REVIEW: SHAKE IT UP series

For those of you who don't live in a crater at the bottom of the ocean- 'Shake It Up' is a teen-pop candy show curtesy of that wretched Disney channel.

Disney Channel-the broadcasting network that brought us favourites like 'Wizards of Waverly Place' and 'Fish Hooks' have unfortunately missed the mark on this one.

'Shake It Up' is basically a bubblegum teen comedy, centred around the lives of two teenage girls, Rocky and Cece, who are trying to make it big in the dancing world. The show has it's highlights, namely the trendy(yet slightly overdone) outfits, catchy (yet slightly annoying) songs and the cute pig that guest starred one time.

To be honest, the show is a little superficial in some of its views and the dialogue and comedy feels strained and pushed to the limit. The thing with every Disney channel shows is that they always have some sort of annoying moral at the end which REALLY gets on my nerves! The cast is irrittating and hard to relate to...the only episode that I liked was the one where Cece admits that she's dyslexic.

If you don't mind a little fancyh footwork and some weak humour...then this is the show for you!
