Henry Danger

Let me start by saying I'm a female in my 40's. My son who loves superhero movies couldn't wait to watch this. I have to be honest and say that I can barely tolerate most Nick Shows. For "movie night" I told my son I'd watch this with him. OMG. I have to say I really enjoyed this show. I can't remember the last time a show made me laugh so hard I cried. It might be a corny movie/show, but it is very entertaining. Since I LOVE sarcasm, I think the superhero is HILARIOUS!! A few days before I'd just watched Batman and Robin with George Clooney. This show blew that Batman and the horrible script and acting out of the water.

So this show had been around for quite a while before i actually started to watch it. Nickelodeon had been introducing loads of new shows at that point and honestly, Henry Danger looked boring and a childish show aimed at 8 year old kids just like all the other new cheesy shows and i had no desire to watch it. But it must have been a couple weeks later before i noticed that Dan Schneider had written it and as i had enjoyed all the previous shows that he had created (icarly, victorious, drake & josh, Sam & Cat) i decided i might give it a try. And of course, it was really cheesy as expected but i forced myself to watch it and i found out that the episodes were actually quite entertaining and lighthearted. Of course, some of the characters do annoy me like Jasper, Charlotte and Piper but because i really like the personality of Captain Man and Henry i am able to watch it. So even if you say to yourself that you can't bear to watch one whole episode, just do it and maybe you will actually like it. It'll bring out the kid in you if nothing! The script is fun and many of the jokes make me laugh or at the least they make me smile:)

I've always loved Dan Schneider's sense of comedy. From All that to Icarly have been my favorite shows. And even though this how doesn't live up to those show's qualities, its still makes me laugh every time i watch it. Its got a combination of weirdness and random and they go together really well in this show. Sure, it doesn't live up to Drake and Josh' style of humor but i will still watch it when i'm bored. It kind of has its own unique plot. A kid becomes a superheroes' sidekick and has to deal with his normal life along the way. Sure, this plot is used everywhere but this one takes the cake. And once again, Dan Schneider has made a great comedy.

I rarely watch Nickelodeon. The only times that I do is when my sister comes over on holidays and she hogs the TV. I have to say that out of all the live-action shows currently airing (Game Shakers, School of Rock, Thundermans and others), Henry Danger is one of my favourites. The show is beautifully self-aware and both the situations they face and the dialogue reflect that it's a show that's just for fun. I love cheesy plots and lines as long as someone knows that they're being so. And this show is definitely that. From plots involving villains who're harvesting beetle tears to the hero's name itself (Captain Man. Oh jeez how I laughed when I first heard that). This show isn't serious. It has a sorta campy feel to it and I love how the writers seem to have fun with each episode and situations that the characters are in. Watch, enjoy, laugh. It definitely has its drawbacks, but I felt like no-one really explained the good in it, so I hope this helps.

Love show, it's sad it end. Miss it. Watch all series
