lilahtyleraiden So, this show is really terrible on every level. It has that typical absurd situational humor but that's not why I'm writing this.Let's start off with the fact that this kid becomes a trillionaire by not eating his vegetables. But the two things that get me the most are his sex symbol French maid robot slave and his walking stereotype of a 12 year old money manager. These two things do not belong in a children's show. His best (friend)?? Is a girl that spends all of his money and doesn't stop complaining. The main character himself a spoiled, selfish and suffers zero consequences for being an absolute donkey to his sister and his "help". The dad belongs in an institution of some sort for allowing all this behavior and for allowing his 11?? Year old to purchase a sexualized slave. I hate this show and it is now banned from this house. If you took any lessons from this horribly written show they would be:Treat everyone like your help Hold your money over everyone's headObjectify and buy attractive slave womenIf you're rich you suffer no consequencesDon't eat vegetablesTreat your family like they are meaningless

nukeman-00359 there are things that work in the show, and Some aren't. The good, i like the Richie character. He's a funny kid and he can provide a convincing role i like the Murray kid, he's a great comic foul for the other friend. I also like the premise, making a new fuel based out of vegetables creating a good idea with no such need for fossil fuels. now to things i hate, i hate the father and the sister character. The father feels a lot like a sitcom dad stereotype. I mean he can't get through a knob and peephole? Come on, the jealous sister is irrelevant. I mean she does nothing except be upsetting annoyed and be the complaining sister and Darcy. Darcy being the friend that i think is just friends with him for the money. I honestly don't know why. It's OK

mykidzrkute-96694 I rarely review but I sat and watched an episode of this with my 11 year old daughter and have to say it's just awful! The sad part being it could have been good. There characters that play Richie, his dad and the maid seem to be talented actors/actresses who seem appealing to me as such, just not in this show. Why they would agree to do such trash just screams $$$$$$. The theme song makes clear that Richie is rich from "not eating his vegetables" and creating an alternate energy source. Yes, let's put that out there right off the bat for our kids to see. Then there's the fact that he allows one of his best friends to blow as much of his money as she wants but his sister has to try and trick him into finances and is jealous of his wealth. Or that his dad is still a stereotypical jobless deadbeat dad even though his minor son obviously has the means to provide for himself, just no one else. Like all well rounded kid shows these days only parent is present for some reason and it's the dad. He's a love able post 80's stoner type character who loves his kids but can't take care of himself let alone a family it seems, I like the actor that plays him though.Ritchie's maid is a "super model model" robot. I guess dad had no problem with him ordering her, you know since he's like, 10. She's an objectifiable character slammed into the middle of a children's show im guessing to attempt to pull some appeal from a slightly older pre teen genre? I can't image why else she's there.....if couldn't be to attract adults because it's clearly a children's show and there's no way anyone over 12, maybe 14 would watch this.In all I couldn't believe the writing when I sat down and watched a couple episodes. I colder believe the hook to not eat vegetables and I'm still wondering why these two kids have no guidance and don't go to school. The character could have been a great one considering the actors, the idea and writing is just all half assed

nicolaswhiting I loved the Richie Rich movie (1994) with Macaulay Culkin when I was a kid. Of course, once I watched it again as an adult, I found some things in the movie just dumb, but I could still see why I loved it so much. It was well written, had a good plot, good actors, etc.This Richie Rich show, however, is simply bad. No, wait, I have a better word for it: horrendous. Story is pretty much inexistent, characters and dialogues are horribly written, and actors are just... not good. After watching a few episodes, I couldn't take it anymore.I know they are just kids that were probably just very poorly directed, but still, this is something else. They remind me of puppies that are avidly learning to do new tricks. In this case, their "punchlines" are the tricks, and the "laughs" are the rewards. And honestly, it gives a stink of desperation to the whole show. They kinda look like they are on speed or ecstasy too. Yep, a bunch of puppies on drugs, that's pretty much what they look like to me.And let's not forget the obviously objectified/sexualized robot French maid... She has the best lines, and she's a freaking robot! And just like all the other characters, she's an overused stereotype that is just inappropriate. It's like they took her character from a bad indie porn movie and put it in a kids show on Netflix.I don't often take time to review movies/series, but this show just made me so mad I had to vent somehow. I can't believe such a show can still be produced in 2015. It's sad for the actors, because you sense they do have potential and talent hidden behind the poor direction, but I officially brand this as unwatchable. There's too much wrong stuff at the same time, and I honestly don't understand how someone could enjoy it.
