Where can you get that song
You should do Bunk’d next and maybe say something about Cameron Boyce’s passing if you haven’t already I bring this up because Bunk’d originally started as a Jessie spinoff of sorts but it is still going on
Finally signed up! Actually have something I wanna learn. Thank you for the free month!
Before Wednesday There was stuck in the middle.
do good burger 1 and 2 but dont say anything bad about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🍔🍟
I found it very refreshing that they didn't use an overplayed laugh track, almost rare for a Disney sitcom. They let the jokes speak for themselves. It's like a live action Loud House series, and they both debuted in 2016.
But the live action is unnecessary
@@murderman8578Nah it's matter of viewing preference (The Really Loud House 22mins sitcom or 11min segments)
It would be pretty weird if they had a laugh track tho, you can tell from the way they record the show that it’s a different style sitcom them a show like Good Luck Charlie.
Edit: also what I meant by “how it was shot” was how it’s single- camera. I didn’t know what it meant until Alex explained it at 3:09
Yea but stuck in the middle was actually good😂
It was also rooted in Hispanic culture, with a lot of the family doing things related to it
I love that in the very first episode, Harley compared herself to Wednesday, as the middle child. Cut to six years later, and she's literally Wednesday! Also, her mother is a yellow ranger, and her youngest sister was Sasha in the Barbie movie!
Yessss!!!
Yess!!!😭
Oh my god I knew I knew Sasha from somewhere.
her brother was Paco in FullerHouse if i remember correctly as well as Dillin in the HalloweenTown movies.
And her oldest sister was on On My Block
Jenna Ortega and Olivia Rodrigo are probably one of the last modern Disney Channel stars to actually find success outside of the Disney Channel bubble.
You guys keep mentioning Zendaya and Selena etc. but they left Disney Channel a long time ago. I’m talking RECENTLY.
And Arianna from the show. After all she was in the Barbie Movie, and Rachel was on “On my Block”, but she didn’t really get famous after that.
I’ve seen Milo Mannheim from Zombies in other things too. He was in a movie about the nativity story and Sabrina Carpenter’s feather music video
@@lilianabarajasmiranda9844he looked so good in that mv oh my gosh
@@starshinylightshe came before them.
I betcha Sofia Wylie is about to blow up, too. Was the lead in a fairly big budget Paul Feig movie last year and is rumored to star in a comedy written by Quinta Brunson, among other projects. She's one of the most gifted young actors I've seen, so it'd be very deserved
"If my family was a week, I'd be Wednesday."
*Netflix understood the assignment*
Talk about a self fulfilling prophecy
Fr, i was looking for a comment on this
Sitcoms sure do like the word middle.
1.) Malcolm in the Middle
2.) The Middle
3.) Stuck in the Middle
Putting being the middle child is trash on blast because it ain't fun at all.😂
@@lesterwilliamsjr649 agreeing that sitcoms like to talk about the middle?
Judy Blume's first book, written a year before "Are You There God," was 1969's "The One In the Middle Is The Green Kangaroo." It's about a boy in second grade, and he's got a brother in third and a sister in first, and he feels overlooked.
The Middle is such a good show, like it should be talked abt more
@@itstastyramen_4979 100%. It’s a great show but I never see anyone talk about it😢
Boy, what a fun show. The plight of the middle child was so well done and Jenna Ortega killed it
She always does❤. Also "I could charge 25 cense for my cup of sweet"😂
Hi, I’ve been watching this show as a kid for a really long time and now I see her on Wednesday I’m like: that’s her?
I was the middle child of 3 kids (2 brothers) so it was nice having an over exaggerated show about the life of a middle child.
i enjoyed it, didnt know it was Jenna
Agreed
I feel proud that I knew Jenna Ortega before Wednesday was a thing.
I don't because it wasn't this show I knew her from
I also saw her in Jane the virgin
same and before scream
Same I grew up w hee
I've literally watched her since the little rascals remake and Richie Rich
Can we appreciate that the cinematography isn't like the standard disney sitcom
At this point instead of watching these shows and netflix movies..I just watch Alex's videos about them and feel fulfilled
Nah you should definitely watch the whole show it's literally so good
Same, before I watch anything I need to know what Alex thinks about them, he helps me decide f it's worth watching or not.
Alex is so funny, whether or not I watch the series I love watching this channel
Same. I'm happy with Alex recapping it for me, he makes it more fun😅
@@Chxrry_OceanIt's really not So Weird and Even Stevens are the only two bareable Disney Channel shows to watch now.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the youngest daughter is becoming a bit of an up and comer herself having been in some of the biggest films ever. She played kid Gamora in the MCU and she was the angsty pre-teen girl in Barbie
I thought that kid looked familiar in Infinity War!
Ah yes! Ariana Greenblat! I’m so excited to see where she goes next she’s really trying to break through. I wouldn’t be surprised if she becomes the next best young actress like her costar.
I didn't realize that was Ariana Greenblatt in Barbie!
She also played young Nina from the musical movie In the Heights and recently played young Ahsoka in Star Wars: Ahsoka.
@@sunspotmill1291Don't forget Young Ahsoka too
She also played young Ahsoka in the Ahsoka series
The casting director for Wednesday HAD to be watching this show at some point, that's an insane coincidence.
fr
This is canon reality I accept nothing else lol 😂
"You know, for some reason I think of Wednesday I think of Jenna Ortega. Idk why. Call her"
@@lilyevans5198actually they were looking for a Latina actress because Gomez is clearly supposed to be Hispanic.
@@Unversed333 That was a joke😂
Watching Jenna Ortega say I’m Wednesday has convinced me we indeed live in a matrix.
I actually loved this show I mean it wasn't a big show or anything but this is the type of show to watch on the weekend when you have no plans and you just want to watch a good show.
I had the theme song memorized at one point
I used to love Stuck in the Middle, so I’m super happy you made a video on it!!
Agreed, this show and Andi Mack were my jams.
Same, I always wanted a big family, so this was the closest thing I could get to a big family
@@trinaqreal
This show was at the very end of my Disney channel age and I definitely still think it's good.
Malcolm in the Middle ahh ripoff
"if my family were a week i'd be Wednesday" she quite literally proved that herself by being wednesday
Rare occasion of a comment with more than 100 likes without any replies. I’ll fix that 😁
5:14 "It's really hard to take you seriously when you're sucking- "
That cut 💀
LMAO
11:40 "oh if only someone would show up at the last minute and..."
Lick it all off of her 🥵
"...save the day."
Or that...I meant that...
LMFAOO RIGHY??
Please do a review on Andi Mack. It was mature compared to most Disney sitcoms, and they tackled tough subjects in a gentle way never once talking down to their target audience.
Yes! Andi Mack is my favorite Disney show!
Honestly yes because that was the first show that Disney pushed boundaries with. I’m surprised by how much & yet they couldn’t age up the girl meets world show.
it really wasn't good
@@strongersmarterandbetterWhat didn’t you like about it? Just curious
My kid self hated it when Andi Mack came on for that reason. It’s cool that they tried doing something more mature, but I was trying to watch some cartoons lol
alex is deadass one of the best show critics
He's the funniest, he's refers & reviews always makes my day
@@florencembah2626 real
4:35 OMG, did Jenna Ortega really just predict her own show😂😂😂😂😂
Yep.
If Harley thinks she has a lot of hand-me-downs as a middle child, I wonder if she's ever thought about how many hand-me-downs the youngest kid gets?!
I got both gym shirt that was a hand me down
The fact that I've gotten hand me downs from both my older siblings and younger brother is an absolute win and loss at the same time
I don’t think I have any clothing that ain’t a hand me down😭
I remember this show. It was good for what it was. Fun Fact: the actress that plays the mom was also the Yellow Ranger in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy. Which would be a big deal if you’re a Power Rangers fan.
Thank I never knew that
I heard she was also the Foreign transfer lady (with lack of clothes) in Not Another Teen Movie. 😳
@@MYFAVORITES5 Yeah, I heard about that too. And I was trying not to bring it up. Because, once you mentioned it, you’ll feel nothing but weird whenever the mom makes an appearance in an episode.
Really? Wow!
Fun Fact: His list of missing Disney Channel series is technically missing a lot of the Disney Power Rangers series, since some of them aired on ABC Family, owned by the Disney Corporation.
Unless the list is straight just stuff specifically made for Disney Channel, and not stuff for Disney XD/Jetix.
It would be funny if Alex just started questioning why tf Tommy Oliver didn't pull out the Green ranger powers during Dino Thunder/SPD(technically).
The fact that Jenna really blew up as Wednesday 😎
Her fans literally broke TikToks
Alex listening to Olivia AND Sabrina already made my day but the Joshua joke was so funny 😭😭 (p.s. I like Joshua he’s cool)
SAME IT WAS SO FUNNY
FR LIKE WHY IS NOONE TALKING ABOUT THAT
Time stamp for joshua?!
12:49 or 13:13@@idkwhatiamdoingwithmylife
@@idkwhatiamdoingwithmylife 13:10 🫡
Little Jenna Ortega is so freaking adorable!
Very relatable stuff, man. Really like your channel.
Even in these old shows, Jenna is so talented.
4:44 foreshadowing at its finest.
I loved this show. It was fun and goofy. And as a plus the cast were Latinos, and they got to act like regular people. Like their ethnicity wasn't part of the joke the show (look at the silly people! Are they not funny and strange!). And no one had over exaggerated accents and dramatics to "prove" they were Latino. It was a refreshing change.
Fun fact, last original disney show to have a Latino family without the theme not being about latinos
@@JeskidoYT Then "Primos" came and broke the mode, I heard...
@@sunspotmill1291 yes, and has yet to be released in North America
Rachel is white from what I remember and is a racist the hypocrisy
The real actress
As the oldest of 7, this show quickly became a favorite for our family. Jenna killed it.
“I’ve listened to every Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina Carpenter song, trust me Harley this guy ain’t worth it” 💀💀
The internet being as scary as it is, CZcams recommended this show to me after I watched Wednesday. I got hooked and actually love this show. It's hilarious and all the unintended Wednesday references are pure gold. Highly recommend.
How ironic, the show's called stuck in the middle, yet Alex only covered the beginning and end
LMAO
"Congrats honey you just reinvented soup" Had me rolling 🤣💀
I know you probably picked this due to the current media blitz, but this was a really amazing show highlighting a loving family of color in a positive way. I’m glad someone is showing it some love.
Stuck in the middle might be one of the better things she starred in tbh
8:13 best jokes of the video. "i'm wednesday"🤣🤣
6:11 IM SORRY WHAT-
I loved stuck in the middle! First Disney channel show that I actually finished
It born Wednesday.
OUTSIDERS FAN SPOTTED 🫵🫵🫵🫵‼️‼️‼️ /pos
First Disney channel show I actually "finished" to 😂
The damn Wednesday references got me 😂😂😂😂😂
Stuck in the middle is an amazing show and as a middle child that was always so creative. I found it so relatable
this was one of the most relatable nostalgic disney shows i've ever watched as a middle child
6:04 video just started and I got hit with the most IMMACULATE singing ever 😭
I’ve had a slight crush on Jenna since this show (I’m like 1-2 years older than her so calm down), I say that because when she blew up from Wednesday everyone started feening for her.
It’s similar to when you discover a song and no one cares to listen when you recommend it. Then a couple (or few) years later the same people are blasting it 24/7 (like Tek It by Cafune)
Same(I'm a year younger)
Yes same
Same (I’m only a year older)
Me with Ed Sheeran and Kdrama. 😂
I loved Idina Menzel because I have the Wicked CD after seeing it live.
At first she was just a name that I would see on my Ipod and then I learned that she was in Enchanted and Glee when I was in high school.
But, still, I cannot deny that she really skyrocketed once she became the official voice of Elsa, every girl's favorite character, from Frozen and sung that famous song, Let It Go.
I always proudly say,
"I knew her first! EEP!" :)
By the way, I originally knew Jenna Ortega from Stuck in the Middle too even though I'm a young adult.
I couldn't be prouder of her! EEP! :)
Yes, stuck in the middle
Wednesday
I remember watching this show when I was younger
Wednesday
@@skylerloggins4902 Wednesday
Whatchu talking about, Michael Jackson?
4:48 in fact she is damn she called it 😂
This was like my fav Disney show for a few years bc it was GOOD like an actual show for kids in big who felt left out and it wasn’t over explained to make us feel dumb
Alex your humor is seriously what gets me going
Ok two things 1:I forgot about this show and now YOU have brought memories back so thank you!!! 2: Alex never fails to make me laugh my head off!
I'm glad this underrated Disney channel show is getting more attention all thanks to Jenna Ortega's rising success!
i used to love this show, that's how i first discovered Jenna, her chemistry with her siblings was very endearing, and it was quite funny
11:40 "oh if only someone would show up at the last minute and..."
Lick it all off of her 🥵
"...save the day."
Or that...I meant that...
I watched this show a lot and when I saw she started doing movies like X and Scream, I was happy for her
And pretty soon, the sequel to Beetlejuice!
We all know what X was missing from her 😂
Ah, yes. Stuck in the Middle. One of my absolute favorites as a kid! Definitely brings back memories of eating lucky charms early on a Sunday morning while this was on. 😌
The "congrats honey you just reinvented soup" got me edging Mayn and ain't no one standing they business on this
I never thought about how Jenna Ortega said “I’d be wednesday” and then Literally became Wednesday a few years later! 😂😂😂
9:25 This killed me...😂
This show is so nostalgic to me
Same dude same
6:59 If this show wasn’t for kids, Bethany would be racist, and you can’t convince me otherwise.
I actually remember really liking this show, the first episode feels like a fever dream but the rest of the show (before some of the cast left) it was good
In one of my first jobs in a large corporation, we met the new CTO in a town hall. His opening joke was that he had seven kids.
"We finally figured out what's causing them, so we put a stop to it."
It got me good at the time. Your riffs on the opening of this show reminded me of that.
The mom was easily the best character. I mean SHE WAS A POWER RANGER PEOPLE!
Hope she’s ok
Edit: In case you didn’t understand, just look up “Power Rangers that had something bad happen” or something along the limes of that
9:46 bro just roasted all of us no matter what age you are
I love it where anytime middle children are depicted in media almost all middle kids just go "yeah, that's pretty accurate"
12:39 Don’t you love it when Disney Channel makes jokes that make you think you’re watching Nickelodeon? Yeah. Me too.
11:40 "oh if only someone would show up at the last minute and..."
Lick it all off of her 🥵
"...save the day."
Or that...I meant that...
Not gonna lie though she could probably charge about $2500 for a cup of her sweat now 😂
8:21 Harley's on it? Is that why the new Disney show is called Hailey's On It?
8:12 "You're wednesday", UuuIIOoooH!!!
The shade for joshua basset😭😭 “I’ve listen to all olivia rodrigo and sabrina carpernter songs this guy aint worth it”😭😭
This was indeed such a weird show! Next time, you should do Mighty Med (one of my favorite shows on Disney XD!) 2:08 for sponsor skip!
Nah he needs to cover Aaron Stone Mighty Med sucked it was just a Lab Rats knock off.
@@m56214SHUT UP!
You know it’s a good day when Alex posts
Imagine saying "I'm the only one who's hot in the family" when your sister is growing up to look like Jenna Ortega...
11:40 "oh if only someone would show up at the last minute and..."
Lick it all off of her 🥵
"...save the day."
Or that...I meant that...
Ok that one line about being Wednesday was creepy as hell! Almost like she was meant to be that character later in life! Or it could just be an astonishing coincidence…
I love your videos
I just realize sometimes I sound like a bot
Also I really liked stuck in the middle when I was younger and somehow never realized any flaws with it
That theme song was way catchier than it had any right to be.
Oh my gosh, Secret of Sulphur Springs is one of the best show, the paranormal/horror, time travel, mature tone evolving with the audience, and not that many episodes, I really hope you do an emission on the full show!!!
That show is boring af
@@m56214LMFAOOOO 😭😭 how??
it honestly did the job. like as a teen girl aspiring to be in stem, half my interest is probably credited to this show cause i thought harley was SO COOL
This made me realise I'm old now. 2-3 years ago Alex used to do videos from my childhood disney shows (lemonade mouth, wizards of waverly place etc.) now I don't know who to heck these people are and I've never heard of this show before
Is nobody gonna talk about how good Alex's singing is??
I think I heard him say that he was a theater kid in a few videos so that would explain it
This show is fantastic, such a good family sitcom especially if you have younger ones in the family. I loved it and I binged it at 21 with my older sister lol the single cam/no laugh track filming really gives this show a perfect touch of magic that I wish was in more shows on Disney or Nick when I was younger
I always wanted to get into Stuck in the Middle, but sad to say I never watched an episode till now 😢. But thank you so much for covering it Alex!
THE WEDNESDAY THING LMAOOOOOO
Alex really outdid himself with the animation in this video!
10:31 Uh, sorry but your childhood isn’t officially over until you’re 18 (or you have a kid of your own before then)
Perception of adulthood is cultural. Logically going by numbers its 20. Going by law its 18. Going by culture, I guess its 15 here.
6:18 WOOO yea sing it Alex!! I want a whole album of Alex pretending to be characters and just start singing the most random bs
True fact: the middle sibling does end up taking care of everything
Alex has gotta do the short-lived Disney Channel show, I didn't do it!!
Yess
I LOVEDD THAT SHOW
I ADORED this show. Great video as always, Alex!
I like your new format of watching more than the first episode! It really makes a bigger picture of the show.
Thanks for the funny content and hard work!
I remember a time when I thought that boy was really cute without my knowing who Joshua Bassett was. Then seeing him on HSMTMTS and falling in love with him and also searching my brain to find where in the “HECK HAVE I SEEN HIM BEFORE!?” Yeah, I know him from here.😅😂😍
“How’d she get so small?” Bro she’s 5’1 rn she always been small 😂
7:50 i do that and my neighbors dont complain
There trying to hold it
Not to your face
Alex Meyers is such an awesome singer. Lol.
ANT Farm, Andi Mack, and Villains of Valley View are the best ones left on your list. I feel sorry for you for having to watch Bunk'd
The Villains of Valley View is honestly not only the closest thing to a decent current running live action kidcom that hasn't gotten cancelled yet, it's a better Disney Channel sitcom than Jessie, A.N.T. Farm, Sonny With a Chance, Shake It Up, Jonas or Hannah Montana. And I like all those shows...to an extent. Varying degrees of extent but extent nonetheless.
I did hear from one CZcamsr that Bunk'd actually got better since season 4. I still don't plan on watching but at least Disney Channel's favoritism to the show isn't ALL for nothing.
@@AJ-xc4qeno way you just said villains of valleyview (which is just a rip off version of the Thundermans which is actually a good show) is better than Jessie, Sonny with a chance, ant farm, shake it up, etc.
@@afroblender8023 I've been told by fans who try to look at The Thundermans without rose colored glasses admit that it wasn't a good show. I only saw three episodes just to stare at how hot Phoebe is and I don't remember anything about them because they were boring. And as of late, there's no video reviews backing the show up.
And now there's a newer Disney show that people accuse of being a ripoff of this show. But honestly, I think the Lab Rats creators might've watched it and thought "we should do that! But the complete opposite where they're evil! And with GOOD writing!"
In all seriousness, I think there's more to VoVV than Thundermans fans say it is.
I liked bunk'd first season, but It really fell off afterward
@@smoxthybweh season 1 and 2 were good. They had the ross kids and the og campers like hazel, Xander, and Jorge. After that it fell off hard for me. It didn't hit the same.
Long before she was Wednesday, she was harley diaz to me. Stuck in the middle is criminally underrated
“Bribe, Cloak and Dagger her way through?” Is this a hint for the next video because I am so here for Alex reviewing marvel’s Cloak and Dagger! I freaking loved that show!
this show is actually funny in hindsight. "I'm Wednesday." Heck yeah you are!
i actually have 7 siblings and i had 6 when the show aired and im the middle child so i honestly loved this show growing up it made me feel seen
that Wednesday thing was actually kinda hysterical.
Woah...... Harley Became William Afton 11:18
Being the middle kid of 7, and a girl, I honestly can't relate to this. I might be able too if we hadn't been homeschooled, or if we had enough money to spend on activities, but it really wasn't that bad also, the table being extremely messy is way to accurate😂😂
Do a Scott Pilgrim Takes Off video
I really enjoyed stuck in the middle, and I personally thought it was really well done.
The Wednesday commentary + the Joshua Basset commentary 👌🏾 peak. PEAK!
