Taina

When I first saw this show I thought it was cool, but now it sucks. All it is is about love or some other junk. And the characters Daniel McDaniel, Lamar, and Maritza are so stupid. I give this show Four Thumbs Down. Don't watch it, it's a waste of time.

Taina's not just for pre-teens, I'm 14 and know lot's of 14 year olds who watch it. It is a teen show, it's on T4.

I love this show. Season 2 has become way funnier along with Season 2 of As Told By Ginger. The comedy and drama put together pleases me and others alot.

I just watched the Pilot(I taped it) and it seems like it will be a pretty good Nick show. Christina Vidal plays the lead role as Taina(duh). She is a freshman in a Performing Arts Highschool in NYC(woo baby!!). She daydreams and has a very very strong desire to become famous(as do I in some respects). Being that I only have one episode to go on this is all I can give you. Christina has a very good singing voice as shown in the series(we'll get to hear more of it). The show will basically give you Taina's journey through life ,Highschool and her quest for fame. I can't really comment much on the other characters but I did notice Karen Fraction from My Brother and Me as the ballet instructor. I'll hijack Ebert and give it a thumb up.

***a little sidenote** Christina Vidal has lived Taina's life to an extent being that she is also a NYer(woo !!) and she also went to a performing arts highschool. I hope people can latch themselves onto this series because it is very good.

This show takes the biscuit for the worst, unbelievable unfunny tragic programme of the history of the earth.

Maritza looks like a smaller version of Lesley Ash (lips, obviously, has a bee stung them or is it surgical? Hmm!) and I'm pretty sure if anyone went around calling people a dog they'd find themselves in hospital quick enough.

The fact is, if Taina is supposed to be all streetwise and sassy why the hell does Maritza walk over her? She's a total weed who needs a dose of bad medicine!

Her family are henious! I mean, it feels as though her parents are total weeds too.

Renee needs to learn when to shut up, and Dan and Lamar are freakshows.

All in all, a monstrous piece of tack which I'm glad to say has been axed.

I would just like to say that I love this show. OK its childish and a bit far-fetched at times but it is still a good kids show. The title song is also good and I like it how it is showing Latin-American culture because usually it is either Black-American, White-American, British or Black-British (I'm biased to the last one). However it shows most of the above (minus British stuff). A very good show which doesn't get the credit is deserves. *****- 5 stars.
