It was fun!
nicolerazz20 November 2020
A bit cheesy, of course, but it was generally a really fun series. Easy to watch, enjoyable, interesting tangled family drama. I wish it was more than 8 episodes, I would have kept watching!!

Happy people at Happyland
bkoganbing2 October 2014
On the strength of the following he developed from Disney's Good Luck Charlie and from the Christian film God's Not Dead, Shane Harper has a new series on MTV Happyland that may last if it finds an audience. Although it looks G-rated there is already an issue raised so that I can't see the Disney Network would have aired this one.

Harper plays the younger son of a Wall Street tycoon who worked at the place as a kid and now in retirement has decided to buy the place and run it. Harper is a nice kid, but something of a party animal.

A long time employee of the park is Camille Guaty who is also something of a party animal and she has a teen daughter Bianca Santos who is more the adult in the relationship. Apparently she has to be.

If the show finds an audience and lasts it will be interesting to see how it develops. It's pleasant viewing.

incest?? what??
lizzie-e-stephens13 October 2014
Warning: Spoilers
even in quality, this show is bad. very cliché, very predictable, the Mexican family struggling for money, the mother who had a daughter as a teen and is still clinging to her youth, the hunky heart throb bad boy who turns out to be someone else. the list just goes on and on but the weirdest part? the incest. not only do they have the main girl make out with her half brother before figuring it out, but now they are trying to keep the sexual tension between the two? they are literally siblings. they also are trying to take a show idea that seems good for preteens, and making it more adult-like, but it does not come off well. the premise was okay, but the execution and details make this show just awful.
