Ruby & the Rockits (ABC Family)

Although I have only seen the first episode, this looks like a show with great potential.

Very cute show with positive messages. There are not many shows on tv these days that deal with all kinds of family situations without being too intense. This is light goofy comedy for the whole family.

I watched the first few episodes with my daughters, ages 9 and 13. We stopped watching after the episode dealing with underage drinking. To say that they treated this extremely sensitive topic in a flip manner doesn't go far enough. The teenaged cousin of the main character lied to his parents so he could go to a party and get drunk. His ride also got drunk and there are so many drunken parties at the address that the "taxi won't go there anymore". He called the title character, who doesn't have a license, to pick him up. She brought her younger cousin in the car also. When they got caught, the main problem was that the title character had taken a brand-new car. Really. That is what they cared about. The underage drinking was treated like no problem, because he didn't drive. The fact that she drove, with a child in the car, even though she didn't have a license wasn't a problem. We will never watch this show again. I hope that the impression left by the show is not what my children remember.

We watched the pilot and was very encouraged. Seemed "okay" nothing harmful. Tonight's episode was terrible. Ruby creates a sophisticated lie to cover up stealing her uncle's car because her cousin, a young high school student, is drunk at a keg party. I was terribly disappointed that a close-enough family show had to ruin it so quickly. This might be a good message for someone going into 8th or 9th grade, though they probably would not be attracted to this show.

Love it. Highlight of the week. wonderful singing, comedic talent, innocent, speaks to all families, good, clean, fun. Just what the Dr. ordered. Not to mention the cohesion of all 4 Cassidy Brothers and a wonderful example that that gives, of strong, bonded, familial unit!

This is a good show witch surprises me because i thought it would suck. but it is decent

I think it is perfect for the whole family to watch. It is one of very few shows on tv, that we can watch with our girls.

I love this show, but it's only been the first episode...so I'm not really sure whether the content is bad or not. I know for sure that the first episode is safe. However in the second, apparently a boy crushes on his cousin.. which may seem awkward and disturbing. But, Ruby is a good role model, making sure family comes first and by connecting the family back together.
