Martin Roach Sorry I hate to be cruel but I couldn't help myself and this show really is scraping the bottom of the barrel so hard that the bottom of the barrel is wearing away. "Some Assembly Required" is truly a terrible TV watching experience and in my opinion it fails badly on every level.The writing is absolutely atrocious with fake and hackneyed dialogue and jokes that literally make me cringe time and again. You can usually tell exactly what the joke is going to be and basically get buried under an avalanche of terrible punch lines and then an over the top, desperate laugh track.The acting is also terrible. I know these are just children, or teens playing children and young adults playing teens, but they're just not very good. Every single cast member misses the mark. Of course this isn't entirely their fault... like I said the writing is terrible and the casting department really missed the mark here as well.The effects are also complete rubbish. I mean, every single thing about this show is just cheap and bad. I can't believe this lasted more than one season, or that it even made it on the air at all. Spectacularly bad TV.

elliesophmiller Well, it does one or two things well. I enjoyed the character Piper, (Charlie Storwick) and one episode where they have a beauty pageant. (except for the preachy and forced ending.) Other than that, the show ranges from mediocre to terrible. The humor is forced, and the laugh track really doesn't help either. The characters (Save for Jarvis) are stereotypes. Geneva is the dumb blonde obsessed with her looks, Bowie is the nerd (yet he somehow manages to be almost as dumb as Geneva), Piper is the tech nerd\Goth Chick, Aster is the shortest of the bunch, and a fashion obsessed jerk, and Knox is the dumb jock. I understand that it's a kid's show, but kids aren't dumb. I think it needs to make actual characters and have them develop throughout the story instead of making cardboard cut outs.

qwerty-86331 The show was obviously written by a bunch of monkeys. The jokes are dirty and make no sense whatsoever. All the characters in the show are all stupid and are completely oblivious to their surroundings. The humor is dry and does not have high ratings. It's obvious the makers of this show were trying to rope in a quick buck. It's not a funny show and should not air. Take your chances and watch something better or perhaps instead of watching this maybe you should go have a root canal instead. It's better than watching this garbage. If I were to rate this show, I would probably give it a 1. What I mean by all the characters are stupid, THERE ALL STUPID! No clue in the world whatsoever on how to do things

jcarroll-905-816684 Thunderbird and YTV have joined forces to create a clever, kid-friendly show which highlights the positive aspects of teenagers. Led by the outstanding talents of main character Jarvis Raines (Kolton Stewart), the cast works together to make meaningful and fun toys. The one adult in the show, Mrs. Bubkes (Ellie Harvie), is a wonderful addition to the strong ensemble. Bowie Sherman (Harrison Houde) is the perfect side-kick to Jarvis, and is both nerdy and funny. Piper Gray (Charlie Storwick) is believable as the tech-savvy member of the team. Geneva Hayes (Sydney Scotia) is beautiful and ditzy, providing a nice contrast to Piper. Malcolm "Knox" Knoxford III (Dylan Playfair) is hilarious as a not-so-bright jock type. We should be thankful he left hockey for acting. Aster Vanderberg (Travis Turner) is a little harder to warm up to, but showed a softer side in Episode 3. Each role is unique and adds to the overall chemistry. Well done! Catch the show on Mondays at 6:30 p.m.
