I watched the premiere of 100 Things to do Before High School. There are definitely similarities between this and Ned (the wacky plans, the characters, the music etc). The black kid is obviously Cookie's reincarnation and the other two characters are like Ned and Moze but with the genders switched. The guidance counselor is the new Gordy (but he's way less funny).

Quality wise I get a meh feeling about it. It doesn't repulse me like so many other shows do but I couldn't get into it like I could with Ned. Part of it was the plot. I guess I just loved the hijinks of Ned and crew 10 years ago and I loved their guide to surviving middle school, both of which lack (although the plan they made to conquer their fears does sort of fill the first void in a mediocre way). The other thing is I just couldn't get excited about the story and what comes next. I just caught a case of the "I don't give a shits". It's obvious these characters can't replace Ned Cookie and Moze. The guidance counselor is a pathetically sad reincarnation of Gordy. You watch the show knowing this stuff and you really have a hard time caring about what's going on. It's not that the show is bad it's just that it doesn't live up to what this writer used to create.

Expectation wise it pretty much lived up to what I expected, maybe it was a little bit below what I expected. I didn't expect something as amazing as Ned, or even something as decent as BTR, but I didn't expect it to be total shit either. This is basically what we got. It wasn't totally horrible but it wasn't good either. Just meh. I expected a tiny bit better given this writer's record but I guess what I got was within the margin of error. I guess I'll tune in for the next episode to see if it gets better but I'm not exactly impressed so far.
