• What do you think of Spinnelli/Tj becomming an item?

  That one episode when they were forced to kiss? I thought after that they were gonna become an item. I mean, Spinnelli so looks like the girl that would hide feelings for Tj.

  5 Mediocre

  I don't get this show. hide « show »

  I don't pretty much love or like this show.In fact,I don't get the plot.Some of the kids look ugly,including that dude with the big head and a flat top.The dude with the white shirt and the yellow hair kind of reminds me of Owen from Total Drama Island now.It's a pretty old show and one of the episodes of this show pretty much reminds of an episode of My Gym Partner's A Monkey.This show kind of reminds me of that show now.The movie?Well,I've seen some of the parts of that movie and ending summer vacation is a terrible thing to do.

  I like recess. hide « show »

  When I was little, I remember watching Recess quite a bit. It was a really good animated show and it was never boring. I thought that each episode was entertaining and I liked the stories in each show. I thought that the characters were really good together and seemed to have really good chemistry. In fact, they were so different from one another, yet seemed to be made to be friends. I never had a favorite character because I didn't get attached to them so much. I just liked the gimmick of the show and how it related to my life when I was young. Thank you.

  9.5 Superb

  Recess was another terrific classic. hide « show »

  I have heard of this show and when i was really young i remember seeing a few epsiodes, but i also watched Recess again recently since my dad knew i liked the show and taped them for me! Recess in my opinion is a very successful show, it helps kids learn about school! It shows how teachers and the principal hanles his job too! one of the main settings for this show is TJ Detweiler is a fun kid that likes to do a lot of entertainment in his school, he also has 5 other friends! The most recent one he makes is Gus Griswald, a student who has moved many times and has seen a lot of different schools since his dad is in the military. As for TJ's other cool pal there is Gretchen, a smart gal who is interested in the sciences, Spinelli, a tough girl who can alos be nice but she makes sure she outpowers other kids so she can come out on top! Mikey, a bigkid but one who is very gentle and kind and is a peace lover! And finally, one of TJ's closest friends, a fellow african-american who i forget the name. But still, this is a wonderful show as i always enjoy seeing TJ and his pals come across something they can manage, i loved to see some of the episodes! one thing that shocked me though was that this show was canceled all the way back in 2001! Well that sums everything up so this will be my last snetence: This show is one of the best classics, and i love the movie that came out for it when a crazed evil genius tries to destroy summer, but i also enjoyed to watch the great episodes where the teachers try to look out for trouble!

  4 Poor

  I don't know why I watched it. hide « show »

  I remember watching this every Saturday morning and at the same time I remember not really liking it. I honestly don't know why I watched it.
  
  The characters were ok but they were just too weird. The episodes got so old so fast. It was also way too intense. Strange things that would never happen happened and the sheer unfairness to the kids and the aggravating situations they got in got on my nerves.
  
  There was one episode that I liked. It was the one where the one girl was quiet and removed from all the other characters the whole episode. The whole time she was drawing with chalk on the playground pavement and at the end they show the picture. The way the episode led up to the drawing and showed it was very dramatic and well executed and it was the one gem in this series.
  
  Overall I felt the series was below average though it had some entertainment value. It gets a solid 4.

  One of my favorite childhood shows hide « show »

  When I was a kid, well I guess I still am, but much younger, Recess was one of my favorite shows. I recently rediscovered my intrest for it, and my mom likes it too. :P My favorite was always Spinelli, because I am a lot like her, much to my mother's dismay, who tends to be a bit like Ashley A. Actually, I have come to find that I dislike people named Ashley with a strong passion. There's this girl at my school named that, who I find extremely annoying, not to mention Miss "I'm So Vain" Ashley Tisdale! *GAG* My former 6th grade reading teacher looks and acts like Miss Finster. She tried to make me her Randall and I refused, so she picked on me and two of my best friends for the rest of the year. I remember when I was a little kid and I always said how I wished I was older like the kids on Recess. Well, I'm almost 5 years older than them now. :P Gee, most of them don't look or act like 4th graders. They should've made them older.
