I'm in the Band (2009–2011)
10/10
Original, lovable characters, great music and no offenses - fabulous
16 January 2018
I am a grown up and a rock fan, and I absolutely love this show. If you are a teenager, you will love it, if you are interested in comedies about the rock business (realistic or not is not the question, how realistic was Spinal Tap? And , yet, it was great, 11 stars ;-) ) or into rock music (cause the music is not bad at all!!), you will love it. In a world with a lot of hatred, discrimination, and, not too forget, Rap and Hiphop (loved the 6th episode!), it is great to have a nice, fair show about rock where the only offense (if at all) is directed towards the characters themselves, which are all so lovable, that you don't mind them being a bit cliched (yes, show for kids) and simple-minded. And in contrast to other kids' shows, there are not the usual,flat 'dumb grown-ups' jokes where the teachers and parents (over-re-)act like complete idiots and not in the least with the same charm or originality like Ash. Anyway, the stories are fun and inoffensive, it is realtively original, the music is great, and the lyrics even better (come on, Face down in a plate of Nachos is fabulous - lyrics, music and the performance - instant classic). I will never understand how shows like this one (and Grandfathered and Grinder) get axed while a dull show like Young Sheldon (which is nothing like Big Bang Theory or even Sheldon IN TBBT) or even worse shows get fulsome praise... A shame there is only two seasons of this great, great, funny, creative rock show.
