3 fantômes chez les Hathaway

First I want to say that I am a teenage viewer who watches shows directed at various age groups. I've seen shows directed at infants and toddlers and shows directed at middle-aged adults. I've seen a wide variety and these days I'm often disappointed by the selection available on TV. Quite often I find myself wanting something light-hearted with innocent humor since many shows today are heavy on the drama and humor that is not so innocent. That's not bad or anything, it's just not what I want to watch all the time. So when I look for this humor I find myself turning to Nick because I find the shows on Cartoon Network absolutely horrible. As for Nick, things are a little more tolerable but there shows are no longer even directed towards teen. Even the shows focusing on teens boil down to a children's show with bad jokes. That's how I feel about Haunted Hathaways. There's nothing good or amazing about this show. It's not horrible either. It's bland and mediocre. It's the kind of show I would put on just to have noise in the background while I read a book, write, draw, or play a game on a hand-held device. Nick's quality of shows has dropped tremendously over the years. Great shows like Drake and Josh- something that was not only directed at teens but had humor and story lines that appealed to teens and older audiences, sometimes even younger. Mosr important though, it was a show that had content for teens!- are something of the past. Shows like ICarly, Sam & Cat, Victorious, etc are not bad but they are still, somehow, teen shows that are more aimed at children becoming teens. Now that's a lot of Schneider. Truth is though, there are few Nick shows worth mentioning that aren't Schneider. I myself could use and enjoy a show that wasn't his and his brand of humor, but Nick has no other shows that are even half as good. These days, the shows, Schneider or not, aren't funny anymore. These shows have actors who try too hard, horrible jokes, and just plain hard to swallow story lines and characters. It's either the same repeated formula followed by previous shows that came before or it's a half- baked attempt at something new. Haunted Hathaways, like most Nick shows, has fallen on the sword of half-baked attempts at something new and ridiculous, pathetic humor. And it really is sad because I'm getting tired of having to watch the same old Spongebob or Looney Toons every time I want a good humorous show.

This show is just plain bad. The jokes are eye rolling. Can we stop with the fart jokes! It's so childish and not funny. The whole Louie finger snapping into the wrong thing got old after the 3rd episode. The acting is bad. Both the parents overact and so does the kid playing Louie. The kid playing Miles is too cheesy. Amber Montana as Taylor? Good lord she can't act her way out of a paper bag. She always sounds like she's reading cue cards and she can't do comedy to save her life. She lacks charisma and can't carry a show herself.

The characters suck. The dad and Miles are both corny. The mom is too frantic and hyper. Louie is an obnoxious jerk. The teen daughter Taylor is an unlikable rude whiny brat. She's so bland and so are her interchangable group of friends who have no distinct personalities. She and the actor playing her boyfriend have zero chemistry.

Frankie is the only cool character on the show. She's unique, smart, and spunky. Breanna Yde is a cutie!

This is a nice series to watch. There was room for improvement to make the series better. The storyline of the whole series was alright. The cast selection was fine. They connected strongly to the storyline of the series. This series does reveal to viewers the true nature and reality of a teenager's life. It shows the real challenges and difficulties of building and balancing a life. This series teaches viewers a few things about growing up. I did not fully enjoy watching this series. It was fine and there are good parts. There were some parts throughout the series that I was not a fan of. This is still an alright series for viewers to watch.

OK so I have watched the first 4 shows and this is exactly what Nick needed !! Its a family friendly show, and I couldn't be happier they mixed the races up.I have a blended family and now my kids can finally feel accepted as people on TV live like they do! Love the jokes, love the sentiment, the writing is exceptional.

Every actor pulls their weight on the show.The Teen girl played by Montana delivers the goods with her very real and natural ability and spot on comedic timing.The mother played by King is obviously a Broadway trained actress, she is fantastic and funny as ever.The two little kids are hysterical and get the jokes, and the dad ( Benymon) is a pro.

Some people just can't accept that were in 2013 and shows from the 90's are outdated.This show brings the funny !! A plus

Okay, I wasn't sure what to think about this show. I am a 36 year old who enjoys family television when I don't need to analyze much, and for the nostalgia effect.

To start off, the setting is just bad. It takes place in a house connected to a bakery in New Orleans. The settings colors and atmosphere gives me a boring 60s retro kind of vibe. The props and effects are grossly generic, even for it's time.

If you are looking for good acting, you might as well skip this one. It's the pits. The character's expressions don't line up with their emotions. Also, mostly all the characters, except the little girl and ghost dad, are highly annoying in some fashion. A lot of the acting is very tense and feels forced.

Okay, with all the negative traits out of the way, it does possess some weirdly good qualities. I don't know if it has the same effect on others, but it gives me a calming/soothing sensation. When I end the day and wind down I usually play this show on Netflix. I am not sure why, but it relaxes me. I usually watch it until I sleep. It is one of the best shows for those who appreciate background noise from a TV to help them sleep. Very strange. Maybe it's the setting? I'm not sure. It is a good quality; to me anyway.

If you're looking for that perfect show for you and your little ones, this probably isn't it. It isn't that bad, but it isn't good either. Mediocre.
