Talia in the Kitchen (2015)
Nickelodeon's best days are behind them
Just watched the premier of this show on YTV and just like all the other shows that air these days, this one was a huge disappointment.
The show starts off with a 14 year old girl named Talia moving to her grandmother's house for the summer where she discovers her favorite restaurant is closed and a rival restaurant opened up across the street (not the most exciting plot... a cook off between two restaurants) and she meets a blonde guy named Rudy along with your typical loud, dumb character named Valerie a red headed girl who already managed to annoy me in her first appearance. Others characters include two snobby teenagers who work at the rival restaurant across the street and blah blah blah... anyways so Talia is curious and visits her old restaurant and discovers her fathers secret spices which she will eventually use to revive the closed restaurant.
I witnessed absolutely no comedy or plot development in this episode.. apparently a guy falling down the stairs was the best the creators could come up with. Another thing I noticed was the music used to create suspense / drama in shows is over used way too much, I heard some corny music playing every 5 minutes...
The shows these days have absolutely zero entertainment value, writers are lazy, the actors say a bunch of simple lines with no emotion that any moron is capable of doing. Terrible show, last time Nickelodeon delivered something worth watching was a decade ago.
Bella and the Bulldogs (2015)
Just another lame Nickelodeon show
I am a big football fan so I thought I would enjoy this show but I was wrong.
The show revolves around a girl named Bella who was once a cheerleader but somehow managed to get starting quarterback on the football team, now this girl Bella being the main character is just like every other Nickelodeon show that stars a female, she is the perfect character, in the end always gets what she wants and this really annoys me, I am so tired of seeing the same thing over and over in all of these shows.
The other people on the show include the former QB named troy who I'll never understand how in the world he made the football team, no offense to the guy but he has the skinniest body I have ever seen... anyways he is now a wide receiver and is probably the second most adored on the football team.
Others characters include Sawyer who reminds me of a redneck because he talks like one. Then there is Newt who looks like a 8 year old kid, I have no idea why he's even on the team, I have yet to see the kid actually play a game. And of course to top it all of we have Bella's 2 best friends who are always there for her in case little miss perfect ever feels lonely.
This show was a pretty big disappointment and I'm getting tired of seeing these new shows about a girl joining a man's sport and then dominating everyone, I mean I understand that gender equality is important but this is ridiculous. This show is an exact rip off from Life with Boys a previous Nick show where a girl decides to join the wrestling team and faces a lot of backlash but eventually becomes the star.
In conclusion, Nickelodeon please create shows worth watching instead of just using the same god damn premise in all your shows.
Zoink'd (2012)
Worst show I've seen in existence
First of all let me start by saying I have seen a lot of bad TV shows on YTV in the past few years but this one takes the cake.
This show is just a complete rip off of just about every other audition show out there like American Idol, except the roles are reversed, the adults are the ones performing while kids judge them.
The biggest problem I have with this show is adults come to show their talents and believe me I have seen quite a few that actually had some amazing talents but guess what? A bunch of obnoxious, spoiled kids with no talent get to judge whether or not their talent is "zany" or not... I mean c'mon, why are the judges a bunch of kids who can't even do any of the talents that are shown but somehow get to judge them if they were good enough or not.
Another thing I hate about the show is awful jokes and the host is horrible, I can't believe he gets paid to make corny jokes. It baffles me why adults with real talent would go on this show to be judged by a bunch of kids, and not to mention the prize is only $1,000 which is paid in pennies (not sure if that is actually true but they claim it's in pennies) I mean why would people want to go on a show and be humiliated for a 1000 pennies?
This is without a doubt the worst show I have ever seen in my life, nothing on planet earth could beat this show...
Numb Chucks (2014)
Crappier version of Spongebob
I pretty much hate all the new shows on YTV and decided to give this show Numb Chucks a try and I was right, it sucks just like all the other shows on YTV these days.
The show revolves around these two brothers named Dilweed and Fungus who worship their idol Wood Chuck Morris and always do something stupid to ruin the day for their friends.
I just can't stand this show because of the stupid things these two idiots always do and get away with, for example they have a neighbor, a sheep named Buford who they always torture (Pretty much what happens in Spongebob with Spongebob and Patrick torturing Squidward). They also annoy their other neighbor a moose who just wants to relax and live his life but these two idiots just won't let anyone live peacefully. The thing I hate most about this show is no matter how much they torture others, nothing bad ever happens to these idiots in return.
