More than ever Nickelodeon misses the creative Genius of Dan Schneider. His "shticks" of shrimp, sushi, pear phones, the 90s, Star Trek, Breakfast Clubs, and of host of other gags sort of made the Schneider world fun. From Drake and Josh to Kid Danger, his shows just had class, were funnier, well produced and had the right combination of actors to make the whole thing work.
On the other hand this DANGER FORCE is an absolute joke. It's horrible.
Since they have a child as a producer with no wordly experience, they are missing some of the basics of story telling. In each of the other Schneider productions the story centered on one or two people fascinating people--Drake and Josh, Victoria Vega, Henry Hart, Babe and Kenzie, Carly, Zoey, when the focus is one one character we can see and trust the world around that character. Once Schneider was forced to leave Henry Danger, the proven format of the show lost itself. Henry was no longer the center, no girl friends, no trouble with school, it all became an ensemble show. It seemed that the new producer liked to have everyone talking at one time, which was just silly. Captain Mann who was cleverly eccentric before became a downright fool. Who wants a "super hero" who is a complete and total idiot.
Well. this new show called Danger Force, takes up with that poor story telling and production. With the exception of Haven Flores, everyone else is a C+ actor, or maybe they're just given D- scripting. Flores has talent, it's obvious, but it's totally wasted on this show.
I watched 2 1/2 episodes of this disaster and just couldn't take it any longer.
It's pure junk.
Nickelodeon needs to find a new Dan Schneider, or go on your knees and get the other one back.
But making shows like this for kids--forget it.
For now, I'll enjoy reruns of Victorious (they should have made many more episodes of this one) and Game Shakers (WHY was this good show cancelled?)
