Jessie

This is my six-year-old daughter's favorite show ever. My son who is thirteen admits to really liking it too, so the three of us have a good time watching it together. Of all the shows of the Disney Channel, this is the best by far. It's smart, cheeky, and funny enough for parent who might be watching the show with their kids. It also gives its characters enough credit to allow them to be serious and to grow and change. This is a big step for Disney because so many of the characters in their TV programs are rather one-dimensional.

The plot set-up of rich kids being cared-for by the nanny ( Jessie ) and the butler ( Burtrum ) rather than their rarely-there parents is old. There really aren't too many exciting things to be done with it. It works here because you like the characters and their relationships. The kids all need fleshed-out a bit, particularly the teenage daughter Emma. All the characters need to take a few risks, and I hope they do.

I watch this show with my kids (2 and 11) and they love it! The music is catchy and the characters are pretty funny. They are always in some kind of crazy mess only rich people can get into and their means of cleaning it up are entertaining as well. The only objection I have to this show is I don't like how Zuri is portrayed as being so ghetto. Wasn't she raised by her adoptive parents? Wouldn't she sound like the rest of the family? All that neck action and "mmmm-hmmmms" upset me. My kids are biracial and I don't need any help exposing them to these stereotypes. Most African Americans don't speak and behave in such a manner and I'm sure this particular young girl wouldn't being that she isn't around anyone who speaks or acts in that fashion. Otherwise the show is cute. Just thought I would throw that out there. Disney, if you see this review, please consider revising Zuri's attitude to reflect the life she lives on the show. I mean, China doesn't even act like that on Ant Farm so I really can't see where you are going with that character... Thanks.

Filled with magic and entertainment, Jessie is one of the better Disney shows currently airing. All of the actors/actresses are lovable and very talented. Debby Ryan does really well depicting a 18 year old nanny who is not only trying to figure her own life out but also teaching and influencing the Ross children. In addition, all of the characters are unique. Yes it is true that they seem to fill a stereotype. Zuri appears to be the sassy African American girl. Luke is the player boy who has bad hygiene. Emma is the ditsy blonde girl who seems only to be into fashion. Ravi is the typical Indian character with the accent. These are facts. But the way all of the character fit together makes the show great. As individuals, each are not interesting but together they create a situation that is both enchanting and enduring. The jokes are also humorous. As a person outside of the demographic I found that some of the jokes were for people of my age and other jokes were for kids. I think this is a good thing (to blend comedic elements). I have watched many Disney sitcoms and I firmly believe Jessie is one of the better ones.

All the shows and movies that are created today get no credit. If it doesn't have drugs sex and rock in roll in it then your not interested. If you simply don't like it then its automatically bad for you and for everyone else. Well i don't want anyone speaking for me. When it comes down to not like the characters for the way they are in the movies and TV shows everyone gets them confused with the actual actor. Im sorry don't remember them all having the ability to become more than one person at a time. Only through their acting is this done. I do believe that they are all laughing all the way to the bank whether or not you like them or not. Since when did we all become producers of movies and TV. This constant basting the characters and the shows is the reason they don't last as long as they should. One one gives anything a good try anymore. You don't finish watching or watch movie just cause your curious. A lot of people don't finish watching a TV series because they it doesn't meet your standards of how people or children should act. YOU CANT PLEASE EVERYONE. EVERYONE KEEPS IT UP ALL WE ARE GOING TO HAVE ARE REALILTY SHOWS THAT NOW ONE WANTS TO WATCH. THE ONLY THING WE WILL BE ABLE TO DO IS WATCH OLD MOVIES AND SHOWS AND WONDER WHY THEY Don't MAKE THEM ANYMORE.

I still watch it because it's funny, but that's about it. It has no main problem and the scripts barely ever make sense. Most of the jokes gross me out. You can see that the producers don't have much experience and let's not mention the acting that is so poor, it's what I find funny.

I don't want to be rude, because every show/movie has its own beauty, but JESSIE could have done a lot better. I find they could have been more original like the whole "Nannie for the adoptive kids, because there parents are always away making a movie" sounds familiar when you think about it: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

And most of the jokes aren't that funny when you've heard them in other shows.

But above all, it's perfect if your bored and you have nothing else to watch.
