When i first saw this show i too thought, like so many others, it was going to be really lame. First of all i'm from Europe: i didn't know Keke Palmer. After watching a few episodes this show grew on me.
Like many have already said the cast has great chemistry. The writing isn't always "outstanding":quite an overstatement there lol! But what keeps it together, for me, is this wonderful talented cast.
When i look back at Kenan an Kell or a corny show like Saved by the bell (yes i'm from that time period and yes i loved it!) what was it really about? The stories at times (or most times) were not that good: It was meant to make you laugh, and laugh i did!!
So I do agree the writing needs to improve when it comes to the jokes/storyline. But i don't think that this show is really THAT bad in comparison to other shows (i-carly,big time rush,sonny with a chance).
Conclusion this show (for me) does what it's supposed to do: have children/families enjoy themselves for thirty minutes or so nothing more nothing less!

Unlike the typical Nickelodeoon shows True Jackson Vp by far has more variety and depth than those common icarly and the troop crap they call shows. The cast have great childish humor and moderate humor that can attract both audiences and portrays great acting skills from Keke Palmer. Though sometimes it seems over done the end result always impresses me and never leaves the viewer disappointed. So I commend the cast and a big applaud to Keke for keeping it real. For any of you fools out there who think it is a bad show because of the plot or humor check again and see how similar and foolish its plot is as to icarlys.It is also about time that they get a teen who hasn't been posted in the tabloids for underage drinking, breakups, nude images, or drugs of some sort.
I'm currently rewatching this right now and it's so funny and the theme song is catchy that I don't skip the intro but there are so problems with this show.
The lead character true seems to be the typical perfect character and she has a crush on the typical hot guy who happens to like her back for no reason all of a sudden which is seen in pretty much every show. True is not as perfect as everyone sets her out to be.
Lulu is the worst character of the show. She is way to clingy when she got her boyfriend and gets jealous about everything. And watching it back she's a really annoying character.
Ryan is a ok character but he's kinda like a dumber Freddie who always gets hurt. And hanging out with two woman.
Amanda by far is the funniest and best character. It still brings back childhood memories.

I'd first like to congratulate Keke Palmer on continued acting success. I have watched several episodes with my children and can rest assured that they are viewing quality television that isn't sexually suggestive or morally degrading. Our youth deserves quality television programming!!! Thanks to the other actors in this production for portraying clean teen images. And finally the comments that were previously submitted degrading the show are just plain false. This show is very interesting, the jokes are appropriate for the suggested audience and the show clearly has a future on Nick!!! Maybe those viewers are too mature to watch the show to enjoy it. Keep up the good work True Jackson cast!!
I really enjoyed this show. It's shows kids being kids and that working in an office is often no different from high school. The cute and witty humor and fun personalities kept me watching til the end.

- TriviaTrue Jackson's catchphrase, "You said what now?!" comes from when Keke Palmer was told the news of her casting. She couldn't believe it, and told the producers, "You said what now?!" The producers loved it so much, they made it her character's catchphrase.
