Many of my friends quite enjoy this show, and they wanted me to write a review on it. However, I could not simply write a good 10/10, since I think there are some severely lacking things in it. First of all, there a number of wonderful things about it. Pros: Carrie and Dez. They are the only good characters in the show. They have heart, comedy, and brains...wait no. But that's okay, because they're sweet and really benefit the show. the new premise in season 4. It's very interesting and tough to consider, since Austin isn't allowed to perform. It's finally where we can see what ally can honestly do. Cons, because that's why I'm here: Austin and ally's new relationship. At least, not their amount of gushiness. Every once in a while, sure. But every five seconds, no I don't think so. It's quite annoying and disgusting. Austin's treatment of Ally, at least in former episodes, was atrocious. She had to put her dreams on the sidelines so that Austin the pretty boy could pursue his, a selfish predicament. However, now he's given up his career do her, so this could be a pro. Characters: as in Austin, Ally, and Trish. Austin is not talented at dancing or singing, really, and is weak, since everyone else does everything for him. Ally used to be adorable and quirky, what with her stage fright, bad dancing, and love of studying. But now, apparently, she's lost all of that and become just another pop singer:(. Oh and Trish, always getting another job every five seconds is gone. She just chats with her boyfriend, is rude, but yet still gets to stick around because...I don't even know. plot holes: if Austin is so famous, shouldn't he have a lot of money, instead of complaining about being broke? Trish, too, as she's his manager?! Also, the only people who interview him are 10 year olds who shouldn't and realistically wouldn't be in show business anyway. How could these be angry about Austin lip synching if he does it all the time? (Oh come on it's obvious!) All in all, pretty much decent if you don't mind nonexistent confusing plots and intolerable character development.

When thinking of how i could describe the show in one word, I come up with horrible. It's just plain horrible. It's honestly hard for me to come up with anything good to say. Let's start with the characters. Ally is easily the worst actress I've ever seen. When casting I'm sure they figured she looked the part but God were they wrong. Every time she opens her mouth, I just wanna punch her in the face. After seeing her in Are you Smarter than a Fifth Grader, I'm sure she is just in it for the fame no matter the price. Her singing is incredibly mediocre, now we know for sure that Disney pushes everyone to do it, even a talentless discount Victoria Justice like her. Her character is annoying and completely idiotic. Des is scary bad. We can pretty much expect one dumb friend in every show but he is in a category all hiss own. His jokes are predictable for anyone whose above 10 years old. His outfits are just outrageous and completely unrealistic. I'm sure that nobody would ever find him attractive, especially while he's wearing those androgynous get ups. The show's writing is what gets me the most. Where does Disney find these people? The scripts are so cliché and they never deviate from the same concept. I severely hope that the writers know they are creating trash because there is no way they could actually laugh at their own scripts. Disney, I know you have money. Please invest in a show that isn't for idiots.

I used to hate Disney Channel. I thought it was immoral, unrealistic, and over the top stupid. I wanted my old shows back. I hated these pretty boys and dolled up teeny bop girls singing and dancing to Disney pop. I saw a commercial for Austin and Ally and thought "look at this blonde haired, pop singing tool. God Disney sucks now".Then I watched the show. I like Austin and Ally. There, I said it.Austin is actually pretty likable and funny. He's awkward and he's oblivious. I don't like when he goes from joking to breaking into song and getting super serious. I like how Ally is always being picked on and saying things that no one laughs at. I think Dez is a good comic relief. I find it hilarious that he's oblivious that he's an a-hole and that he's a "hunky" cheerleader in a feud with a guy named "Chuck". I love the banter between Dez and the other characters.. like when Ally says "Have fun without me" and Dez replies "Don't worry Ally... we always do" and stuff like that. I don't like when Dez runs around in circles screaming in true Disney fashion.I've allowed myself to laugh and to see past the selling fame dreams and unrealistic body images to kids and I've discovered some good shows on Disney. It's not for 30 year olds, try to give it a chance.

Ever since Good Luck Charlie on Disney Channel was cancelled, all the shows together took the road downhill into bad. But Austin & Ally was renewed for a 4th season, and still wow the audience with some really funny episodes, Dez in many episodes shows how well Calum Worthy portraits him, but the bad thing about this show, is that it always is about what Austin & Ally feel for each other or Austin's career. Either way the show can get boring very quickly, but the funniness does not stop! Trish always gets fired from jobs, and does not bother about it, and to be honest Raini Rodriguez does not seem very positive while acting out Trish in her role. Ross Lynch from R5 is also in this show as well as Laura Marano who both do great jobs as acting.This was my review of this show and thank you for reading.I would give this show a 8/10
