Bucket and Skinner's Epic Adventures

Last Fall,one of the stunt coordinators I work with(D'Janine King-Lasky) told me about Bucket & Skinner, but I thought it sounded like just another "typical" Nickelodeon show! Several of our adult crew members and some of our teen and young adult actors became fans of the Bucket & Skinner show right away and went to the filming of several episodes over the past few months. They all enjoyed the gymnastic stunts and kept saying how it reminded them of our crazy surf themed film with comical beach stunts,sight gags,acrobatics,etc. I became a little curious myself because I was a gymnast years ago prior to getting into the stunt business, then more recently, a stunt coach and prop master. The more our film crew talked about the show, the more I was learning(without them knowing it)I found out that my supervisor, D'Janine had met Tom (the executive producer) 27 years ago and it also turns out that Ashley Argota was a former gymnastics student of hers (she taught Ashley cartwheels years ago, ironically, Ashley did cartwheels at the very shoot that her former coach (D'Janine)attended, how's that for coincidences?) I have to admit,at first I became more curious about all the surf themed stunts, props and set lighting, than about the show's content. Finally,the many co-incidents and parallels(such as the exact same serving trays at Taco,Taco,Taco as we had in our film)compelled me to finally watch the crew's copy of Bucket & Skinner(4 episodes). I watched all 4 episodes back-to-back and I was actually quite impressed to say the least! I don't normally watch Nickelodeon shows, but this show has gotten my attention! I will be watching Bucket & Skinner from here on out and now, I also watch the show for content! I could possibly be one of your oldest fans! Good show!Keep up the gymnastics and such(tell your writers that THIS kinda stuff is always a hit, even with us older stunt guys!)

That's the review from my 6 year old, unless we are wrong and the show was targeting 2 year old, although I believe they are too smart for this.

That's too bad, because I don't have a problem with most nick shows. Spongebob, Big Time Rush (yes, I admit it. I think BTR is a very good show, in fact, one of the best on TV right now) and so on... but Bucket and Skinner's Epic Adventures are an epic fail. It insults the intelligence of it's target audience and leaves no choice but changing the channel.

The characters are dull, the lines are just empty and they rely on "pie in the face" stunts, but even this falls flat. It's amazing that Nick's executives are allowing just about anything to be broadcast, and after producing so many good shows, one has to wonder who was behind this.

Don't watch it.

I too was able to see a taping and really enjoyed it. I saw a lot of comments on Nick that thought it would be like Drake and Josh, not so. Bucket and Skinner are best friends and very different from each other. Although Piper is feisty, she is nothing like the Megan character on Drake and Josh. It is its own type of show with unique characters and very funny!! The sets are awesome and there is a lot going on. The other characters in the show, like Aloe and others, help make it different. I found it very entertaining and a lot of fun for the whole family! I have enjoyed watching the first few episodes with the family and cannot wait to see more.

The actors are awful and not talented. It is not funny at all. Also sometimes it is not very appropriate for kids. My very younger brother watches Nick, and sometimes in the shows it surprises me at the things they say and do. The show is a stupid idea... they obviously ran out of descent ideas!. And whose names are Bucket and Skinner? What...the...??? And plus they make it look like surfers are stupid...I'm not a surfer..but I know someone who is, and they are not stupid....it is very insulting. If they were trying to target teens as their audience..well, they failed...I am a young teen and I absolutely hate this show and so do my friends and my whole family I give this 0 out of 5 stars if I could

Who thought that this was a good idea? What were they thinking?! "Hey, let's get two idiots who look like they're trying to hide their constipation and we have no idea who they are, and let's get that pipsqueak from True Jackson VP, add a couple of jersey idiots and we'll be all set!" I bet that's what they thought. Because that's all this show is, those two guys being idiots and trying to do stunts and then get hurt and in real life would probably kill them (not a big loss though)but hey! It's a show, so everything is fine! And the acting... is beyond words, it's just in the top 5 of worst actors. The two boys as i said are just dumb, no real substance, the girl is just annoying, and really seems like Barack Obama reading off a teleprompter, and that jersey guy... just, i don't want to talk about it let's move on. There's no real background of ANYTHING anyways, so why should we care about what they do, just let me know when they die. This show makes me really hate Nick even more then i already have in past years for the following: Stopping Drake and Josh Ruining our favorite sponge i Carly Victorious Big Time Rush Fairly Odd parents And now THIS?! I must say, Nick is just down the toilet nowadays, and please Nick, if you're listening, STOP THIS SHOW!
