    The only reason it's getting 7 stars because it's nostalgia

    I was reading the reviews and most of them Are one thousand percent right. I watched it again on Disney Plus and my god the characters are so unlikeable.

    Cece : The lead character of the show. She's the dumb one who seems like her and Rocky are always trying to run up each other. She always disrespects her mom and never hangs out with her brother. Cece and Rocky both have the man character energy of being a jerk to everyone.

    Rocky : Rocky's voice was annoying in the beginning but she's the smart one. She only ever gets in trouble when Cece gets her in trouble. She's not that bad of a character.

    Flynn- my god he is a annoying character. He is always pushing people around and serves no purpose in the show. He's usually in the sub-plot.

    Ty- Ty is my 2nd least favorite character. He and deuce are supposed to be friends but they are always so mean to each other. He tries way to hard to be cool that is so cringey.

    Deuce- he's my favorite character and the least problematic one but he's the butt monkey of the show.

    Gunther & Tinka - Sometimes they are funny and other times they are annoying. They are always absent in the show. For some reason Gunther left the show after season 2 and tinka became Frenemies with everyone in season 3. It's obvious they didn't know what to do with her as she was absent in most of the episodes.

    Dina - Dina is the worst character in the show. Her voice is so annoyIng and she treats deuce so bad. She's always threatening him and putting him down.

    Overall most of the cast barley appear and annoying.

    Worst show ever.

    This show is the worst show I have seen come out of Disney, wait, I have a correction, it is tied with A.N.T Farm.

    I have only seen a couple episodes while babysitting a 6-year-old, and to put it frankly, I cannot see how she finds it a good show. I would rather her out Hannah Montana on than this thing they call a TV show,

    So this show stars two 13 year girls. (Don't ask me their names because I couldn't tell you.) They are dancers on a show called Shake it Up Chicago. But the thing is, it is not really dancing. It is shaking their 13-year-old booties on a stage in clothes acceptable for...... a nothing really. When they are not on this show with no purpose, they are out trying to achieve their current egotistical goals that involves benefit for them. Meanwhile, there is a 6 year-old boy who never seems to be under the watchful eye of anyone. In reality, this show is meant to make a 6-year-old to shut up for 30 minutes.

    Completely watchable.

    I must admit that I am a Disney addict and completely love the early work and happily enjoy the live-action new Disney. Shake It Up is a great show for when you want to relax and turn off your brain for 30mins. It's not groundbreaking TV but it does have some great dance & music numbers and an adorable cast (Bella Thorne & Zendaya are fast becoming young style queens).

    It can be luck of the draw as some episodes are pretty good, others not so much but I find it is a lot better than some of the other tween shows out there. So if you enjoy reverting back to your childhood every now and then or alternatively are a child then give it a shot. It's really not as bad as you might think.

    Really Bad...

    Yea this show is just... really... bad. The cast is just plain awful. David Cleveland although he might just be an amateur is just intolerably annoying. And baaaaaad... I've met and babysat a lot of kids and I don't think any kid would act like that, which may be for comedic purposes... it's not... there's like no passion to his acting, it's like watching a elementary school play. Actually the whole show feels like that. In fact the only thing saving this review from a 1/10 is Bella Thorne who actually isn't that bad. Or maybe she's lucky she's really cute. Either way I actually liked that kid's performance and was the only reason I didn't hit that channel button. Her friend however... really irritating. Sorry to say. Of course this just judging from two episodes and frankly... I don't think I want to see anymore...

    Not great

    I could probably comment on how Disney is going downhill, or that they need to stop with the shows about double-lives or trying to get into the show business. I will give it the benefit of the doubt that the jokes are a result of bad writing, the acting has potential though. These are the kinds of jokes I'd probably find funny if I was still 4-11 years old, because they've been recycled so much on Disney. For the most part it's so unrealistic, and need I explain why? It should only take you one episode to determine no 13 year old girl is THAT independent in the middle of Chicago. I remember shows like Even Stevens and Lizzie McGuire, that are arguably just as cheesy as anything else Disney puts out. However, the main difference was it taught kids valuable life lessons, and TV doesn't care about that as much any more. The kids act spoilt, sassy, like they can always win and always get whatever they want. If kids keep growing up with this idea in their head that they can be sassy little brats as adults without getting beaten up or killed, it just shows you what's wrong with today's generation.

    However, I do have a guilty pleasure for the fashion, the theme song is catchy and danceable, and the actors are really cute. However, those aren't really good reasons to like a show, but it did lift my rating from a 1 to a 3.
