I had to watch this tonight to judge for myself. Indeed it is just awful. It is too inane for adults and too boring for kids. And plus it is just forgettable, because the producers know how to do that, and hope you don't notice it is not funny. No wonder I spend so much time on Nickelodeon in the 2010s. There are good new shows being made today, but far and away most movies and TV are loud, bright, vulgar, and violent. This is exhibit A. Whatever Cartoon Network spent on it was too much. Congrats ChalkZone. I finally found a school cartoon worse than you.
Sidekick Has become the laughing stock of Canadian television because of its crass political allegories, mean-spirited characters, non-existent humour and wasting its full-series structure as a means to waste its potentially potent message that anyone's capable of goodwill (but first they must have it).
This show might try to work on some levels beyond the premise, but there's nothing of real worth here, because the characters don't justify its 11 minute half-hour episodes or using the viewers' time. This is a super hero show done poorly, and devoid of any subversive charm; it succumbs to its own cynicism.
Sidekick Exists; and that's far too much for some of us who watched it.
