Escola de Rock

I enjoyed the 2003 original "School of Rock" movie, when Nickelodeon announced they are making a series based on the film I was quite interested. The cast looked similar but the songs weren't sounding right. They all sound like modern Pop songs. They aren't rock songs. Where is the "in your face" attitude that the original movie had which make me felt like they were in a rock band? This is just sappy pop stuff. I expected better from Nickelodeon but then I guess we have seen another show with the "Disney curse". Nickelodeon are trying to copy the style of Disney's shows because that's how Disney became "successful" in the 21st century. These are sad times really. Also is that really her voice or are they using Auto Tune? I know this show is for kids but it would be better if they would be introduced to ACTUAL rock music.

Awful, awful , awful! What an insult to the classic 2003 film which was a childhood favorite. Nickelodeon turned a great movie and turned it into a horrible, generic, and bland kids sitcom that you see on Disney/Nickelodeon nowadays.

School of Rock, more like School of Pop. Where the hell is the rock music? Why are they singing Meghan Trainor bubblegum pop music?? They ruined all the characters and changed their races and personalities.

Tomika was the chubby black girl with the voice like Aretha Franklin. Now in the show she is a midget tomboy Spanish girl who can't sing for her life. She sounds like a dying cat.

Freddy was the cool bad rebel that had an edge. Now he's a bland pretty boy with no personality.

Summer was the educated, clever, and responsible. She thinks mostly of succeeding and earning good grades. In the show she's a shallow dumb blonde who can't do anything right and thinks about cute boys.

Lawrence in the movie was the socially awkward Asian kid. Now he's annoying and obnoxious comic relief bumbling fool.

They guy playing Dewey is trying way too hard to emulate Jack Black down to the voice and hair. He sucks!

This show is not funny, annoying laugh track, boring characters, the writing is bad. Why was this show made? It doesn't work as a TV show. Nickelodeon please cancel this trash and stop pumping out these awful sitcoms.

Refreshing TV show from nickelodeon, some might say it's borrowed from others shows. But this is version very subtle and fun to watch. Maybe some people might not like the show but people who like a laid-back type of TV show. Will love this. There's been recent TV shows there been very similar to this genre, but the reason why this one might succeed is because the lead actor is sort of bumbling funny but yet sincere. I really hope to show makes it , As a parent of a young child myself or young adult I need the show has a lot of good values but yet has very much. The segment of the younger population that nickelodeon is look to perfect.

Why must every Nickelodeon and Disney show be written at the level of a seven year-old when the target audience appears to be 'tweens'? Look at the feature films aimed at the same audience. Just look at the original motion picture and capture that essence. "Hunger Games" and "Divergent". If they were written at the level of "School of Rock" they would be laughed off the screen. Kids today are informed and exposed to much more than kids used to be. Even the animated films for younger audiences are written with more intelligence and understanding that is far beyond what these 'children's shows' put up on the smaller screen. So please, if anyone associated with these networks reads this, raise your standards of performing, writing and directing.

How to turn a Jack Black movie masterpiece into a hallucinating banality. The show is not to be taken seriously at all, too many subplots, no interesting characters, the story seems to be completely repetitive. It had great potential, but it was not exploited properly. In any case it's watchable, but not to be taken seriously.
