    Better than Hannah Montana

    The pilot was horrible. Period.

    However, Disney has a problem with that...maybe that's why they show 2 episodes at once. So I hung in there for the next episode.

    It was funny. And unpredictable- I honestly did not expect the Sterling Knight to be the type of character he was, nor did I expect the show to end like it did. Usually Disney gets all their conflicts resolved by the end of the show, but obviously SWAC is going to be different.

    And honestly, it was a thousand times better than the most recent season of Hannah Montana.

    Here's hoping for more improvement from Sonny With a Chance!

    decent i suppose...

    as like other Disney channel shows they're cheesy, pointless and so not funny with a stupid laughter track on every sentence...

    Well yes this is like this but i actually think its OK.

    demi lovato over acts quite a lot but you can put up with it after a while.

    i love the little girl who sometimes appears in it. She's the best and is really funny.

    i think its kinda cheesy but a really good storyline. the script is well thought out and funny.

    i also love the brightly colored decorated set and props.

    overall a 7/10.. its worth watching and after a while you do get attached to the show. not the best show but OK .. decent like the title lol

    Sonny With the chance of a GREAT SHOW!

    Wow, i can't believe it. I thought that it will be the same Disney shows nowadays. But, the result is... a GREAT SHOW. Demi Lovato... She's Hilarious!, but... needs more realistic acting. She can be a little too hyper. Tiffany Thorton... I love her! Great acting that's what a funny character should be. Sterling Knight... Great! But, still just enough. Brandon Mychal Smith, Doug Brochu, their all just very fine, and Allison Ashley Arms... she is the weirdo kid that is fun to watch. Maybe, this is the best Disney show (by now). I hope that there will be loads of more fun in season 2 and more improvement. KEEP ON THE GOOD WORK!!!

    Sonny with a Chance, Not So Bad

    Here are my thoughts after seeing 'Sonny with a Chance':

    Firstly, I think having a happy and sunny character is a relief after all the cliché 'emo' and 'punk rock' characters. The acting is not that bad. It could use some work, but I've seen much worse. The jokes don't seem that forced. Some of them are unfunny, but I did find my self laughing at some of the jokes in the second episode. The show in itself is a cute idea. It reminds me of the Amanda Show. The characters have potential. I thought they were cute and somewhat original. I'm not saying the show is perfect, but it isn't as bad as people say it is. I give it a 7.

    A revival to Disney's turn to bad shows

    Finally, Disney is coming up with more original ideas for their shows, and incorporating better actors. Well, the title is pretty cheesy, Sonny is the main character, so like all Disney shows, it has to be in the title. The reason that i gave this show an 8 is because it comes off as a little rushed. On the first episode Sonny's all "O.M.F.G i can't believe i'm here!!!" but then in the second episode she acts like she's been there for a couple years and got used to it all. But, discarding that, it's a great show, showing that Disney could be fully revived someday. With that said, this show show is a great addition to the franchise. I really hope they continue for a couple more years.
