Managed to catch this show on TV the other day, and, having never seen it before and catching it in the middle of the show, the characters were talking about basketball tryouts. When one dorky kid starts whining that he didn't make the team and then starts crying while the other one starts telling him about all the greats and glory of Michael Jordan, who perceived in the face of failure and doubt, I half expected one of them to stop and say, at least you could save 15% on your car insurance and then cut to a Geico label.
Sticking with the rest of the show after being amused enough by this point, I found this to be a pretty good, albeit cheap, stupid humor show that is much more sarcastic than Disney's 'Even Stevens,' and may be more comparable to 'Scrubs' type humor, only within a show about kids. It's great to see Nickelodeon taking a risk here and pulling away from the conventional school age programming about usually obnoxious kids and their overly-sentimental or altogether ridiculous moments. Well worth seeing if you appreciate these types of comedies.
