anthony-rigoni A sketch show starring a group of people 5 or 6 years younger than me? Hmmm... Where did I see that before? Oh, of course! This show is a FREAKIN' RIPOFF OF NICKELODEON'S "ALL THAT!"!!!! Unfunny, not witty, and idiotic, this show makes the Brady Bunch Variety Hour look like the Carol Burnett Show! Let's see if there are any signs of this show ripping off "All That!"... "Whale Boy" is a ripoff of "Ear Boy". There are also musical performances by people who don't sing, and a moronic parody of MC Hammer, "MC Grammar". And yes, this is the spin-off of a TV Series I already hate, "Sonny With a Chance". Bottom line: Avoid this TV Series like the Megnitis Outbreak!

likewhoarachel Let me start off by saying I hardly ever enjoyed Sonny with a Chance. The characters themselves were underdeveloped and very one-dimensional. This being said, when I found out that Disney was going to begin airing the actual variety show from Sonny with a Chance, I was extremely hesitant to watch. I'm nineteen; I grew up on Nickelodeon's All That, a show that's truly one of the best kid shows ever aired. This coupled with the whole Disney versus Nick fight many people continue to argue over had me underwhelmed and uninterested.I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this show. It's funny, and the new members they've brought to the cast are nothing to scoff at. It definitely has potential to turn Disney's falling ratings around, but there are still several things that I feel prevent the show from really bringing Disney back.The sketches, while funny, are very similar to All That sketches. Tantrum Girl is equivalent to Ask Ashley. The Spanish sketch is similar to Pierre Escargot. What will be Disney's downfall is trying too hard to create a great show. If Disney's writers can stop trying to imitate a hit 90's series and make So Random their own, this show could really do well. Now that All That is coming back to Nickelodeon though, it's definitely going to be hard for Disney to have a variety show. You can say all you want about So Random being wonderful, but go take a look at Youtube and watch some original All That. So Random has some major growing to do if it's going to keep enough interest, especially with All That airing again. All in all, this show has a great deal of potential.

bkoganbing The sudden departure of Demi Lovato from Sonny With A Chance left the rest of the show's cast member somewhat up in the air. I mean as clean teen idols, the Magic Kingdom already has Selena Gomez and Brigit Mendler so they're believers in being prepared.But instead of cannibalizing the rest of the cast to different projects Disney Studio decided to keep the group together and the show within the show that was in Sonny With A Chance now became So Random. While the other show was on we did see some nice sketch comedy, now we see nothing but on So Random with some occasional musical interludes.The interesting thing is how Sterling Knight's character Chad Dylan Cooper who had previously disdained the Randoms in favor of his teen soap opera Mackenzie Falls is now part of this show with no explanation. Just whatever happened to his precious Falls?The sketch comedy is G-rated Saturday Night Live material and pretty funny. I hope this one stays around for a while and the beauty is it can have revolving regulars, cast members can come and go, but the show goes on.I hope it does.

evensmart So Random is based off the sketch comedy show that was within Disney's "Sonny With A Chance." Much like SNL, the very talented young cast pokes fun at Pop Culture, has ridiculous fake infomercials, and guest musical acts. The new show is very similar to the Holiday special last year, which was one of Sonny's highest rated episodes. The first episode had some gems! Helmet Ninja's concept and antics had my wife and I cracking up as they tried to pursue the evil villain with a "Safety First!" approach. It's kind of hard to defeat evil carrying around padded helmets and safety mats! Sure to be a hit! Can't wait to see more!
