That Girl Lay Lay (2021–2024)
6/10
Repeat-it's for children
15 July 2022
Someone said something to the effect that it's like "That's So Raven" -nope it's nothing like "That's So Raven." "That Girl Lay Lay" is original. Just because there's a black family with black kids does not make a copy of Raven's shows.

I've seen worse kids show...Side Hustle; Fred The Show; Young Dylan; Liv and Maddie for example...and a whole bunch of other bad kid shows that I can't recall their names because I've vanquished them out of my mind.

Season 2 is funnier. I'm sure they have better writers now.

I do like all of the characters.

The parents: are cool and down-to-earth parents yet corny to their daughter-that's how it usually is. They say real parent things while maintaining their intelligence. So often, writers will make parents (or the dad) stupid. These parents are talented, funny and give just enough.

Sadie: acts like a teen. She's giving zaniness and poise-she's like the 'straight man' and comic relief wrapped up into one.

Lay Lay: is the cute, sassy and fashionable friend. Although technically she is an avatar who is now in human form. Sadie wished for a helping, kind friend (something to that effect) and during a shooting star, the avatar from her positive affirmation app came out of her phone.

Marky-entrepreneurial money hungry little brother (Iol) who's always coming up with ways to make money. He's like any tv show little brother who gets in the way and bribes his sister. He's dapper, although Lay Lay doesn't think so.

I was sad when "Henry Danger" went away-no this did not replace...but they're both zainy, over-the-top stuff happenings. Kids doing thing and parents oblivious to what they're doing.
