Game Shakers

Game Shakers is an American gaming sitcom created by Dan Schneider that premiered on Nickelodeon on September 12, 2015. The series stars Cree Cicchino, Madisyn Shipman, Benjamin "Lil' P-Nut" Flores, Jr., Thomas Kuc, and Kel Mitchell. The show was abruptly canceled after Dan Schneider was fired from Nickelodeon in early 2018. Its last episode aired on June 8th, 2019.

Plot
The series revolves around two seventh graders, Babe and Kenzie, who start a multi-million-dollar title gaming company and take on rap superstar Double G as their business partner. The series also features Double G's son, Triple G, whom the girls hire as a game consultant, and Hudson, who is a test dummy for experiments on games.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) The show is just an excuse to purchase games. And rather than promoting good AAA or indie games, the show promotes terrible shovelware mobile games.
 * 2) * Aside from that, it also gives other people who never played video games a bad impression on how good games look like.
 * 3) The Game Shakers are full criminals and yet, we're supposed to root for them.
 * 4) The title is misleading. It's barely about games. Instead, it focuses on the lives of the main characters.
 * 5) * The logo looks like it was slapped together using MS Paint and Photoshop.
 * 6) Annoying, unlikable, stereotypical and cliched characters.
 * 7) * Kenzie is the nerd (becomes the punching bag in Season 3).
 * 8) * Babe is the bad-ass girl.
 * 9) * Trip is the punching bag.
 * 10) * Hudson is the dumb blonde and an idiotic comic relief is really played-out.
 * 11) ** Hudson is so annoying as he says stupid things and giggles way too much.
 * 12) * Both Double G and Triple G are just spoiled celebrities and black rapper stereotypes.
 * 13) Graphically dirty and unfunny jokes, many of which are too inappropriate for a show meant for young children, such as Babe yelling "What the duck?" and "Textual harassment". In addition, the show also relies on cruelty for comedy.
 * 14) It is very unrealistic at times especially in the first episode where Dub got to the classroom so fast and how did he know what class their in.
 * 15) No character development. In fact, the characters are the complete opposite of character development, as they get worse each episode rather than better.
 * 16) * Realistically, the kids are way too young to own a company.
 * 17) Like Peter Griffin, Dub doesn't get punished from his evil and selfish actions, such as cutting the giant cable wire at the ocean causing the Internet from the entire world to shut down and get away scot-free.
 * 18) It gave Nickelodeon sitcoms a bad reputation.
 * 19) Bad and unsatisfying morals and/or endings in most episodes.
 * 20) * The ending of "Baby Hater" is very disturbing.
 * 21) * The infamous "Flavor City", especially the ending, where Dub tells Ruthless to throw a microwave at a guy who called one of Dub's albums "garbage", thus killing him.
 * 22) * "Boy Band Cat Nose" is considered to be one of the most laziest episodes of the show, since the subplot ends with Trip getting hurt of one of Hudson's traps and the main plot ends with Dub's veterinarian, Dr. Smoontz, turning and coloring Kenzie's cat, Valentine green.
 * 23) * "The One With The Coffee Shop" is a huge insult to Friends.
 * 24) * "Breaking Bad News" has several plot holes that make no sense at all. How on earth would one toothbrush be able to destroy a giant expensive flat-screen TV? Whoever built the TV did a terrible construction job. Yet somehow it's Babe's fault for breaking it? What the heck?!
 * 25) * The ending of "Bear Butt Laser Runner" rips off the South Park episode, "Over Logging".
 * 26) * In "Byte Club" Trip bites off Hudson's ear on a kids' show.
 * 27) Ruthless constantly yelling will get on your last nerves.
 * 28) * The characters NEVER learn from their mistakes. They most likely either don't learn their lesson at all or they do learn a lesson as the episode ends, but end up forgetting about it in the next episode. Once the lesson is learned, what happens? It's gone!
 * 29) The characters scream way too much. Special mention to Babe, who screams whenever anything happens, inevitably ending in all four kids yelling at each other.
 * 30) * The characters are very rude and despicable to each other, especially Trip and Hudson.
 * 31) The show has way too many cameos of internet celebrities, like Glozell, ProJared, and Harley Morenstein.
 * 32) * It just shows that Nickelodeon is trying to be hip and cool.
 * 33) It even has some crossover episodes with Henry Danger.
 * 34) * Both shows have nothing in common to warrant a crossover other than having the same creator.
 * 35) * Henry is even brought back onto the show twice in Season 3.
 * 36) Like Stargate Infinity, the series ended off on a cliffhanger without any continuation at all: In "He's Back", Henry comes to Babe and tells her he wants to spend time with her, causing Babe to abandon her plans with Blake and Mason, but the series ends right here, which is unnecessary, confusing, and also pointless. The Story does not even continue in Henry Danger.
 * 37) It is unknown what happened to Kenzie when she disappeared on the purple chair she was sitting on in "Snoop Therapy".
 * 38) "Why Tonya" is a really bad episode with almost no plot at all. Basically the episode is about a girl named Tonya who demands the Game Shakers to make changes to one of their games, then later she demands Babe and Kenzie to change the game back to the way it was, which is really stupid. Tonya even later kidnaps Kenzie in the Game Shakers bathroom!
 * 39) The promos completely spoiled Henry returning in the final episode, it also made it look like he would be a important character in it when he only appears for a few seconds.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The theme song is catchy.
 * 2) The show has an interesting premise that was unfortunately wasted.
 * 3) The show does have some heartwarming moments.
 * 4) Laughable jokes here and there.
 * 5) It might be debatable, but some of the games are actually kind of fun and amazing to download and play on Apple and Android mobile devices for free.
 * 6) Anytime Dub loses a huge loan, it's bound to be either satisfactory or more.

Reception
