Very Underrated Show, Its Actually Amazing

Don't bother reading those low star reviews. I have watched Incredible Crew since it came out on Cartoon Network in 2013, and I watched every episode. The sketches are hilarious, and clean too. The show is very comedic, and doesn't have anything bad. It does not deserve the bad reviews it gets. Seriously, people need to calm down and realize its a KIDS show, and stop being so oversensitive. The comments about wasting food and clothing are quite redundant. Tons of shows do that and don't get complaints. TV nowadays isn't as clean as this, I really wish people weren't so harsh on the show. I was disappointed when there was no Season 2, all because of the bad reviews. This show is amazing, and it didn't deserve to be cancelled.

What's the Story?

INCREDIBLE CREW is a sketch-comedy series featuring a main cast of six teens who put a comical spin on everyday events like running errands with a parent or sitting next to an irritating person in a public place. Using original music videos, hidden-camera pranks, phony infomercials, and funny shorts, the cast often parodies fashion trends, social structures, boy-girl relationships, and other marks of modern times.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (14):
Kids say (29):

Created by entertainment mogul Nick Cannon, Incredible Crew moves at a fast clip through skits and pranks that are relevant to what's important in young viewers' lives. Whether it's putting a cool spin on cruising through town in your mom's minivan or mocking fads like friendship bracelets and hair accessories, these sketches are sure to have your kids in stitches.

Its production value lags behind Disney's So Random!, and there's the obvious omission of live performances by guest musicians, but Incredible Crew makes the most of clever writing and a well-rounded cast. It doesn't break any new ground, but it does offer families 30 minutes of funny programming that bypasses iffy content in favor of parodies based on some simple concepts.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

  • Families can talk about what it feels like to be the brunt of a practical joke. Has this ever happened to you? What harm can come of a prank at someone's expense?

  • Compare this style of comedy to that of a typical sitcom. Watch other comedies together as a family. Are there any cases in which these shows single out a person or group of people for laughs?

  • Host your own sketch-comedy night, incorporating simple props, costumes, and even songs. What aspects of your life would make funny skits?
