I was a teenager and fell in love with this girl.
It's pretty obvious it was a bad show, but I was enjoying it back then :)

pretty good; on and off; not my favorite

Okay. To start off, I am a teenage male who is in the progress of creating a TV show idea himself, and while watching shows to find out which actors I want to use, I came across this.
I hang out around people who are very anti-Disney, and I pretend not to like this. I sort of do, but it is totally not my favorite and this is why.
Firstly, Hannah Montana is about a girl named Miley Stewart who lives a double life as a teen pop sensation named Hannah Montana, which is the most ridiculous, unrealistic main plot I have ever heard of. Now, you've all probably been told how dumb it is to have a blond wig disguise someone, and I think that as well. But, the show isn't really all that bad. Come on! Now, let me rate each part of the show.
Filming- 3/10- I absolutely hate the fact that every Disney show is filmed the way it is. The laugh tracks are annoying and the camera angle is not in a position where you feel like you're really relating to the situation. Totally unoriginal.
Main Plot- 6/10- Fun, but really ridiculous and unrealistic. Who ever heard of a person dressed up in a blond wig and disguising themselves as a singer and expect not to get recognized by their friends? (You've all probably heard that one before.) Episode Plots- 5/10- Easily the most on-and-off episode guide ever. One episode is great, the other one sucks. One has a good story, the other has a super bland and meaningless one. You get the idea.
Characters- 7/10- The best part. Miley is the only annoying one. With her, "say what", and "ya think" crap. And she is not the prettiest one in showbiz. But the other characters are cool. Lily is funny and sweet, and she seems to be the only one who is not very naughty. Oliver is a dork in the old episodes, but gets better as he progresses. Miley's brother Jackson has to be the most hilarious one on the show. His punchlines are always funny, and his quirky situations with Robby Ray (dad) are always funny too. He argues with Miley a lot, but that gets resolved. And Rico. Don't even get me started on how funny he is. He may be a brat, but he is still good for a laugh or two.
Punchlines/Jokes/Lines- 6/10- Aside from Jackson and Rico, most of the character's jokes are overused and get old as easily as the episodes. The punchlines are clever, and so are the lines, but they run out of ideas and can't think of ways both teens and adults can be entertained.
Overall Rating: 5.5/10 Very on-and-off show. I recommend it to people who enjoy small humor. But, if you like sitcoms like The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Even Stevens, or The Game (shows everyone I know loves), don't watch this or anything on Disney. Get my message?

I'm a teenager who has watched pretty much every episode...some were funny...very, very few were funny and i decided to put in my two bits miley Cyrus cannot act; billy ray Cyrus shoulda stuck with DOC. Emily Osment, Mitchell Musso, Jason Earles, and Moises Arias were pretty much the real stars of the show.
I realize it's a TV show for a reason, but it was totally unrealistic. if i had ever talked to either of my parents the way miley did to her daddy, my face would still be numb from getting backhanded. like others have said, the show makes it seem OK to treat your best friends like crap because they'll always come back. i've had friends like that...except after a few years of that kind of treatment, i didn't go back.
has anyone else noticed that it's never her fault? she can tell more lies than she can keep track of, and only gets a hug and a caution to learn from the experience.
i rated it a 5 ~ 4/5 stars are for the only characters who are actually entertaining, the last 5 is because some episodes were amusing.

How is this show as well-liked as it is? (possible spoilers)

Why is this show so immensely popular? Back in 2006, I saw the first episode and thought, Hey, this isn't so bad. As the series progressed, however, I found Hannah Montana to be incredibly dull, unrealistic, and a terrible example for children.
Let's start with the "dull" part: Hannah Montana completely lacks in just about everything. For example, the laugh track is played obnoxiously often throughout the show at moments that aren't even remotely funny. The "comedy" also desperately needs better acting; I haven't seen a difference in Miley's expressions at all, and it's always the same little grimace and hand motions. A good or even decent actress would know to vary facial expressions and movements. Simply walking around with hands and arms in the shrug position doesn't cut it. It's not just Miley that demonstrates the poor caliber of acting; nearly the whole cast is incapable of acting. Emily Osment is the only exception. Aside from the acting, the plot line is exceptionally bland; it chronicles the double life of a not-so-great teenager. Personally, I could think of so much more enlightening subjects around which to base a show.
Moreover, the show is totally unrealistic. Blonde wigs don't magically transform people into mediocre singers (yes, I just called the singing mediocre). Any person can see that Miley looks exactly like Hannah Montana (hmm, wonder why), and therefore Miley would be mobbed as soon as she stepped out of her front door. However, she is totally able to keep her cover and keep her night life under the radar like magic.
Also, the show is an atrocious example for the young children who watch this show. It insists that it's okay to be exceptionally cruel to your friends; they'll always come back. It says to feel free to use all the sarcasm you want; it doesn't affect people. That is not the way the world works; cruelty should not be acceptable. It should not be funny, either. For some reason, we are supposed to find insults, sarcasm, and bad attitudes to be hilarious. Miley is basically a spewing fountain of sarcasm. I can't recall one episode where she hasn't used her "Ya think?!" line (multiple times at that, and apparently this is "funny"). Since when is shouting at your supposed "best friends" okay to do? I have a five-year-old relative, and she adores the Disney Channel, in particular Hannah Montana. About three months ago, her mother had to ban her from watching the show because she was developing an attitude similar to Miley's: mean, sarcastic, and trashy. Here was a five-year-old little girl who was back-sassing her parents, acting like she owned the world, treating her younger brother like dirt, and dancing in a very suggestive manner. Was the aim of the Disney Channel to produce a show that would transform all the innocent little girls of the USA into trashy preteens?
This show is possibly the worst show the Disney Channel has come up with. It's sad to see that this is what kids are watching. I advise everyone to stay away; the show is not all it's cracked up to be.
A very sad 1/10.

One of the many examples of why Disney has gone downhill...
Zaptharo20 January 2008

Did I like Disney at one time? I sure did. Especially the Disney Channel, which once had a whole variety of programs to choose from, including those from when Walt Disney himself was still around. But now, those days are over, and the company is now referred to as a has been. I've tried to tolerate Disney in recent years, but anymore, the majority of what comes out of it is plain crap. The show Hanna Montana is a good indication of that.
Quite frankly, I grew up with sitcoms, and back in the 80s and 90s, there was always a good sitcom to watch with the whole family. Not now. I honestly can't see why Hanna Montana is so popular among the kids and the young teens crowd. It is dull, and the laugh track that is common in sitcoms is played in even the most boring of parts. Miley Cryus herself displays poor acting, heck, I say the whole crew lacks talent. Like HSM, this show is just another poor example of what Disney nowadays seems to think as good entertainment. It is not.
Perhaps the most insulting is when Hanna (Miley) puts on a wig as a disguise. Suddenly, it's as if no one knew who she was. How pathetic is that? She also yells at her best friends, like that it's okay to do in real life. Miley pretty much uses her cheesy lines and cruel ways to deal with things, and in the end, her friends always return. She even has her father playing in this, helping her along the way just in case something bad happens. So to make myself clear, Hanna Montana is a joke, bringing in a bland plot line with some of the most wretched clichés I have ever seen.
I wish the Disney Channel would go back to the way it was. But concerning today's society, I doubt Disney will. I had respect for them, but I have all but lost it in recent years. So unless you have children who are overexcited for this cookie cutter show, avoid this at all costs. It is not what some people claim it to be.
1 out of 10.

Cheesy and silly, but mostly fun and enjoyable.

10 years ago, no one would have suspected that a show about a middle school girl who lives a double life as a normal teen and a pop sensation would become an overnight hit - but it has, and that type of show takes the form of Mickey's new pride and joy Hannah Montana, starring a fresh-faced Miley Cyrus (yes, "Achy Breaky's" daughter).
So the premise, well, I have already explained it. But the catch is, for some reason, she has to keep her double identity a secret. The only people who know are her family, friends, and her on-again-off-again boyfriend. It seems easy enough to keep the cat in the bag, but paparazzi photos that contain evidence and suspicious schoolmates are easy - and frequent - threats to the ordeal.
The acting is all over the place on this show. The actors can be over-the-top and crazy very frequently, and in a second can switch to dull and lifeless, be it in a comedic or dramatic scene. One actor who manages to (slightly) neutralize herself is Emily Osment - who plays the main character's best friend - from the last two installments of Spy Kids, and she does quite a good job of that. A bright future for her as an actress can definitely be seen. Mitchel Musso and Jason Earles have great comedic timing but are way too wild with their acting on occasion. Billy Ray Cyrus as the father (meaning he doesn't have to act much as he's Hannah's father in real life) often seems like he's reading off a teleprompter and shows no emotion. His daughter, Miley, the leading lady, definitely has some comedic timing but needs to work more on her acting if she's expected to carry a show.
The story lines are mostly good and have some kind of moral value to them. But as with typical Disney tradition, the values are never subtle. But that's OK, because the 18 minutes leading up to the 2-minute cheesiness are mostly enjoyable. And Miley has quite a bit of singing talent. The acting is mediocre and the plots can be shallow at times, but overall, this is enjoyable and kids will love it, which is the most important thing for a show like this. Hannah Montana rates as a 6 out of 10.

Hannah Montana is a famous pop' singer who has to lead a double life (by her own will it appears) as a normal pre-teen in Malibue, California. That sounds good, doesn't it? No. In fact this is one of the worst 'comedies' i have seen, and i've seen Reba and 8 Simple Rules. Hannah and her best friend are supposedly normal pre-teens (i shudder to think what normal adults will be like in the near future) who have to face the usual anticipated challenges of school, 'dating' and 'hanging around'. The idea of a famous star living a normal life could've been done so much better, but it wasn't. The music is awful (both the country music she sings (i admit i hate country music) and the background music) and the gags are terrible. The jokes and scenes involving Billy Ray, who is apparently her manager, aren't that funny either. The best gag i've seen is reminiscent of 'that's so raven'esquire jokes involving bold and unintelligent visual gags based on dim wittedness or lame attempts at covering up some crime or act. Put frankly, this isn't worth watching. Try an episode and you won't be screaming for an encore from this 'star'.
I am 19 years old and I hate to say this but I love Hannah Montana

I can't believe that so many people dislike this TV show because they hate Miley Cryus and they don't like the show. Just because she is too mature for her age and is a real daddy's girl doesn't mean that people should hate her for that. Anyway about the TV show the show is about a young teenager named Miley Stewart who by day is a country gal and by night with the help of some clothes and a blonde wig she is Hannah Montana. The music is alright and the plot is funny. I find Cyrus to be funny as she always says Jackson said something about what? and she's always fighting with her brother Jackson.
The movie version of this is very good as it is similar to the TV show except it shows us where she lived and what she is missing out on.
I like the show and I think Cryus is OK a bit too old fashioned and her accent is annoying but still I think she's a decent actress.
Is it me or is she trying to be Hilary Duff's long lost twin with the blonde wig and the style of clothes. Never mind anyway i'll give it a 8/10.

Very unique and fun to watch, but many times it is unbelievable, and has corny jokes. Yet it is exciting to watch, and most of the time the jokes are funny. Though the Jake Ryan episodes are very boring. I think that they could have had a lot better jokes in them.Though, it is nice how all the episodes are different and don't repeat the same concept like in that so raven. The acting is better in the newer episodes, but in the old ones you could really tell it was rehearsed, but above all it is a hilarious show that is very random and unpredictable. I recommend watching this because I personally think it is the best show on Disney. When you first hear about it it might sound confusing and lame, but trust me once you start watching it you figure it out easily. Hananh Montana is one of the only shows that leaves you with a good feeling. Hannah Montana has great lessons for kids, and hopefully she will keep doing Hannah Montana for much longer.
Really bad
TOMNEL20 January 2007
Warning: Spoilers
I do not find this show at all funny. I actually think it is much worse than any of the other terrible Disney channel sit-coms right now. Miley Cyrus is an interesting choice to play Miley aka Hannah Montanna, because she can't sing, and she can't act. The jokes on this show are terribly unfunny, and it makes it even worse when the only cast member that has a little bit (and I mean little bit) of acting talent is Emily Osment as Miley's friend Lily. Bily Ray Cyrus and Jason Earles portray Miley's father (and is her father) and Jason Earles portrays her idiot brother thats always getting in to some stupid shenanigan. Two words that can really describe this show is terribly corny. It's corny humor that only little girls find funny because their brains have not developed yet. Now I've explained my hatred for the acting and the horrible humor, what's next? The whole premise of the show is a stupid idea. She puts on a wig and suddenly nobody recognizes her? It's moronic. In summation, I hate this show, however little girls who do not have a concept of funny will enjoy it, so I guess that's what they're going for over quality.
My rating: Awful show. TV G. 30 mins.

Alright, I can say I minded three stages of my life talking about Hannah Montana. Three years ago we could say I was a really really huge fan of it. I used to completely love this show, despite I don't know exactly why it really catch my attention. Second phase, Hate. For some reason my mind said: ''Enough of Hannah Montana or I'm gonna die''. I hated this show because there was no sense on it! But now, sadly I gotta say I'm on a third phase; no mood. I don't really have anything against this TV Show, yeah, I know is really lame sometimes, but I can honestly say I sometimes find myself watching it! Why? Ah, because of my little sis or because there's no other stuff on TV. Yeah, I can mind this show, is not that bad, actually it sometimes makes me laugh (let me be clear, I very sometimes laugh with this TV show....) and I think it's a bit enjoyable. Although the comedic theme is lame the most of the times. Don't blame the entire cast, I think is Miley's fault. Her character is probably the most awful thing on the Show. Not because of her role model (which I think is pretty bad), because of whole her. She's the most annoying character on the show, she's rude to her friends the most of the times, she's clearly very clueless (I mean, the most of the time she's stupid!), and she's the typical stereotype of dumb girl who has her empty mind focused into make-up, date boys, and pretend to be the perfect girl (yeah, by wearing Hannah Montana's wig and thinking nobody would recognize her...) plus, each episode you can see her with a brand new boyfriend and she's always arguing with her charming father because he treats her ''like a child'', or because he doesn't want her to be hurt by dating the wrong guys. She thinks is bad so she gets mad at him (which I think is a really bad example for girls who watch the TV Show) and decides to make it on her own. But at the very ending she makes up for him singing a song. That's very, but very very repetitive and even annoying; I hate her so badly, but I think sometimes she's a little less empty-headed, by showing her deep care about her friends and stuff. Alright, that does not mean she's a good character, I already said is the most annoying one. BUT I thing the rest of the cast makes up to her. Lily is a really cute girl, even funny and enjoyable. She has good values to show and actually is a good example. Also Oliver. Miley's father is the best character, he's the funniest one and the most lovable. Rico is fine, I don't have anything against him. I found Miley's brother really nasty, I don't like his character. And I think it's all; I think if they took away Miley's character, Hannah Montana would be really good; it's a good idea, they make it funny but not that funny, enjoyable maybe-- And it sometimes shows up good values for girls (sometimes---). The characters are well portrayed by their respective actors and actresses (ok, everybody but Miley's role; Miley Cyrus has something to do with my hate on Miley's role, tough. She's so nasty, and by everything she did and keeps doing, you could say she's a really hateful slut which makes you wanna say: ''Hey, you! Get back to earth and stop being so bitchy! I know you're at the top, but that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want!'') The music on the show is kinda lame too. It's not something you could put on your iPod to listen over and over again. Actually, without Miley's role, without Jason being disgusting and without that lame music, Hannah Montana would be a lot better. 5/10

One thing to say that just needs to be said which sums up this show in a nut shell : Disney have lost all credibility. First of all, to be fair, I am not a young kid so I don't know how young kids feel about this show, but the show consists of (apparently) teenagers. When are Disney going to stop trying to pull off a show about teenagers? Either stop being so conservative and actually show what real teenagers are like or stop humiliating these poor kid actors who are reduced to portraying ultimately complete dorks on the screen. This show is embarrassingly unfunny- Billy Ray Cyrus had one hit album like what a million years ago and now thinks of himself as an actor? Its painful to watch him act and I think bad acting is genetic because shes even worse. The only remotely funny people in the show are Mylee's two friends whom are still not given much to work with script wise but could probably be funny doing something real. The show is simply stupid and made for the mentally retarded. It offers no intelligence, no wit - just the same boring storyline every single episode with the same processed no good acting- I am still scratching my head as to why this show has done so well. Please God - just do us all a favour and take it off the air?
Pathetic attempt at a Children(s) Series

This series is so short of a series, it might as well not have existed at all. I tried to watch this show after some convincing of the kids and since there was such a big hype about it. After watching the show, I stared into space and thought...What has Disney come to? This show basically consists of 4 main characters and a bunch of other side characters. Miley Cyrus plays a famous teen star called Miley Stewart /Hannah Montana who at the same time manages a life as a normal school girl. I honestly don't see how a girl manages two lives at once. It's totally unrealistic. Back on topic, Emily Osment plays Miley's "so called" best friend who is yelled at and ridiculed by Miley and they still seem to be "best friends". Jason Earles plays Miley's idiotic brother and always seems to get into trouble; Not to mention how he is always able to make very off-beat puns. He also seems to work at some sort of a snack shack for a demanding and extremely bratty 11 year old kid named "Rico" who is played by Moises Arias. Robbie Stewart who is played by Billy Ray Cyrus is the father of Miley Stewart who always seems to take care of or handle Miley's problems by talking to just her about it. Not her friends or anyone else, just talking to his daughter. Also, he tends to be very moist and vague to help any real life problem, and the problems always are usually simple, and predictable.
Disney, all and all, is trying harder and harder to get the public(s) attention with new shows that seem to get more abhorrent as each series passes. C'mon Disney! Just shut the hell up!

I don't have anything against Hannah Montana but her show should be taken off the air it is lame,corny,and boring after watching one episode i wanted to stop watching Disney channel all together it was that terrible she is not that funny. you can tell its her through the blond wig. She didn't really have to do anything to really get the job. there are real actors that are still trying to climb there way to the top and she gets the part no problem. She shouldn't have a Hannah Montana movie her show was only out for what about a year or two now and it is the lamest thing i have ever saw on television. I have one more thing to say why is it that the suite life of Zack and Cody is ten times better than Hannah Montana.
Great Show!

This show is great.
All the people complaining about how it isn't realistic or how the stories are to predictable seem to forget that it's not meant for adults and it's not meant to be totally realistic. It's meant to be a nice show for kids. Those that complain about how it's encouraging kids to be shallow and think that money is everything should watch a few episodes. So many of them are about Miley realising that those things don't matter.
This is a nice feel good show. Don't watch it for deep artistic debate. Watch it cause its fun.

Personally and truthfully, I hate this show. I hated it from the start but I still can't pull myself to rate this show a 1 because, to be honest, I liked SOME of the episodes. But now, it's so unrealistically pitiful. Like how a bunch of people commented on her wig. I absolutely agree, I mean, you can't just put on a wig and expect everybody to not recognize you, how is that possible? It's not! Basically it's like sending out little signals to kids telling them that, it's okay to pretend to be someone else. When it's not. Settle on one! Be a rock star or be a regular kid, you can't have both of those ways. And what's with Jake Ryan Vampire Slayer Dude? One episode he's all sweet and loving and the next he's all super conceited. This show is so indecisive, it kills me.
Anyway, the acting, eh not so good. I've seen way better. And when Miley Cyrus speaks, I'm like "Lay off the cigarettes!" Her voice really really bothers me. Truly I only like Emily Osment and even then they make her look bad by causing her to be selfish about her friendship with Miley. I feel sorry for Mitchel Musso//Oliver whatever. He's one of Miley's best friends and he's a freaking background sidekick character! Oh and when there was that episode with Dolly and Miley grandma or whatever and Miley and Emily had to dress up to show how they acted, well that little get-up for Miley suited her. HA, no wonder she chose to pretend she's Dolly. Miley's freaking selfish in general, mean, sarcastic, and not a real person. Idk...I just give it a 2 out of 10. My rant's done.

Hannah Montana Is AWESOME

I originally thought here we go again, another annoying stupid lame t.v show that means nothing. But when i watched it i was really surprised. Hannah Montana is actually a really cool show. Miley Cyrus is so funny at times and is a likable character. Lily - is so funny and a character and is unique Oliver - is just plain weird but enjoyable to watch. Jackson - is the most relatable character in the series , if you are the middle child or an older sibling is always getting the attention , in this case Miley having all the attention. i personally relate to him. The episodes are very entertaining , especially when Lily and Oliver start dating. Overall an awesome show. 9/10
Lily's character in season 3
lara-lovelife22 July 2009
In the 1st season the show was hilarious, and it was so good until Lily & Oliver went out. She is totally obnoxious and I honestly hated her in I honestly love you (no,not you) She cries so much! Wel 1st of all she doesn't know what love is and she is really annoying. I think this kind of proves that she doesn't belong with Oliver. But each time she has a boyfriend she's all: You're so cute! No you're so cute... it's really annoying... And in Joanie B. Goode she ruined a perfect Moliver scene : Oliver: Miley you'll always be on of my best girl buds Lily: Hey! Oliver: one of my best two girl buds. And in Janie B. Goode, she is mean to Oliver's girlfriend and he just asks for her to be nice with her but she didn't try until the hockey game. I really like Emily Osment but I hate her character... But I kinda like the show though
Worst show ever (possible spoilers)

Miley Cyrus plays Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana, a teenager who leads a double life who lives with her dad Robbie (has been Billy Ray Cyrus) and her idiot brother Jackson (Jason Earles). I just don't get why this show is so liked and popular, it has to be the worst TV show I have ever seen.
Firstly the acting is horrendous (with the exception of Emily Osment who is OK). Miley Cyrus has to be the worst actress I have ever seen and her dad isn't any better. Miley Cyrus always uses the same facial expressions and I can't stand her voice, she sounds like a middle aged woman smoking 50 a day. She can't sing and the only reason she has all this success is because of her washed up, has been singer dad Billy Ray Cyrus.
Also how can nobody not recognise it's the same person but in a blonde wig. Anybody can see it's just Miley Stewart in a blonde wig yet people on the show are stupid enough not to know. It's just pathetic.
And it's OK for Miley to treat her friends like dirt. She sets a bad example to younger kids and says it OK to be mean to your friends. They think being cruel, insulting, to have a bad attitude and being sarcastic is funny and great TV. And the amount of times she uses "Ya think" on the show is just annoying, my sister is always saying that and it gets on my nerves. Miley Cyrus is a terrible example for a role model.
The supporting cast of Lilly (Emily Osment) and Oliver (Mitchell Musso) are probably the only people on the show who do a decent job. Rico on the other hand is just as bad as Miley. He's like 10 or 11 and he's one of the most bratty, obnoxious, egotistical, arrogant, annoying person I have ever come across. Characters like that shouldn't be allowed on kids shows. And the laugh track is horrible and annoying, being played in parts were it's not funny and parts were Miley is being cruel which is not right.
This show is embarrassingly unfunny and I warn everybody to keep away from it.

A good show that teach's children values, such as ethics, honesty, and fairplay!

Why are there so many bad reviews? and Why is this show so immensely popular? I have to admit I never watched the show until last year, and watched my first episode a few months ago and thought, hey this is a good show for children, and enjoyed watching it with my nephew who is six and niece who is five ( They love her and the cast). I also bought the Hannah Montana movie, and also enjoyed watching it. First this is a show that is geared towards children, but I also found that it taught good moral values, ethics, and diversity.
Is Disney going down hill, I think not. Disney is still producing great quality children shows that teach good American values, morale's and ethics and honesty and fair play.
Obviously Hannah aka Miley Cyrus has grown into a beautiful teenage young woman and is now progressing to other areas of entertainment in her career as well as breaking out of her shell, just as Hillary Duff, and Christina Aguilara did when they were both her age and had to move on from the Disney Channel. Growing up is just a fact of life, does that now make Miley a bad role model? I think not!

This terrible show is another failed attempt by Disney channel to appeal to girls (and sadly some boys) between the ages of 10-14. The acting on the show is really annoying, and worst of all they make little annoying kids say "aaa oh!". Then the little kids see it, and think it originated from Hannah Montana. Little kids running around everywhere screaming "aaa oh!" (the RICO kid is the main culprit. one of the worst parts of the show is how it gives the idea that Hannah is a nice person. Yeah right. A girl like her would make fun of people for looking different than her: for example... if a kid did not have long hair and ride a skateboard she would call him a nerd and toy around with his emotions! The character is shallow and cruel. I am also sick with how Disney gives every boy in their shows long hair. oliver looks like a girl! It is making everyone now-a-days look alike. Why doesn't he grow a Mohawk, or even a mullet. anything to end this fad of looking like a skateboarder. Now i'm even for bringing back Spike hair. (i am also enraged at boys wearing tight pants. yeah they think they look cool now, but how will they feel in 15 years when they are sterile...)how cool would it be if every boy on the show looked different. the oliver kid could have a mullet, Jackson could have a Mohawk...etc. This domination of white kids with long hair and tight pants is really annoying..and shows like Hannah Montana aren't helping! Disney! bring back good shows. don't produce tripe like Hannah Montana that teaches kids to be fashion Na-z-is to one another!
Horrible and Cheesy

This show is AWFUL! If this show is "Hannah Montana," it's not about her that much. Mostly Jackson, Robby Ray, Rico, and Oliver are the funny ones and Miley and Lily are barely shown and aren't that funny. Also, the plots are mostly about Miley protecting her secret life. Also, the effects are horrible. When someone is flying or picked up, you can obviously see they are fake. Overall this show is horrible. If anyone watches this and likes it, they are crazy. It's cheesy, overrated, and a waste of time. Finally, this show is too serious, it's always, "do the right thing" and it's never bad.
I hate IT!

What has Disney Channel done?

I personally don't like Hannah Montana.
The show is so predictable. Every episode you know that Hannah is going to be stuck in some hard situation. Reeco's always going to have some sort of plan up his sleeve. Jackson is either hitting on a girl, or doing something ridiculous. Its really obvious how Hannah Montana talks... and how Miley Stewart talks and how much they look alike, that just makes cast in the show look dumb. I'm sorry to all who are fans of Miley but I don't think she can act OR sing at all whatsoever. She did NOTHING to get her where she is today. Its all because of her dad. "Daddy, I want to be a pop star" what did ya know, look where she is today. Sure she's pretty, but face it doll face... some of us out there have real talent and are working out butts off trying to get a music career, and what did you have to do? NOTHING!
