I got through 3 episodes...


The dialogue, the storylines, the acting (not THAT bad but mediocre).

How did this 45min episode go on for 6 seasons?

I want to know what its appeal is aside from promoting positive body image. It doesn't seem to have much substance past that.




Destination: Rad-City

I watched season 1 and two and even that dragged on a bit. Should of ended after season 1. Opening plot every episode started doing my head in.

I feel like it even lost the whole promoting positive body image thing by the third or fourth season. Not they they were anti positive body image or anything, but they weren't promoting it either, I felt like.

And honestly, for me, as we got to the fourth season and on, I was only watching because I wanted to see how they were going to deal with Jane and Grayson getting together, because I figured they were endgame. I didn't like it, I preferred her with Tony and then with Owen, when they got together. But either way, I watched in hopes that I was wrong and she would stay with Owen but also to see how Jane and Grayson would get together, if they really were endgame.

This is my signature.

I love this show. It's cute, light-hearted, and it addresses things that need more attention, such as weight/appearance, transgender rights, the foster system, and whaling. I also like Brooke Elliott. It's refreshing to see a larger woman in a lead role, and one whose beauty isn't downplayed. She's stylish, well groomed, and not ashamed of or apologetic about her appearance. The premise is intriguing and the cast is likable. It's a fun show that doesn't make you depressed or anxious (like The Walking Dead does, at least to me), but it does make you think about the issues it presents.
