Lab Rats certainly had potential, or at least it sounded kind of cool at first glance, but it's terrible! I put it on for my little brother and we both agreed that if kids are entertained by this show, there must be a stupidity virus going around. The acting was awful, and for the most part the characters are cardboard cutouts of today's typical cell phone-toting, texting addict teens. No one is original in the show, no one has individuality. And come on, Bree? This inventor creates a superpowered human and names her Bree? That name was trendy around the time this show came out, but naming one of the characters Bree was pretty lame. The soundtrack to the show is horrible, unless you're into Hannah Montana-esque pop songs you'll hate listening to the music in this. The title made the show seem much more original than it really is.
It's really too bad that this type of garbage (I-Carly, Hannah Montana, etc.) is what kids are exposed to today. And Disney used to do some excellent kid's shows! I remember this 1990's paranormal show they did called So Weird that my sister and I loved when we were kids. I guess the only explanation for why today's shows are so moronic is that Generation Text is easily amused. Kids today can watch a video of an overweight woman falling down the stairs and find it funny. And they're being raised to be morons when they have potential to be really smart people. If you want to show your kids something more modern that still has originality, good acting and individual characters, try The Haunting Hour. It's a horror anthology series from the writer of Goosebumps, but it's more 21st century style and it's written to be appropriate for children.
