This show seems a little out of the ordinary, but it is great humor. I remember the first time I saw it. I was channel surfing and I came across Kevin Sheehan kicking bags of flour for "breaking news." That's all it took to get me hooked. The thing was right before I watched this show I was in major depression. This show taught me to laugh and just be myself. These guys go on national television and make fools out of themselves, but they don't care what anyone else is thinking because they are having fun. That is what life is about, having fun. If I ever feel blue now, I just remember Kevin Sheehan kicking a flour bag and I am happy. Thanks Brendan Leonard Show!

one of the best tv shows ever

Why in the world did they cancel this show? I used to watch every episode of the BLS! It was so funny...and so random...which makes it funny!! I felt like the guys were my friends and it's like I knew them all my life. I will miss the show. It was awesome.
Great show

This is one of my favorite shows of all time. I really don't understand why i like it so much. I mean, the guys just run around and do the stupidest things and i laugh every time. But the fact that a group of friends have a tv show that started when they were 15 years old is awesome. I just love the entire cast (although i wasn't really that fond of Paul for some reason).
Maybe it's because my friends and i always made stupid, yet hilarious, skits like that, but i just can't stand that they've cancelled this show after one season. So many people watched it and yet they still got rid of it. I still go to brendanleonardshow.com and watch their latest skits.
And also, to some of the people that commented on this show...if you're a 19 year old male who still babysits...and you just HAD to watch the show. Quit your WHINING!! Maybe if you had a sense of humor then you would LIKE the show.
i give it 9 out of 10.

This show is too funny!

This show is so funny! The host is Brendan Leonard and most of the skits take place at his home with his friends and his family. I watch it every night. Its one of the funniest shows ever on television. The people on the show do such a great job. I love it! Not to mention the guys aren't bad looking either! :-)
SUPER COOL and KEEPIN' IT REAL

Okay dudes this is the coolest show on tv. Sure my mom says it's stupid, but what does she know (I've seen what she watches). But anyway the cast is great. I love the idea of like an all teen cast. Brendan stays cool while the others act completely crazy and random, it's great! As for the rest of the cast Robbie "Rotang" Karver, Micheal Carney, Kevin Sheehan, Kevin Carlson, Ryan Turner, Pat Mohr,and Paul Detjen keep it real! (LOL) They alwayz keep you laughing. This show will keep you in stitches. Just give it a chance. I totally give it two thumbs up. IT'S TOTALLY OUTRAGEOUS!
Because every 19-year-old guy needs his own TV show.

The Brendan Leonard Show on ABC Family is absolutely the greatest thing to hit reality TV since....well, just since. Brendan Leonard is a 19-year-old dude who started his own public access show when he was 15. It became a hit around his town, so now, 4 years later, the first all-teen cast/crew (including all writing and directing as well as staring) is airing Monday-Friday. With wacky skits such as "What if" and "Survival Guide" to the special "One Shot" episode (in which a plate is broken and taped, a car is washed, kind of, and a 3-pointer is sunk), this shows that every 19-year-old with as much energy and wit as Brendan deserves his own TV show. Brendan's friends include the ever-adorable (to most people) Kevin Carlson and everyone's favorite semi-alter-ego, Rotang. Let's not forget 'Team Fresh.' If you haven't watched The Brendan Leonard Show, I highly suggest you check it out. It's extremely funny and creative- and to think, these kids are only 19- imagine what they'll do in the future!
Just an all-around awesome show. . .Two thumbs up and four stars for Brendan Leonard!

This show is awesome! It's one of the only shows for people of my generation (I'm 21) filled with good, clean fun. Brendan and his friends have been doing this show for four years now and now that it's on national TV it is becoming very successful. This show is funny, smart and original and I hope it stays on the air for a long time like it deserves to. Thumbs up to Brendan, Kevin, Rotang, Pat, Ryan, Michael and Paul! If any of you are reading this review, I love you guys! =-D
creative small time cable show makes it big

Disastrous attempt to bring poor comedy to cable
Sir_SK28 June 2003
I had heard about this show and decided to watch it today. I did give it a fair chance and watched the entire episode, hoping that some redeeming quality would arise. What I saw was an amateur production of teenagers parading about, trying to be funny. It is redundant and gets old all to fast - in one episode, we are forced to watch 15 minutes of a man playing an accordion while the teens polka in a futile attempt at humor. Though some may find the terrible acting and bad jokes bearable, one wonders whether this series is acceptable in any time slot of a public access channel. There is one reason that the ABC-Family network is airing this series: it came cheap.
Brendan Leonard Show = JACKASS MINUS THE HUMOUR!
jon_the_horror_fan28 April 2004
This show is utter trash and sadly, I've had to sit through it a few times while babysitting. The only people that could find a show like this funny would be kids under the age 15 (or with a maturity level under 15 years old).
This show consists of Brendan Leonard and his dumb (and ugly) friends doing random skits. It's just like the great show 'jackass' except they don't do anything rude, outrageous or funny. I saw one show where all they did was "look in the bushes for something to do". Why in gods name.... They would randomly pull things out of the bush (a megaphone, a chessboard, some weird hat that squeeks) and try to make you laugh by using it in a funny manner. If I had the choice between sitting through another episode of this show and suicide, I would pick the latter!
Brendan Leonard's sense of humour comes off as snobbish. Nobody on the show poses's a sense of humour. I'm sure if I was a 13 year old girl and I thought all the guys were "hot" or "cute" then I would laugh at their gags. Thankfully I am a 19 year old male, and I hate their jokes.
Not that I don't enjoy shows that are tailored towards younger viewers. I like "are you afraid of the dark", which can appeal to a wide range of viewers. This show is so bad and thankfully has been cancelled.

WASTE OF TIME

Um.. What??

This show is.. EXTREMELY.. random. But I love random, so it's entertaining. If you're looking for something that is purely entertaining fluff, check this out. I sure wasn't disappointed. Just go into it with an open mind, and don't expect much - You'll be more than likely amused.
Only thing disappointing about it is that it's on the ABC Family channel - It could be a lot more daring if it wasn't. Though, if it had been picked up by a different, less family-oriented network, it could have also gone down the route of idiotic fluff, such as _Jackass_.
