100 choses à faire avant le Lycée

Poor man's "Ned survival guide". Same premise, same-ish characters, same dynamics. Only everything feels flat, main cast has no chemistry or relationship growth, school feels empty and more of a set than a school. Everything seems made with less effort and heart and it's just a half cooked version of Ned's doing mostly same things but worse. Scott my boy, even re-used some of the same plot lines. The show even got the same sound effects that add nothing this time around, way less gags and jokes and nobody learns nothing or improves. And main characters are more annoying, the teachers are a joke. No wonder it only got 25 episodes in total. Weak sauce / 10, just watch the older one, it has more style and loce put in it.

100 Things to Do Before High School is funny and entertaining, two words I never thought I'd use with a Nick sitcom again. Most "Nick-coms" of the past few years have ranged from clichéd (iCarly and Victorious) to inconsistent (The Thundermans) to just awful (Haunted Hathaways). But 100 Things, created by Scott Fellows (Ned's Declassified) is simply brilliant.

Like Ned's Declassified, the show focuses on the lives of three middle-schoolers: C. J. (Isabela Moner), Crispo (Owen Joyner), and Fenwick (Jaheem Toombs). Together, they make a to-do list of everything they need to do before high school. The premise sounds hackneyed, but the result is anything but.

The acting from almost everyone involved is top-notch. Moner brings effortless charm to C. J., one of the most likable leads in any teen sitcom I have seen. Unlike recent Nick female leads, she's not a drama queen and doesn't overact, lending her character a relatable charm. Toombs and Joyner compliment each other well; Toombs's Fenwick obsesses over details while Joyner's Crispo takes a decidedly laid-back approach. Even the supporting cast, including venomous bully Mindy Minus (Brady Reiter) and guidance counselor/voice of reason Mr. Roberts (Jack De Sena, better known for playing Sokka on Avatar The Last Airbender).

Refreshingly, there's no laugh track present, and the writing is so good that it doesn't need one. In fact, the writers are the same geniuses behind Fellows' Ned's Declassified. As in Ned's Declassified, the writers never hesitate to throw in surreal or random elements, often to hilarious effect.

If you've given up on quality programming from Nickelodeon, I highly recommend 100 Things to Do Before High School. It's creative and funny and I hope it gets the long run it deserves.

Every time I see this TV program on my TV converter, I just get annoyed. It's so casual, so but so not funny with mediocre actors. In my country there are frequent youth programs from the past few years, I clearly prefer a program like Henry Danger or iCarly. Let's start with the fact that photography on the program gets on your nerves, as if it's for children under the age of 10. There were a few episodes I liked a little, the rest were bad. The only actor in the series who almost manages to make me laugh is Owen Joyner, the rest is awful and especially the main character Isabella, I can not say whether she is a bad actress or that her character is just bad and boring, bored girl. Thank God it ended up with only 25 episodes, hoping it was the end. However, in relation to the junk series of Nickelodeon's last years like make it pop, rock school and worst game Shakers this series is a relatively fine series but on the other hand a bad series 5/10

I don't know how he does it, but the man seems to capture the fun and craziness of middle school. He did it before with Ned's Declassified, and he's doing it now with 100 Things.

Personally, I felt that middle school was a more innocent time. We were teenagers, but we didn't have jobs or cars yet. And I feel that is what Scott captures in this show, the fun side of middle school.

I know I'm not in the age group here, but I think that this is a great show. It's not like Henry Danger or that other crap that's on Nick nowadays, it's a simple show about the fun times you have in middle school and how to survive them. Unlike Henry Danger, this show has interesting characters. I like how CJ is so determined to get things done. You don't see that too often on TV these days.

So, that was 100 Things to Do Before High School. It's worth a checkout. The characters are not annoying, the story lines makes sense, and it has a nostalgic factor in me.

Um, let's see, well to start off, I must admit it is an entertaining show, but let's look at the reason for that: It is almost an exact copy of Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide which was a show I loved in my childhood. Scott Fellows must have thought, "oh no one will remember that show 10 years later" when he created this. Sure it's funny, but all I can think of is how similar it is to Ned in almost every way. That aside, perhaps that's the only reason I'm drawn to watch it, perhaps it wouldn't interest me if it didn't remind me of Ned, I mostly search for the similarities when I'm watching it and find it hard to enjoy as its own story. However if you never seen Ned's declassified school survival guide, this is your next best option for cheesy (genuinely quite funny) shenanigans from middle schoolers now that Ned is off the air for quite a few years already. Definitely a nice comedic show for today's generation who hasn't seen Ned I suppose, but still in 2nd place when you compare the 2.
