This show is a waste of a half-hour. You could do something constructive with that time. The way I see it, this show gives girls the wrong message about life. Popularity is everything, like boys even if they're brainless and care what people think about you etc. I don't think you want your girls to get the wrong message.

Well any show that shows what an average person is like will have much objection because I am different. Lizzie Mcguire is no acception. She is a poor example too. They talk too much about their bad fashion sense and they show a big image that girls like a good looking doofis better than an average joe who will like them better. Since the show has lots to do with clothes I would say have your own fashion, this show stresses the importance of others' opinions so they would never say that. This show makes the average girl look like a selfish, self-absorbed, weak minded, and somewhat mean. I don't believe average girls are like this, but hey the girls I like aren't too average per say.

While the ethnic (Jewish and Mexican) diversity is nice, everything else about this show is awful. No girl that age should wear so much makeup or such revealing/tight clothing. She's mean to other kids and rarely atones for it.

This show is Good. it is great for pre-teens and teens! I liked it the first couple of month. I watched it but they kept showing repeats. But it is still a safe and funny show to watch!

Lizzie McGuire, a TV show made primarily for girls in middle school features the misadventures of Lizzie's brother Matt and the parallel plot of her at school, at the mall or with her friends. The show's humor is mildly funny, the acting is considerably mediocre, but Hilary Duff (who stars as Lizzie) is definatly an endearing young starlet. Although it's "made for kids", Lizie McGuire also may teach your children about the importance of popularity, as Lizzie constantly struggles to find herself and her image in the highly stereotyped world of middle school the show creates. Racial diversity is plentiful (Lizzie's best friend is Hispanic, Matt's is African American) but the show would have been better if featured around the "Screw-Society" future filmmaker Gordo, Lizzie's adorably witty guy friend who usually ends up teaching the lesson at the end of each episode. The plots may get restless and old, but the show does not fail to entertain the masses. Be sure to ask your child about the importance of popularity. Is it really nessecary to change yourself to make others like you? Why is Lizzie so insecure? Is Kate (the "popular" girl) really someone to be afraid of?

Here is a funny show that's got wonderful characters and a great family. It's full of strong positive messages about friendship, loyalty, honesty and has wacky parents and a great little brother. There may be too much, in my opinion, emphasis on the girls' clothing and accessories, but my daughter loves that, and it is outshadowed by the story and great writing.

This show tries to teach kids lessons about growing up. However, I think it misses the mark. A girl that age should not dress so sexually and wear makeup. If the show wants to send a positive message for young girls, Lizzy should have parents who care enough to ensure that she dresses well. Furthermore, Lizzy’s character could have been played by someone a little more average looking than Hillary Duff.

Okay, I am a teenager and I used to LOVE Lizzie! She's sweet and funny, just trying to get through Jr. High. Anyone who says that her clothing and makeup is bad has to realize that Lizzie is supposed to be thirteen. If you have a 13 yr. old, you know that many teenagers dress much worse and wear way more makeup. Lizzie sets a positive example for young girls, as she always learns a lesson by the end of the episode. Any parent who doesn't like Lizzie McGuire has got to be extremely overprotective.
