Say What You Will...

...but the shows "Hannah Montana", "Drake and Josh", and "iCarly" are pretty fun to watch! Most of the time I think the tween shows are insulting to the intelligence of everyone, including tweens. However, because I am home at odd times throughout the day, sometimes the only channels that are mildly tolerable are those that are kid-friendly. So, lately I have been catching episodes of the three shows mentioned above. While I will still criticize them for the amount of dangerous rule breaking and how they make teachers look like utter imbiciles, I must admit that not only are the shows pretty cute, but many of the young actors have excellent comic timing. I am particularly impressed with the kid who plays Miley's brother, Jackson, on "Hannah Montana", the guy who plays Josh on "Drake and Josh" and the girl who plays Carley on "iCarly' (who, incidentely, plays the very different character of Megan on "Drake and Josh"). All the shows feature some over-the-top broad humor, but I don't mind when it is few and far between. Overall, they're entertaining. In fact, even Cliff has been known to laugh out loud when Jackson is on screen and is bantering with Billy Ray Cyrus. And, on top of all that, the older brother on "iCarly" is prety cute!
