    Good memories from Nick At Night

    I used to watch this at night on Nickelodeon in Brazil, when I watch I just can feel at home and as a kid again, getting comfortable in bed after a long day. It used to be aired with Kennan & Kel. When I was a kid these shows were cancelled already. So I could watch some old shows. True Jackson is a cool sitcom, not the best from Nicki but very stable and cool to watch and with no Nickelodeon drama around. It's like a safe show to watch.

    Unfortunately it's like I'm the only one who remembers and still cares about this show. But anyways if you're thinking about to watch I really recommend it. Just don't expect crazy stuff like Icarly, more like a grown up sitcom.

    Below average sitcom, but not terrible

    True Jackson VP is a show with an oddball plot and even odder characters. The show is funny at times, but isn't funny enough to satisfy most. Another Nickelodeon attempt at comedy, but mostly the show just ain't that funny!

    True Jackson is about a 15 year old girl with the same name who gets chosen to become a vice president of a major fashion label called Mad Styles. True Jackson is the protagonist and the best character on the show. She always does the right thing, and never gets (too) angry. Set in New York, True has to deal with her REALLY high maintenance co-worker Amanda Cantwell, a woman who isn't too thrilled about having to work with True, a 15 year old girl. Amanda is extremely sarcastic and talkative, and a total suck-up to the boss. She would probably jump off a building for him! Then there's True's bubble-headed friends, Lulu and Ryan. Lulu's an average girly girl, not the brightest girl, but she's sort of smart in her own way. Then there's Ryan, a total idiot who is a HORRIBLE character inside out! HE gives the show its poor image, people. Max Madigan is the boss of Mad Styles, and sort of an airhead who can still do his job. Then there's Oscar, the odd male secretary, and Jimmy, the mail carrier who is literally obsessed with his work.

    This show I wouldn't really recommend if you have high expectations. The characters are annoying (True isn't), and the plot is silly. A 15 year old girl becoming vice president of a New York fashion label? That doesn't happen in real life. Skip this show and see something better.

    Fun, Cute, and Witty

    I really enjoyed this show. It's shows kids being kids and that working in an office is often no different from high school. The cute and witty humor and fun personalities kept me watching til the end.

    Awesome Show

    Unlike the typical Nickelodeoon shows True Jackson Vp by far has more variety and depth than those common icarly and the troop crap they call shows. The cast have great childish humor and moderate humor that can attract both audiences and portrays great acting skills from Keke Palmer. Though sometimes it seems over done the end result always impresses me and never leaves the viewer disappointed. So I commend the cast and a big applaud to Keke for keeping it real. For any of you fools out there who think it is a bad show because of the plot or humor check again and see how similar and foolish its plot is as to icarlys.It is also about time that they get a teen who hasn't been posted in the tabloids for underage drinking, breakups, nude images, or drugs of some sort.

    Keke Palmer is a Star

    I watched this show and thought it was very good. The writing was so much better than the other kids shows that are on today. I honestly think that we have seen so much bad writing and acting in these kid shows that when a good show comes along we do not know the difference.

    It's the same in music we are so use to hearing electronic vocals that when we hear real singing we do not like the sound and choose the song with the weak phony vocals because it's what we are use to hearing. When Brittany Spears came out I loved her music, but I was 7 years old, now that I am older no way I choose Brittany over Paramore. I still love Brittany, but real singing beats that cheesy stuff any day.

    Keke Palmer is so graceful and such a strong actress that it's hard not to give this show a chance. There is no other kid actor/actress on kids TV that brings the resume and the natural talent that she has, True Jackson V.P. is a great show because of Keke, the other actors are not known, once people see them a bit more then judge, but to say the writing was bad just from the pilot, what studio would pay for a bad pilot?? They send these shows out to be tested, it obviously tested high with a lot of kids or they would not have picked this show up.

    Millions of people tuned in to see this show that's no accident, Keke Palmer it's her turn now. Why can't real talent have a chance for a change? I remember the days of Jett Jacksons, All That(Keenan and Kel) Even Stevens, all good actors, to me Keke's acting is as real as those actors and that is why people should watch True Jackson V.P., to see the star of the show shine, not take cheap shots at the supporting unknown cast, especially after just one episode.

    • Trivia
      True Jackson's catchphrase, "You said what now?!" comes from when Keke Palmer was told the news of her casting. She couldn't believe it, and told the producers, "You said what now?!" The producers loved it so much, they made it her character's catchphrase.
