Crash & Bernstein

The early 2010s seemed to be the peak of Disney XD in my opinion, or at least the end of. Maybe I'm biased. But anyways entering my teens and watching plenty of shows on the channel, it was clear what the best one was: Crash & Bernstein. The idea of Crash lends itself to have more fun than the other shows, and I've always enjoyed the voice acting.

The most impressive part is that I don't have to write this review from the perspective of my twelve-year-old. With Disney+ my younger siblings began watching the same shows I did as a kid, and most of the live action shows aged terribly as my now more matured eyes roll at the content of the shows I loved a decade ago, but those same eyes are fixed on Crash & Bernstein as the humor, though childish still, is fun and goofy.

Disney is a repulsive company overall, but when the daily options for my two under-6 boys in the touchy-feely, female-dominated children's culture in which we live are shows like "Ni Hao Kai Lan" and "Princess Sofia the First," this is a very - very - welcome change. As the previous reviewer said, it's not for you, it's for them. It may be difficult to understand unless you've experienced it firsthand, but to 4 or 5 year old boys, a purple puppet throwing himself through walls and blowing things up is the funniest thing they've ever seen in their young lives. You've never heard laughter like this. I imagine liberal educators everywhere will be horrified, which only makes this show more appealing.

My little girl loves the show. The puppet is done well. I don't know why someone would hate the show. It's a kid's show. It's not made for me, but my kid quotes it. The actor who plays Bernstein is a funny kid. I think the mom is from Reno 911. My daughter loves Crash, the puppet. Bad puppetry can be ponderous but Crash is well done. The puppet reminds me of a muppet which was one of my favorite shows as a kid. In one episode Crash dressed like Pat Riley. I don't think any kid would get it, so there are jokes for the parents. All in all, I think this is a cool new show. My daughter made me set the recorder to tape new Crash & Bernsteins. My daughter and I look forward to future episodes.

Anyone else remember a few years back when Disney Channel actually had quality? There was Even Stevens...wait, that was the only show that had quality. The cartoons are good too, but the sitcoms are awful! They're pointless, have no effort, and lack humor. Sure, there's one or two smirks per show at least, but the popular slapstick random humor doesn't cut it. Crash & Bernstein is an example of these shows. We have all seen Disney do better on the big screen, but their TV shows are to children as Michael Bay is to teenagers- and you know what he's like.

I see my brother watching this show and I don't see why he finds it amusing. I know he Knows what good comedy is, but obviously, the bad puns and sometimes unnecessarily crude humor has already pulled him into this incredibly hyperbolic show about family(the sisters don't even have similar hair color. The age composition between the siblings is also off. And WHERE IS THE FATHER?????). Sadly, my brother is lost. Dear viewers, do yourselves a favor and block this channel from the sons and daughters, or siblings, that you love. Let them watch Leave It to Beaver.

Lets break this down. I won't even mention the acting or cast, which is already bad. First- as I mentioned before, there is no father. Half the shows they got have at least one parent MIA, and it's a bad impression on the viewers. It makes kids think that it's too normal to be divorced and only have one parent. And it's not! Second, the show is from the perspective of a boy with two older sisters. Ideally, the viewers should be in the protagonist's mindset, and he sees two older sisters who bring a lot of feminine things to his environment. They are too far apart in age to really have any effect. They don't team as well. Thirdly, a puppet is a nice change, but he isn't funny. Period. He's a jerk. Kids see him as the perfect brother for Wyatt (Remember to think Leave It to Beaver). Again, this is an unhealthy encouragement. this is only a sliver of many other problems. I hate to be a pessimist, but if they keep throwing these movies out, Why should I do nothing?

This is single handedly the worst live action kids show on TV right now. Even my kids want me to change the channel when it comes on. In a time when so many options are out there Disney should not have a show that makes people want to watch something else and any one who does change the channel is smarter for doing so. Disney has so many clever shows and their competition does as well. I don't know who they think they are catering to with such a low brow kids show. I would think that Disney would understand that very stupid isn't very funny. Bad writing, bad acting and terrible concept. This show has no redeeming qualities and should be canceled immediately.
