The Latest Buzz

I managed to get my hands on advance screening copies for a number of episodes from this great new show, and I was really impressed with how quickly the show found its stride and developed into something truly extraordinary. This is what this country has been waiting for for a long time: a true sit com on a par with the best of its U.S. counterparts! Like all great shows aimed at young people, there are plenty of laughs here to keep the parents tuning in along with their kids. The cast is made up of some truly gifted young actors, and together they create an ensemble that brought to mind what the cast of Friends might have been like if they all met when they were in Junior High.

With respect to the show's writing, the dynamics between the characters--and the situations they all get themselves into--are consistently smart, engaging, and never seem to talk down to its young audience members. And somehow they manage to strike that delicate balance of sentiment and high jinx.

For my money, this show has more entertainment value packed into one frame than a whole season of Degrassi.

I've been able to see most of the first season of "The Latest Buzz", and let me tell you, the show gets funnier and funnier. Most of the stars were in their first acting gigs, but they get good really fast, and let's face it - it's way better to have 14-15 year olds playing 14-15 year olds, than having 28 year-olds playing 16 (hello, OC?).

These kids are real kids, playing the right age, and they're friggin hilarious! Especially Michael and Wilder!

And yes, "The Latest Buzz" has a laugh track. So do a lot of great comedies, like "Friends" and "How I Met Your Mother". Get over it. I did after less than one episode. I can honestly say that I've laughed out loud at every episode I've seen, and I've enjoyed every one. Each of the characters is fun and interesting, and this show is at least as good as "Life with Derek" and "Hannah Montana".

The people in India have already seen 20 or so episodes, and "Latest Buzz" is the #2 kids show on Disney Channel India, second only to "Hannah Montana". "Buzz" also had the best premiere ratings for any show in Family Channel's history in Canada - so people are watching and loving it... why aren't you? :D

As a teenager, I wouldn't say i completely love this show. However, i don't think its as bad as a lot of people put it as. Yes, there are some things that could be changed but overall, it has potential. I mean, when i see a really good show, and look back to their first season.. the episodes are pretty lame, but eventually the seasons and episodes get better and better. This show just came out and i think its doing well.

As far as 'tips' go for the show, i would definitely suggest that they cut that recorded audience laugh after every line! Its good once in a while, but come on, you guys play it after lines that are not even funny. Another thing, & I'm going to be completely honest, but that one girl on the show who plays rebecca needs to take some better acting classes. Actually, a lot of the cast members do, but she's just.. the one that stands out the most. The girl who plays DJ, i think is the only one who can act, and the guy who plays Wilder isn't bad either. One more thing i would suggest, is adding a new character, and maybe adding a new twist to the next season.

I would also recommend to people who hate this show, and have only probably watched 5 min and shut it off.. try watching a few episodes before you judge the show, i guarantee a few of you may like it.. (depending on your age). I mean, its not something i watch on a daily basis, but i admit it is a good show, for kids that is.

After having watched this show on ABC with my little brother every school afternoon for the past month i can only say one thing....i love it! it makes my afternoon complete being able to sit down and watch a thoroughly light-hearted children's show without feeling the need to criticize particular characteristics which would - in any other circumstance - be considered the result of amateur directing and/or mediocre acting.

The show's setting and choice of young cast lend towards the obvious knowledge that this show is first and foremost targeted towards children, an audience who will not respond and acknowledge the grandeur of elaborate set designs and a Hollywood-style script. Instead the show achieves a very rare nostalgic feeling for the older audience and lets children watch a show that is....well....FUN!

I highly recommend it for anybody who watches TV to enjoy themselves and have a good time!!

The Latest Buzz is a great show! I watch it with my younger sister and we find it hilarious!!!

I happen to like the laugh track...I mean who wants to laugh alone??? It adds to the show rather than taking away from it!

The actors do a great job too. I think they are extremely talented and play their roles well! The characters are all very likable! They always come through for one another, which is a great lesson for anyone to take from the show.

I love how they write about different things like music, fashion, sports, etc. Most of all, I love the fact that this show encourages journalism!

Kudos to The Latest Buzz!!
