Personally, I hate Disney Channel with a passion. They release shows that range from okay (Jessie), to unbearable. (Austin and Ally). But the absolute WORST of them all in my opinion, is Shake It Up. Two girls named Rocky and CeCe dance in a show called Shake It Up Chicago, while dealing with their daily lives. However, they focus more on high school, girl, and boy problems rather than the actual plot. This is also a problem with iCarly, Wizzards of Waverly Place, etc. Which is a shame because I kind of liked the dancing segments. Another flaw in the show is it's humor. They aren't funny, or even witty. Because the characters try to hard to deliver a funny line. For example, CeCe is very over-dramatic, to the point where it's very annoying. The characters by the way, are the most annoying, irritating, and unbearable people I have ever seen. Rocky tries WAY too hard to be a cute character, and it makes her very annoying. Like I said, CeCe is over-dramatic, and annoying. She is also very rude and disrespectful. Which is why I hate her so much. Her little brother Flynn is as bratty as Bowser Jr from the Mario games, only worse. And he, again, is not funny, or even likable. Ty, Rocky's brother, is an exception. He's actually likable, and is a talented dancer. Gunther and Tinka are German exchange students, but also suck ups, and their voices feel kind of racist to me. I think they are the most annoying of the show. ESPECIALLY Gunther. And finally, there is Duece. Who I just don't care about. He's a guy who has a collection of stuff. That's it. The last thing that bugs me about this show is the message. I know it's teaching us about friendship, but it feels like it's always be rude and selfish, and you will get what you want. WHAT KIND OF Message IS THAT!? In short, this is the biggest piece of garbage I have ever seen. The only redeeming quality it has, is it's dancing is pretty good. And I like it's message it's TRYING to deliver. Not what it accidentally gave.

Ah Chowder. Pretty nostalgic for me as a kid. I used to love this show. But looking back at it, It's not as great as I thought it was. Chowder is about a kid named Chowder (Nicky Jones), a chef apprentice to Mung Dall (Dwight Shlutz). By the way, what the hell is a Mung? Anyway, Mung owns a catering business with his wife Truffles (Tara Strong) and Shnitzel (John Di Maggio). Who is arguably the most memorable character in the show because he only says one word, Radda. By the way, they have crazy adventures too. ORIGINALITY!! So yeah, mediocre story here. Not much here. The animation isn't that great either. Sure, it's better than other crappy shows like Problem Solverz, but still only okay at best. And they occasionally do random kinds of animation as well. CGI, claymation, etc. And while they are pretty good, it doesn't really work well considering the jokes are the average, "act like a complete moron" kind of humor. Which is another fatal flaw. Chowder, our main protagonist, IS VERY ANNOYING. Mainly because of how stupid he acts. And his voice doesn't help at all. Mung is pretty mediocre. You don't really get to know him too much. So he's pretty ignorable. Truffles can get annoying, but I found her voice pretty funny for some odd reason. I already explained Shnizel. And the only other character left is Gazpacho. He's the comedy relief. because of how nervous he always is. But he's not really that funny. So so far, it sounds like I don't like the show. But there are good qualities to it. Like the humor can sometimes be funny, and the characters, despite being okay, are very memorable. And some episodes can have a decent message. Other than that, it's very flawed, but not a bad show.
