Genie in the House

OK, so the acting is awful and you can't really deny that. I'm not sure whether the actors are British and bad, or American trying to be British, but either way, their accents cannot be real. No Brits talk like that. The story lines are predictable and some of the scenarios the characters find themselves in are ridiculous. The show is obviously low-budget, as is made clear by the average special effects. The genie, Adil, has the most stupid voice and makeup on, it's almost laughable. I feel embarrassed for him. But ultimately, I think the show is designed to be silly watching. Like the other Nickelodeon UK show, Renford Rejects, which was really quite awful.

On the positive sides, I can imagine the show being a bit of fun-watching for younger children, such as below 11. Also, the two sisters and very attractive and well worth a look. Give the show a few tries, and once you adopt to its unique style, you may find it interesting.

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.

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.

I think this show is perfect for the kids it's aimed at. My 2 love it. OK the story lines are a little contrived and the acting is rather huge but they think it's hilarious.

If you have kids under 12 and want them to watch something that will keep them entertained this is the show. It's not going to teach them anything but then what on Nickelodeon does these days!

The 2 girls, Sophie and Emma, are pretty and well mannered and there is usually a moral to the story in the end of each episode. The father, Philip, plays a bit of a "dorky dad" and the genie is always getting the girls into trouble, but is amusing and acts very well.

On the whole a nice piece of entertaining TV for the kids - gets my thumbs up!

My sister usually watches shows on either Disney channel or nickelodeon. The shows on Disney are horrendous and the shows on nick are more intelligent. Until this came along.

Genie in the house. It is an atrocity. I can't make out whether the show is British or very bad American. The show focuses on some very badly acted genie named adil his face is so orange he might as well have been made in a wotsit crisp factory. Basically it just follows that plot and the wishes the girls make. Which are quite bad actually. If anyone had a genie they would wish to make the world bow to their feet or have mind control or something. But the girls are the only good thing about this show their acting is slightly passable. And the brunette is quite attractive.

So all in all don't watch it unless you like either of the girls.
