Best Friends Whenever

Best Friends Whenever is a Disney Channel show about two best friends who get the ability to time travel. The way their abilities work is when they touch each other and think of a time they "jump" into their bodies from that time(unless they travel outside of their lifetime). They don't use this power to become superheroes but instead just mess around with it. They used this power to order a pizza 45 minutes earlier so they don't have to wait. They go back in time a few years to eat a burrito that was banned when they were seventh schoolers. They time travel to get back at a classmate that's insulting them. This form of time travel is refreshing because it allows for a very character focused show. The main characters have been friends since kindergarten and think they know everything about each other, and their time traveling brings forth things they didn't. It's not a perfect show, it ends up sharing a lot of problems many other disney channel shows have regarding cliches and cheesy dialogue. But despite that it's still a pretty unique show that is different from a lot of other time travel shows in a good way, and I hope we get more time travel shows like this one.

I'm tempted to give this a 10 just to offset all the people giving it a 1.

I mean... a 1? Sorry. A 1 is not a rational reaction. That's saying this is the WORST thing you've ever seen. That's crazy. That's deep emotional trigger stuff.

This is an upbeat, nice show about friends loving each other, solving various friend crises with honesty and compassion, and having silly adventures together. The over the top gag writing is clever and amusing. It certainly isn't bad, and CERTAINLY no worse than I've seen elsewhere. All in all, this show is well meaning and fun.

Now.., WHY does that upset some people so much? Touched a nerve, did it? I think it did!

I know several teen girls who really enjoy Best Friends Whenever, but if they read the reviews here might double think that. What an ugly thing to do. Because, heavens, we can't have young women absorbing positive messages about friendship. Girls are supposed to hate each other! Don't you know that? I think some of that negative advertising which saturates our culture, that horrid stuff which strives to make girls despise themselves and mistrust others, to not reach out to form nourishing bonds with others, has poisoned too many people here.

If you're knee jerking into hating this sweet and friendly program, then maybe you need to pause long enough to examine WHY you're reacting that way!

Seriously! What is WRONG with you??

So, enjoy this fun little show. Ignore the trolls. Love your friends.

Although it is not as good as the og disney channel shows, I do actually like this show. I feel as though this show is underrated and I would recommend watching it.

Look, it's a Disney channel show about two time traveling teens. What do u expect? It's a good show, it's funny, and it's pretty cute. It's not gonna be the next Greys anatomy or anything! It's just a silly little show

As long as you don't judge this show by the first 1/2 season, it just may be worthy of your watch list. Don't worry, the awful characters Bret & Chet fade into obscurity (excepting occasional eps. like s02e08). I wouldn't wish any show made by the people who created the first 1/2 season upon my worst enemies. Of course, the very first episode is the origin story, so you may wish to survive it by keeping the fast-forward button at the ready. I'm enjoying this show now in season two; 'good enough to DVR new episodes. And, I suppose it was okay for them to briefly bring Diesel back to temporarily prominence in the Halloween episode. Now, I no longer cringe at horrible attempts at comedy, or roll my eyes in dismay while contemplating changing the channel. If you give the later episodes a try then you just may agree...
