I'm in the Band

I remember watching I'm in the Band back when I was in elementary school - it quickly became one of my favorite shows. The episodes "Annoying Arlene" and the one where they kept calling Charles "Chuckie" still stick with me today. The humor, the characters, and the chaotic energy of the band made it something really special.

It's genuinely disappointing that the show ended so soon and hasn't gotten the recognition it deserves since. There's no easy or legal way to watch it now unless you buy it on Apple TV - which just isn't accessible for everyone. I really wish Disney would release it on Disney+ or even as a full DVD collection. There's still a loyal fanbase out here who would love to revisit it.

In many ways, I'm in the Band felt like Disney's answer to Drake & Josh - funny, quirky, and full of heart. It had the potential to go even further if it hadn't been cut short. I just wish we had gotten more episodes to enjoy.

I remember when this show first aired. I think I even watched the premiere. Looking back, this show was... questionable.

With a premise similar to Spinal Tap or Popstar, it follows a fictional band. The catch... they're washed up and living in a van with a random family.

One of the band members (played by Steve Valentine, remember that name for future reference) was an Ozzy-type figure. One of the other characters is reminiscent of Kramer, but without the racism.

The only problem I have with this show is that it doesn't show the band snorting comically large piles of coke. You can't have a show about a hair metal band without large amounts of nose candy.

I am a grown up and a rock fan, and I absolutely love this show. If you are a teenager, you will love it, if you are interested in comedies about the rock business (realistic or not is not the question, how realistic was Spinal Tap? And , yet, it was great, 11 stars ;-) ) or into rock music (cause the music is not bad at all!!), you will love it. In a world with a lot of hatred, discrimination, and, not too forget, Rap and Hiphop (loved the 6th episode!), it is great to have a nice, fair show about rock where the only offense (if at all) is directed towards the characters themselves, which are all so lovable, that you don't mind them being a bit cliched (yes, show for kids) and simple-minded. And in contrast to other kids' shows, there are not the usual,flat 'dumb grown-ups' jokes where the teachers and parents (over-re-)act like complete idiots and not in the least with the same charm or originality like Ash. Anyway, the stories are fun and inoffensive, it is realtively original, the music is great, and the lyrics even better (come on, Face down in a plate of Nachos is fabulous - lyrics, music and the performance - instant classic). I will never understand how shows like this one (and Grandfathered and Grinder) get axed while a dull show like Young Sheldon (which is nothing like Big Bang Theory or even Sheldon IN TBBT) or even worse shows get fulsome praise... A shame there is only two seasons of this great, great, funny, creative rock show.

I loved this show when i was younger and i still love it with it's silly not over exaggerated humour makes it very good to watch it did not get old quick .

The music was actually good unlike other disney shows about musicians which most songs can be cheesy but iron weasel are probably the best fictional band very good my favourite song are geasers rock, band van, rock hard or go home, face down in a plate of nachos, weasel rock you the one from the sweet life on deak crossover can't remember the name actually i'd say there isn't an iron weasel song i don't like. Most recommended to metal fans.

THIS SHOW IS GOLD! It's better than all the other Disney crap they show (Fanny Montana, Wizards of Waverly Losers, Jonas, etc) The humor is fresh, the actors are actually extremely better than the actors on Disney Channel. Really a great show. I'm am so glad I found a astonishing comedy. (After Drake and Josh lost touch)

So ignore all those haters, because they are obviously brainwashed by todays music, and never knew how great Heavy Metal was. And, the name of the band in this show is absolutely funny. "Iron Weasel." Spoof for "Iron Maiden." Gradually a show that needs to obtain an orange blimp on The Kids Choice Awards.
