It's like Buffy for the younger kids, but without the blood, the ultra punchy scripts, and Angel.
Not that Seriously Weird is completely without merit. The premise is sound, often well executed (although some episodes fall flat, and when this show fails it fails badly), and with a mild-mannered comment on the stereotyped American highschool characters and settings that are always so common on our screens (even some Aussie soaps are starting to mirror their US counterparts these days).
Seriously Weird is a gentle distraction to an afternoon (at least while waiting for the Doctor Who repeats here on ABC at the moment) and while it doesn't manage the fantastic all the time, it easily makes the standard where other shows with seemingly more potential fail to meet.
