While this show is slightly better than some other modern Nick shows like Henry Danger or Game Shakers, this one is hard to describe. The characters are fine, but nothing special. The stories aren't that interesting, but can be fun occasionally. The comedy feels hit or miss for the most part. The show does have its times where it's annoying, but there are times where the show is funny.

The show is just ok. While I do understand why others don't like it, I do think it's one of the few better shows from Nickelodeon 2014; however, it isn't much of anything. The show did progressed to be a bit more interesting, but it's more of the same. Kids can watch this fine, and they can get a good laugh once in a while. It's a decent show, but it's nothing special .

Its good for a Nick show It has a good humor sometimes but what concerns me more is Billy, sometimes I pity the guy and I know this is all acting, but seriously the way they portray him is beyond horrendous, Nick should stop putting stereotypes on characters and they should start developing them.

Average show that would come on at night. Nothing more to say.

I have no idea how this show was on for so many seasons. The family is irritating and not entertaining. It's Lab Rats with a family twist that went horribly wrong. I have watch many tween shows and this one in unwatchable. Way over the top acting.

It's okay far better than even some prime time programming on the major networks & made with some heart which comes across viewing.

Overacted, Canned laughter. Overt your eyes. How this even made it past one episode is beyond me.

Who gives a 1* review based on bad jokes? It's a kids show and the jokes are really funny for kids.

It is just typical American junk but it is really good at what it is trying to be and that is good cheeky humour for kids with a feel good vibe.

I prefer them watching this to some of the other stuff they watch.

Back when I was a kid, kid's shows were actually quality shows. They had enough content to keep kids entertained, along with a few subtle jokes to entertain adults thrown in.

My little brother and sister watch this "comedy" called The Thundermans. Oh boy, how I wish they'd read instead.

First off, the writing quality in this show is nothing but poor. There's not even any sort of smart humor in this. The only thing as far as a joke goes is someone saying something really loud, or someone falling over something. There are no quality jokes, no witty punchlines or quirky characters. Just a bunch of people talking LOUDER THAN NECESSARY.

Secondly, the acting. The acting is atrocious, it's like they grabbed random kids touring the studio and asked them to sign a contract. Seriously, how much do they get paid a show? Free admission to six flags, a happy meal and $50 spending money?

Finally, the laugh track. OH the laugh track. Literally every 5 seconds of the show is that God-forsaken laughtrack. Someone walks really fast? Laughtrack. Someone shouts a random word? Laughtrack. Someone says something stupid (intentional or not)? Laughtrack. Someone says their name? Laughtrack. The bell at school rings? Laughtrack. I'd hate to see how this show would go if an episode took place at a funeral.

Bottom line, if you want a quality kids show this definitely isn't it. And it's not really fair to point out this specific show it's almost EVERY kids show nowadays. We wonder why our generations are becoming less and less intelligent? It's these stupid kids shows!

Stick with Looney Tunes, or 90's Nickelodeon. Save your children while you can.

An abnormal family with superpowers and kids that have a bad behavior, watching their adventures. Most of the episodes are super-silly, super-boring and the jokes are pretty bad. All the kids are terrible actors, except for Kira Kosarin (Phoebe) who is talented and really pretty and I love watching her (I'm a guy). The most silly things are: the talking evil bunny and the 5th kid that appeared later and grew up fast. Other than that, some episodes can be interesting, but they are very few...

Nick, please stop. Stop trying to come up with a next big hit because it is never going to happen again. Admit it you are going down the drain. You guys canceled all of your hit TV shows. Like my favorite 2 Nick shows, Victorious and iCarly (I know it wasn't canceled. Even big time rush. Then you come up with these terrible replacement "TV shows" like this one. First of all where do these actors come from? No one even knows who they are. Plus they try to hard to be funny even though they are nothing close to funny. They are plain out annoying.

To narrow it all down, don't even watch this show. It's just another terrible excuse for a comedy TV Show.

Jack's back must be hurting for carrying this show. But it's not as good as I remembered. It's basically lab rats but lab rats was so much better. I never noticed how bad and unoriginal phoebe was as a character. She is so selfish and nosy in every episode.

The dad is a typical eats every food possible dad that's in every single show. The mom isn't that bad of a character but it's obvious the kids run her.

Nora is absolutely the worst character on the show. She can't act and is basically snobby like every other little girl character on the shows. Her and Billy are on the sub-plot most of the time in the series and Chile adds nothing to the show.

Max carries the show.

A few years ago I would watch this show. I tried to get the humor because I was in the target audience but there is none. It's bland and the only joke is the producers. Please don't waste your time with this and watch something else instead.

Nickelodeon keeps pumping out these awful sitcoms. How many times on these kids shows have we seen family or main character has to keep a secret. We've seen it already on That's So Raven, Dog With a Blog, Hannah Montana, Henry Danger, KC Undercover. This concept is way overused. This is just a rip off of the The Incredibles. A family of superheros trying to live a normal life. Wow... how original.

Max is the only cool character on the show.

Phoebe is super annoying, whiny, and unlikable. A bland goody two shoes who's smart. Yawn... And Kira Kosarin chews the scenery and obnoxiously overacts. She has dumb blonde sidekick friend named Cherry.

The youngest two kids are HORRIBLE actors. Nora is such a terrible character. Very obnoxious and not cute. And I want to rip that stupid giant bow out her hair. Billy is the tiresome idiot character. And why are they sharing a bedroom and hanging out together 24/7. Very creepy. Neither seem to have any friends of their own.

The parents are also weak characters.

No growth or character development at all for any of the characters.

Oh, and they pulled a Cousin Oliver and unnecessarily added a baby/little sister Chloe who adds nothing to show. Shes just there to say cute one liners. She doesn't fit in with the show. Pointless character!

Don't get me started on the offensively racist angry Asian stereotype that is the Ms. Wong character.

This is a nice entertaining series to watch. I thoroughly enjoyed watching. The cast selection was good. There was some room for improvement for the crew to create the series better. This series reveals and teaches viewers the aspects of growing up and building a life. It also reveals to viewers strength and courage that it takes to do anything in life. There were some characters that I was not a fan of. The storyline of the whole series reveals a real insight on the reality of life and what needs to be done to balance multiple things. As for me, there a few less things than others to balance. This is a good series for viewers to watch.

The Thunderman's doesn't pretend to be allegory or high art, it is what it is, a whimsical, cartoony half hour of fun. It successfully combines the family sitcom with the Superhero genre and creates a happy middle ground that has the requisite absurdity of a teen/preteen sitcom. The basic idea is simple, a superhero family, much like the family in the 'incredibles,' right down to the young boy who's superpower is speed, retire to the suburbs.

The main protagonists are the Twins: Phoebe and Max. Good girl Phoebe is being prepped to enroll in Superhero U, while Max the black sheep of the family has plans to be a Supervillain.

Max even has his own secret lair( the basement ) and a sidekick, Dr Colossus, who once was his fathers arch enemy but somehow has been turned into a cute little Bunny and steals most of the scenes he's in.

All of the characters are stereotypical, in the usual sitcom way, augmented with super powers which gives the show its edge, as does the idea that Hank may be the typical ineffectual TV Dad but at the same time use to be a guy who was out saving the world.

The show doesn't pretend to make sense, after all a dad who can fly( with no Plane or nothing ) to Bangkok for some real Thai takeout dinner isn't supposed to make sense, so a fantasy aspect is baked into the cake.

11 year old billy is a bit naive while his younger sister Nora is the typical Nick/Disney little girl who is much wiser then her years. She can shoot lasers out of her eyes, which of the five Thunderman is probably the least power, but she makes up for it, with her boldness. When she and Billy team up, she's the brains and he's the Muscle, which is fine with Billy.

The Stories don't pretend to be life lessons, it's the typical Nick/Disney fast paced tween thing. A breezy half hour, in the usual 2 story format.

Max is hardly Supervillian material, he loves his family too much to be truly evil. It seems to be a phase he is going through.

The true stand out is kira, she lights up every scene she's in.

The show is light and breezy and never makes the mistake of getting too heavy. It's a quick paced half hour of cute entertainment full of uncomplicated humor . People who don't like it probably don't like puppies, Kittens or ice cream either.

Love it. My son is crazy about the Thundermans. Only got two seasons via the internet service provider. Just discovered a few more on Youtube 👍👍

The THUNDERMAMS is the worst kids show EVER and Jack Griffo is the worst actor(if that's what you want to call him)I have ever seen. When you try and be funny when your not and try to hard like he does the end result is Jack Griffo his future IS already set in stone for a VH1 where are they now. Nick cannon should stop spending so much $ on hot pink shirts and ties and put some of that $ towards acting lessons for these Joe smoes he keeps plucking out of thin air..please do us all a favor and cancel THE THUNDERMANS.I feel embarrassed when I see the show on so I can pretty much guess how you feel when its airing. But hey we're all gearing up for that awesome 2nd season premier.yea right I'd rather watch one of cannons promo's..sure I would

Everything about this show is just awful, clichéd, and unoriginal. Its an overdone unoriginal family show with the only difference being that the family has superpowers (more like terrible special effects) which is a direct rip off of Lab Rats which actual has drama, comedy and action, in their episodes. Oh, and they actually use their powers to save people! Its terribly unfunny using the whole "superhero" thing as a cheap excuse for slapstick. Also if they are superheroes WHY DON'T THEY TRY to save someone or do any good with their powers? They ONLY use their powers for their own gain making all of the selfish and greedy main characters more unlikeable when the have bland generic personalities. The two kids are terrible actors and are only their so that the little kids would watch. This whole demographic thing has gotten so bad with Nick that they are forcing and shoehorning characters who are not popular or likable. The plot in each episode is always unoriginal. Even as a cheap ripoff it fails terribly the parents do not care that their son is trying (and failing) to become a super villain! Yet any other show would at least they to be emotional and have the family talk through all their problems this one just show BLATANT DISREGARD and thinks the five year olds this is aimed at are too stupid to understand family issues. Obviously Nick doesn't care since they have four CLONE FAMILY SITCOMS NO ONE WATCHES. Haunted Hathaway's, See Dad Run, and Instant Mom which have terribly bland and unlikeable characters with recycled boring plots.

This is a boring show that is not funny. The canned laughter just made it worst
