Erin & Aaron

Combines the set layout of Henry Danger with the Joke-VomitOfLaughter-Joke-VomitOfLaughter style of Two & a Half Men with exceedingly crass parents and with an irritatingly mean little girl in the likes of Drake & Josh and Henry Danger but without any of the charm or appeal of Megan and Piper. Determinedly watched all episodes and succeeded (taking several days in-between to recover). The presentation either calmed down a little by the seventh episode of I simply acclimated to it. Typically vapid modern-day adolescent pop music. (Loved only the hard rock guitar song about an astronaut dog by a competitor in episode 13 - sounded really good). Blame everything on the script, kept deliberately dumb but given high octane fuel. Cast seems all right (replaceable but competent). Highly unrealistic. Filled with lame ideas ('cause all the good ones have been taken?). Too much of an unrelenting formula pounded repeatedly into the public.

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.

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.

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.
