Wendell and Vinnie

far to be a bad series, it is package for a good idea. the result is not really impressive because, like many other series, it has as basic purpose the easy entertainment. so, the situations and the dialogs are not examples of inspiration. for Jerry Trainor is only new clothes for an old role.Buddy Handleson does a good job but the script is not always the best help for his character. the humor is in too many situations fake and the sin could be only to ignore the story possibilities. but it is only a series. nice, comfortable, junk food for leisure. and that fact is enough. in a way. because the comedy has its fans. always.

I think this comedy is very good. Usually Nickelodeon shows have dried out humor or terrible jokes; like Marvin Marvin... But this one is very great and an addictive show. I hope it doesn't get canceled an keeps going. It's a very interesting comedy and very awesome. I look on my TV guide to see when the next episode is,it's so cool. But like I said, This is such a great show, not like those shows that are such a stinker. I don't like to talk about other shows while reviewing one, but just to give an example: New shows like Marvin Marvin have pretty bad jokes, and not much humor, also, Studio 10 is such a waste of time I can't believe that show interrupts SpongeBob. Sorry to criticize other shows on this review but... I just had to give examples.

This show actually displays some really hilarious material as opposed to most of the retarded shows on the network. Hoping all the other shows can learn a thing or two. It's a little mature for kids of around 9 but at the same time I don't really think that their target audience, possibly the reason it's shown too late. Perhaps the only show on Nick that could survive on a major network and am talking about ABC (not the Nick isn't a major network, but networks that attract mature audiences). Would probably get canned after 2 seasons but it would keep people from throwing up. Currently the ONLY funny show on Nick (note the word "only" in caps).

I'm not entirely sure if it was originally supposed to be for younger viewers because some of its content and language seems to be geared more towards people aged 17 and older - I even forgot I was watching a Nickelodeon show. Describing it in relation to other shows or movies, Wendell and Vinnie is similar to Melissa & Joey and Raising Helen in that the deemed single, irresponsible/Peter-Pan-like family member gains custody of his/her sibling's child(ren) for a tragic reason. It's a television show that not only can make you laugh, but also has its touching moments.

It is not your nowadays average Nickelodeon show, shows like iCarly or Victorious. Don't get me wrong, I respect Dan Schneider's work, but sometimes, iCarly and Victorious just seemed like they were trying too hard to be funny. Oftentimes, it was awkward to watch because of how hard they were trying. Here, Wendell and Vinnie and the people in their lives are more real and less in-your-face with the humor - it's subtle - just like most of us in reality would be. It's not awkward because the characters - and by extension, the writers of the show - know when to stop or when they're about to risk crossing a line.

All in all, it's a great show. If Nickelodeon DOES decide the show is too much for them, they should at least consider moving it to another network rather than cancelling it.

Since I was a child, I have always enjoyed Nickelodeon. But after Drake and Josh ended, I have always preferred Disney Channel. However, this show gave me a reason to tune in to my childhood channel. I thought this show was really funny and its a shame its now cancelled. People believe this may have been due to its humour content which apparently inappropriate to kids. I must agree as it does contain some adult jokes. However, I believe the show was still not worthy of cancelling due to this reason. Can't have nickelodeon just sold the show to a different channel like Comedy Central? I mean its such a shame! This show could have been a big hit like The inbetweeners(UK) or Two and a Half Men. :/
