Hannah Montana

I was a teenager and fell in love with this girl.

It's pretty obvious it was a bad show, but I was enjoying it back then :)

10 years ago, no one would have suspected that a show about a middle school girl who lives a double life as a normal teen and a pop sensation would become an overnight hit - but it has, and that type of show takes the form of Mickey's new pride and joy Hannah Montana, starring a fresh-faced Miley Cyrus (yes, "Achy Breaky's" daughter).

So the premise, well, I have already explained it. But the catch is, for some reason, she has to keep her double identity a secret. The only people who know are her family, friends, and her on-again-off-again boyfriend. It seems easy enough to keep the cat in the bag, but paparazzi photos that contain evidence and suspicious schoolmates are easy - and frequent - threats to the ordeal.

The acting is all over the place on this show. The actors can be over-the-top and crazy very frequently, and in a second can switch to dull and lifeless, be it in a comedic or dramatic scene. One actor who manages to (slightly) neutralize herself is Emily Osment - who plays the main character's best friend - from the last two installments of Spy Kids, and she does quite a good job of that. A bright future for her as an actress can definitely be seen. Mitchel Musso and Jason Earles have great comedic timing but are way too wild with their acting on occasion. Billy Ray Cyrus as the father (meaning he doesn't have to act much as he's Hannah's father in real life) often seems like he's reading off a teleprompter and shows no emotion. His daughter, Miley, the leading lady, definitely has some comedic timing but needs to work more on her acting if she's expected to carry a show.

The story lines are mostly good and have some kind of moral value to them. But as with typical Disney tradition, the values are never subtle. But that's OK, because the 18 minutes leading up to the 2-minute cheesiness are mostly enjoyable. And Miley has quite a bit of singing talent. The acting is mediocre and the plots can be shallow at times, but overall, this is enjoyable and kids will love it, which is the most important thing for a show like this. Hannah Montana rates as a 6 out of 10.

Some people don't like this show but I really love it. Destiny "Miley" Cyrus has a weird accent, she is from Tennessee and she lives in Malibu, California. She lives a double life as a normal eight grade teenager and as a famous pop star ("Hannah Montana"). It's funny sometimes and the characters are lovable like her brother Jackson trying to hook up with girls. Her best friend Lily who's a total dork (I know but she's my dork, lol)Oliver is the slow one (like Chelsea from That's so Raven) and her real life dad--"Billy Ray Cyrus" is so funny! Well I think that is all I can explain about the show...if you don't like the Disney Channel shows than you might not like it but if you do you will adore Hannah Montana.

How someone can say that Disney blew it with this show is beyond me, but I'm happy that the person in question is not running the channel. Hannah Montana is a global success phenomenon for a reason. The show is funny, the teen cast is, most of the part, very good and the kids watching the show learn some valuable lessons for their life. The music fits the show perfectly with songs specifically written with the main character's problems in mind. This show has been nominated every single year, since its start back in 2006, for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Children's Program and has won 20 other prices in the process. They must be doing something right in my opinion. I understand that it's not the best show on earth, but everyone bashing this show into oblivion and giving it only 1 star is more than irrational. Hannah Montana has been a money magnet for Disney (TV show, music CDs, cinema movies, merchandising) and millions of children worldwide love this character. You can't achieve this with a bad product. Give it a try and watch the show, and don't listen to all the bad reviewers that would probably run the channel bankrupt with their taste for TEEN shows anyway. - (Home improvement, seriously?)

Let's just say that I saw some of the episodes of Hannah Montana and I thought they were decent with some funny humor. But then, as the show went on, it started to become repetitive because some of the characters had no personalities other than being one-dimensional morons! At least the show had ended a year ago. Don't get me wrong, it had a very decent premise, but it was just executed so terribly.

Hannah Montana was alright in some of the episodes, but later becomes annoying and comes across as somewhat boring and unrealistic to the children. My favorite character, out of all the others who were also unrealistic, was Miley Cryus's father Billy Ray Cyrus because he teaches his daughter some lessons in order to help her out with her situations. He also gave me some goofy hilarious moments throughout the show.

Mitchel Musso and Emily Osment were very decent, Moises Arias can sometimes be funny, but later becomes so annoying and uninteresting. The rest of the cast were OK, but nothing special.

The show has some pretty good songs, including the theme song, "I Learn From You", and more, but only some of them became unrealistic and repetitive.

Overall, Hannah Montana isn't as bad as everyone thinks it is, but with better original songs, better characters, and better episodes, it would've been so so much better!
