The Spectacular 'Austin and Ally'

I've never seen the show, nor had interest, but since nothing better was on any of the shows (besides those dumb Christmas movies, which at this point I've seen just about all of them... twice.), I turned on a show titled 'Jessie', and afterwards is when 'Austin and Ally' came on.

Remember back when 'Spectacular' came out? When it was finished, there was talk of a TV show possibly being created. However, Nolan Funk was busy on Broadway and Tammin Sursok was shooting for that horse movie, before going on to play a role in 'Pretty Little Liars'. The two lead characters had more important things to do than make a kids series, but maybe there was a series in the making? I've only seen three episodes, but i can see Courtney and Nikko living in the lives of these new characters. The uptight girl working at a music shop, writing music for her friend who wants to be a rock star? Kinda like the strict girl choreographing music for her boyfriend, who has a record deal.

However, the characters have added flaws. "Ally", Tammin's similar, is incredibly afraid of performing. And "Austin", Nikko's similar, ...is just stupid. He's definitely playful, but over-exaggeratedly dumb. Not to mention the fact that this is a Disney show rather than showing on Nick.

That aside, there are obvious characteristics of both characters in the show, plus that little kid hanging around Ally all the time reminds me of Janice in more than a couple ways.


So is this sad excuse for a show the continuation of such an amazing movie? ...I sure hope not, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was.
