I didn't quite get this show. I mean there were some nice elements, but there just wasn't enough juice to make it work. Max and Shred were fine, but their lives revolved around a house surrounded by snow, a yogurt place, and a high school hallway. Where was the excitement? The mother, father and older sister were useless, and the boys (main characters) didn't have anything to do. The actor who played Max seemed like a nice kid, the type you might like to have as a friend. I was surprised to learn that the actor who played Shred was only 12 years old; considering that he was pretty impressive. This show needed a villain and less time with the parents, especially the father. He was supposed to be funny, but he wasn't. Maybe they can refit it.
