Game Shakers

Another one of those "ooh yeah kids will like that" shows.

Being in the demographic of kids they're aiming the shows towards(6 - 12), I can confirm that this is just trying way too hard. Nickelodeon has released mind-boggling trite before, have a look at the Thundermans and School of Rock. But this? This has reached a new level of low.

Lets start off with the characters.

Babe, is pretty much Carly(from, well, iCarly), but younger, more obnoxious and pretty much worst in every aspect.

Kenzie is just the "nerd" stereotype. She wears glasses and does that unfunny "9 questions" joke that just kills me inside. Not to mention, she is extremely ANNOYING and no "nerd" does the crap she does. How do I know? Because I'm pretty much a nerd myself, and let me just say, being a nerd does not mean wearing glasses and being, whatever shes doing.

Hudson is a moron. That's all you need to know. He's an unfunny moron too. And introducing the token black characters! Triple G and Double G. What the actual hell are these names? Basically they were introduced because Double G's(who is a rapper(and a bad one too)) song was used in Babe and Kenzie's game(a doodle jump/flappy bird rip-off) and are trying to sue them(Kenzie is an idiot and not all smart since she doesn't have knowledge of copyright). If I could describe these two in one word, it would be obnoxious.

The humor is awful. Explosions, unfunny punchlines, using Hudson as a joke dispenser and being "OH YEAH SO FUNNY AND RANDEM XDDDD" doesn't translate to comedy. It means that you should fire your comedy writers.

I could go on, but after watching about two episodes and stopping after that, means that you have utterly FAILED at captivating my attention. But the worst part is Dan. Releasing Drake & Josh, iCarly and more, I expected something better from him. But when Sam & Cat aired, I realized that this network has officially lost it in the sitcom department. At least Harvey Beaks, The Loud House, and Spongebob are still things. But then again, we also have Alvin and the Chimpmunks.

Good job Nickelodeon. If there's one thing I can count on you to be, its to be extremely pandering.

This show is alright it's I Carly but with video games.

I don't really like this show I personally think it's kind of annoying and it's definitely not one of my favorites.But some of these jokes are surprisingly funny,and some of these episodes are really good.The plot is creative but not something I would enjoy.I want to say that I am 10 years old and the target audience but I understand if you like this show,actually I don't but it's okay if you like it.I think I started hating this show because it played after SpongeBob SquarePants.I don't like any of the characters in this show,none of them are relatable or entertaining.I always liked nickelodeon but not that much,I think my biggest problem with Nickelodeon is that the 2010's didn't have that much good shows so I just watched the good ones. I just want to finish this review saying:I can watch 1 or 2 episodes but it's not something I would watch for hours.

Everyone that's on this show acts foolish and it's really funny my and my nephew truly enjoyed it... I don't think this deserved such a low rating it had a pretty good run to.

I was curious to check out this show, having grown up with Dan Schneider and marveled at his weird staying power among 12-year-old girls. The idea seemed solid on paper: buddy comedy star Kel Mitchell of yesteryear teams up with fresh faces, then the games they make are released in app form so kids can bleed Nickelodeon 24/7. What could go wrong? Well, pretty much everything. This show is a frantic mess that can't go five minutes without somebody exploding, falling down, screaming at another character, or having an absurdly cartoonish overreaction lest any viewers accidentally get bored. The whole thing is terribly cobbled together, like the producer told the writers, "I want flashy gadgets, white people rapping, cute animals, and sentimentalism with the depth of a kiddie pool. GO!" The characters don't mesh at all, with each one spouting a few lines and then preening awkwardly for the camera. Cue explosion, laugh track, or anything else that covers up the fact that this show can't segue to save its life. Frankly that seems to be the biggest issue, is just a lack of any likable roles. What happened, Dan? iCarly, Kenan & Kel, Drake & Josh...sure, they weren't Masterpiece Theater, but their stars were enjoyable enough that fans wanted to keep up with them. Game Shakers is polluted with one flat, dull, irksome stereotype after another--where's the fun, or the surprise in that, or the desire to not throw the remote at the TV? This was the chance for a fresh start. The iCarly/Victorious/spin-off era is gone, new actors were hired, and this idea just sounded great. Instead it's the same old schtick, yet worse somehow, with another generation of tired gags for kid actors who don't even have the appeal or the comic timing of their predecessors. Granted the tween crowd has more forgiveness for dopey humor than I do, but a character can only fall down so many times before it stops being funny. Incredibly, this show has already reached that limit.
