Austin & Ally

Austin & Ally is a great show for children and teens alike, combining the fun and silliness of the characters kids like, the romantic relationships teens like and music - something everyone can enjoy.

While Austin is an outgoing, fun and insanely talented guy and Ally is this quiet, smart and also insanely talented girl, the unlikely - though extremely Hollywood - pair make it work.

As I am a big fan of the series, my rating may be biased. However, I don't think I'm wrong.

It's somewhat educational as it teaches kids life lessons about relationships, lying, stealing, etc. It also faces the reality that there will be people who will try to hurt you in life, but it writes a way to help deal with it.

Also, very recently, it literally saved a young girl's life because of some information it gave about bears and how to stay safe in case you come face to face with one.

I think that between the realism, quirkiness, hilarity, music and encouragement to be yourself as the characters do, the show is great for kids to watch. Even adults can appreciate it.

I hope to see Austin & Ally get a few more seasons after season 3.

I remember watching this show when it came out 10 years ago.

Being in my late teens, I can see why I used to love this show so much. Almost every episode has an interesting story line- with most ending in a catchy song.

There was always the thought of will-they/won't-they when it came to the 2 main characters Austin and Ally, but you always kinda knew that they would end up together in the end.

On a side note- the character "Dez" has to be my favourite character because he is played so well by the actor: Calum Worthy.

Every song in the show is catchy... and sometimes I even find myself listening to the music on spotify!

My rating stays 8/10.

The latest D-Com show rolling off the assembly lines at the Magic Kingdom is Austin&Ally in which a would be teen bubble gum idol kind of plagiarizes a song from a girl who writes well, but has incredible stage fright. They seem to be a natural combination, but having seen the first two episodes which reflect real life somewhat in that finding one's muse for creativity will be a major plot component for many episodes. As Richard Rodgers once said, 'melodies don't come to me, I go to them'. I think that Laura Marano's character of Ally would agree with that.

However Austin's character the would be new Justin Bieber has his origins on the internet, probably Youtube. A current young teen idol named Greyson Chance made his breakthrough doing just that. It's the wave of the future and the Disney Studios if nothing else were cognizant of what the future holds. Can you imagine bypassing all the barriers one previously had in trying to get the world to see your gifts? Now young Mr. Chance has promoters coming to him. Hopefully it will last.

And hopefully young Ross Lynch as Austin will get many more songs from Laura Marano. Austin&Ally is a nice teen comedy from Disney which is remarkably on the cutting edge of our technology.

Ally Dawson (Laura Marano) works the family music store Sonic Boom on Miami Beach. Her best friend Trish De la Rosa (Raini Rodriguez) can't hold down a job. Ally is also a shy songwriter. Austin Moon (Ross Lynch) takes one of her songs and becomes an overnight internet sensation. Dez (Calum Worthy) is his irreverent clueless friend. The four become best friends as they tackle the music world with Ally as the songwriter and Austin as the performer.

It's a wacky Disney kids show. It's completely harmless. It's lovable. It's silly. The four leads are a nice, lovable lot. Laura is adorable. Ross is equally adorable. Raini brings the spice. Calum is the tall, lanky clown. It's a fun show for the kids and a safe one for their parents.

"AUSTIN & ALLY," in my opinion, is an excellent Disney Channel show. I watch it with my 9-year-old nephew from time to time. I always smile and laugh whenever a mishap occurs. It's hard to say what the funniest one is. Another thing that makes this show funny is Trish's (Rani Rodriguez) comic relief. If you ask me, she always know just what to say and do to make the audience laugh. The writing is always strong, the performances are always good, and everything else about the show is good.Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that if you don't have basic cable, you should get it. Now, in conclusion, I hope this will be on Disney for many years yet.
