As the Bell Rings

I watched its first episode and I found it interesting. Then I watched the rest of them and loved it! It's so different from all the other Disney shows. And it's funny, too. I love the idea of one-fixed-corridor-set and of them looking at the camera between their lines. The actors are great, too. No over-the-top acting. At least, I don't think so. Plus, they give each and every character equal roles- no lead character. And that's really cool. And the fact that it's only 5-minute-long sets it even separate from other shows. I was so bored with the same plots of Disney and a lesson at the end. But after watching this show, I can see that they've still got the talent. It's my favorite show, already!

I say it again, it's like no other show there is. It's awesome!

As the bell rings is your usual cheesy children's show. Many have commented on the 'bad' acting but it's nothing to do with the actors- it's the writers doing. It's a (rather lame) start to Disney productions in the UK and hopefully, if there are any more Disney UK shows, they will have better writers and more time to showcase talent rather than a pitiful (although deserving for this particular show) 5 minutes.

As the Bell Rings (UK) follows the break-times of a group of students from 'Shakespeare High'. There's all the stereotypical high school characters played by a young British cast. You have the Sporty girl, the Sporty boy, the Pretty one, the Love-sick one, the Naughty one, the Popular one, the Gossip Queen and the Goody-two-shoes... everything as you would expect from a Disney show to match the dreadful story lines and a single set (through a window in the hallway).

This show is very cliché and as with all Disney channel productions- predictable. It's not something to sit down and watch religiously, but it's great for amusing small children.

Awful! The acting is terrible, they don't even show you the classrooms and even worse story lines. Who ever thought about creating this load of rubbish? It gives the British Disney channel a bad reputation. Maybe OK for small 9 or 10 year old who are bored but not (definatly not!) for teenagers like most of us reading this who want humour, teen aged twists and just blooming' good entertainment. If I were you in Britain I would watch the American programmes as they're much better than as the bell rings. So make sure you're sensible and give this awful x107 (suppose to funny but isn't) programme. So remember Be sensible guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and give it a miss!

I am a proud Australian and there is one thing that has to be said about this show. It makes me lie about having ever seen it or been to Australia. It's not the first piece of crap that Disney Channel Australia or Disney Channel in general has brought out and it certainly won't be the last but it's hard to watch this drivel. When there is a 5 minute gap between two Disney Shows, i'd prefer for them to plug it with music that sucks than this show because it is shows like this that make me glad i can't actually see the TV properly. THis show is an awful representation of Australian Kids and schools and it wouldn't kill them to hire some kids who could actually act. My advice to Disney, play this on PLayhouse Disney where the kids don't actually know what is going on because then you wouldn't get such bad reviews.

For those that wrote a bad comment, and gave the show a horrible review (users above) why are you even watching the show anyways? It's called change the damn channel. Remember, not everyone has the same taste, and likings as you do. Sure there are shows on Disney that we don't like to watch, doesn't mean you have to tell the world it was the worst idea ever, and say DON'T WATCH EVEN ONE EPISODE. There are maybe one or two cartoon shows that simply do not entertain me, but that doesn't mean that other's will hate it too, I just change the channel and wait for the show I enjoy watching comes on. All in all that's your take, just don't watch it. Because guess what? It's a cute short show that I find entertaining in between the next half hour show. I recommend it for everyone. =]
