Don't Just Sit There

this was one of the great shows from Nickelodeons past. It featured a house band, celebrity interviews, science experiments, segments were the cast takes things apart, even cooking segments. The idea of the show was all in the title, quite sitting in front of the TV and go do stuff. great show, nickelodeon should cut out all the stupid cartoons and start showing this show, "hey dude" "you can't do that on television" "out of control" "turkey tv" "todays special" and if they gotta show cartoon show good ones like "count duckula" "danger mouse" and "ren and stimpy". It would be in nickelodeons best interest to make a classics channel to show all this stuff that old kids like me would love.

I thought this was a very good show--during its first season. When original co-host BJ Schaffer left the show, it suddenly became repetitious and uninteresting. My scoring applies to the first season only. The other three co-hosts did not seem able to sustain the show through their sketches and had to bring the band members in as guests, but this did not work too well--they were very lacking in thespian talents. By season three, the death of this show was a mercy killing.

I used to watch this show when I was a little girl. There isn't much I remember about it, though. Although it was a short-lived series, if you ask me, it was a good show. I don't remember the opening sequence and theme song at all, though. However, everyone was ideally cast. Also, the writing was very strong. The performances were top-grade, too. I hope some network brings it back so I can see every episode. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that I'll always remember this show in my memory forever, even though I don't think I've seen every episode. Now, in conclusion, if some network ever brings it back, I hope that you catch it one day before it goes off the air for good.
