Max and Shred

I love this show. It's funny and full of surprises. What's not too like. Please show more of Howie- she's so funny and cute. Her sense of humour is on point. I love her outfits. She is so intelligent. Please come to England. Please. The show is entertaining and I like the way the writers have written the episodes, like young Howie she is a shown as a strong girl and has compassion as well as great one liners ( which I might add she executes so well). I love the way in which she helps Alvin with all the scientific experiments, can these experiments be a little more daring?

Max and Shred antics are also hilarious. The episode with the baby was so funny and when they both liked the same girl at school. Keep up the good work Nickelodeon.

As much as I enjoy sitcom, I also love science and there's only few who does that beautifully (big bang theory), luckily most are created for older audiences. But this one is very friendly that really depicts a contrasting-stupidness of his mate, Max. Every character is greatly written and the jokes, sarcasm, and even the extra characters interplays so well. I wish they didn't toned-down in season 2. But overall, this sitcom deserves more!

I didn't quite get this show. I mean there were some nice elements, but there just wasn't enough juice to make it work. Max and Shred were fine, but their lives revolved around a house surrounded by snow, a yogurt place, and a high school hallway. Where was the excitement? The mother, father and older sister were useless, and the boys (main characters) didn't have anything to do. The actor who played Max seemed like a nice kid, the type you might like to have as a friend. I was surprised to learn that the actor who played Shred was only 12 years old; considering that he was pretty impressive. This show needed a villain and less time with the parents, especially the father. He was supposed to be funny, but he wasn't. Maybe they can refit it.

When I first saw commercials for this show, I was like, "Oh, man! Here comes another dumb Dan Schneider show that's gonna have bad comedy, annoying characters, and the nerdy kid is just going to be a punching bag!" I was 100% wrong. This came from Canada, who seem to make great shows (Life with Boys came from Canada, and that show seemed okay), and this was not created by Dan Schneider (thank goodness!) I saw the show, and it was pretty good. I love it.

The kid who plays Alvin (Shred) is a pretty great actor, and he kind of reminds me of Josh Nichols from Drake & Josh. Max is a surprisingly nice guy. He doesn't pick on Alvin like you would expect, he actually likes the guy. This show has something that modern Dan Schneider shows don't, and that's comedy. This show doesn't rely on randomly yelling out pointless crap, weird words, and names of foods (*ahem* Mr. Schneider). An example is the episode where there's a snow day, and Alvin has to face his fear of dressing up in an animal costume for some family fun skit. Hey! It may not SEEM funny, but at least it's better than that man I mentioned above.

I do not think that Nickelodeon shows this anymore, which is a real bummer. I'm not going to go all angry and talk about how they do this kind of crap to all the good shows, but I would just be sounding like a broken record.
