100 Things to Do Before High School

Poor man's "Ned survival guide". Same premise, same-ish characters, same dynamics. Only everything feels flat, main cast has no chemistry or relationship growth, school feels empty and more of a set than a school. Everything seems made with less effort and heart and it's just a half cooked version of Ned's doing mostly same things but worse. Scott my boy, even re-used some of the same plot lines. The show even got the same sound effects that add nothing this time around, way less gags and jokes and nobody learns nothing or improves. And main characters are more annoying, the teachers are a joke. No wonder it only got 25 episodes in total. Weak sauce / 10, just watch the older one, it has more style and loce put in it.

100 Things to Do Before High School is funny and entertaining, two words I never thought I'd use with a Nick sitcom again. Most "Nick-coms" of the past few years have ranged from clichéd (iCarly and Victorious) to inconsistent (The Thundermans) to just awful (Haunted Hathaways). But 100 Things, created by Scott Fellows (Ned's Declassified) is simply brilliant.

Like Ned's Declassified, the show focuses on the lives of three middle-schoolers: C. J. (Isabela Moner), Crispo (Owen Joyner), and Fenwick (Jaheem Toombs). Together, they make a to-do list of everything they need to do before high school. The premise sounds hackneyed, but the result is anything but.

The acting from almost everyone involved is top-notch. Moner brings effortless charm to C. J., one of the most likable leads in any teen sitcom I have seen. Unlike recent Nick female leads, she's not a drama queen and doesn't overact, lending her character a relatable charm. Toombs and Joyner compliment each other well; Toombs's Fenwick obsesses over details while Joyner's Crispo takes a decidedly laid-back approach. Even the supporting cast, including venomous bully Mindy Minus (Brady Reiter) and guidance counselor/voice of reason Mr. Roberts (Jack De Sena, better known for playing Sokka on Avatar The Last Airbender).

Refreshingly, there's no laugh track present, and the writing is so good that it doesn't need one. In fact, the writers are the same geniuses behind Fellows' Ned's Declassified. As in Ned's Declassified, the writers never hesitate to throw in surreal or random elements, often to hilarious effect.

If you've given up on quality programming from Nickelodeon, I highly recommend 100 Things to Do Before High School. It's creative and funny and I hope it gets the long run it deserves.

Um, let's see, well to start off, I must admit it is an entertaining show, but let's look at the reason for that: It is almost an exact copy of Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide which was a show I loved in my childhood. Scott Fellows must have thought, "oh no one will remember that show 10 years later" when he created this. Sure it's funny, but all I can think of is how similar it is to Ned in almost every way. That aside, perhaps that's the only reason I'm drawn to watch it, perhaps it wouldn't interest me if it didn't remind me of Ned, I mostly search for the similarities when I'm watching it and find it hard to enjoy as its own story. However if you never seen Ned's declassified school survival guide, this is your next best option for cheesy (genuinely quite funny) shenanigans from middle schoolers now that Ned is off the air for quite a few years already. Definitely a nice comedic show for today's generation who hasn't seen Ned I suppose, but still in 2nd place when you compare the 2.

On a growing list of fun shows! You, your kids, your friends, your kids' friends have a new show to try not to miss. You guys! The story is told as a memory of the young lady , C.J. , who is the heroine, her singing dream reveals some terrible truths about life, getting older, moving on and losing friends and associates dear to you in your youth... and she sets out to be rather than a victim of time -the master of the craft... via the first of 100 things to do before she , they , each , we , all get to be adult....the acting, actress and actors and the adults here are best, best, best. The action is nearly hilarious as the twists and turns, top notch.This may be the finest of silly and "moralistic" teen adventures as i tell you by way of prediction it shall grow on you. And you shall be glad for it.

Scotts Fellows returns to Nickelodeon with a lame and dull remake of his awesome first sitcom Neds Declassified School Survival Guide. It's basically Ned with a girl as the main character.

The lead girl is uninteresting and her facial expressions are obnoxious. I just wanna punch her in the face. She is kinda similar to Moesly.

The nerdy token black friend is basically the Cookie of this show. He's lame and annoying.

Crispo is the best character on the show. Why can't he be the lead character. He's like a cool version of Ned.

Mindy is basically the Bitsy/Missy of the show.

Neds Declassified had memorable side and minor characters that we all remember and loved. This show on the other hand.... the rest of the characters are forgettable.

The only decent thing about this show is the intro theme song, other than that this show SUCKS!

The characters are bland, the show is completely unfunny, the show overall is dull and uninspired. I always zone out trying to watch an episode. There's reason this show got canceled. It's BORING!!!!! Just a crappy rip-off of a better show. Ned's Declassified and Big Time Rush were amazing! Sorry Scott Fellows, you failed with this 100 Things turd. Be more original next time.
