A History of Radness

A History of Radness is one of those shows that has the potential to inspire and encourage kids to chase their dream no matter what challenges they may face. It is a show about friendship, about teamwork and most importantly, about not judging people by appearance alone. There are so many kids today that are afraid to just be" their authentic self and they try to change who they are to "fit in" and feel accepted. This show is about embracing who we are and sharing our natural gifts. Thank you AMAZON for airing a show like this and if this pilot gets picked up, it's sure to be a WINNER...These kids are all amazingly talented and my kids and I can't wait to learn more about how the plot develops week after week.... You have die hard fans in this household :)

History of Radness was well done and has stellar support.

Henry Rollins did a fantastic job portraying a coach. There is a song written by Hutch Harris. Dan Reynolds of Imagine Dragons is narrating. James Iha is involved in the project and known for Smashing Pumpkins, A Perfect Circle and Tinted Windows.

Actors Marlhy Murphy, Isaak Presley Ceci Balagot and Dalton Cyr are musicians and provide the show credibility. Cast members delivered. Each actor reflects an ownership of characters, very believable.

I am familiar with Dalton Cyr's music. Casting Cyr as lead singer for the band was a stroke of brilliance. His vocals are outstanding. Check-out his song Upside Down.

Suspect that Amazon has planned ahead. Able to have the series on Prime and sell music recorded for the series is a smart move.

This show is the viewing experience you wish you could give your children all the time. The main characters are so refreshing and break the typical lead-role stereotypes. I really hope they make more episodes, we are waiting for them eagerly. I love that the actors are real musicians and the way this show is created is such a break from the normal monotony of kids shows. It is so quirky and entertaining we just cant wait for more! So often I find myself questioning the inappropriate messages that these kids shows are conveying and with this show I found myself celebrating the theme and messages. We need shows like this, shows with lead male and females that show kids its OK to be different and its OK for kids to rock out on instruments too!

My kids and I watched this because James Iha had composed it. I already expected something good not only because of Iha but because of Henry Rollins. ( I could take or leave Imagine Dragons but hey... that's the one my kids loved!).

Anyway. I was suitably blown away. I even got my wife to watch it later with me, once the kids had gone to sleep. Then my kids watched it again with their friends.

Look, there's so much to like about this show from the authentic performances, the way it's shot - blending a cinematic feel with the more hand held stuff, to the story itself. And yes - THE MUSIC is great.

I want my kids to watch things that aren't about being famous, popular or pretty. I want real, aspirational stuff. It reminded me a lot of Freaks n Geeks in the way it was so earthy. It's certainly unlike anything else on TV at the moment. Amazon has made a winner here. We are officially captivated and standing by for more episodes

Bravo Amazon

A History of Radness has done what I thought would no longer be done with children's television. I have seen so many shows on TV these days geared towards kids that honestly make no sense to me. The shows I grew up with had a purpose, a hidden meaning, lying around in the show. Watching it as a kid, you don't catch it right off. Watching it as you get older, like I did, you find these meanings right off. This show incorporates many things that I have found I enjoy seeing in shows for kids. You have an unlikely group of kids that just don't match in personalities coming together to do something that, in one way or another, they enjoy: making music. In my eyes, that is something that is great. I am happy to say that this is definitely a show that, if it is given the green light, and I hope it is, I will be buying and watching with my nieces.
