Its not fair to judge an entire series by the first episode. Sometimes it is really good and you think the series will be great but its not, and some times it is the opposite. Here I feel it could go either way.
It is funny that the series has flashbacks to 1992. Because the feel of the show is the kind of show that would appear in 1992. It is not dynamic. It does not have a gimmic. Most Disney shows have had a gimmick of some sorts. It will have to depend on liking the characters and telling stories,
Compare this show to Lizzie Mcquire. Both begin with 7th graders. Both begin with a key friendship. However, Lizzie was fresher, edgier, and seemed more real, even though it kind of lost that at the end. This is clearly a TV show and does not feel real. That does not mean it won't be funny or even a good TV show (I mean who had a high school like Saved by the Bell) but it will not be new or ground breaking.
My prediction is that this show will not be remembered. It will take its three years and 65 episodes and be done with an 8th or 9th grade graduation. Not hated, not loved, it just existed.
