I rate Shows out of 5 categories as you will see through out the review 1. Characters - Henry Hart/Kid Danger - Henry Hart is bland. His personality is well... bland. His room is somewhat interesting but nonetheless, bland. His look and clothing is bland. He is bland. Kid Danger is a whole other story. Cheesy and Cringy. The name alone is garbage. Kid Danger, really? Does he have a superhero friend named, Female Fighter cause that is lazy writing. Anyways Kid Danger's jokes are cheesy and cringy. They sometimes make me wanna throw away my T.V. NextRay Manchester/Captain Man - Just like Henry Hart, Ray is bland. Enough said. Captain Man is Goofy and Cringy. And not goofy in a good way. But seriously again Captain Man? And his Mancave is in Junk 'n' Stuff. What does he live of Road Street. What nautical nonsense is this even, Lazy Writing. Jasper Dunlop - Your typical bad goofball character who gets beat up for no reason. He does get treated with respect at times but still sucks. Charlotte Bolton - She is your average sassy girl in these types of shows. She adds nothing new to the table. Just a stereotypePiper Hart - This is were I can star tearing things up. PIPER IS THE MOST OBNOXIOUS THING EVER TO BE ON MY T.V. SCREEN. She is an ungrateful little crap who gives no f***s about anyone else but her friends and herself. I just wish that John Cena would AA her off their roof. No, she still wouldn't learn anything. Piper screams at any giving moment and I can't find anything interesting in that. I just wish I could grab a crowbar and beat her to a bloody pulp. Plots - The plots are very wacky and out of this world. While you can pull these off right. The only one that worked was the Bucket Trap. Watch it your self. It's the only thing worth while on this sorry excuse for a show. Comedy - There is non. It's labeled as a comedy with no comedy. It is all just cringe. How great. Pacing - The pacing is slow, but at other times fast paced. There is no middle ground which just sucks. When the pacing needs to be slow for the episode to work, it's fast and vice versa. It's a very poor aspect of this showEntertainment- The characters are either bland or bad or sorry excuses. The plots can't work for nothing. The comedy is non existent. The pacing is crap. There is no entertainment value out of this show. What am supposed to do. This show can be summed up as a quick thing for Nickelodeon to create a quick buck. Man I feel bad for this generation. Older generations got Salute Your Shorts, All That, Pete and Pete, Kenyan & Kel, Zoey 101, Unfabulous, Ned's Declassified, Drake & Josh, iCarly. Nick used to put so much care into their shows and now they give no crap if their shows are good. I am disappointed in you Nickelodeon. Skip this show. Don't watch it. Your better off watching paint dry. At least that has depth.

Ever since this went on the air three years ago, at first, I thought it sounded like a cute but interesting premise: a 13-year-old who lands a job as a sidekick to a bumbling, inept superhero crime- fighter who fumbles in spite of all his best intentions. But unfortunately, after seeing over a dozen episodes (yes, that's right), I haven't at all found any of them to be funny, amusing, or even remotely entertaining. In fact, just the opposite: just a cheesy, shallow, over-the-top no-brainer that has gone nowhere, where all the other superhero shows before it, has already sunk so low like anybody wouldn't believe, while leaving a huge mark on its young audience. Here's why:1.) When Henry gets hired in Junk-and-Stuff (which sounds like an obvious nod to the Sid and Marty Krofft kids' show Mutt and Stuff currently on Nickelodeon right now), he meets his boss Ray, only to find out he's Captain Man, Swellview's Number One hotshot superhero crime-fighter. (Just what kind of a name is that for a superhero anyway????) He then lands another part-time job, only as sidekick Kid Danger to the Captain, which comes with a bonus: $10 an hour. OMG, come on. As the show progresses, we see the Captain and Kid Danger entertain at kids' birthday parties, giving contest prize giveaways/tours of the Man-Cave, and fooling and messing around all types of stupid off-the-wall gadgetry. Oh, please. Most other superhero TV shows and/or movies show their main characters going over and beyond the call of duty, doing what they're SUPPOSED to be doing, not lose themselves in any silly perks or any stupid fringe benefits that come with their public image. Not only does it bear a strong resemblance to the 1960's Batman, it also does have the same tone, and the same look of another show the Kroffts did in the 1970's called ElectraWoman and DynaGirl, in which they just a measly seven episodes. However, at the same time, it was more of an action- adventure show, in which if anybody out there ever saw it, those two ladies really were ALL action, all business, and also had MUCH MORE ON THE BALL THAN YOU WOULD EVER EVEN EXPECT, HANDS DOWN, NOT ENJOYING ALL THE SILLY PERKS THAT COME WITH SUPERHERO CRIME- FIGHTING. SERIOUSLY, NO QUESTION. Just because it has the same tone, the same look, doesn't at all mean it's on the same level. In fact, far from it. So leave it to Dan Schneider, himself a 1970s child born in 1966, to twist the memories of us old-school fanboys and then condone it for cheap laughs. Ha. Nice.2.) Henry's parents are already totally unaware of the double life that he's leading, so correct me if I'm wrong, isn't there a federal law which mandates that anybody over the age of 16, who takes on a part-time job, but should do so with the full consent of his/her parents, that they ought to be fully aware of what kind of line of work he/she is in, or in Henry's case, his TWO part-time jobs? (Or never mind if Captain Man breaks the law in this particular case for that matter, right?)3.) I seem to remember reading from WIZARD magazine when the Dark Knight movie came out ten years ago, director Christopher Nolan has said he intentionally left out Batman's sidekick Robin, only because to Nolan, wherever Robin is involved, it raises up the "camp level" using the 1960's Batman and all the cartoon versions after that as examples. Gee, I really didn't think that came with a hitch in the last and final season of the Superfriends cartoon, nor in the 1990's Batman cartoon, which showed Robin, as Dick Grayson, away at college. In fact, a lot of it in both the cartoon versions actually were VERY sharp and well-written, with plenty of thrills and action (to boot). So, my point? Never mind if you're proving Christopher Nolan right, Dan Schneider, if he gets the last laugh. Being one of the top sci-fi directors in the film industry, he just gets to have his way anyway regardless, just by leaving out any kids, or any goofy sidekicks for that matter. But to me, this is only just Batman or ElectraWoman, only being re-done as Full House or the Teen Titans cartoon. Again, real nice, Mr. Schneider.4.) And Henry's annoying little sister Piper? Even though she might a bad role model for kids everywhere, she's the least of my worries. I would say Ray/Captain Man and his goofy narcissism is much, much, MUCH worse. Besides, I've gotten tons more laughs watching Powderpuff Girls, the Disney superhero high school comedy Sky High, and Kim Possible. Real, genuine superhero comedies/cartoons with plenty of heart and laughs. But Henry Danger? No way, forget it.
