This show is pretty ridiculous by any standards. I don't expect much from a show obviously aimed at young children, but still I expected at least some quality (like maybe at least *one* funny sketch per show). Bynes is a pretty talented performer, and I'm sure within two years she'll be getting good roles on some network sitcoms, but for now this show is her only vehicle-unfortunately, it is not funny or original at all. Most of the sketches seem to borrow from earlier Nickelodeon shows, and they weren't funny the first time around, either. I was surprised that Rich Correll (son of Charles Correll-"Andy" from radio's "Amos and Andy" show) directs episodes o this program, as he is usually a very talented comic director. Obviously, I'm not blaming Correll for any of the show's flaws, however.
