This is by far one of the worst and offensive Disney shows ever made and there are a lot of them,basically everything you see on Disney channel is absolute trash but this,this is the absolute garbage,none of the jokes are funny,its cringy and awkward and I cant believe there are actually people that enjoy this show,its the absolute worst,this show needs to be cancelled for the sake of people who still watch Disney channel garbage because oh my that's everything I see there now,they think teenagers are dumb enough to actually enjoy this?If you are a real game this is more than garbage,the fakeness of the actors even tho they actors is noticeable,this show really hurts my eyes and ears,I wish I could get this show a score lower than 0 but sadly I cant.

Gamer's Guide To Pretty Much Everything is yet another of those Disney teen comedy shows and this one addresses the audience of millions of kids who choose gaming on line as opposed to socialization in the real world. The stars are Cameron Boyce who is late of the Jessie series, Murray Wyatt Rundus, Felix Avitia, and Sophia Reynolds.Boyce has been home schooled and so he can travel on the professional computer gaming circuit. That's a concept I find hard to wrap my head around. In any event a thumb injury has forced him on the sidelines so now he's in real high school where he meets other gamers not in the pro ranks as he was. Of course they bond together.Of the young people I know into gaming and their an older group in their 20s not high school kids they are all male. I've not met a female like Reynolds who is into it. She's a character hard to take because she's a beautiful girl and you would think would have a real social life. In the end when Disney pulls the plug on the show she and Boyce should be together. And he'd be lucky to find a girl as good looking as she is who shares his interest.I'm sure Gamer's Guide will find its audience.

Wow, this show is horrible. I knew it was probably gonna be bad because Disney sitcom, but wow, I did not expect this.First off, the pacing is terrible. They get him from playing in some championships or something, (It was weird how he was playing the game when the remote was clearly off.) breaking his hand, and into school in 2 minutes tops. The important parts are rushed and they add unnecessary parts and drag them out for far too long. The premise isn't very good either. All the main characters just happen to be gamers, but the show doesn't really revolve around gaming all that much. Also, it isn't very realistic. There are plenty of teen gamers on YouTube who live perfectly normal lives, I don't see how these kids are so much different. It's just random people living normal lives, why should we care? Oh yeah, because they just so happen to like games that apparently makes the show automatically more interesting.The moral is really bad. The main character and three others decide to make a plan to get him back into the pro-circuit or something like that and they agree. Then, at the end, they act like he's being a jerk for leaving. Why are they so sad and shocked that he's leaving? That was the entire point of what they were doing. But then he decides to stay because they were disappointed. Call me heartless, but just leave. It just kind of comes off like they emotionally manipulated him to stay. He wasn't doing anything wrong by leaving and you knew that he was going to. Also, the characters are terrible. Conor is rude, Franklin is a fan-boy, Wendell is..... I don't know what he is, and Ashley is dumb. Those are the only character traits that these people have. They also act like they're somehow oppressed for being gamers. That's a pretty normal thing and it's never been considered weird or unusual. Thing is about Ashley though is that she doesn't want people to find out she's a gamer because she thinks that the volleyball team (Which she is apparently on.) will think that she can't focus. This makes no sense since I think it's pretty semi-common knowledge that gaming actually helps you focus. Disney is a professional company, they should be able to easily take literally 10 seconds (Probably less.) out of their time to look up known facts. The acting is also terrible. The only thing I laughed at is when Wendell says "Ashley, that is so DUMB!" And not because it was funny. Because the actor said it so terribly that I cracked up.Speaking of comedy, like most Disney sitcoms, they play the laugh track way too much. Seriously, anything even hinting at a punchline gets a laugh track. Heck, even things that aren't jokes at all get a laugh track. And some of the jokes didn't even make any sense. So basically, this show is the embodiment of everything wrong with Disney sitcoms these days. And that was only the first episode I watched. I think it's safe to say that it'll also be the last.

If this show had come out when I was younger I would watch it all the time. I am currently 30 and I enjoy this show. It takes your mind away from the busy everyday hustle of adult life. The concept is great, the story line is great. Franklin is a little nerdy cute kid. The kids together have real chemistry. It's not so much about gaming itself. It's about the importance of friendships and bonds while gaming. They are playing games that the target age group would be playing. It geared towards 12-18yr old and I believe that is the exact demographic that will really enjoy this show. What more can you ask for? Fun slapstick humor and some kids with a great future ahead of them. I hope this is on for a while!
