Finally, Disney is coming up with more original ideas for their shows, and incorporating better actors. Well, the title is pretty cheesy, Sonny is the main character, so like all Disney shows, it has to be in the title. The reason that i gave this show an 8 is because it comes off as a little rushed. On the first episode Sonny's all "O.M.F.G i can't believe i'm here!!!" but then in the second episode she acts like she's been there for a couple years and got used to it all. But, discarding that, it's a great show, showing that Disney could be fully revived someday. With that said, this show show is a great addition to the franchise. I really hope they continue for a couple more years.
I do not want to see this show die on the Disney Channel. I think it's one of the few shows in a good while which could have a good influence on young people... also, it's pretty darn funny!
Recently I found myself in a state of dissolution with the Disney Channel. Whenever I find myself flipping to the channel all I see were increasingly younger and oversexed teens (and even preteens) on shows that feel like they are written by people with the same condition. I am extraordinarily happy that I happened to turn on the television during the shows premier.
I found "Sonny with a Chance" completely refreshing.
The sketch with-in-the-show was immediately funny with ironic camp and legitimate humor--bringing back the simple and funny physical comedy "tween" shows have been lacking these days without feeling forced or dissonant.
I was not surprised to find the producer of the show was also the producer of the sketch show "All That" which aired on Nickelodeon. As has been frequently said, "the best comedy comes from the truth." Thus this show isn't filled with over dramatic prepubescent boys and girls trying to attract the opposite sex with sexist or otherwise offensive pick-up lines. It's a simple comedy that does it's job exceptionally well and doesn't take itself too seriously.
Just as "All That" was an SNL for tweens (which as I recall I found much funnier than SNL at the time), I see "Sonney with a Chance" being the "30 Rock" for the tweens of today (though doubtfully will be better than "30 Rock" at any time.)
I believe all of the actors do still need to find their groove, but that's actually true of every show I've ever seen. At the time of writing this, three episodes have been released. I'd recommend watching at least the first two and hanging on to the show from there to see it improve from what I think is already a show more than "solid."
A note, I have mentioned this as a show for "Tweens" but I, myself, am rapidly approaching my 19th year.

Wow, i can't believe it. I thought that it will be the same Disney shows nowadays. But, the result is... a GREAT SHOW. Demi Lovato... She's Hilarious!, but... needs more realistic acting. She can be a little too hyper. Tiffany Thorton... I love her! Great acting that's what a funny character should be. Sterling Knight... Great! But, still just enough. Brandon Mychal Smith, Doug Brochu, their all just very fine, and Allison Ashley Arms... she is the weirdo kid that is fun to watch. Maybe, this is the best Disney show (by now). I hope that there will be loads of more fun in season 2 and more improvement. KEEP ON THE GOOD WORK!!!
The pilot was horrible. Period.
However, Disney has a problem with that...maybe that's why they show 2 episodes at once. So I hung in there for the next episode.
It was funny. And unpredictable- I honestly did not expect the Sterling Knight to be the type of character he was, nor did I expect the show to end like it did. Usually Disney gets all their conflicts resolved by the end of the show, but obviously SWAC is going to be different.
And honestly, it was a thousand times better than the most recent season of Hannah Montana.
Here's hoping for more improvement from Sonny With a Chance!

as like other Disney channel shows they're cheesy, pointless and so not funny with a stupid laughter track on every sentence...
Well yes this is like this but i actually think its OK.
demi lovato over acts quite a lot but you can put up with it after a while.
i love the little girl who sometimes appears in it. She's the best and is really funny.
i think its kinda cheesy but a really good storyline. the script is well thought out and funny.
i also love the brightly colored decorated set and props.
overall a 7/10.. its worth watching and after a while you do get attached to the show. not the best show but OK .. decent like the title lol
