  • Funny and not just for kids!

    4.0
    While I have to admit that not every episode is a "home run," the vast majority are entertaining. Disney XD is supposed to be targeting boys 6-14. However, the writers will frequently sneak in one or two funny bits that the kids won't get but their parents will laugh at. The "Kung Fu Cop" episode was full of references to the 70's that I'm sure floated right above some younger viewers. That episode was hilarious! The karate stuff is the best you'll find on television (broadcast or cable). There's chemistry between the characters and they seem to fit well together in the plot. The writing is good. However, even the kids will pick up some of the patterns that have developed. You can be a bad guy or make a mistake as long as you were there when you were needed or you did the right thing at the end, etc. I also didn't understand the purpose behind the confrontation between the characters Jack and Milton on the beach including Jack physically threatening to do something with Milton's monocle. SOOO out of character. I'd also suggest that the writers keep track of events. Rudy mentions in the episode where he is inducted into the Seaford High Hall of Fame that he signed his first baby. However, he tells us that he autographed his first baby in the episode where he confronts the wrestler. Even the younger kids watching the show can pick up on that inconsistency. The show is full of talented young actors in funny situations. Keep up the good work. . Give Jerry a few more IQ points. Mateo is good but being that stupid gets old.



    Update: I was sorry to see that in addition to Jerry not being very smart, we see he's not very loyal either. In the episode where Jack and Jerry get jobs at the shoe store, they agree that they'll only work there if both are hired. We see Jack stick to the agreement and the result is Jerry is hired as well. However, when the manager fires Jack and promotes Jerry, he simply celebrates his promotion. Later, he explains how he stayed because "for once I got something you Jack summed up Jerry by saying "you're He really summed it up correctly. Jerry is dumb enough to allow the robbers in to the store for the dumbest reason but some how was smart enough to figure out the manager was behind the thief. The show has lots of talented actors in desperate need of better scripts. I know that the show is supposed to be geared towards younger viewers but even eight year olds aren't that stupid. I've noticed lately that Disney XD press releases regarding ratings haven't mentioned this show. While the announcement about the 2nd season renewal was announced early in September last year, there has been no announcement about a 3rd season.



    Update April 2013. I was hoping that the characters would develop and evolve in Season 3. Not going to happen. We actually have Jack "sharing" deodorant with Jerry by rubbing their armpits together. Really Jack, really?!? And let's have him fight a little baby to show him "there are And let's have him LOSE! I think it's time to find some new writers. The target audience is young, not stupid. I'm guessing that someone decided that season 3 will be the last and we're not really worried about quality story lines. I would think we could come up with better stories. The cast is talented. Let's give them some decent scripts.moreless
  • It's not bad but...

    5.5
    The chracters are too annoying and try too hard at being funny.The episodes used to be epic and I adored it until after the episode Road to wassabi it got kinda old and boring so now they keep using same stories and plots over and over again and it's sorta getting old now.The only thing I like about the show is that it's different to what people have been coming up with lately.lately everyone has been making shows that are all about people being famous and they have a stupid sidekick and 2 or 3 other people supporting them but this doesn't have that cuz it focuses on karate which was mainly the reason I watched it.this show needs better writers but keep the good work.moreless

  • This is an awesome show on Disney XD, but it has some problems.

    9.0
    I think this is a subperb show on Disney XD. I mean its not a 10 is because there were 2 bad episodes in this show. Now this isn't that best show on Disney XD. I'm in the band is still the #1 best Disney XD show,but sadly it ended :( Now there are no annoying characters in this show. MY favorite character would have to be Rudy. He's Jason Earles and he was Jackson Stewart on Hannah Montana. And he just absolutly hilarious in this show. Now i so this show aired on Disney Channel. Now it has aired on Disney channel but not that long. Now i like the martail arts in this show. I love karate shows and movies so this why i like the show more. So I think the theme of this show is absolutly awesome!!! Overall 9/10.moreless
