Review of Clubhouse

Clubhouse (2004–2005)
Show had possibilities but..........it just didn't happen.

I watched the pilot and thought it was an OK show, a little far fetched but this is just the pilot. Now the show has been on for a few weeks and I'm just not that impressed. This show does not belong in prime time. I think it would fit better on TGIF or Saturday morning. Actually the TV Guide Channel even labels the show as a kids show. Sure it's nice to watch a show that isn't about sex, drugs or who can eat the most worms but come on a kids show in prime time? Even Seventh Heaven has better plots that this. I saw the movie "Peter Pan" with Jeremy Sumpter and enjoyed the movie minus his so so acting skills. I'd have figured that since it had been a year since Peter Pan he'd have gotten his acting skills fine tuned, but he didn't. The lisp is OK for some scenes but during real dramatic scenes it's hard to concentrate on the scene with Sumpter talking. When he speaks he just doesn't get the emotion in his voice. When he moves, or stands he looks like a kid that is posing for the camera and looks unnatural. It's like watching a great bunch of actors who are very believable and then Sumpter enters and it's like he's all by himself acting alone. All and All 4/10. I don't think this show is going to make it. Sorry
