Henry Danger

This show just recently grew on me! But I like it a lot!

I rarely watch Nickelodeon. The only times that I do is when my sister comes over on holidays and she hogs the TV. I have to say that out of all the live-action shows currently airing (Game Shakers, School of Rock, Thundermans and others), Henry Danger is one of my favourites. The show is beautifully self-aware and both the situations they face and the dialogue reflect that it's a show that's just for fun. I love cheesy plots and lines as long as someone knows that they're being so. And this show is definitely that. From plots involving villains who're harvesting beetle tears to the hero's name itself (Captain Man. Oh jeez how I laughed when I first heard that). This show isn't serious. It has a sorta campy feel to it and I love how the writers seem to have fun with each episode and situations that the characters are in. Watch, enjoy, laugh. It definitely has its drawbacks, but I felt like no-one really explained the good in it, so I hope this helps.

I've always loved Dan Schneider's sense of comedy. From All that to Icarly have been my favorite shows. And even though this how doesn't live up to those show's qualities, its still makes me laugh every time i watch it. Its got a combination of weirdness and random and they go together really well in this show. Sure, it doesn't live up to Drake and Josh' style of humor but i will still watch it when i'm bored. It kind of has its own unique plot. A kid becomes a superheroes' sidekick and has to deal with his normal life along the way. Sure, this plot is used everywhere but this one takes the cake. And once again, Dan Schneider has made a great comedy.

So I can admit that I'm an adult woman who watches Nickelodeon (I grew up on it, and I've found that watching kids shows and kid movies helps me ease my stress because, let's face it: a lot of the shows on t.v. aimed at adults feature topics/scenarios that are too "like real life" for a person like me who just wants to relax). Call me an immature escapist if you want, but isn't that what t.v. is for? Anyhow, I gave "Henry Danger" a try -- and let me say, I was surprised that it made me laugh so much. The first eppie that I watched was the birthday party episode. And this led to watching three more episodes on-demand (my faves so far are "Man Beast" and also the episode where a new "kid" joins the basketball team). I adore the kind of humor in "Henry Danger" -- there are many side-jokes that are aimed at an older crowd so parents/adults won't get left out. The jokes also include pop culture references.

I enjoy the whole adventure, superhero aspect of it all. I don't mind Piper -- she's supposed to be a brat and I find it funny. The show has a lot of potential, and so do the stars. I watched this show on a Saturday night (I'm handling some tough stuff in my life at the moment) and it helped me to cope because I felt like a kid again.

When it comes down to it, if you don't take this show too seriously and expect golden gold at every moment, it's a nice way to pass the time. Glad to see the show got picked up for more episodes.

If I could make any suggestions for the show, it would be to keep including the supporting characters (not just Charlotte, Piper,and Jasper) because it gives me a good "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" vibe, and also, please give Charlotte a last name, lol!

Love show, it's sad it end. Miss it. Watch all series
