Just Add Magic

Just Add Magic is one of the best shows out there right now. It is entertaining, educational, and beautifully done. My brother, 15, and I, 21, enjoy watching this show together.

The characters feel real and are given a depth that is rare in children's shows. They make mistakes and disappoint each other, but they own up to it and take responsibility for their actions.

The plot is not dumbed down & has many twists & turns that make it unique. It's entertaining from start to finish.

Just Add Magic may be aimed at younger audiences, but it does not treat the characters as though they are too young. They are capable, strong & brilliant. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

We watched "Just add Magic" as a family tonight, with my two youngest Boy 10 & Girl 12. The first thing the kids said after the first show ended was, "Lets watch the next one!" That's when we realized we had just watched the pilot preview. Right away they went online to see when the next upcoming episodes would be airing. As a parent what I liked the most about this new show, were the values & lessons taught, that the 11 year old female characters in the show look and act their age, and the subject matter was just good, clean old fashion innocent family TV viewing for once! No gore, lust, immodesty or language. I also liked the fact that three tween-agers were actually nice to one another, and everyone else. Little to no cattiness! What there was, was addressed and attitude problems solved. From my 12 yr old daughter; ~ Kept our attention during the whole program ~ Siblings acted like real siblings. ~ The suspense & cliff hangers left you wanting more! 10 year old son; ~ When the kids were kind and generous to others, good things happened, and lessons were learned. ~ It had magic, but fun happy magic, and not scary gory magic or things that would give you nightmares. ~ I liked that kids my age did great cooking, and that their families let them do it by themselves in the kitchen like you let us do.

Such a great kids show. Instead of the usual over-acting that plagues Disney and Nickelodeon you have great actors all around with a plot that keeps you guessing. They all have really fleshed out characters and real feeling relationships. It's moral, they learn from their mistakes, try to make things right. You just don't get a show like this for kids anymore.

I enjoyed the way they took the movie, like there is a family of magical spices. All seasons were good

Awesome. Great story! Immediately after the show ended my kids (all four of them -- ages 15, 14, 12 and 9) asked to watch the next episode. However, only the pilot is available. When will we get the rest? They're eager to see them. For what it's worth, never have ALL of my kids liked the same show! My oldest daughter thought "it was cool." My youngest daughter repeatedly asked if this was going to be scary. I told her I wasn't sure. (She loves scary shows.) I think she was excited by the uncertainty of the storyline. Franky, so was I. Also, I was amazed that both of my sons enjoyed the show as well. I think they were intrigued by the magic aspect of the story. Everyone is now sitting here on the couch wondering when we'll be able to see the rest.
