Génial Génie

I think this is a charming show. I work in a junior school and many of the children are talking about it so I watched it! It is innocent fun, the girls are pretty, the genie is very appealing and Dad and Uncle Max are always good natured, even when trying to be cross!! The story-lines seem to cover a lot of childhood wishes, to be a dancer or a singer, to play tricks on their teachers, have pets that talk, to be fashion icons or simply to believe in magic. Children need this kind of 'fantasy' fun and I can quite see why so many of them are becoming fans. Obviously it is NOT aimed at adults or critics or whatever, but for goodness sake if you don't like it - watch the news! Let the kids BE kids and enjoy a bit of innocent make-believe fun.

The show is OK, You can tell that it is a rather low budget show considering its quite obvious that the laughing is a sound track, It sounds the same every time! The problem is, is that the plot has been done so many times before...

So many times people have found a lamp and there's a genie inside, they wish and the wish "doesn't go to plan" Its a decent show, But eventually you are likely to get bored of the same similar plot lines...

I would say that this show is good for 7-11 year olds because of the simple plot lines.

I think that the lack of budget is the reason behind its poor ratings.

Can Nickeloden please cease bothering trying to make British programmes for the channel. Renford Rejects, Laugh Out Loud and now this, all of them are absolutely horrendous.

The acting in this programme is extremely poor, the story lines are poor, and for British actors (looked it up) what the hell are the accents really about? Do we really sound like that, heaven forbid.

Absolute rubbish. Up against the American programming, it is absolutely embarrassing. Please, Nicelodeon, please stop making a fool out of this nation with such abysmal programming.

I don't even get the setting. Is it based in England? Where did the genie come from?

OK so I am 46 and shouldn't really be watching this but my kids turned it on and 'oh my gawd' was this show embarrassing. I have put up with crap like Saved By The Bell and Sabrina but this is the worst piece of television I have ever seen. My daughters school play (10 year olds) had better production and acting than this. As for the plot ... it must have come off the back of a Corn Flakes packet. Get this crap off now so that I don't feel like cancelling my Sky subscription in protest. What on earth were the production team and directors thinking about ? Are they honestly happy with this or is it just 'take the money and run' attitude. If it was me, I would run for my life !!

I find this show is plenty interesting and comical , amusing especial for kids. Confident and high-quality work of actors, exclusive script will not leave you indifferent when viewing.
