more teen nick...

true jackson, v.p.--the totally realistic story (kidding) of a 15-year-old fashion designer. she is not only hired by the eccentric owner (and main designer) of "mad style", he makes her a vice president.

he also lets her hire her ditzy bff lulu are her personal assistant. then their other friend (goofy) ryan just hangs around true's spacious office all day.

supposedly, these kids still attend school while true copes with the other wacky people around the office. there's frosty fellow v.p. amanda and her parade of assistant. there's the receptionist (office manager?) oscar who takes care of everyone. then there's jimmy, the dreamy guy from the mailroom, true's crush object.

again, this show has enough adults on it to provide some variety. you'll recgonize some of them. also, lulu is a somewhat whimisical character making her a little different from the typical goofy bff.

big time rush--this is the most like a disney show. it's the story of four former "hockey players" from minnesota who form a boy band.
they're having their career/image molded by a famous producer. he's pretty funny.

otherwise, this show is sort of boring. and the mercenary little sister is tiresome.

are you too old for teen nick?

over the past months, i've discovered teen nick has sitcoms and they are way better than disney's. but, some people may be concerned they are too old. shampoo will reveal her great knowledge.

icarley--named after an internet show carley does with her friends sam(antha) and freddy. typical sitcom stuff + typical internet comedy stuff (that's suitable for younger folks) = icarley. if you find any of that funny, you'll find icarley funny.

ned's declassified--named for a tip guide to surviving middle school being compiled by ned, cookie (boy), and mose (girl). they attend james k. polk middle school (in case some kid reads this: he was potus) which is staffed by refugees from 80s-90s sitcoms. it features 15-minute storylines which is a pretty good idea.

although this show is mostly silly, there are some things that accurately reflect middle school. one nerdy girl with chronic nasal congestion goes to an allergist and gets a makeover. so, cookie has the surprise of the girl who always liked him suddenly being sought after by plenty of other guys (who probably thinks she's new). she still likes him, she's just got a lot less time.

then, there's degrassi which is not a comedy. but, that doesn't mean you can't watch it like one. OH DA DRAMA!! it's from canada and I have one thing to say about that: these kids are fucking whiners who would've been beaten senseless by the fucking facility (let alone the students) of any u.s. school ever. if I hear one more whiner getting to make up YET ANOTHER grade I am going to blog some more about it, I swear. also, please degrassi actors all drunks try to act straight not drunker. duh. why not just go show the vodka to your teacher? geez. (i'm not going to front: shampoo never drank in school. shampoo was a good little girl... boring, but I didn't have to make up every fucking grade! not that anyone would've let me, duh.)
