Erin & Aaron

This is Nickelodeon's best show in recent times. I hope they continue this show because it does have potential and I really do think this the networks best work from the past 3 years. It's genuinely funny, the actors are great, the dynamic between the characters are fun & genuine, and it has heart. That's something really important about shows, especially ones made by networks like Nickelodeon. It's nice to Larisa Oleynik come back to Nickelodeon, so that's a nice especially for older & newer audiences since if you grew up watching Alex Mack then you're in for a nice treat, and if you're a youngster then you get to be introduced to her and her amazing work. Erin & Aaron is rock, and so does the them song. Erin & Aaron a fun family show that deserves to be continued.

Where to start with this one?

I was watching this with my daughter and after a couple of minutes thought "this is bad", it has half the quality of Disney/Nick shows from 10-20 years ago and double/triple the cliches, it was so bad I came to see who was behind it, just to discover it's actually a Nickelodeon show! (I was watching on Netflix).

I know they fired Dan Schneider obviously but he was there for so many years, nobody learned nothing from him? (I'm talking about the good parts).. I could probably do a top 30+ cliches this show has and to see people reviewing as one of the best from Nick in the last couple of years is just terrible.

Go watch reruns from Victorious, Henry Danger and Wizards of Waverly Place with your kids.

When I started watching the first episode, I already saw that it was a copy of Drake and Josh, which is a series that I love. But I got interested, and kept watching. In the end, I realized that it wasn't 100% like Drake and Josh. But still, it's not a very good series.

It's a super cliché series, the classic family plot. Besides Natasha's character, it makes me SO ANGRY! It makes me want to punch her every time she appears. But, it has its positive points too. Unlike most Nick series, it doesn't have very random and meaningless things appearing out of nowhere. Like "Henry Danger". Even though the themes of the episodes are kind of random sometimes.

In the end, Erin & Aaron is a series that is neither good nor bad, it's somewhere in between.

For better or worse, they love this show. There are some funny moments, a fair amount of questionable parenting, and the focus on original music is nice. The laugh track itself gives me some nostalgia to similar shows made in the 90s. It's a little tortured in places and the story line doesn't always make a lot of sense, but I think that's on brand for what the show is trying to be. I do hope they make a second season of this show, as I do think it has some great potential for future story lines given where season one ended. Also, a few of the songs are really catchy, whether I like it or not. Do I find myself singing "Cash for boots" under my breath from time to time? Yes. Yes I do.

I really don't expect much from shows on Nickelodeon or the comparable shows on Disney. But so little innovation, so much everything-is-just-copied-from-other-shows, that's really rare. Not one idea of their own. Really everything already existed elsewhere. And always better. Whether the composition of the characters, the lame stories or the series orientation.

Boredom is inevitable. It may be that in pre-internet times it was once enough to rerun the same stories for each new generation, only with new faces and slightly modernized equipment. But where pretty much everything is always present for everyone, that is simply no longer enough. The clever youngest, the patchwork siblings (of course the male is the wimp, she is the strong one, because it can't be any other way these days) and the parents are close to madness. In addition, hardly any of these series can do without singing. The only positive thing is that the sports obsession of other series doesn't exist here. The series is so sub-mediocre that it's not even trash good anymore.

So, let's be honest - 13 episodes, that's enough.
