    Messing up Jerry trainor's reputation on Nickelodeon

    I'm not saying this show is awful, but I don't like what it's doing with Jerry Trainor on Nickelodeon. The show is taking away Jerry trainor's popularity on iCarly as a funny, goofy, and creative guy who doesn't curse or drink alcohol. I don't like how they are trying to take away Jerry Trainor's cuteness by making him star on some adult show on Nickelodeon. I read that the show was cancelled. I'm just glad I don't have to hear Jerry Trainor say another curse word again. They need to understand what people think of Jerry Trainor when they watch him on Nickelodeon. They better keep him the way he is: not cursing or seen drinking alcohol.

    This show was not worth to be a show!

    Ever since, the disastrous Sam & Cat started to air on Nick. I watched the first 2 episodes of that show and was waiting for it to finish. Because it was so bad, I stopped watching Nick. When this show was showing Adverts/Commercials of it. To be honest, I found it quite funny. So I gave this show a shot. So I watched the first episode of it, and it sucked. The acting was very poor, the plot line was very bad, so does the jokes. The script was very poorly written, the jokes make no sense. They tried too hard for it to be funny, so it just comes out as yapping gibberish. Buddy is the worst part of this show, making it even worse than it already is!

    But you have to give them credit for the character clothing design, as they do follow the latest fashion. The directing is also not that bad, I saw behind the scene clips, and from what I've seen the filming is very accurate. But this does not change the fact, that it is still a very poor show! To be honest, nothing on set was anything OK or good. It was all very bad.

    This was my review, and thank you for reading it.

    My score: 2.3

    An Actual Good Show

    This show was pretty damn good. I found it surprisingly good. Going by the commercials, I thought this was gonna blow, but it turned out pretty good. I love this show, but sadly, Nickelodeon is in that stage where the instant they hear about one of their shows getting so much praise, they drop it like an atomic bomb (well, that's the over-dramatic version.)They took off Korra, they took off You Gotta See This, and they took off this. All of these shows were good (well, I've never seen Korra, but it seems like EVERYONE loves it), and of course, Nick had to can them, making room for crap like Henry Danger and Sanjay & Craig.

    ANYWAY, getting back to the review, this was a pretty smart show. It was about this boy who was already sophisticated living with this laid-back guy. It seems mediocre, I know, but when you see it, it is amazing.

    For starters, this show actually takes Jerry Trainor seriously. For once, he's not an annoyance. Not an annoying secret agent dog, not an annoying artist manchild, and not a crazy person, he's finally not annoying. Sure, he kind of has the characteristics of a manchild, but he's the mature kind of manchild, who goes out on dates, drinks, and stuff, but still wants to live life the cool way. Him and Wendell bond perfectly.

    I like how Wendell, although he has a mature personality, tries to live life in his childhood. He goes through normal kid things, like sleepovers.

    The writing isn't toned down to the lowest common denominator like most of Nick's live-action programming (I'm talking to YOU, Dan Schneider!), and it isn't filled with stupid dialog (again, talking to YOU, Dan!) But with all this genius behind the show, it had to get cancelled. WHY? Well... Probably a ratings or viewers issue or something, but let's talk about the hatred of this show.

    Forgive me if I sound like a Justin Bieber fangirl here, but the people who hated on this show are people who can't get their heads out of their asses, and hate on modern Nick program just because it's modern, and it comes from the channel that apparently "ruined their childhoods". They complained about this show because someone supposedly got pregnant and someone said "Damn" or drank alcohol or something like that. Well, maybe it's for ADULTS!!!! That's why it aired in the night, isn't it? There's a little program called Nick @ Nite, you know. And plus, you complain when a kids show isn't adult enough, but when there's a kid show that has some adult humor in there (this show is more for adults, but let's just say it's for kids for this example), you complain about the adult appeal in there. Don't believe me? Well, someone on Facebook commented about the Rabbids shoving an egg back up a rooster's behind in the Rabbids Invasion cartoon. Well, I've never seen that show, but maybe it's for kids AND adults. Geez!

    Sorry about that little rant, but ever since I heard about the hate for Wendell and Vinnie, I had all this built-up rage that I had to let out. Anyways, after the cancellation, the show was brought to the TeenNick channel, the burial ground for old cancelled Nickelodeon and Nick @ Nite shows. Well, it's now off. How sad.

    Well, I'll miss you, Wendell & Vinnie. You were a great show.

    Awesome.

    I think this comedy is very good. Usually Nickelodeon shows have dried out humor or terrible jokes; like Marvin Marvin... But this one is very great and an addictive show. I hope it doesn't get canceled an keeps going. It's a very interesting comedy and very awesome. I look on my TV guide to see when the next episode is,it's so cool. But like I said, This is such a great show, not like those shows that are such a stinker. I don't like to talk about other shows while reviewing one, but just to give an example: New shows like Marvin Marvin have pretty bad jokes, and not much humor, also, Studio 10 is such a waste of time I can't believe that show interrupts SpongeBob. Sorry to criticize other shows on this review but... I just had to give examples.

    Best Hidden Gem of a TV Series of All Time!

    Easily one of my favorite family TV series of all time. The cast/acting is great and the writing is fantastic; has just the right amount of subtle adult humor sprinkled in. This show was cancelled way too early :(.
