Max and Shred

[RyanWinter100 · 5/10 · 21 February 2015]

I didn't quite get this show. I mean there were some nice elements, but there just wasn't enough juice to make it work. Max and Shred were fine, but their lives revolved around a house surrounded by snow, a yogurt place, and a high school hallway. Where was the excitement? The mother, father and older sister were useless, and the boys (main characters) didn't have anything to do. The actor who played Max seemed like a nice kid, the type you might like to have as a friend. I was surprised to learn that the actor who played Shred was only 12 years old; considering that he was pretty impressive. This show needed a villain and less time with the parents, especially the father. He was supposed to be funny, but he wasn't. Maybe they can refit it.

Max and Shred - Potential replaced with bleak story and random characters

[divyanka · 6/10 · 26 February 2015]

Although I haven't watched all the episodes of this show, I can say that it is not as entertaining and does not use all of its potential. The personality of Alvin and Max make room for a lot of potential and strong story line, but the show kind of fails to do this. Episodes are generally a little dull (except for a few moments), and the humour kind of fails, as well. That being said, Alvin is a very good actor and my favourite in the show. His character and acting is what makes the show somewhat interesting. Max's character is pretty entertaining, but his acting is not as good. The parents are not funny at all. Perhaps the focus should move from the home to the school. The two main characters can express their personalities more when in the typical high-school setting, rather than in their home.

That's how you do a sitcom

Clever writing, surprising episodes. Althought not all perfect. Likable characters. Fun and easy vibe throughtout the series. The characters evolve with time. That's how you do a sitcom for children with good life-lessons and fun environment, yet light and not too heavy.

how does that saying go "if one fails how does other succeed" or something like that

so back in 2012, there was this show that went by the name of Bucket & Skinner's Epic Adventures. about 2 surfer dudes and the adventures it had a smart guy, a straight man, a love interest for the straight man, and the little bratty girl, who's into the moron. I know what you're thinking 'What does this have to do with this?" well give me a minute, because i'm getting to it. The premise is that Max, the smarter version of skinner, except just as dumb. Who has a little girl that is interested in him, maybe. We have Ashley Alvin's sister. who was like Bucket's love interest in the show. Instead of working in a surf shack in Hawaii. It's a frozen yogurt place, in Colorado. Didn't i mention that Max is a snowboarder? like surf boarders like that show i was talking about, the only difference is that Bucket's replacement Shred, or as i like to call him "Diet Sean Giambrone". Being a generic nerd and inventor, and instead of an uncle it' a generic sitcom family

Great Show!

When I first saw commercials for this show, I was like, "Oh, man! Here comes another dumb Dan Schneider show that's gonna have bad comedy, annoying characters, and the nerdy kid is just going to be a punching bag!" I was 100% wrong. This came from Canada, who seem to make great shows (Life with Boys came from Canada, and that show seemed okay), and this was not created by Dan Schneider (thank goodness!) I saw the show, and it was pretty good. I love it.

The kid who plays Alvin (Shred) is a pretty great actor, and he kind of reminds me of Josh Nichols from Drake & Josh. Max is a surprisingly nice guy. He doesn't pick on Alvin like you would expect, he actually likes the guy. This show has something that modern Dan Schneider shows don't, and that's comedy. This show doesn't rely on randomly yelling out pointless crap, weird words, and names of foods (*ahem* Mr. Schneider). An example is the episode where there's a snow day, and Alvin has to face his fear of dressing up in an animal costume for some family fun skit. Hey! It may not SEEM funny, but at least it's better than that man I mentioned above.

I do not think that Nickelodeon shows this anymore, which is a real bummer. I'm not going to go all angry and talk about how they do this kind of crap to all the good shows, but I would just be sounding like a broken record.

TOO BIG FOR LITTLE MINDS

[lelouchlorenzo · 10/10 · 21 September 2019]

As much as I enjoy sitcom, I also love science and there's only few who does that beautifully (big bang theory), luckily most are created for older audiences. But this one is very friendly that really depicts a contrasting-stupidness of his mate, Max. Every character is greatly written and the jokes, sarcasm, and even the extra characters interplays so well. I wish they didn't toned-down in season 2. But overall, this sitcom deserves more!

Love, love, love this show

[nailahamid · 10/10 · 9 June 2015]

I love this show. It's funny and full of surprises. What's not too like. Please show more of Howie- she's so funny and cute. Her sense of humour is on point. I love her outfits. She is so intelligent. Please come to England. Please. The show is entertaining and I like the way the writers have written the episodes, like young Howie she is a shown as a strong girl and has compassion as well as great one liners ( which I might add she executes so well). I love the way in which she helps Alvin with all the scientific experiments, can these experiments be a little more daring?

Max and Shred antics are also hilarious. The episode with the baby was so funny and when they both liked the same girl at school. Keep up the good work Nickelodeon.
