    The lesson at the end ab out how looks don't matter... sorry, I alreasy knew that years beforehand... certain lessons in TV Shows I do not mind, if they are handled well in the episode. This lesson however, is something most people either learn or are taught by their parents, and I did not think it was handled well in the episode. The overall episode was pretty weak and did not have much humor, I do not think so at least, so my grade for this episode is a 3.0, which is a low "D", maybe even an F. Sorry if you disagreemoreless
  • zits and glasses...

    "Bad"
    Lilly has to wear goofy glasses for a skateboarding competetion and Miley says it's ok. However, when a billboard of Hannah shows up with a huge zit, Hannah does everything she can to get rid of it. I really didn't like the story in this episode. It seemed unoriginal, like most Hannah Montana episodes. Even the name was copied from a song: "you're so vein, you probably think this song is about you" are the original lyrics. In the end, of course, we learn a moral. Overall, boring, unoriginal, stupid episode. I really don't like this episode because of the poor story.moreless

    So this episode deals with Lilly and her new glasses. Lilly's dog ate her contacts, and her new contacts won't come in for two more weeks. Her back up glasses are pretty dorky. So since Lilly has to see Miley's bill board for magic glow skin cream, Miley tries to explain to her that looks don't matter. But when Miley's bill board for magic glow skin cream includes a picture of Hannah Montana with a tomato sized zit on her face, Miley doesn't follow her own advice as to looks not mattering. This episode wasn't that good, but I still enjoyed it. I would say it is not my favourite or my least favorite. It's just in the middle.moreless
  • I love this episode =D

    This is such a great episode! Lily looks so geeky in her glasses but its really funny, and they actually didn't look that bad! lol. Its funny at the begining when Miley is like "High Five!" and Lily hits Miley's face because she can't see. lol. Oliveri s also funny when he is like "I'm a lobsided freak!" and then goes "Stop staring at me, I am not an animal!" lol, he is so funny!

    I really like Liza in this episode, she is really funny. I wonder why she isn't in seasn 2. Oh well. Probably cos she is in Cory in the house.

    Anyway, I love the but when Robby-Ray plays the bongo drums and Lily and Miley dance to it, its amusing to watch. Overall this is such a great episode and a series classic and exactly why I watch it!moreless
  • Don't let zits and dorky glasses stop you!

    This is a great example of teen life and worrying about looks. A lot of girls this age find something about the way they look that they don't like. Lilly has to wear glasses to a skate park, and she feels like a dork in them. Lilly feels the same way when she sees a big zit painted on a Hannah Montana billboard. Both girls learn that it's not looks that should matter, It's what's on the inside that really counts. If you let the way you look stop you from having fun and living a life, you'll regret it.moreless
