    10/10 for sure a great show!

    I saw the first 2 episodes when it first came out in 2012 and loved the show instantly but I never really watched it after that. I remembered and thought about the show again this year and decided to binge watch the whole show and it's super amazing just like I remember. I love every single character. The music is bomb. I still jam to it all the time. Cymphonique deserves a lot more! She is a talented beauty indeed.

    Waist of time

    I am a 30 year old entrepreneur who was browsing though the rubbish that our youth waists there time with today. One of those shows was how to rock. I viewed a few episodes on my Christmas holiday and I have come up with a respectful conclusion. This show sucks. It features a thug based girl named Casey or something like that and her adventures of writing music that sounds like a demon shouting in your ear. It is utterly horrible. Also it's all about trying her trying to beat some lady named Molly in all of the stupid antics that they do. Also I have noticed that all of the characters are poorly scripted and everyone refers to them as "nerds". For once I agree. It is also very stereotypical towards blonde women, referring to them as "mentally slow" I think that blonde women are very smart indeed. In conclusion do not view this television program because it is a waist of time and cable bill. Also do not watch this show if you don't want to be referred as a " common dandy"

    YES!

    One of my favorite shows ever! Really nostalgic & such good music!

    Terrible, terrible show. One of the worst Nick sitcoms.

    Another crappy and unfunny Nickelodeon sitcom like Fred: The Show, Bucket & Skinner, Marvin, Marvin and many others. Dear God...This show is beyond horrible.

    The only reason this show was made was sell itunes music singles and CDs to cash in on the music/singing show era of Nick and Disney. This show came too late when that era started to die out. I also felt like this show was trying to the next Victorious and it failed miserably.

    The lead actress can't act and her character is annoying and unlikable and only has guest appearances and a starring role show on Nickelodeon because a few years earlier her older brother Lil Romeo had his own Nickelodeon show "The Romeo Show" which was god awful too. Nepotism much? Neither have acting or singing talent.

    The rest of the characters suck too. We got the bitchy mean girl and her idiot blonde sidekick, the bland pretty boy/love interest, the sensible tomboy, the two comic reliefs one a goofy looking white kid and a token black guy. Neither are funny, just cringe-worthy.

    Every episode was the same and repetitive. Molly and Kacey continue rivaling each other, Kacey becomes selfish and self centered in some way, her friends get mad at her, she apologizes and then Kacey learns her lesson in the end and they friends again. Yawn....

    Overall, it's unfunny, terrible acting, cheap sets, lame plots ( a whole episode about fighting over a lunch table spot, seriously?), the songs suck, its boring and just generic and cliché. Glad this garbage got canceled after one season. Good riddance!

    WHY DO THEY CANCEL GREAT SHOWS?!?!!!!

    This was one of the greatest shows, nickelodeon ever made!!!. It still one of my favorite shows. Kevin (Chris O'Neal) and nelson (Noah Crawford) are still my most favorite characters. Seriously, I would hang out with Kevin and nelson and have fun with them almost every day!!!. Also,. Still wish I can have a CD of the gang's music. Was hopin' that the series would last for like more then 4 or 5 seasons! Because that's good it was to me. I love to see a family reunion of the whole gang. Because they know "how to rock" and "hold it down".
