Normal Demais

Shows on Nick are made to have fun, not so they would really show you the life of teenagers in Middle School. For god sakes, don't pick on every little thing you see wrong with the show. It's about three friends and about their ups and downs at school. I'm not saying that I completely love the show, because some episodes weren't that good, but I'm not saying I don't like it either.

Again, Nick has shows that are just made for fun. Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, Zoey 101, Unfabulous, & Drake and Josh are for those people who want to have fun watching a show about a imaginary place. If it showed really was middle school was like.. well then it'd be boring and uncreative.

Just caught an episode of this last week. I was led to believe it was a musical series were the main character Addie, does a lot of singing. Then I realized that a TV series where people would sing all the time can get old really quick. That's what happened to TNBC's All About Us.

Anyway, Addie is a very confident singer. Whether or not she's bad is based on whether or not you think all girls who reached puberty are supposed to be good singers.

But there's really not a lot of singing at all. You just get like a minute of it per episode. The only original thing about Unfabulous is that each episode starts out with a problem and the rest of the episode is a flashback leading up to that problem and then there's a solution in the end.

I dunno if this is worth watching all the time. Eventually, Unfabulous will be crammed into that pile of many preteen shows that follow that basic teen girl formula: a girl with one best girl friend and one best guy friend (note that one of these friends has to be other than white), a sibling of the opposite sex, stereotypical classmates, and multiracial teachers that are young and hip and other elements we know by heart from watching too much TeenNick and ZoogDisney.

Feel free to give this a few episodes, but if you don't like the Lizzie McGuire formula, be warned of what this show is capable of wearing out into.

Addie Singer (Emma Roberts) is facing the constant embarrassment of life with her friends boy crazy Geena Fabiano, sincere Zack Carter-Schwartz, her dog Nancy and her guitar. The show starts at 7th grade in Rocky Road Middle School. She has a crush on Jake Behari and dates Randy Klein. She is harassed by nemesis mean girls Maris and Cranberry. The friends hang out at a juice bar where her older brother Ben starts working at. The show ends after 3 years as the friends leave 8th grade.

It's a cute kids TV show. It's a good star vehicle for Emma Roberts. It's high on silly like Roberts' sing songs. Each episode starts with the ending as Addie is in some kind of wacky trouble and she recounts how she got there. The friends are great. The dream boy is a bit of a dud but it's cool that the foursome is ethnically diverse. It's a sweet show that relies heavily on the ample natural charisma of Roberts and it's a good innocent show for tween girls.

Okay, here's a great idea...let's take another famous person's sibling that is untalented as can be (aka: Jamie ) and make a show for them too. If she wasn't related to "Auntie Julia" then she probably wouldn't even have got an audition! The sad thing is that Producers actually think that people will continue to watch this garbage just because they put some one who is related to a known star in it. Bad news! If it's bad...then it doesn't matter! I would rather watch something with a group of "un-knowns" that at least know how to act! Oh yea and by the way:(news flash) Having an attitude doesn't mean someone CAN ACT!!! I know, let's make a show with all of Demi Moore's girl in it!

I saw the very first episode of Unfabulous, and I got hooked!!! It is way better than Lizzie McGuire ever hoped or dreamed to be! On a scale of one to ten, I would give it a nine. It's about a seventh grade girl who goes through life trying to fit in but learns life lessons along the way. She soon realizes that if she ignores the popular kids in school she will be much more happy and she will maybe someday become popular. She sings songs and hopes that someday she will become rich and famous for her clever, well-thought out songs. Her mom is a realistate saleswoman, her dad is a little obsessive, and her brother is perfect. I give this show five stars.
