Les sorciers de Waverly Place

This show delivers on so many more levels than most would expect from a Disney Channel show. It reminds me of the good ol' sitcoms i grew loving, Home Improvement, Fresh Prince of Bel Air & Saved by the Bell. Its a show the parents can enjoy watching with their kids, instead of counting the minutes until its over.

vs Hannah Montana: This is not the usual cookie cutter sitcom that Hannah Montana tends to be. The jokes are not all based on "wacky moments". They have done a great job with character development and getting you to care about what they are doing. Selena Gomez surpasses Miley Cyrus by leaps and bounds as an actress. And i can see her growing up and following in the foot steps of the likes of Amanda Bynes or Hilary Duff, in finding great success.

Characters: -Max (the youngest) is for the younger audience, from 7-10 -Justin (oldest) is the goofy one, which every great sitcom has (Screech, Jazz & Al) -The parents are great characters that are given great moments on the show. And have a great amount of depth -Alex, the main character is all around likable. The psychology of her comedy is is far more mature than you would expect. And Selena does a great selling every joke. There are moments that her timing is that of the Office.

Conclusion: It may not be everybody's flavor, but many will be pleased. The kids fall in love with the show and it will grow on you too, given a fair shake. Its no 30 Rock or Office, but it is...Wizards of Waverly Place. And the best way to describe it in short, is fun.

Wizards of Waverly Place is a RARE gem in the vast sea of TV wasteland. This show is superbly written, incredibly well cast, and very well acted. If you like subtle "inside-joke" type humor - this show is for you. Yet at the same time it also does more than enough obvious physical humor to keep younger and more simple-minded viewers enthralled. For example, in one episode there is a bumbling weatherman named BAXTER KNIGHT. A hilarious homage to Ted Baxter, played by Ted Knight, on the Mary Tyler Moore Show more than 30 years ago - this reference will be totally lost on 99% of the viewing audience since few were born prior to 2000. In another episode, Selena steals the show by greedily sloughing down all the chocolate deserts on everyone's plates in a fancy restaurant. In that regard, Waverly Place is very similar to all those classic LOONEY TUNES cartoons we all know and love - it can appeal to you on both a very simple AND a very cerebral level. Young children who watch this show today can go back and watch it again in 20 years and they will have an entirely new appreciation all over again, on a whole new level. The entire cast is a joy to watch, but a special tip of the hat to Selena Gomez who is a true delight. This girl shines both as an actress and as a singer. Plus, she is a real sweetheart and totally deserves all the future success she is guaranteed to achieve. Unlike the Lindsays and Britneys of our sad generation, Selena sets a shining example of perfection as a performer, coupled with graceful elegance as a young lady - giving her legions of young fans a more than worthy role model. Selena has released three albums to date, and each one has been better than the last, which is no small feat considering they were all amazing. Most artists today release an album featuring one or two good songs, and 10 really bad ones. Not Selena - ALL of her songs are music to my ears. Here's hoping Waverly goes on at least 5 more seasons - add more music to the show and it can't miss! Thanks yet again to Disney for creating an environment that fosters creative and unique programming of enduring value for generations of all ages.

I would describe wizards of Waverly place, in a word refreshing. In the recent years I have strayed from the Disney channel due to the recent decline in quality and yet I find myself watching this with renewed enthusiasm for the network. The Humor is standard of a Disney channel show but thanks to the personality the actors are able to bring to the table it more then makes for it.I especially enjoy the work of Selena Gomez, the way she delivers her lines are far beyond those of say Raven-Symone and other Disney channel stars. I guess its taken Disney channel awhile to find a diamond in the patch of coal they call programming. In the words of the immortal bard..Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana "YA Think?!"

Okay so I'm not a tween or anything. People would prolly say I'm too old to watch Disney. I'm almost 18 and the shows on Disney channel are not funny at all to me or anyone my age. Maybe little kids find them funny but the jokes are so tired and unoriginal. I.E. Hannah Montana, Suite Life of Zack and Cody. They're entertaining to watch but not funny.

Wizards of Waverly Place is surprisingly funny. I would not expect this from a Disney show but it is celever, witty, and I laugh out loud sometimes. The actors are believable and relateable and it is not only entertaining but hysterical to watch. I think it is a bit more mature than all of the other little Disney shows based on 11 and 12 year olds. It is appealing to me and I enjoy watching it =]

I must admit, after watching the commercials on Disney I was a bit reluctant to watch the show, but being a fan of the supernatural and the paranormal (ex: Charmed, Smallvile)i watched it.

Wizards of Waverly place had a good meaning to it, and should be taken lightly. This show is supposed to be fun, and - not to 'hard'. If you watch it don't get offended because its just a show.

This show was interesting, i wouldn't say its the best show i have ever seen, but trust me, i have seen worst.

It is a see but if you miss it don't worry! i bet there are a lot of repeats to come. It is a cute show and the actors are preatty good. 1 - 1/2 thumbs up.
