Bizaardvark

... this is also silly humor (and actually less stupid than Gilligan's Island!). Bizaardvark isn't Shakespeare. It IS really nice as a fun, goofy show to take our minds off things. Also, it's pretty positive.

A lot of good Disney and Nickelodeon Channels shows have been cancelled before they had an "as good or better" replacement ready. Bizaardvark is one of very few shows that I have been happy to see come along, and not just watch because they have nothing better on.

My daughter really likes this show. It is funny. The songs are clever. I have never seen iCarly so I don't care if it is a ripoff. We need fun, lighthearted shows that don't center around teenage dating angst and instead focus on smart creative girls and kids who support each other.

This is just a horrible ripoff of iCarly and has disgusting "viral videos". I can't believe it has a 6.5 rating. Don't watch it. Please don't watch it. The jokes aren't funny and Disney isn't taking a step forward with this..........they're falling down flights of steps with it. It's so pathetic, it is Bizarre. Even the theme song is just so bland and stupid. Back to the jokes for a second.......They repeat them over and over! Like this. "Hey guys" *bump into each other*. *bump into each other again and again.* The Blobfish song?? THAT ISN'T FUNNY. We don't care if you have a crush on a blobfish. It is exactly like that trash show "School of Rock" or "iCarly" on Nickelodeon. NOT FUNNY. It already has lots of rants on YouTube from like 8 YEAR OLDS. That's Disney's targeted audience. Remember good Disney Channel live-action shows like Wizards of Waverly Place, Suite Life of Zack and Cody, Lizzie McGuire, That's So Raven, Phil of the Future, Life with Derek, Even Stevens...and now we have a show about making unfunny popular music videos on YouTube..I'm out

In iCarly's season 2, episode 21, Carly and Sam learns that a network called Dingo Channel is running a show called "Totally Ten" that steals ideas from iCarly. For instance, they have "Random Jumping" instead of "Random Dancing", etc. Just change the name of Dingo to Disney and "Totally Ten" to "Bizaardvark" and voila, you have another Disney "original" series. After watching two episodes (and I will watch no more), I can only say one thing: please, don't recommend this show to the kids, the eighth amendment does not permit to inflict such a cruel and unusual punishment. By the way, in that iCarly episode I mentioned, all the plagiarism finishes when Freddy and Spencer threatens to show the frozen head of Dingo's founder in the web. Well, that's curious, because a well known urban legend says that Walt Disney's body is cryogenically frozen somewhere. Maybe somebody should take old Walt from wherever he is and prevent this show from being renewed for a second season.

The first season of this show is so bad, I honestly don't know how it got renewed. But if you stick with it, it actually gets better every season.

I only watched because it stars Olivia Rodrigo before she became one of the world's biggest pop stars. Obviously, Disney launched her career and this was the starting point. The show focuses around Olivia's character Paige and Madison Hu's character Frankie who are besties that make videos together and get enough attention to get to work with the big video production company known as Vuugle. While working on their videos they form friendships with people with other channels. The first two seasons of the show feature the now infamous YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul.

Like I said, season one is a complete mess. I can count on one hand the number of times I so much as smiled at the dialog. I almost stopped. But being an Olivia fan, I trudged on and I'm glad I did. I don't know if they changed writers or showrunners or what, but about a quarter of the way through season 2, something changed and some of the shows were actually funny. By season 3, most of the shows were funny and the finale was quite good. Overall, I give the series a 6 out of 10, but if season 1 didn't exist, it would be higher. Season 1 is 3/10, season 2 is 7/10 and season 3 is 8/10.
