Taina

This show takes the biscuit for the worst, unbelievable unfunny tragic programme of the history of the earth.

Maritza looks like a smaller version of Lesley Ash (lips, obviously, has a bee stung them or is it surgical? Hmm!) and I'm pretty sure if anyone went around calling people a dog they'd find themselves in hospital quick enough.

The fact is, if Taina is supposed to be all streetwise and sassy why the hell does Maritza walk over her? She's a total weed who needs a dose of bad medicine!

Her family are henious! I mean, it feels as though her parents are total weeds too.

Renee needs to learn when to shut up, and Dan and Lamar are freakshows.

All in all, a monstrous piece of tack which I'm glad to say has been axed.

I just watched the Pilot(I taped it) and it seems like it will be a pretty good Nick show. Christina Vidal plays the lead role as Taina(duh). She is a freshman in a Performing Arts Highschool in NYC(woo baby!!). She daydreams and has a very very strong desire to become famous(as do I in some respects). Being that I only have one episode to go on this is all I can give you. Christina has a very good singing voice as shown in the series(we'll get to hear more of it). The show will basically give you Taina's journey through life ,Highschool and her quest for fame. I can't really comment much on the other characters but I did notice Karen Fraction from My Brother and Me as the ballet instructor. I'll hijack Ebert and give it a thumb up.

***a little sidenote** Christina Vidal has lived Taina's life to an extent being that she is also a NYer(woo !!) and she also went to a performing arts highschool. I hope people can latch themselves onto this series because it is very good.

When I first saw this show I thought it was cool, but now it sucks. All it is is about love or some other junk. And the characters Daniel McDaniel, Lamar, and Maritza are so stupid. I give this show Four Thumbs Down. Don't watch it, it's a waste of time.

I first saw the show around episode 3 or 4, I think, and the line that had me hooked was when Renee said,"Maritza, shouldn't you slither away some where and eat your young?" [Something like that] This show is hillarious, and what makes me laugh so much more is that the show moved production to CA for their second season and I got to be an extra. They are just as funny on set as they are on the show. In some respects even more funnier. Even though I am barely legal, this show is great for all ages. I know it's cheasy but it truely is family programming, and that's one thing that Nickelodeon has always done. Thank You.

I thought that Taina was a good show, but not great, and my favorite character of the whole show believe it or not is Maritza, I love it when she wears leather pants and I actually had a crush on her despite that she can be obnoxious, Daniel and Lamar are the ones I could do without and I actually also like Renee 'Nee' cause she is a wisecracker, overall this show doesn't deserve any bad reviews and it deserves to be on television more often too, it's way better than the cartoons that they show on Nickelodeon except Doug, and Rugrats (the pre Dil episodes).

Overall if you love teenage sitcoms, then you'll like Taina cause it is a clean laid back show and my little sister actually uses to watch this show and it deserves to be on everyday.
