K.C. Undercover (2015–2018)
3/10
This show should have stayed undercover
22 March 2015
Disney's record hasn't exactly been stellar lately. Unfortunately, K.C. is another lackluster program to add to the list.

From the very beginning, this show smacks of unoriginality. There's a kid with a secret double life (similar to Hannah Montana, Phil of the Future, and Wizards of Waverly Place) and she has to choose between being normal and helping her family. Not only is the premise recycled, but the plots are too. The same awful special effects from "Wizards" and "Phil of the Future" (though I actually liked the latter show) linger. Nothing new here.

Sometimes, a show with a tired concept can shine because the actors salvage something. Certainly that is not the case here. The parents make other Disney parents look like Emmy winners, and the rest of the family just doesn't have it. The lead doesn't lend any charm to her part, and her friend plays the dumb blonde poorly.

Also, the writing, like so many other Disney programs of late, is filled with clichés and jokes that would only get a laugh from the laugh track.

Disney's concepts are getting more and more outlandish. No longer is Disney the premier channel for family entertainment. Barring "Girl Meets World" and "Phineas and Ferb," there's nothing interesting on Disney now. I'd advise you to watch those shows with your kids or find some reruns of "Even Stevens" or "Good Luck Charlie." Shows like "K.C." are uninteresting and don't teach any good lessons.
