OK you know what? You need to chill. You're saying, "this show is horrible!!" And the only proof you have is the fact that your favorite shows got taken off because of it. Are you even judging the actual shows content? And if you flip the channel to anything else but Zoey101 or Naturally Sadie or whatever, then how on earth do you know whether it's bad or good? Personally, I think the shows are interesting. And Life with Derek is like the best show I've ever watched. And they have a lot of viewers because all of my friends and all f the kids I've ever babysitted watch it also. So if you're going to put the shows down, at least use an example OK?

When they first announced that "The Buzz on Maggie" was going to be on Disney Channel, I knew that it was just going to be another idiotic and pointless crap show.Then I watched it (because nothing else was on) last October 2005.And you know what? I was right.It was boring, senseless, stupid and totally un-funny. First of all, I agree with a lot of the other people who commented on this show - who in the heck would want to watch a show about FLIES?! One word: NASTY!!! Of course, even if it was a cute animal like dogs or cats, it'd still be unworthy and idiotic. Second, Disney Channel just doesn't need shows like this. It kills their network. I say, "Disney Channel, put this crappy show where it belongs - in the dang trash, along with Dave the Barbarian ("The Buzz on Maggie" was worse than THAT, even!!!!!)"

EWWW! This has to be the worst show ever created! Its definitely up there with "naturally Sadie" "american dragon" and can we ever forget the wretched "dave the barbarian" I mean sure I believe not to "yuck someones yum" but I'm just being honest! If Disney would put the older, better shows on its channel, I would watch it so much more than i do now! I mean come on! you take off good quality shows like "smart guy" for "the buzz on Maggie" ? how low can you sink! They could at least make a second channel with all the better older shows on it. And same with nickelodeon! Before the cruddy shows they have on now, they both used to be channels worth watching! Whenever I come across a "zoey 101" or a "naturally Sadie" episode, I change it to the worst channel I can think of, because anything on there is 5 times better than those crap shows! Srry to all those who like the shows i just put down, but I'm just being honest. I like the old shows and thats that.

When I first heard of this new flash animation cartoon being broadcast on the Disney Channel, I was naturally skeptical. It's not enough that they had to make yet another show starring a (shudder) female "tween" that involves school, bothersome parents and the requisite obsession with boys, but now in order to make the show "unique" they've added the wrinkle of making this young teenager into a fly? Sorry, not buying it.But it was summer and I was bored, so I scanned the mostly unwatchable cable channels and happened upon this show. It was the episode where the main character, Maggie Pesky, unwittingly found herself the love object of a socially repellent stinkbug. That episode was characteristic of what I found appealing about the character carrying the show - an adolescent girl continuously conflicted between her vanities and her better nature. She is sure she does not want to become intimate with a stinkbug, but she continues to lead him on in order to take advantage of his connections to a country club that offers mudbaths, snorkeling in swamp water, and other amenities fit for insects.Adding to her appeal is the fact that she is not your typical wallflower type that populates these shows. She's unconcerned about popularity, and she makes no secret for her disdain for the popular, snobbish bugs at her school. But she can just as easily be the one who needs dressing down, especially the times she takes advantage of other people for her own personal gain.The voice of Maggie is very appropriate for a tomboyish pre-pubescent girl who seems to be into popular punk (if I were to callously categorize her), with all the cracking and deepening of a child going though puberty. It almost recalls the voice of E.G. Daily's (Tommy from "Rugrats"). I have yet to get totally used to flash animation being a medium of choice for cartoon shows since it has a stop-motion quality that is hard to ignore, but the animators really outdid themselves here in trying to keep the motions fluid. The bright and stimulating colors, aesthetic designs and those big expression-able eyes on the characters are also appealing. I give this show three out of four stars, but it might not be for everybody. This show is a personal favorite of mine for the additional reason that it panders to my background in biology. Aside from presenting a hypothetical world of flies and other insects where rotten food and garbage are considered delicacies and germs can be kept as pets, I love how they incorporate trivial facts about flies such as how they regurgitate some stomach contents on the food they are about to eat in order to facilitate digestion. *** out of ****
