La Vie selon Annie

I was skeptical about this show when it premiered on the Disney Channel, but in just a few months, I think it is finally starting to catch on. The show centers around Sadie Hawthorne, a high school science buff who specializes in life sciences. The show follows her observations of the unique species of wildlife known commonly as "teenagers."

I love the idea that Sadie compares teenage behavior to animal behavior. It really gives us an interesting view of teenage life that would probably have gone unnoticed.

The show is not as funny as other Disney Channel shows, like Even Stevens, Lizzie McGuire, or That's So Raven, but it's still funny in its own unique way, thanks in part to Sadie's friends, like Hal, Rain and Mallory.

All in all, I hope this show is around for a long time.

Get inside her head? Doesn't that sound like Lizzie McGuire? The most popular show to ever hit Disney Channel? I think that Disney is trying to up there ratings by making a show like Lizzie because it was so popular...nice try. I think that maybe this show would work if they had some actors and actress that actually knew how to act. Please help all who watch Disney Channel by giving us something to look forward to besides That so Raven and Phil of the Future. I think we all miss Even Stevens and Lizzie. But i know what happened to Lizzie but what happened to Even Stevens? Try again Disney and stop wasting nice air time with this piece of trash! Naturally Sadie is naturally horrible!

I just saw a couple of episodes of Disneychannel's newest show, and I don't think it's bad at all. It's about Sadie, who is a nature freak (in a good way) and her friends. You get inside her head as she tells you how she handles her social problems. Sadie Hawthorne is a 14-year-old freshman in high school with grades to die for and social skills to run away from. You travel with her through her first weeks in high school as she gets tangled up in all sort of situation that happen to the average freshman girl. I like this show. It's no FRIENDS, but I'm sure that it'll run for a few seasons.

Sadie is a normal girl who just enjoys life the way to comes to her. I love the way you can see her think, literally! You kinda see her head telling you her dilemma's in a picture frame, which is stuck in a scrapbook. It gives quite a cool effect actually! She gets into all sorts of situations that, just like any other disneychannel series, tells you about the do's and don'ts of teenage life. This is a definite watch for the 9- 15 year old!

Now, if we all realize that there are a finite number of plots a Teen show can have, it is easy to see that Naturally Sadie (NS) is one of the better shows out there right now. Early teens who "grew up" with Lizzie Macguire will only recognize the similar plots, but viewers who take the long view will see that NS has a fresh take on the teen show. The title character is interested in things other than how she looks or what boys think of her (though there is a boy involved). It took me a few episodes top "get into" NS, but now I recognize it as being the best thing out there in the Jr high category. It is much better than the gimmick-reliant "That is so Raven," and "Phil of the Future." I place it slightly ahead of "Drake and Josh," which is the second best show in this age range.

When I first saw Naturally Sadie I was naturally bored, but I slowly got into it. The show is not Disney's normal real-life-but-exaggerated-which-is-mainly-gags. The show is not centered around a teenage girl who is obsessed with looks, boys, and shopping. The main character, Sadie Harthorn, is quite the opposite. Sadie is into nature and science. In each episode she tries to figure out the strange ways of teenage life by comparing it to animals. Like most Disney Channel shows, this one has two stories going on. One with the main character and one with someone close to the main character, in this show it's usually one of Sadie's two friends. The show does tend to drag on and get boring at parts, but you need to remember that it is not much of a humor show like That's So Raven and Phil of the Future. It certainly is a naturally unique show.
