Austin & Ally

I think Austin & Ally is super amazing for a Disney show. Its dialogues are hilarious. Each character is an individual. Austin is a performer and you can see that Ross Lynch feels good on the stage. He doesn't need to act, he feels the moves. A lot of people are pointing out, that he is playing hot guy that is not hot. His cheeky smile is adorable, I don't think he is meant to be hot. He is meant to be cute. Ally is adorable and dorky character that reminds me of Zooey Deschanel's character Jess from FOX's New Girl. Very adorkable. Austin and Ally's chemistry is beyond amazing. They remind me of Brennan and Booth on Bones or Castle and Beckett on Castle as teenagers. Trish and Dez are the funny duo, reminding me of Scooby Doo characters. Dez would pull a pretty good Shaggy. I find it much more enjoyable show then was Hannah Montana or Wizards of Waverly Place. Those ones were just boring, comparing to Austin & Ally.

Disney's newest venture into the sitcom/music market is "Austin & Ally", a show about a teen songwriter (with extremely bad stage fright), and an aspiring musician (who needs help writing songs). What a perfect match. Although they don't always get along, Austin and Ally end up working together. Although I do believe the golden age of Disney Channel (High School Musical, Hannah, Jonas, Camp Rock, Wizards) is ending, I believe Austin & Ally gives the new DC some hope. The new DC shows now try to hard, such as shoving China McClain down our throats with her mediocre singles. Shake it Up, although decent, gets tiresome. And Jessie is boring, clearly showing us Disney did not strike lightening with Debby Ryan being the new "It Girl." However, I feel as if Austin & Ally can bring Disney in a new direction, while still staying true to their song and dance formula that has been working (has been, I repeat). Instead of trying so desperately to create the new Miley, DC can put a lot of promotion into Ross Lynch (Austin), much like their attention to the Jonas Brothers a few years ago. Nothing sells better than a heart throb, and Ross Lynch is likable, attractive, and can sell crowds of 6-12 year old girls. The writing is surprisingly good for a DC show, although it is still campy, cheesy, and over the top. The chemistry between Austin and Ally can also be much better, I feel as if the actors are not truly aware of their character yet. But these are early episodes, most kid shows progress over time (A.N.T. Farm, Victorious). Not every DC show is going to compare to HM and their will not be another star like Miley for years to come. Disney has to understand this, and move on to the next thing. Instead of trying to create little pop starlets, they should shift their direction on a guy and hopefully Austin & Ally makes progress in acting and writing.

Austin & Ally is a great show for children and teens alike, combining the fun and silliness of the characters kids like, the romantic relationships teens like and music - something everyone can enjoy.

While Austin is an outgoing, fun and insanely talented guy and Ally is this quiet, smart and also insanely talented girl, the unlikely - though extremely Hollywood - pair make it work.

As I am a big fan of the series, my rating may be biased. However, I don't think I'm wrong.

It's somewhat educational as it teaches kids life lessons about relationships, lying, stealing, etc. It also faces the reality that there will be people who will try to hurt you in life, but it writes a way to help deal with it.

Also, very recently, it literally saved a young girl's life because of some information it gave about bears and how to stay safe in case you come face to face with one.

I think that between the realism, quirkiness, hilarity, music and encouragement to be yourself as the characters do, the show is great for kids to watch. Even adults can appreciate it.

I hope to see Austin & Ally get a few more seasons after season 3.

The latest D-Com show rolling off the assembly lines at the Magic Kingdom is Austin&Ally in which a would be teen bubble gum idol kind of plagiarizes a song from a girl who writes well, but has incredible stage fright. They seem to be a natural combination, but having seen the first two episodes which reflect real life somewhat in that finding one's muse for creativity will be a major plot component for many episodes. As Richard Rodgers once said, 'melodies don't come to me, I go to them'. I think that Laura Marano's character of Ally would agree with that.

However Austin's character the would be new Justin Bieber has his origins on the internet, probably Youtube. A current young teen idol named Greyson Chance made his breakthrough doing just that. It's the wave of the future and the Disney Studios if nothing else were cognizant of what the future holds. Can you imagine bypassing all the barriers one previously had in trying to get the world to see your gifts? Now young Mr. Chance has promoters coming to him. Hopefully it will last.

And hopefully young Ross Lynch as Austin will get many more songs from Laura Marano. Austin&Ally is a nice teen comedy from Disney which is remarkably on the cutting edge of our technology.

Ally Dawson (Laura Marano) works the family music store Sonic Boom on Miami Beach. Her best friend Trish De la Rosa (Raini Rodriguez) can't hold down a job. Ally is also a shy songwriter. Austin Moon (Ross Lynch) takes one of her songs and becomes an overnight internet sensation. Dez (Calum Worthy) is his irreverent clueless friend. The four become best friends as they tackle the music world with Ally as the songwriter and Austin as the performer.

It's a wacky Disney kids show. It's completely harmless. It's lovable. It's silly. The four leads are a nice, lovable lot. Laura is adorable. Ross is equally adorable. Raini brings the spice. Calum is the tall, lanky clown. It's a fun show for the kids and a safe one for their parents.
