks and Gibson, who seems like he has been placed in there to be very funny because of his stupidness. He's not. No one would ever be anything like him. For example he has "everything" in his hair such as pens and tissue. Chyna also over acts on mainly everything and uses a really high pitch and then suddenly low pitch voice for everything as well, which is very painful to listen too. I must also point out that everyone else over acts too. My favourite episode is when Chyna looses her voice! However I do like the two girls who are coincidently mean to the ANTS.. My overall view on the programme is that it is just plain rubbish. A ting is rubbish, story lines are rubbish even the whole idea of the show is rubbish!

ANT FARM is a new show on Disney and it is really funny. What I like about it is that is just straight forward jokes. It is just trying to be funny and they have a great cast that knows how to play the humor. I love the theme song and the lead girl is super talented. But I like how they have not been cramming songs down the viewer's throat every episode. Olive and Fletcher are really funny and how they play off of everyone else. Lexi, Angus, Paisley are funny too. In the adults, I like how mean Principal is and Gibson is an idiot but he really makes me laugh. In the pilot I was not so sure about the brother. But he was super funny in the haunted locker episode. Hi, Locker Neighbor! Yes, I would want Olive to move as well. I now never miss an episode - DVR'd for Friday night!

Not a single ant in the whole searies, I can't believe they wuld allow dis attttttrocity on public television.😠

I was really surprised when I saw those reviews and kept thinking:"What is wrong with this?" I LOVE this show and I don't understand what the heck is wrong with it!It's funny,interesting,good plot,funny characters,annoying antagonist and good cast.There are two things that kept me watching this show for 3 seasons 1)I like the idea 2)LOL this is so funny!I think people hate it because Disney Channel supposedly got "bad" but that's not true!I'm gonna give you some examples of good Disney Channel shows from the new generation:A.N.T. farm,Gravity Falls,Amphibia,Big City Greens,Liv and Maddie,Good Luck Charlie,Jessie,Girl Meets World etc.I totally recommend it and I give it a 10 outta 10

The show was a generic attempt at being generic.

It was never on the level of that's so raven or previous legendary Disney shows.

It tries to be funny but in all honesty it failed.

Eye candy sure. Entertaining nah.

I have watched Disney Channel since I was 6. At that age, they had some good shows, like Lizzie McGuire and That's So Raven, and Phil of the Future and Life With Derek, as well as So Weird, also worked too. However, with the birth of "Hannah Montana," Disney went majorly down-hill. Wizards and Good luck Charlie were amusing and tolerable, but Fish Hooks is really stupid and annoying -and Shake it Up?!?! Come on, I loathe the THEME SONG of that...that...(It's so dumb I cannot even call it a show.) However, A.N.T. Farm (and maybe their new show,Jessie) may bring Disney, while not to its former prime (that can never happen again), at least a bigger fan base and less patheticness.I think A.N.T. Farm is, while sometimes cheesy,Cute, eye catching, and watchable! I like the principal a LOT, and Wacky The Wolf random appearances,well...that's ant-tastic! Hahahahahahahahhaaaaaaaa! OK, that's enough random ANT-humor.
