Richie Rich

When I found out Jenna Ortega was in this show I had to watch it, after all I loved Stuck in the Middle and Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous. So I gave it a chance. Episode one broke me with the sexisim, objectification of a woman in a maid outfit by a child... I and then Jenna's character basically being a gold digger and the hapless dad... 5 episodes in and I couldn't take any more. Poorly shot, horribly written, toung in cheek acting, it was a disaster and not something I'd recommend for children at all!

This show is a complete abomination. Other than Richie Rich, the other characters are completely one-dimensional and stereotypical:

* Richie's jealous sister who most of the time is used only for a punchline * Richie's accountant given the stereotypical dress (glasses, suspenders, etc.) and has no range of emotion other than "Hey look at me I do nerd stuff!" * A teen girl who overspends and, most of time, is characterized only by her obsession with consumerism. Although she is allowed some character development.

But the most egregious character is the father: stupid does not begin to describe him. He has the maturity of a six month old, never got past the third grade, and is just there to be the big clown. Did all of the writers hate men or their parents?

The jokes are lame and don't even deserve the obvious and overused canned laugh track. Laugh tracks should just be banned from sitcoms.

I feel bad for all the young actors in this show, they deserved better than having deal with this drivel.

Avoid this show.

Richie Rich is a lovable character, but it's his family that's the problem. His father is basically a couch potato with no job or aspects. The sister should be grateful they're all living in a big mansion, but all Harper does is complain. Not exactly the way a supportive sibling should behave.

I got as far as episode 5 before realizing the family never leaves the house. Richie and his friends never set foot in school. They could've built a classroom set on the same stage, but they didn't.

The worst plot is Richie converting his vegetables into energy. I mean come on that's pathetic.

I really don't know what to say about this series. I don't even know if I can say anything pretty good about him.

Sitcom style is kind of out of date, and instead of taking that genre and creating something different and smart, they just used boring, predictable jokes.

The characters have monotonous profiles. A geeky kid, a fat dad, the blonde... The atmosphere of the series is bad to watch. I don't know how to explain it, but there's something about it that makes you don't want to watch it. The laughs in the background are short and with strange voices.

The only good thing I can say about this show is that it "entertains" younger kids.

Literally the worst show I've ever seen. Horribly corny, Horribly bad acting, Horrible characters. The dialog actually sounds like the child actors wrote it. It amazes me that this show was ever green-lit. Also, As one reviewer pointed out, the show is actually borderline offensive. There are so many offensive stereotypes. I can put up with a lot of kids shows but this one is torture. Now to formulate a plan to convince my niece to watch something else... On a side note; What is up with the random little girl whose only purpose is to spend the kids money? And the creepily sexualized robot maid? Also, How does the father even feed himself. He should be placed in a home for the mentally challenged.
