Shake It Up

Yea this show is just... really... bad. The cast is just plain awful. David Cleveland although he might just be an amateur is just intolerably annoying. And baaaaaad... I've met and babysat a lot of kids and I don't think any kid would act like that, which may be for comedic purposes... it's not... there's like no passion to his acting, it's like watching a elementary school play. Actually the whole show feels like that. In fact the only thing saving this review from a 1/10 is Bella Thorne who actually isn't that bad. Or maybe she's lucky she's really cute. Either way I actually liked that kid's performance and was the only reason I didn't hit that channel button. Her friend however... really irritating. Sorry to say. Of course this just judging from two episodes and frankly... I don't think I want to see anymore...

This show is the worst show I have seen come out of Disney, wait, I have a correction, it is tied with A.N.T Farm.

I have only seen a couple episodes while babysitting a 6-year-old, and to put it frankly, I cannot see how she finds it a good show. I would rather her out Hannah Montana on than this thing they call a TV show,

So this show stars two 13 year girls. (Don't ask me their names because I couldn't tell you.) They are dancers on a show called Shake it Up Chicago. But the thing is, it is not really dancing. It is shaking their 13-year-old booties on a stage in clothes acceptable for...... a nothing really. When they are not on this show with no purpose, they are out trying to achieve their current egotistical goals that involves benefit for them. Meanwhile, there is a 6 year-old boy who never seems to be under the watchful eye of anyone. In reality, this show is meant to make a 6-year-old to shut up for 30 minutes.

I watch this show with my little sisters, but it's the worse show Disney has produced yet. I like Wizards of Waverly places, but this show is just BAD in general. The jokes aren't funny, the story line is a bore, it consists of bad overacting and terrible dancing. The girls dance incredibly sloppily and the only character who can really dance is Roshon Fegan. During each episode, I feel like what they define as "acting" are just their lines said screaming. The only positive things I have to say about this show is that I like the theme song, the boys are cute, and the two main characters are gorgeous; that's probably the only reason Disney picked them in the first place--after all, they can't dance, and they definitely can't act.

The show like all DCOS has a simple premise but with a twist in this case the main characters: "CeCe" (Thorne) and "Rocky" (Zendaya) are dancers on the most popular dance/music TV program in Chicago (a la Hairpray), CeCe lives With her little brother Flynn (Davis Cleveland) and her single Mom, Georgia (their house seems to be so far the the main set of the show, even though the show is promoted as a "buddy show", but it seems that Thorne is the main character and not Zendaya) then we have Gunther and Tinka (who are stereotypical European foreign exchange students with fake accents) the main characters fr-enemies. So far the show's been average but in my opinion it has potential but the main problem with the show is that the two leads are not most appealing persons, then there's Gunter who displays flamboyancy at its peak yet it is covered up by the fact he's foreign, i don't understand how Kenton duty came to be be this character he's the only one of all the cast i have seen before, in a movie called MY NAME IS KHAN where he did a a great tear dropping performance yet, apparently sell-ed his soul to Disney to become this unfunny idiotic character, NOW what i like the most about it's the fantastic performance of youngster Davis Cleveland, he's the funny and smart of the show, and then there's Adam Irigoyen who does great too as a dorky cool street smart character and the most realistic of all

I must admit that I am a Disney addict and completely love the early work and happily enjoy the live-action new Disney. Shake It Up is a great show for when you want to relax and turn off your brain for 30mins. It's not groundbreaking TV but it does have some great dance & music numbers and an adorable cast (Bella Thorne & Zendaya are fast becoming young style queens).

It can be luck of the draw as some episodes are pretty good, others not so much but I find it is a lot better than some of the other tween shows out there. So if you enjoy reverting back to your childhood every now and then or alternatively are a child then give it a shot. It's really not as bad as you might think.
