Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn

We stumbled upon this show on Netflix and my 5 year old watched the whole series over and over again. The thing this show has that is lacking elsewhere is decent plot and story. There are archs and storylines that actually make sense and my son started to see what a real story even is. When YouTube and Tik tok is trying to convince kids to be stimulated for 5 seconds and move on, this show keeps a kids attention and I enjoy watching it along side. The dad Tom is enough of a goofball that you can find humor in it as a parent. It's honestly just nice seeing a kids show where they aren't doing political things.

I am well above the target age for "Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn" but sometimes it's nice to watch a show that requires little thought, easy and lazy viewing for adults! The show revolves ten-year-old quadruplets made up of three boys Nicky, Ricky and Dicky with their sister Dawn (as yet, it's not been addressed whether Ricky and Dicky are both called 'Richard' and why not use 'Micky/Michael' instead of 'Dicky') and the children's harassed parents.

The show is surprisingly funny, even for those of us who have passed high school, and the kids are adorable, even if they don't look anything at all alike. My other lazy kiddie show at the moment is 'Girl Meets World' but I prefer this as the kids are more likable and they also look and act like ten-year-olds and gives the audience a soft spot for them. In GMW, some of the 'pre-teens' look almost ready for uni and the girls dress like they're on the catwalk instead of off to school.

"Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn" is definitely a nice wee show that can be enjoyed by children and their parents without the adults wanting to peel their eyeballs out in boredom!

When this show came out i was 14, but i was into show more like iCarly and Victorious and by S2 i was starting to grow of kids shows.

Now, didn't know getting in this that I'll recognize all the main cast except for one.

The show starts for the regular 9/10 years old same as the young actors, the jokes didn't hit me immediately but did for my sister and starts to progress with time and each season. Starts really innocent, a little bit of cringe and not that good acting. But I was keeping in my mind that these are 9/10 years old actors in their first big thing.

Then the show start to progress as the kids grew up, season 2 & 3 are our favorites. The kids, the jokes and the plot lines were more relatable for my sister and me at that age. The only weird thing I noticed is how long took them to shoot season 2 and it was obvious as the kids looked really grown by the end of the season and specially the beginning of season 3, like damn the pubirty hit them hard. And season 4 was obvious that is had problems related for behind the scene drama, but again a relatable stories (Kinda).

Our favorite episodes each season were S1 the Christmas episode, S2 the mall episode, S3 the YOCO and S4 the social media episode.

Didn't knowing that I'll see little Aidan, Lizzy and Mace in this, they grew so much as actors. **My favorite from the start was Ricky because i was like him in his age, and he was the best from the 4 in my opinion from acting wise and he just was improving more and more by the end, it's unfortunate that the actor not acting an more (I think?), he was really good for his age.

**For Aidan knowing him from umbrella academy, didn't believe that I'm watching the same actor, he improve SO much, specially after re-watching all the umbrella academy. In the beginning his character didn't have much story and it really improved, and he was kinda over acting till the season 2, good thing he stopped that (still cant believe that he starts in the umbrella academy right after this ).

**Lizzy, to be honest she was the worst and so cringe in S1 and till the middle of S2, first of all she grew up beautifully, second of all she became a really better actress specially knowing here from A million little things.

**Mace only saw him in That '90s show, his character the same as that, like if Dicky just grew up and suddenly living in the 90's. From the beginning i don't think that 9 yrs old kid will be that interested in the girls, but what do i know, and i understand why the character ends-up leaving.

In short, the parents a scene stallers, most of the time ( Brian from the suite live on Disney and Alisson from that '7.s show.

Just one thing in the end, is even if Dicky ends-upleaving at least 2-4 episodes to finish the series in a good note.

When this first came out, I used to threaten to turn it on. Once we started to actually watch it, it's now my favorite show on Nickleodeon (far and away the funniest, though "Henry Danger" is very funny too). The episode where they went to camp is as goofy as the best Batman episodes from the sixties (like when they ordered milk at the bar), and the one where RIcky (?) becomes a FaceChat superstar is hilarious too. My current night is built around waiting for what I think is the first episode without Dicky in it. Previews look silly; I am sure it'll be fun.

If people say they hate children's television, this is what they're talking about. Too much verbal agressions and bad role models. Nicky, Ricky, Dicky, and Dawn whine about everything. You may not think it would be impossible for your kid to get even whinier, but if they have Nicky, Ricky, Dicky, and Dawn for models, all bets are off. Their saccharine Nickelodeon show is stuffed with adults pretending to be children, complete with a steady diet of giggles, and their parents Anne and Tom try their hardest to tie it all together. The annoying theme song sounds more like fingernails scratching on a blackboard. For those looking for better shows, head on over to PBS Kids and go watch "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood" instead. It's way better than the Quad Squad. This show was thankfully taken off in 2018. I recommend you keep your kids far far away from this show as possible, I'll thank you later!
