tmunonyedi There are some people that have just taken this far too seriously. Firstly, the show was never supposed to be realistic. Anyone thinking it should be shouldn't be watching kids TV in the first instance. Reality ain't what 22 minute shows are about ~ laughs and fun are the substance of kids' shows. Secondly, the music is as close to heavy metal as it needs to be. The point of the show was not to turn the youthful masses onto authentic metal, a genre too deep and wide to honestly categorize with one phrase. Nor was it to accurately portray the inner workings of a metal band {it's not realistic, remember ?}. It's a 22 minute per episode parody and in that context, quite an original idea as many other genres have been covered down the years on kids' shows but not the harder rock end. It's corny yet subtle in many places and to be honest, unless one is prepared to look beyond one's own biases, you're better off staying away from the show. Personally, I thought it was funny most of the time, not flawless by any means and I think 2 seasons were just the right amount of time for the show to run its course. Lighten up folks ~ it was supposed to be ridiculous !Now having watched both series recently, I have to say that this was one of the best kids' shows I've seen. Surprisingly perhaps, it was consistently funny in every episode. I only found one lame episode actually, and that was the crossover episode with "Suite life on deck." Those crossovers are generally hit and miss anyway and this one didn't work well {made me see Zack and Cody in a slightly negative new light though}. While I wasn't really a fan of Logan Miller {although it has to be said, he plays his part well} Steve Valentine, Greg Baker and Stephen Full {and I'd throw in Caitlyn Taylor Love, the guys that played Metalwolf, Chucky, Simon Craig and Tripp's Mum too} were hilarious throughout. The three of them actually achieved a superb rapport and it's hard when seeing them in other shows or films to see them as anything other than Derek, Burger and Ash, so synonymous with the characters were they. No, overall, this was a superb fun series that never let up in quality and finished on a high at just the right time. I'm glad they didn't string it out until it became "not so good" then lame, like so many other series that began with a bang and hit a mighty peak.

witchcatjuh I don't understand how some people are talking about it being totally unrealistic and then they start bringing up Hannah Montanah. Talk about unrealistic. First of all, it's nothing alike (This is funny, that sucks), but second of all, I don't really see the big deal here. It's a Disney show. It's meant for kids. Why should it be realistic? It's a lot better than a lot of other kids' shows I've seen (Hannah Montanah, Zack & Cody, iCarly etc) That said, I just think it's a really funny show. I'm 17 years old right now and I just about cried because I was laughing so loud. It's not some stupid show just for kids, it's really funny. Yeah, some of the jokes are a bit lame, but that all depends on what you like. I think it's great. The characters are really funny, with the three dumb (well, two dumb and one even dumber) rockers and the one smart teenager. The jokes might be a bit easy, but they're just so random that I can't stop laughing about it.So, taken all that into account, I think this show is great! I wouldn't mind watching it again.

XanaduWolf156 THIS SHOW IS GOLD! It's better than all the other Disney crap they show (Fanny Montana, Wizards of Waverly Losers, Jonas, etc) The humor is fresh, the actors are actually extremely better than the actors on Disney Channel. Really a great show. I'm am so glad I found a astonishing comedy. (After Drake and Josh lost touch)So ignore all those haters, because they are obviously brainwashed by todays music, and never knew how great Heavy Metal was. And, the name of the band in this show is absolutely funny. "Iron Weasel." Spoof for "Iron Maiden." Gradually a show that needs to obtain an orange blimp on The Kids Choice Awards. 10/10

tvcritictrustme I'm an online TV critic and "I'm in the Band" is the funniest show I've seen in years. It made my son and daughter laugh out loud so hard we had to pause the show multiple times just so they could hear the next joke. And let me tell you -- that's rare.I watch shows with them on Nickelodeon (iCarly), Cartoon Network (Ben 10), Disney Channel (Wizards, Hannah, Suite Life), Disney XD (Phineas & Ferb, Zeke & Luther) but "I'm in the Band" is easily their favorite, and has quickly become mine too. It's not trying to be a show for kids. It's smart, funny and outrageous while still managing to be a cool show that adults can enjoy as well.Derek, Burger and Ash play that smart/dumb rocker comedy *perfectly* as the once famous rock band Iron Weasel, and Tripp is so much fun to watch, as is his best friend Izzy. I'm sure both will become huge stars overnight. Really fantastic acting on this show with high caliber talent.Sure, there are fart jokes, but at least they are witty and hilarious fart jokes. A lot of shows talk down to kids and offer simple stories we've seen a hundred times with a bunch of puns but "I'm in the Band" is written so well, perfectly blending outrageous physical comedy and great jokes while still managing to be smart and original.This show is Spinal Tap for a new generation, and my kids and their friends can't stop talking about it. I'm not a betting person, but I'll bet "I'm in the Band" is sure to be a hit for Disney XD. Finally, a show I'm happy to watch with my kids and their friends week after week.
