Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
krypto_cj Starting in 1998 with the first season of Radio Active we are introduced to a bunch of wacky students in their early teens, and they are assigned the duty of hosting various radio shows in between classes. Sure, it sounds kind of tacky, but with the cast chosen here, it sure does work out and in a way that is very entertaining. Its because that the students are so different and the way their personality often clashes, that makes it so interesting to watch. Some of the students are bound to straighten things up, while others are are bound to spoil (almost) everything for the others. Sure, at times the show might seem childish, but its all in good fun. Also, the second and third season might not live up to the greatness that the first season was, but it sure is a worthwhile watch if you are a fan of Radio Active or if you simply just want to laugh.
brownshuga375 I loved this show when it first came on YTV. The characters were so funny especially Kevin Calvin and Ethan St. John. When Kevin and Ethan left, and they brought those two new guys Roger Richards and Blair Resnickie, the show completely went downhill for me. I was no longer interested in watching Radio Active anymore. The comedy in the show started to get really bland. I know that Vik Sahay and Michael Yarmush had to leave because they wanted to go further into their career and that is a good thing. But unfortunately the other guys couldn't fill their shoes. Not to say that I think their TERRIBLE actors, it takes time to get really good. But they just weren't funny enough.I don't have a favourite episode in this season, because to me they were all great. They should put this show on DVD. If they did I would definitely buy season 1, only because it's the only season that I thought was, by far, the most superb.
Jacqui Potter Alrighty. This was one of the better Canadian children's television shows that was made. I think that this show was worth keeping on the air. It was funny, dumb a lot of the time, but funny, because of the acting involved. Comparing "Fries With That" to "Radio Active" I have to say that Radio Active was a lot better than Fries. The actors chosen were a lot better, the delivery was great, and the writing was perfect for the type of show it was. A comedy directed toward high schoolers, this gave a great laugh to all those in high school at the time it was running, and a jaw dropping look at the lengths a rotten teacher would go to to stop some fun. This show wasn't exactly the most dead on when representing high school life, but then again, what fun would that be? "Degrassi: Junior High" is a show that you can compare "Radio Active" with, but is more drama than comedy. Radio Active all in all, had good acting, writing and directing and shouldn't have been taken off the air. It could have been the actors and not the broadcasting company who chose to can it but what a shame. It's good that "George" is now on Fries with that, and is one of the reasons that I along with others watch that as well.
Marisa-2 I really like this show. George is sooo soooo funny. Tanya was pretty funny as well. Morgan was a bit over-the-top sarcastic sometimes but mainly pretty good. Sarah was annoying but I liked her Boogie Boogie Boogie phase. I wish Kevin & Ethan would come back because they were the best characters (next to George). I don't like Roger-he is just annoying. Blaire was such an egoholic which made him funny although when he first joined the show I didn't think he would have any potential. My favourite episode was when Tanya had to fill in for Ms. Attoll & Ethan was sucking up to her by giving her apples, apple pie, apple juice, apple strudel and (because he couldn't think of anything else) pineapple and George was going to sleep on his maths book so the information would "seep" into his brain..."SEEEEEP!!" I also liked the We hate Kenny G episode & the boxing episode. The only downside to this show was the lack of extras in the background and minimal use of backdrops. Other than that, I love this show!! 9/10 (If Ethan & Kevin came back I would give this an 11/10).
