Okay, I wasn't sure what to think about this show. I am a 36 year old who enjoys family television when I don't need to analyze much, and for the nostalgia effect.

To start off, the setting is just bad. It takes place in a house connected to a bakery in New Orleans. The settings colors and atmosphere gives me a boring 60s retro kind of vibe. The props and effects are grossly generic, even for it's time.

If you are looking for good acting, you might as well skip this one. It's the pits. The character's expressions don't line up with their emotions. Also, mostly all the characters, except the little girl and ghost dad, are highly annoying in some fashion. A lot of the acting is very tense and feels forced.

Okay, with all the negative traits out of the way, it does possess some weirdly good qualities. I don't know if it has the same effect on others, but it gives me a calming/soothing sensation. When I end the day and wind down I usually play this show on Netflix. I am not sure why, but it relaxes me. I usually watch it until I sleep. It is one of the best shows for those who appreciate background noise from a TV to help them sleep. Very strange. Maybe it's the setting? I'm not sure. It is a good quality; to me anyway.

If you're looking for that perfect show for you and your little ones, this probably isn't it. It isn't that bad, but it isn't good either. Mediocre.

This is a nice series to watch. There was room for improvement to make the series better. The storyline of the whole series was alright. The cast selection was fine. They connected strongly to the storyline of the series. This series does reveal to viewers the true nature and reality of a teenager's life. It shows the real challenges and difficulties of building and balancing a life. This series teaches viewers a few things about growing up. I did not fully enjoy watching this series. It was fine and there are good parts. There were some parts throughout the series that I was not a fan of. This is still an alright series for viewers to watch.

An abnormal family of ghosts and an ordinary family of people in the same house, watching their adventures. Most of the episodes are super-silly, super-boring and the jokes are pretty bad. I don't know if all the actors are so bad or the terrible scenario isn't helping them...

Another brainless nickelodeon title that copy pastes the same plotline of having a supernatural party interract with those who have no abilities in a sassy-friendly way. It lacks creativity, the characters are ALL flat and having no personality, the comedy falls flat and is drowned under laugh tracks every 5 seconds. Basic cinematography power point transitions with lazy at best CGI work for the ghost powers/effects. As for the argument the show is meant for children, I raise the counter that even children should have standards this show fails to meet- or we have the risk of a low standard generation to come.

First I want to say that I am a teenage viewer who watches shows directed at various age groups. I've seen shows directed at infants and toddlers and shows directed at middle-aged adults. I've seen a wide variety and these days I'm often disappointed by the selection available on TV. Quite often I find myself wanting something light-hearted with innocent humor since many shows today are heavy on the drama and humor that is not so innocent. That's not bad or anything, it's just not what I want to watch all the time. So when I look for this humor I find myself turning to Nick because I find the shows on Cartoon Network absolutely horrible. As for Nick, things are a little more tolerable but there shows are no longer even directed towards teen. Even the shows focusing on teens boil down to a children's show with bad jokes. That's how I feel about Haunted Hathaways. There's nothing good or amazing about this show. It's not horrible either. It's bland and mediocre. It's the kind of show I would put on just to have noise in the background while I read a book, write, draw, or play a game on a hand-held device. Nick's quality of shows has dropped tremendously over the years. Great shows like Drake and Josh- something that was not only directed at teens but had humor and story lines that appealed to teens and older audiences, sometimes even younger. Mosr important though, it was a show that had content for teens!- are something of the past. Shows like ICarly, Sam & Cat, Victorious, etc are not bad but they are still, somehow, teen shows that are more aimed at children becoming teens. Now that's a lot of Schneider. Truth is though, there are few Nick shows worth mentioning that aren't Schneider. I myself could use and enjoy a show that wasn't his and his brand of humor, but Nick has no other shows that are even half as good. These days, the shows, Schneider or not, aren't funny anymore. These shows have actors who try too hard, horrible jokes, and just plain hard to swallow story lines and characters. It's either the same repeated formula followed by previous shows that came before or it's a half- baked attempt at something new. Haunted Hathaways, like most Nick shows, has fallen on the sword of half-baked attempts at something new and ridiculous, pathetic humor. And it really is sad because I'm getting tired of having to watch the same old Spongebob or Looney Toons every time I want a good humorous show.

This show is just plain bad. The jokes are eye rolling. Can we stop with the fart jokes! It's so childish and not funny. The whole Louie finger snapping into the wrong thing got old after the 3rd episode. The acting is bad. Both the parents overact and so does the kid playing Louie. The kid playing Miles is too cheesy. Amber Montana as Taylor? Good lord she can't act her way out of a paper bag. She always sounds like she's reading cue cards and she can't do comedy to save her life. She lacks charisma and can't carry a show herself.

The characters suck. The dad and Miles are both corny. The mom is too frantic and hyper. Louie is an obnoxious jerk. The teen daughter Taylor is an unlikable rude whiny brat. She's so bland and so are her interchangable group of friends who have no distinct personalities. She and the actor playing her boyfriend have zero chemistry.

Frankie is the only cool character on the show. She's unique, smart, and spunky. Breanna Yde is a cutie!

Seeing as this is a show for Children and the majority of reviews on here are being given by Adults... May I suggest the Adults watch the show for what it is "A CHILDRENS SHOW"..

I used to watch the show with my Nephew when he was younger and he loved it..

The first season wasn't that good, I'd only give it 3 stars. The little girl and the dad were the standouts but the rest was lacking. The other kids were supposed to be likeable but were not really. They were so stereotypical and one dimensional that you just couldn't get into them. Even the 'lessons' in the episodes were weak as they often involved the person that was selfish, self centered and bratty being the one that got their way in the end.

In season 2 the rest of the characters get more likeable and their personalities get a bit of depth. The life lessons get more heartwarming as the characters really seem to care about each other. It is a shame that it took so long to find its way and I'm sure it turned viewers with the early episodes.

It seems as if nickelodeon is on the downhill slide as far as shows go these last couple seasons. The Haunted Hathaways is just in a long line of poor writing, poor acting, and poor editing. I barely made it through a 30 minute time slot before shutting the TV off in relief, but felt I should have to make it through at least one episode before reviewing.

Basically, a mother and her two daughters move into a home haunted by a man and his two sons. Certainly not a new premise.

Perhaps the worst portion of the show is the writing. The lines are cheesy and cliché and delivered by utterly terrible actors and actresses. Each failed joke and over exaggerated motion is accompanied by canned laughter from a pitiful laugh track. Not far on its heels is the acting itself. Each line is squealed or screamed or delivered with excess facial expression and hand motion. I cringed watching the Awkward and unnatural interactions between the characters.

In short, I don't recommend this TV show for anyone, not even the littlest kids.

OK so I have watched the first 4 shows and this is exactly what Nick needed !! Its a family friendly show, and I couldn't be happier they mixed the races up.I have a blended family and now my kids can finally feel accepted as people on TV live like they do! Love the jokes, love the sentiment, the writing is exceptional.

Every actor pulls their weight on the show.The Teen girl played by Montana delivers the goods with her very real and natural ability and spot on comedic timing.The mother played by King is obviously a Broadway trained actress, she is fantastic and funny as ever.The two little kids are hysterical and get the jokes, and the dad ( Benymon) is a pro.

Some people just can't accept that were in 2013 and shows from the 90's are outdated.This show brings the funny !! A plus

I watched both seasons. My guess is the pitch was lets get an interracial Brady Bunch where they aren't really in a relationship. We can do aliens or ghosts? Ok, ghost's it is!

The show is funny, but too dang funny - not enough family moments. The obvious question that you have about the Prestons is never answered. Then, there is the New Orleans/voodoo backdrop. I'm not shocked that it was cancelled because it wasn't as bold as it should be. Still 7 stars for the comedy and Curtis Harris' character.

Nickelodeon needs to rewind. What is going on here? This show is not funny...at all. The acting is not convincing. It's just not worth your time. The advertising for this show was overdone just to attract people to a garbage dump of a show. I mean I'm confident that I could produce a much better show than this!

The only good shows on Nickelodeon currently are the works of Dan Schnieder. There is only one show still active from Dan Schnieder. That is Sam & Cat. This show is the worst of his works unfortunately. Something happened. His older shows like Drake & Josh , Victorious , and iCarly were very nice. The actresses are great in Sam & Cat it's just the storyline. It's just bad. Nickelodeon is falling apart.

The Haunted Hathaways: Spooky Laughs and Heartfelt Warmth

"The Haunted Hathaways" is a standout series that never fails to bring a smile to my face. It's one of the best shows I've ever watched, and when I need a good laugh and some warmth, I find myself revisiting its episodes (wich in numbers is more than 10 times!).

While the show has its quirks, like its old-school Nickelodeon style, dated jokes, and modest production budget, it's a welcome departure from some of the newer Nick/Disney TV shows. The cast takes a few episodes to fully settle into their characters, but the series still manages to captivate with its blend of humor and excitement.

"The Haunted Hathaways" is unique in its ability to combine spooky supernatural elements with genuine warmth and relatability. The Hathaway family, a mix of living and ghostly members, provides a heartwarming twist to the traditional family sitcom. Their interactions, whether funny or touching, make you genuinely care about their journey.

While it may not be a masterpiece like "Victorious," "The Haunted Hathaways" is an endearing show that offers both laughs and heartfelt moments. If you're in the mood for some fun and warmth, give it a watch; you won't be disappointed.

This show is absolutely hilarious!! I have to be honest, I looked at it and thought "Uh-oh, Nick is coming out with another really bad TV show." But I couldn't have been more wrong. This show really blew me away with it's sharp acting, interesting characters, really funny jokes and the varied and detailed plots for each episode. This show is about a family that moved into a house haunted by ghosts, the ghosts wanted to scare them away but ended up becoming their friends. I have such a hard time trying to find other things to do before another new episode comes on. The thing I like most about this show are the characters; each character is likable in their own way and get into mischief with the ghost characters that usually influence them. Seriously, if you haven't seen this show, waste no more time. Watch it!! You will love it!!!

I personally love this show and honestly think it's exactly what nickelodeon needed. After a series of multiple failed nick shows such as: Marvin Marvin, Fred the Show, Bucket and Skinner, Wendell and Vinnie and How To Rock. I think The Haunted Hathaways is a winner. I like it because it is fresh, funny and unique! I think it is the first Nick show to be centered around ghosts. Another thing is the acting, all the main cast are pretty much all great actors although do sometimes overact a bit. I understand this show may not be as funny as previous nick shows such as victorious, icarly and drake and josh but its still entertaining and fairly funny, i don't understand why it has such low ratings and so many bad reviews? Overall i love this show and can watch it for hours. I hope for the best and wish it keeps airing for a long time. This show stars: Amber Montana as Taylor Hathaway, Curgis Harris as Myles Preston, Benjamin Flores Jr as Louie Preston, Breanna Yde as Frankie Hathaway, Genifer King as Michelle Hathaway and Chico Beynon as Ray Preston

This show is awesome and so funny I love Breanna Yde she is amazing and cute

I dont know how this show only has 5.1 stars its one of the few kid shows made past 2010 thats good its funny the cast is all entertaining and i love the story line of a normal family living with ghosts only bad part is its not on amymore

I honestly don't see why this show gets such a bad review, the jokes are funny and the acting is great. This is a family-friendly show, and I would definitely recommend it!

This show is really nostalgic to me! Great plot & actors!

This show isn't bad, but why did it have to be a sitcom? I like TV shows with science fiction, and I notice that most science fiction TV shows on Nickelodeon are sitcoms. Marvin, Marvin is considered one. There's another one coming called the Thundermans. Why do all Sci-fi TV shows on Nick have to be sitcoms? Nick can do much better than that. I wouldn't mind if they made a Sci-fi show that's not a sitcom. Nick needs more Sci-fi shows that are not sitcoms. I'm just saying, it will probably get more viewers if it starts doing that. I'm not saying the show is bad though. I really like it and it is quite creative, but no one said it had to be a sitcom. People would still like it if it wasn't one.

I loved the show. The mom wasn't great at some of her jokes. You could tell she was acting them. She just wasn't believable. Mothers are usually much smarter at knowing when her child calls her "soooo pretty" that they are up to something. But overall I love the show. Was so upset when they didn't come back with a season 3. But I guess it would be hard when you have kids as ghosts and they are growing up when they're not supposed to in real life... still a bummer that it was cancelled.
