Another recent terrible show from Cartoon Network.

A famous dude is overwhelmed by his music career. A music class cannot get a teacher because their Principal won't pay one etc. etc. etc. The famous dude teaches the class, they go on adventures and stuff.

The characters are stereotypical, and not interesting. It's one of those "Wow, we have all races, yay for us," shows, stereotyping is not my idea of a decent kids show trying not to discriminate and all that PC stuff. The music plain sucks, the story-lines are not interesting or original. I see no good points about this show.

I disliked Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi very much, but that's better than this. This show isn't even stand-able.

I think a better use of time would be to watch Boomerang or something. See what Cartoon Network used to offer and compare it to this.
