it has its good attributes and clear flaws. while the show is a Disney channel show and therefore destined to be stupid, this one is not awful. perhaps its the whole Canadian thing, i like how it brings something new to the pathetic Disney channel. i don't like how Casey is so "perfect" though, and frowns upon those who aren't "perfect" like she thinks she is. she also complains way too much. Marti and Lizzie annoy me as well. Marti sucks at being cute, she is really just a pain in the ass. and the whole "smarti and smerek" concept is stupid. i don't think the guy who plays Derek is good at delivering his lines. however, they wanted a cute guy to play Derek, and the guy they picked, though there is not much talent, is fairly cute. but when he smiles, i want to vomit. his smile is seriously ugly and it makes him look like a perverted bastard. Edwin is OK, but i don't like how nasally his voice is. and the parents are jokes, both the acting and the writing. however, even though this show is not funny, it can still be somewhat entertaining, and there is not many shows about a blended family out there. so good job there. and although i haven't seen the show much, i've seen enough to know that over the seasons, they've changed Casey from a "perfect" brainy girl to a "perfect" somewhat popular girl, when they should have picked one or the other. the way they could improve Casey is to bring that guy Noel from the musical episode back, he seems like her type. life with Derek is OK to watch if there is nothing else on and you don't have a good book handy.
