Guilty Pleasure Television

Now my guilty pleasure television program is very much a guilty pleasure, when i went home for the holidays in the summer and again over christmas, my sister watched Disney Channel constantly and i found one show (above all the other garbage kids are shown nowadays) was a show called Wizards of Waverly Place. This show is about a family of wizards growing up and learning about magic as they have to compete against there other siblings in the wizards competition for only one to be a fully fledged wizard and the other two loose there powers, though keeping it hidden from the real world and there every day lives'. Now the shows lead is Alex Russo (played by the disney star Selena Gomez) and her on-screen siblings of Justin Russo (played by David Henrie) and Max Russo (played by Jake T. Austin) with parents Jerry and Theresa Russo (played by David DeLuise and Maria Canals-Barrera respectively).

Now i know what your probably thinking a young man of 20 like myself and im basically watching a kids television program which is well .... true. It is a nice break from typical kids TV in my opinion and makes me actually interested in the characters unlike where i complain about how poor other kids shows are today compared to my time. This show has even shown an up and coming star and it isn't a cast member above, it was a fairly new actress who guessed starred as a vampire called Juliet Van Heusen (played by Bridgit Mendler) who is one to look out for in the future which she has now her own sitcom released in spring of 2010 called Good Luck Charlie which is said to compete with shows aimed at young adults as well as keeping the younger generation audience, a good actress already and am looking forward to following her career.

But back to Wizards of Waverly Place, this show has a lot of humour and yes its humour for the unintelligent audience in all fairness with cheap jokes but it works because the show doesn't take itself to seriously, except for moments of high emotional scenes like ones you will see with Justin Russo and Juliet Van Heusen (David Henrie and Bridgit Mendler's character's). Overall i wouldn't say its a must watch because it isn't and something that many people i know would not understand my liking for it but it takes me out of my own life and enjoy the comedy it has to offer.
